BioHazard 1.5 RPD 1st Floor Lobby

[SonicBlue]

I stopped this project knowing that in the near future, BioHazard 1.5 will be release (I know that the release date is still unknown), but I'm not that happy to scrap it, so, if anyone is interested:

.dae
.obj
.fbx

There's probably something to add, but it's almost complete, you need ONLY to texture it (UV too) and obviously, render the various angles, feel free to download it only to take a look.

Good luck.

What is this?

What is this?

The 3D model of the RPD Lobby, in various flavours, any 3D software can open one of those files.

Wow, that's some beautiful work you did there!
I really like it!

Someone should texture it and import it into a game engine...

Sonicblue, what were your plans? Were you going to render this scene with textures, lighting etc., for a nice picture to show us, or were you making a game of resident evil 1.5?

I was going to make a tech demo of that, for realtime 3D, but I encountered troubles doing it, so I "updated" the low poly to be used for rendering purpose, and when the last BioHazard 1.5 claim came out I stopped working on it.

I leave it here to anyone who want to finish this and use it for a mod or anything they want, you can also reduce it's poly count to be realtime friendly, is not difficult, but it's a long process, you better rebuild the geometry from scratch.

Nice work SonicBlue! glad to see i'm not the only one who is working on 1.5 rooms =) I wouldn't give up on it even if there is a possibility of 1.5 coming out up until then we have free control on what the rooms look like until it gets leaked. BTW have you considered joining the 1,2,3 modding forums? We have and entire thread devoted to 3d modeling.

Oh I remember this! Good work!

I'll take a look, when I've something new I'll post there.

Nice work but don't stop..... There has been no new updates for almost three weeks now.... I'm starting to get the feeling we've lost this copy as well...

I looked at the model of the incomplete 1st floor of the RPD, and it looks amazing. But, to use it in a game engine, you do have to reduce the polygons, edges, etc. As long as you have good textures, you don't need all of this detail.I think this high quality model is good for rendering a still image or using it in an animation sequence for a cutscene. Good Job!

You're expecting news from a secret project? When the time comes there will be news ;)
@Sonic
Nice work dude

[shanemurphy]

That's what he was going for when creating this, to be used for static background rendering.

[SonicBlue]

Thanks guys

It's in fact the render ready version, all the edges are bevelled (or chamfered, depends on the software terminology) to catch better the light.

If you really want to make a game environment you have to use something like this:

.fbx

which is the latest version before I started to model the details on it, some stuff is really basic, and I think the layout is different from the final one, so, you can use this to build a game environment, or you can retopologyze the mesh on the final version and take advantage of the highpoly already done, and this is the easy part of the work, there is to do optimization, triangulation of the mesh, UV mapping, backing (Normals, AO), texturing, and the you have to import all the stuff into a game engine, not to mention that this was not model on the grid, so it maybe will not fit with something like UDK, but don't know as I didn't tried it.

[Black~Crow]

Thanks.So, I have to UV map the 1st floor,and I hate UV mapping objects! I don't use UDK, I use Unity game engine. To make the object fit , I just have to make the units in a 3d modeling software to metric. Then it is easy to scale the object in Unity.

YoU should have made a complete 1st floor, It would be easy to use a complete map than a partial map. I could use this to make a short demo. Nice work anyway.

[SonicBlue]

If you take a look at the object, if I remember correctly, almost all the stuff is UV mapped, not perfectly but they'll work.

For the scale, the objects are all made with the metric system, but as they are not made on the grid (I read too late about the"build on grid" method) , as I said, they will occupy random space, so is not certain that the player will not get stuck somewhere in the map, this regards, so, if you encounter problems you have to move the vertex to snap on the grid, don't know if decimal values are accepted.

Just use the normal UV mapping, a collection of tiling materials is the best way to go to texture this beast, for props I believe Capcom used your standard shaders for most objects.

If you want to make a 1997 style render you have to use very basic texturing techniques, as most of the stuff have not real textures but just procedural noises mixed together, Resident Evil 2 looks more sophisticated from this point of view, as they used a lot of realistic textures. The 1.5 method doesn't work for realtime purpose, it will look bad, really bad.

[Black~Crow]

Did you ever think of trying to create the scenery for the RE2 demo disc? It would be interesting to see what you do. I mean even make a game(first person camera view) so people can walk through the game.
