Hi Julius,

Nice model, really!

i'm glad to hear you like the model.

@gaieus said:

I have positioned (rotated radially) the texture on the arch for you hoping that you used the same component at least on that storey... but then I realised that I edited the one unique arch and then I was too lazy to do the job elsewhere, too.

i must admit i did quite a mess with components...

@gaieus said:

Also, the positioning could have been done more nicely...
Well, anyway, this is basically the way to adjust the arch if you do not have a ready-to-use arch material.

thank you very much! yes, it could have been positioned more nicely, but it doesn't matter, you did a great job...but...i'm too stupid to understand how you positioned the material ...

@gaieus said:

Note that you seem to have applied the material from outside the components' context, you will have to apply it onto the individual faces one-by-one first to be able to position it.

this is because i added the texture when the model was cmplete, and i was too lazy to add it to each compnent (as you've seen they're quite a lot: the arches on the same stories seem to be identical, but in fact they are not, they have little differences).

so, could you explain me how you positioned the material on the arch? thanks in advance.

di niente

did you upload this model to the 3d warehouse?

btw, if you can't get indigo to work, why don't you try Kerkythea?

@unknownuser said:

Cool (model by Julius of course

yes, next step will be rendering! (but in KT)

the model is awesome!
and as pichuneke said, you should definitely try Kerkythea, it's free and quite easy. i'm sure you would learn very fast.

i like the model and a better render would be great!

nice renders!
i like the very first one, the car and the TIN.

thank you!

Gran bel lavoro, complimenti!
Only one suggestion:
I would have used radial brick texture on the arcs

i thought about that... but how can that be done?

i was wondering whether i should post this model in the special interest user group "Archaeological & Historical Reconstruction".

i've noticed that there isn't a model of this bridge on google earth yet. do you think i should notify it to someone of the google team? (for example Craig...).

i made a model of the Pont du Gard (bridge on the Gard) which is a roman aqueduct in the south
of france.
you can read more about it on Wikipedia.

it isn't a reconstruction of the original aqueduct, but a copy of it as it is now.
Older version
the model i uploaded on the 3d warehouse has the google earth terrain too:

EDIT: i uploaded the completed version: download that instead of the old one.
i left the attachment of the old one so you can compare the two versions.

ciao stef.
per prima cosa: è normale che ti si visualizzi la scritta "Requires for SketchyPhysics2b1". lo fa sempre quando utilizzi sketchyphysics 2 beta. se ti da fastidio puoi evidenziarlo e cancellarlo come un normale testo.
la finestra blu serve, come hai detto, per i controlli: non ti visualizza niente perchè non ne stai usando nessuno. se aggiungi joints del tipo servo, piston e motor ti aggiunge automaticamente un controller.
se invece vuoi aggiungere un controller a un hinge joint devi prima visuallizzare la finestra "UI" (la attivi col bottone con sritto su UI appunto); dopo di che immetti un nome nel campo difianco a "controller".
puoi anche controllare più joints con un solo controller: basta che immetti lo stesso nome per il controller di ogni joint.

se c'è qualcosa che non capisci chiedi pure.

Giulio

quelle cerchiate in blu sono le scene: per visualizzare il pannello delle scene seleziona "window -> scenes"; per vedere le impostazioni e altre opzioni sull'animazione vai su "view -> animation".

i like so much the leningrad cowboys! they're very funny but good musicians too.
you should watch the two movies they've done: Leningrad cowboys go America and Leningrad cowboys meet Moses.

i think i'll join mr.frederik's class too!

what's "Texture Tweaker"?

42 inches?? i didn't know there were such wide screens too, it's bigger than my TV!

Here's mine at the moment (i change it sometimes):

i've noticed that it's better not to shoot photos which are going to be used for photomatching with wideangle, because they cause a slight fisheye-like effect.

thanks! i didn't understand why yours had more faces, but now i see that you used a circle with 96 segments, whereas i used the default one with 24 segments.

i updated the model in the first post too. the original size was 1,65 MB, now it's 685 KB!

a great thank to the "two Bob" who are helping me in reducing the size of the column! i really appreciate it!
