Feb-March challenge: Virtual Cityscape
Virtual Cityscape
I've been playing Sim City 4 lately (after being completely disapointed with Sim City Societies) and thought that maybe it'd make an interesting theme for a challenge. So, thinking along those lines, how about an environment challenge? Build a city! Haha, just kidding. But how about building an interesting building? Or a huge suspension bridge over water? Or a Ferry Terminal with a great big commuter ferry pulling into dock? Or maybe go simpler. A bus stop? A peaceful city park? A water tower? Check out some of these Sim City 4 screenshots to get your motor running: http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/1...9821084lc6.png http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...1183515102.png http://www.deafgamers.com/04screensh...deluxepic1.jpg http://yace.za.free.fr/captures/Simc...0-01-49-93.jpg A couple guides: 1) It doesn't have to be pretty. Feel free to do a slum lord's crappy apartment building. :) 2) Modeling and Texturing are required. 3) You can be super-duper-high-res or do low-poly game models... your choice! 4) Name your threads something like Virtual Cityscape Challenge: Baseball Field (challenge name: your entry title) Feel free to ask any questions in this thread. No prizes I'm afraid... But you'll get a nifty medal for getting 1st, 2nd, or 3rd! We can even go crazy with categories if you guys want: Most Creative, Most Realistic, etc. Depends on if we get enough entries, though, I imagine. UPDATE: Just thought of a cool idea. If we get enough people, we can put all the entries together in one render and have our own little SM city. :) If enough finish, I'll take care of it! Deadline Noon April 1st (USA Pacific Time)! No, it's not a joke. :) |
ohh hell yes!
I am definitely in this one. Sweet theme hombre. |
yeah sounds cool, i'm in.
|
you've been playing a lot of sim city 4 also huh? Thought I was the only one obsessed with it recently. Good idea for a challenge I might join in on this one
oh and is your deadline a joke or is it really on april fools day? haha, had to ask. |
I`m in - not done an environment for awhile now.
|
I think I am in!
|
Mike, can it be photo real or does it have to look like Sim City graphics?

I wasn't under the impression that hi-res meant photo real. I have seen low res look photo real when textured and rendered properly.
|
you can have eleventy-billion polys if you want. Although I wouldn't recommend it.
Sim City 4 graphics, by the way, are a combination of sprites and 3D models. All of the buildings and citizens are sprites while all the vehicles are low poly 3D models. |
only sim city 4 style graphics!?
....ok, i quit. :( |
uh, no... do whatever you want. Doesn't have to be like Sim City at all. I was just adding to the conversation.
|
ah, sorry about that... i'm in again :hug:
|
Can you make a collection of buildings as an evironment? Like a village, or a shopping center?
|
deadline april 1st? a little long, no?
either way, im in if i can get some free time:ninja: |
