Greets,

After more than a year off from learning to model I am back at it and looking for opinions.

This one is about 70% finished.

Very, very nice! I like the texture too. What program are you using for modeling?

This looks really good. Great texture and details. Maybe the bricks are a bit too big?

Well Artur, this is only a WIP, to see how Vue takes it. I havenever exported one of mythings into Vue so it is a first. I am going to have different mats ob it i think.

Nice one with great textures But I am agree with Rutra.: the bricks are too big

Excellent work Paul - really nice details!

Most impressive work. I think the concrete blocks are too large, but I havent seen your reference images nor any other examples so what do I know? Not much obviously since you have given such tremendous attention to all the details.

Really like it. It looks more real than do most models. It has a life to it. Don't know any other way to explain it.

Very nice modelling - out of curiosity, how many polys in the chain link fences?

Wow great work, maybe add a bit to the lower fence height and adjust the block size slightly, but this is great, nice texturing and very realistic :)

Well Flak, initially there were 307,000+ in the robes alone.Which is odd, since i am not at all sure how Cinema 4D is calculating polygons because the entire model has 500,000+ but individual components add up to more than that, and VBue states it has 1,000,000+ but it loads no problem.So I am confused.

Guys,these are not the textures going on the final version anyway. I am going to add them in the end. Here is my referance photo btw.

I think both bryce and vue convert imported models to tri's (polygons with 3 verts) so if you had a model made up of 100 4 vert polys (quads), it will turn into a 200 polygon thing when imported into Vue/Bryce (as it divides each quad into two tri's).

I just did a quick test with a cube I made in LW to try this out.

cube - 6 quads (4 vert polys) reads as 6 polys in LW -> into Vue as a 12 polygon object
cube - 6 quads in LW that I tripled so that each face is now made of two triangles instead of one square and now reads as 12 polys in LW -> into Vue, also 12 polygons

Vue appears to have tripled the quad-cube but did nothing to the tri-cube, so it looks like it triples the mesh on import.

I have no idea whats going on with C4d's internal counting - very strange.
