simosimo posted:I can already see it's terrible way to do it. For such a simple object (basically a modified cube!) there's way to many parts on the texture and it would be impossible to adjust. Even a slightly more complex object would be a mess. The plotted points are called the uv map or the uv coordinates. The flat texture is called a texture map. You need to get a good uv mapping for games tutorial.

Fish Fry Andy posted:A lot of the exits along I70 are like that, I'm actually surprised that the west Lawrence exit isn't connected to a roundabout as well, although there's one on Clinton, two or three by the Legends, and about a billion between Clinton and 6th. Weest Lawrence is pretty much roundabout central though, I think I drive through at least two every time I leave town. Even some of the rural highways are starting to get roundabouts, I think that 50 has at least two right now. I have no idea what is going on in this state. What's going on is a nationwide trend of switching from signaled intersections or 4-way stops to traffic circles because they are literally objectively better in every way.

I wish more companies were willing to and the market more forgiving about experimenting and screwing up publicly in order to collect actual data. Sitting in design meetings at work there's such a need to pull the needle out of the haystack first try that you lock up and go with what's already known at the expense of potential. Edit: I thought this was the Steam thread but whatever.

Utah started installing those en masse a few years ago and they do their job and no one hits anyone on them. You and your neighbors will be a-ok. We have even more confusing intersections (like this: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6821204,-111.9811503,18.04z ) and people learn.

BBJoey posted:why is everything a grid Utahns pride themselves on their precious "grid system" where all roads are denoted by their coordinate number and addresses take the form of "210 south 400 west" type coordinates so you theoretically don't need a map to find a place. It rarely works out that way though (for example I live in "Kirkbride Avenue" so no one ever knows where the gently caress I live), so usually I just curse it, but it's a matter of pride since Brigham Young came up with it in the mid 1800s or something. I grew up in southern California where everything is a curved road, so I hear you.

Seems pretty high. I would say 500-900 triangles max. (Triangles is the count that matters). They need LODs I assume as well, and those should go even lower, down to 50 tris or less. You can get free programs that generate LODs though.

Remmiz posted:The one thing I really want is to have my city feel alive. I want events which draw tourists and causes traffic increase, parades, disasters (of course), and other things which make my cities feel more dynamic. More themes and transportation types would be cool but I just don't find the lasting enjoyment from those. That was stuff I really liked in SimCity. Stuff like the concerts and sports events and such felt pretty awesome as you watched it unfold and tried to manage things.

I liked the gameplay/progression stuff that they had in the most recent SimCity. Stuff like buildings that I could upgrade over time or buildings that had an event once a week like concerts or sports matches; things where I could watch a special circumstance test my city, see where the failure points were, and then react to to prepare for next time. I think things that you could opt into or out of (unlike disasters) like "Would you like to make a bid to host the Olympics in 10 years?" that would give you a big list of things you needed to organize in facilities and infrastructure would be really neat. It sounds like there needs to be a bit more game in the game, is all. If they aren't gonna go full zen garden and flood the game with really granular tools to build parking lots and sea walls and chain link fencing and stuff, that is.

Fasdar posted:So I'm a big fan of The Motherland Calls and other giant statues. Does anyone know why exactly there aren't more monumental sculptures available? Is it the triangles? I've heard something about triangles. It takes more tris and such to make them look good, but they're doable. It's much easier and much quicker to model buildings than organic figures, though.

If so, the interface of any of them will be daunting and make little sense until you internalize it.

I did enjoy some of the subtler gamey elements of the latest SimCity. Things like concert events and even the day/night rush hour cycle gave a good tug of war between city bonsai and problem solving.

Most of the fancy stuff isn't yet scaleable to real-time content like player-placed buildings. A lot of the really fancy lighting in games is still baked in, for example.

The most realistic-looking cities will always be the ones where most everything is planned and laid out by hand block by block and lot by lot because that's how real cities are built over time.

There are several things that are making an optical illusion of a slope, but I think the main culprit is that road in the back on the left. It's actually straight and then curves slightly to the left but it looks like it's completely straight but starts going down an incline. The texture repetition on the grass behind it gives it away though.
