I really want to re-start doing some PoMo towers for C:S, and apparently working directly from SketchUp is easier now because of ThomThom's extension. Useful, because I'm approximately 1000 times better at SketchUp than 3dsMax. Not looking forward to optimizing those models, all the UV mapping, and figuring out how to bake, lod, and shake though  Any tips from the modelers here? I think the other thread is dead.

Those look nice. I'm still trying to wrap my head around texturing in max. Sketchup is cool and fun but it can produce some terribly inefficient meshes. I haven't used both side by side enough to make a direct performance comparison

Yeahhh SketchUp's texturing for C:S workflow is supremely retarded, so back to learning 3dsMax for me! I can always go and import the base model into it anyway

Some more shots and a little post from CO: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads%2Fcities-skylines-after-dark-dev-diary-5-almost-there.882177%2F Having separate budget sliders for day and night is cool. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Sep 18, 2015 |

Well well well if I just collapse in 3dsMax afterwards, it seems importing SketchUp components as layers cuts my tri use by a factor of 4.

The question is if they'll also see different use in a way that makes sense. Will people actually go home from school so nothing is lost by having them closed? Will more people be hurt so you need to have the ambulances available? Will people be more annoyed by the noise, or can you just let all garbage collection happen at night when there's no traffic? Also, I suppose it's for services as a whole — otherwise, dedicated night bus and subway routes would be neat.

7 days to After Dark release - Something to read while you wait What is included in the free update A quite substantial portion of the expansion pack is free content.  What is included in the paid update So the free stuff is good and all, but the elements that will really add a new layer to your city & the simulation is in the paid part. - Several new landmark buildings - Prison & attached functionality - International airport - New large cargo hub - Massive bus station - Taxis, taxi stand & depot - Bikes and bike paths - Roads with bike and bus lanes - Leisure specialization + buildings - Tourism specialization + buildings - New beautification (parks and other ploppables) - New props, vehicles, citizens and more!

Looks like my plan of layering stuff in Sketchup, through 3ds Max, and then into the game is working out  Still, 3000 tris already (while still modeling, moving towards 5k probably) and no texturing done yet:

Imma bore you guys with some more work in progress pics but I'm putting an ungodly amount of my unfortunately free time into making a nice building:   A slightly older pic of getting sketchup to play nice with 3ds Max:  Only 5160 triangles! Less than Mr Maison's Colossal Mills, and seeing as how some of Gula's growables go above 3000 on a 4x4 lot (my tower is 10x10), I'm feeling pretty good about my model! Texturing is going to be a total bitch though.

Does Cities: Skylines let you do bump mapping for fine details? I haven't played around with it in ages but at first glance it sounds like a slam dunk for handling things like those vertical lines. Although on second glance - maybe that's what you're doing? The last pic looks flat.

I haven't played around with it in ages but at first glance it sounds like a slam dunk for handling things like those vertical lines. Although on second glance - maybe that's what you're doing? The last pic looks flat. It does, but the verticality of this tower isn't exactly fine detail. Those pillars (pilasters?) are a meter wide. If you look at base game assets, or nicely optimized workshop ones, you'll see people using geometry at that scale all the time, and efforts to do this with normal mapping seem to turn out pretty lovely-looking. Still, 40% of my triangles are invested in the vertical facade elements right now and if it wasn't for the layering shown in the last pic, they would have broken up the sketchup model to a truly horrible degree. So I'm going to recombine a number of elements because I can, and since the texture should enable 120 meter-long things @ a 10cm resolution (1024x1024). I've mapped gently caress all up until now though, and I hope I don't run into .fbx exporting problems where you'll see seams like with my last try

I'd say having to add a ton of lighting props might be more work than doing a color range selection on your luminosity map in PS

Tons of assets will probably just outright break, though, so there's always that.
