Wooden Bridges? Wild Animal Park Remake

[Mr X 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm in the process of reconstructing my favorite Red Alert 2 map, Wild Animal Park. The problem I'm currently having is the ra3 bridge selection. I'd really like to have something similar to the original. The link is to a very high resolution shot of the original map, that I used to build the height map off of.

Is there a wooden bridge hidden somewhere? If not, do any of the 3d pros want to knock one out real quick?

 

Thanks for any help!

I don't think there is anything "off the peg" in RA3 that is the same - and I guess it's no small task to "mod" a replica, so here's a few that you can use as poor substitues - found under Civilian -> STRUCTURE:

Thanks for the reply. I ended up looking into what it takes to create a new one, and you're right, not something worth doing. I ended up going with the first one. Here is what I have so far, if any of you want to try it out and give some feedback, that'd be great

I still need to play around with the minimap, add the bridge blowing up animation if its possible, and fix the textures/add more detail. Let me know what else you guys suggest.

Cool I'll have a little look.

Thats a pretty good transition into RA3 Mr X!

 

Haven't played the map yet tho - just had a peek in WB. The main thing that struck me is the grass blending that you used. Using Yucatan_02 as a base texture lends itself to a closer set of textures that gives a much better overall look. In this shot below, I cleared a small area and used textures Yucatan_05, 08 and 09 to show you what I mean:

 

 

I know you wanted to get as close as poss to the original, but personally, I would explore using some of the great features RA3 WB has, that just weren't available before - like Cliff Objects. I know it takes forever to place them correctly, but if done right, it makes a big difference.

 

A great job though - well done.

 

Just my thoughts...
