I worked the bridge over and now it has two pieces(roof and ground):
Is this one better or the older one?

thats not really the best angle... can u get a different angle of it? and from what i see is that glass surrounding it??

That look really cool. How many different meshes do you have making up the bridge?

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 5:25 am

2 meshes(roof and ground)

FReAK · Post by **FReAK** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 5:30 am

ookay, so i was right about the glass surrounding the bridge right?

but how do you make a tunnel?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 7:18 am

When i make a tunnel, I either extrude into the cliff, or mostly use boolean, what you do is go to compound objects on create, what you do is make say a cylinder or a box or however you want the tunnel to look, put it into the mountain or whatever you want to put it in, then on boolean, click on the object that you want cutting, then pick operand b as the object that it will be the cutting template, and it should cut it out for you.

The bridge was a good idea...

THANKS SONICTAG!

But do you can make a box and delete the faces that make up the entrance?

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 6:12 pm

i hate this open edges controls....i can throw my bridge into the trash....

You can imagine it

.
But why they control open edges and such things?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 8:49 am

If i was going to make a bridge with a roof, I would use a box like object for the part you walk on, for the roof, i would get another box, and make it look the way you did, that way you wont have any open edges.

Ok, i will show you this time how I would do it, this is a quick scene with a bridge i made with a similar concept of yours, except the roof is detailed with segments as you can see. It looks thicker, which is what I think a realistic approach to a bridge would be like.

Wow sweet bridge. u should give him the tags for that roof to make it even better!

Someone knows how to make a texture glow?

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 2:41 pm

This could be a bridge on the site (1 Mesh):

I need glowing textures for it.[/img]

FReAK · Post by **FReAK** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 5:20 pm

hmm thats another nice bridge.. u should only impliment those if it becomes too high of a poly count or if u want the whole level to be sunny so the bridge isnt like this nocturnal vermins hiding place. both bridges get like a 9/1o cus they need more textures and glowy points!!!!
