Wings3D: Modeling a Ruin Entrance

An entrance to some ruins. The model may be used in my game later. Modelled by RemixedCat (me) in real time with no alterations.



This may be the entrance to the catacombs andrakon showed here on this blog. I did this in real time to the song that was playing in Windows Media Player 11. I used FRAPS to capture it while it also recorded the song. It was very hard to do that before the song was over! it was very fun to do this and I will feature more videos like this later on. I will make some more improvements to this. This was just a base design that I will improve and enhance later as we need it. I hope you enjoyed this! :)

Wings3D: Modeling a 2 Story house

Time has not been altered in any way, the video is raw and unedited. Modeling done by Remixedcat (me). Porch columns were added later.

It was very hard to do that before the song was over! it was very fun to do this and I will feature more videos like this later on. Porch colums were added later as I could not decide the design, plus each porch with that house is going to be different to give the homes a custom touch! :)

Wings3D: Modeling a small Building

This building was modeled by RemixedCat (me) in about three and a half minutes.

I thought it would be very nice to show you that a small building can be done in as little as 3 minutes and 30 seconds in wings3d.

Wings3d: Texturing a model with the Snap Image tool

Here is a time lapse video of a small tudor style apartment building being textured in Wings3d. Each video is a little over 7:30 mins long. This took about an hour however.

Part 1

Part 2

In the video I am texturing in Wings3D by using the Snap Image command in the tools menu. I used 7 different textures on this building. Most of them are 256x256px but the two wood textures are 128x128px and the iron texture is 64x64px. This method is a bit unusual but yields great results. I will be using the same textures all over my town for most of the buildings so this should be more efficient than using one 1024x1024px texture for each building. With the snap image tool I can get a very high quality look because I can scale the image to be as small as I want. It does take a wile to do however.

The trick is getting the correct camera angle. This is especially tricky when your wood texture is horizontal and the wood beams are vertical, this is why I sometimes tilt the building on its side. Also to ensure the texture is applied uniformly, it is best done in Orthogonal view.

You can change the color of the images after you have applied them too. You can see this done at about 7:00 mins into the second movie. It is done by editing the material the image is linked to and changing the diffuse color. This shows me making the chimney bricks slightly more red.
