DeleD Community Edition

Sindwiller

Hey guys!

I downloaded 1.5 a couple of day's ago and worked again with DeleD. 1.5 is really neat, especially the UV-Editor. Also, the Edge-picking in the 3D view changes everything. Wink

Im modeling lowpoly RTS buildings for the Mapcore Lowpoly Modelling Contest. The restrictions are: 120 triangles (not polygons) and a 128x128 skin. So, dont wonder if the texture looks really bad... and its my first skin ever. Wink

Still WIP

Wfr, Sindwiller

Looking ordinary Smile

. I think the "Entrance" is too small for an Orc. (i would make an Triangle-style door).

Cool, ultra-lowpoly modeling like that is always inspiring! Just one 128x128 skin... my oh my...

Very nice example indeed - and 128x128... that IS low-res indeed! Very Happy

Btw: It seems like DeleD has some kind of Z Buffer problems... Confused

Oh, yeah, I see. How is your zNear and zFar plane set up?

Like MrFletcher says: the near and far plane are fully configurable through View -> Options -> Default -> Camera Settings -> Near and far clipping plane. This means you are in full control over the z-buffer precision yourself. To improve it, increasing the near clipping plane would be your best bet.

However, your screenshot doesn't look like ordinary z-buffer imprecision. Do those artifacts occur in the actual 3D window, too, or just in the screenshot?

Sindwiller · Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:02 pm Post subject:

Ah, thx for the explanation. But it seems that increasing the Near clipping plane to 1500 doesnt help. And yes, those artifacts occur in the 3D-View too.

Hmmm... would sending me that model violate any contest rules? Seeing this 'in action' would certainly help to determine what's going on.

(if you know a way to reproduce it with just any two primitives I am all ears, of course).

Nono, its not a problem. I will send you a private message with the download link.

Still very WIP. I have problems figuring out the right tone for the skin and wood.
