i thought of a really cool project, a project we all do! here are the rules:
1)first we decide what type of city we want
2)one of us strarts with a building or something and uploads the blender file
3)everyone add something of their own once in a while and then upload again
4)if you are using the file right now, post an [updating] post, so no one else will put his updates without your updates
5)dont forget to post a [file is useble] post once you finished updating
6)no deleting stuff that other people did!
7)once we are finished we make a path for the camera to walk all around our city!
Hey, cool idea, I’d love to do that. Can I continue after you? You can begin, and then I’ll be glad to do that kinda thing. As for the type, I don’t know, a few skyscrapers, a footbridge etc. and for the rest houses, supermarkets etc. would be cool.
This was done a long time ago. I wonder what ever happened to that original effort.
Anyone know?
The way the original one worked, if I recall correctly, was that someone hosted the main blend file and people sent in their blend files and the houses/buildings were appended to the main file. You were given/assigned a plot in the original blend file to put your building.
bgdm: the guy who hosted it (pofo) couldn’t do it anymore… so he gave up… I was thinking of starting it up again… and actually from time to time, I still do… but nowadays I kind of think that people wouldn’t be that interested.
I even have the original blends and some newer logos I did that never got out
what could be nice is that someone makes a city plan and people can get “terrain” to create their buildings. effectively turning it into a “real” city.
i can create the city map but i dont know anything about city planing exept the basic stuff.
I’ll see how all of this is going to be put together and watch for a little while and then i’ll see if i’ll make something for this project. Sounds ambitious, hope you get it going.
WOW! Great plan macblender. I wish I could join but I"m not very good with blender right now. I love the idea. I hope this will get finished cause it’s an awesome idea.
