Koper Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) hi all, Can anyone pls give me some idea on how to create a quick and nice landscape with minimum polygon. IMO... I don't believe that 'quick and nice' is possible, unless you use sketchup, but that will still be alot of work. no matter what, you will have to sit down and grind it out. sorry hi all, Blend between the ground and the sky (as attached in the sample image). again IMO... the best way to acheive that is in post production usin AE, combustion, Premier or even CS3. take a look at http://www.videocopilot.net/ for AE training! and the best is that site is that AE basic training on that site is for FREEEEE!! . brilliant site!!! g'luck Edited May 26, 2008 by Koper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAllusionisst Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Get the client to have an aerial photo of the area as well as a 360 panoramic and apply to ground and inside of cylinder. Very little geometry and very fast for your portion. Not necessarily really realistic in that it isn't true 3D, but it is fast, and low poly and you can apply some 3D to ground plane that you apply aerial photo to Alternate is to import Google Earth site into SketchUp, but image resolution isn't great so sometimes using a water color or paint type filter on it and abstracting it a bit is more aesthetically appealing. Probably no real quick and nice method, adding complete and actual context to animations is a pain in the arse Good luck and show us what you end up with!

Claudio Branch Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Adriaan and Russell have provided you with probably the best approaches if you want to do this fast ("down and dirty"). However, your clients' expectations may be quite higher regarding the quality that this approach is going to yield. Sometimes the best advice is not how to do something, but how to say NO. You must manage your clients' expectations and to do that you need an honest assessment of your own abilities within a given deadline. Just my friendly 2 cents...

SandmanNinja Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Give him a quote to model the surrounding town and landscape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Branch Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 ... i can't give a quote as i am just an employee.. Naveen, just PM me if you want me to take a closer look. The site plan in your initial post is similiar to the types of terrain models I usually tackle on my own projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Maybe something in your favour - if the flythrough is done, perhaps the 'background' can have some blur applied, thus concealing the low-res quality of image planes? I know when I do fly, I'm usually gripping the seats and not looking out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
