Massing model

i have just done the massing model with maps into crysis.
still need alot of work, but it will do for now.


From 3ds setup


Into Sandbox2 with maps


Building with site context

All Systems GO! :D

I just solved the materials problem. It looks like I was right after all. In saving the textures out in max using the exporter.



But the one thing I didn’t do is to apply the material in the sandbox2.



Also the Scale is right!!. It seems that sandbox uses mm. so if you set your 3ds to mm it should be fine.



A person is about 180cm and the box is 150cm

massing model

I have just stated making a massing model for my project.
Because I came from a architectural background, I use ArchiCad to make most of my buildings.




Once I have made the massing model in cad, I imported into 3ds and set up all the crytek materials and the layers. Basically get ready for import into sandbox.



When I imported sandbox. And did some test. But still no maps…:/

imported but....

I got the model into the game but the textures maps a still not showing up...
PAIN.......

PRT Memory Manager error

can't get the texture exporter to work......
keep coming up with this PRT Memory TAB
i think is something to do witht he file setup.

Proposed Architectures Part 2

Transport Museum, Kelvinside by Zaha Hadid for Glasgow City Council



The building would be a tunnel-like shed, which is open at opposite ends to the city and the Clyde. In doing so it becomes porous to its context on either side. However, the connection from one to the other is where the building diverts to create a journey away from the external context into the world of the exhibits. Here the interior path becomes a mediator between the city and the river which can either be hermetic or porous depending on the exhibition layout. Thus the museum positions itself symbolically and functionally as open and fluid with its engagement of context and content.

Proposed Architectures Part 1

Zaha Hadid's Museum in Vilnius



she won the Architectural Competition which is part of a study to explore the feasibility, from an architectural, economic, and cultural perspective, of establishing a world-class museum in Vilnius. The study includes programming recommendations for the proposed museum and a market study and economic impact analysis. The museum site is located in a large public green space on the banks of the Neris River, centrally located between the old and new centers of the city.

Crysis SDK kit

I just found out that inorder for you to import models into the engine i need the Crysis SDK kit for max......:/
after some googleing found a working link

How to Export From 3ds to Sandbox

Becouse i'm a 3ds user and do most of my modeling in max i needed to know how to import part into sandbox
i found this very useful link.

Into the engine

Here a some images of what the engine is able to.
not bad a say



And



Also



Can't wait to add my own building into it.

Crytek engine

I've just downloaded the game with the engine which is about 6.8gb.....
gave the game a test run, which work fine, but show sings of frame rate drops.
might have to drop the setting down abit.

Crytek + Archi = fun

After buying the crysis engine off steam, I did some research online to see if anyone out there here use this engine for the use of architecture.

I found 2 YouTube links, here it is



And
