fletcherj Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 Hey Guys,So I started reading up on Scenery Development for X-Plane 9 and 10 and I started developing one of my local airports. Quincy Municipal is a GA airport about 15 miles west of the Florida state capital of Tallahassee.I did a portion of my PPL check ride at this airport.I began developing the FBO building in sketchup and I plan on exporting to Blender to learn texturing. My concern is there is alot going on in this scenery and I want to find a balance between detail and performance. Are there any techniques I can begin using this early in the process to insure performance within the sim?I've attached a few pics of my progress and a picture of the actual FBO building.Thanks for looking!Justin Quote
Redfisher Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 Tile your UV's the best you can to re-use texture space. Model detail where you think it's important. Other than that, we're all going down the same path to the unknown. Quote
Simmo W Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 Other than that, we're all going down the same path to the unknown.Amen to that Red!Make sure u kill those sketch up people before export, it'll save you thousands of polys.Yes, if you have a lot of buildings, get as many textures in one png as possible, and use textures to represent window frames rather than beautiful 3d modeling Quote
