A real Urban scene of Ethiopia.
ሰላም (selam)
I came to know the ‘power’ of BGE when I used it to create a simple interactive 3D (walk through ) for a residential design . since I came to learn about the basics of blender, why not push my limits … and it will surly help me learn more…so
I’m creating (or at least I’m trying to duplicate) a real urban scene from addis ababa. That is were I live (it is a capital of Ethiopia, on the right corner of Africa. You won’t miss it , it is quite big ).
Just as a starting point, I have chosen a location from my office to home ( it is a 5 min walk ), I thought it was better to start with a place I’m familiar with, and taking the photos will be easy.
I have been working on it for a while, and I want to make sure that I’m doing the right thing , before I go too far down the wrong road.
Basically ,you will be driving around a car in the city, I have already chosen my car – a Chevrolet Blazar (It is common car around the city ) Honestly I don’t remember where I got the model, but it was with me for a while(sorry I didn’t give any credit ) – and I manage to get it running using a tutorial from tutorialaforblender3d. It works perfectly.
As for the real scene, I have only started modeling and got the basic layout right, I’m refining it step by step . I’m using different layers, for the streets and buildings. ( I hope that won’t have an effect on the game).
One of the things that annoy me most is my connection is slow – no laughing , I use a dial up connection coz it is cheap and honestly as fast as you can get here. Of course , I can go faster if I’m willing to pay all that I earn… so if you guys don’t get lots of screen shots or blender files, don’t hold it against me
መልካም ጊዜ
UPDATE: i just finished my game , using unity3d, since i couldn’t find a decent car tutorial to guide me. you can download the game from minus.com @:
I’m hopping to end up with a racing Game … “freewalk” will work too, but I will have to make things in more detail, coz that will be the only thing the ‘driver’ will go – look around
well,it is all yours,i think. i only uploaded the model and the
textures, coz the scripts need some improvements, to make it act more real.
you can get it at all the w…and woofiles.com/dl-215160-CRT14wyr-CBlazer.exe
i did the modelling & it was a mess and lots of polys.(16845) . so I’m doing it again after giving my self a long absence and i did the streets(around 1000 faces ) and i’m texturing it or trying to ( will do the step by step )… I did That yesterday

Ooooooooo… OTO, this is an honor. I have been around to your site many times and I even tried to “steal” a texture from your suburb model for my ring road but it made it look a bit fancy for Addis. this is nice
The annoying thing about the street lights is it has 14 faces, multiply that by almost 100 pcs and I’ll have almost as much face as my streets and buildings…. That seems a waste
Blender can handle 20.000 faces inscreen and a scene of a couple of million faces could still run smooth. 1400 faces for streetlights is really nothing.
I like your progress. Why isn’t this in GLSL-mode yet?
