Wow this is uber!
And yes It looks like it has lots of polies.

Could we have a pict of this in-game?

[elio]

thx

I love it. My personal preference is of course C&C or Red Alert style power plants with huge cooling towers/chimneys, but I think your model will fit perfectly in the game. Can't wait to see it textured ingame.

Wow, a huge power generator!!!

Great job elio, i liked very much of your "big" power generator.

You can also make the model of the normal power generator, but without those 3 huge pylons around of it.

Texture it, and you will make me proud

Brilliant, as for the size, a real life power plant would be that size or bigger, so I think it makes for a more realistic scale.

Actually, I too have a secret crush on the way-too-big power generator. The only problem is that the base plate is too small. Oh, and the structure needs to cover more tiles to avoid creating clipping hell.

of course, i didn't want it soo big, i'd like 2x2 tiles, like the original, but i haven't got the time to try 10x if the pie export matches

But if you just figure out once how many units wide a tile is, you can easily fix this and any other scale issues you encounter down the line.

arranged the uv-mesh

now.. i proceed to texturing

Neat. Can you fit any team colours on it?

[elio]
