Bone County Canyon

[Noah_Antilles]

Heya,

This is a small project I've spend three days on so far. I was bored of the same old desert so I decided to add a canyon.

I feel like this gives the desert a fresh, new feeling while still retaining the good ol' San Andreas vibe.

Things I've yet got to do:

• Create LOD models.
• Prelight the models so they fit in more with the enviroment.
• Small tweaks here and there.

Let me know what you think!

That is sick!

This is one of the nicest maps i'v seen, but mb you should up the water level, so it would be better in my opinion

[Noah_Antilles]

@Skarbonke Thanks for your feedback I can put the water level up quite easily, but a dry canyon also looks cool in my opinion

Yes, it does, but you never know, there could be some bugs ::)

For test videos, you can run a simple script file that'll assign LODs to all of them then, later on, create the low poly ones.

@CodyJ(L) Yeah I've been trying to find out how exactly, when I try to assign a LOD to those models nothing happens

No, it will be used on my own server.

Which programs did you use to create this? - And if there's the possibility, could you bring me any tutorial to learn how to do this stuff? I'd be glad!

[Noah_Antilles]

@ignatius 

I used Autodesk Maya to model/make the Canyon, and then exported it to Autodesk 3DS Max where I could export it once again to a .DFF and .COL file. (These are the files that GTA uses, DFF is the model itself. COL is the collision file)

As for a tutorial there are loads of modelling tutorials on YouTube that focus on making 3D models for GTA SA. 

I myself am a certified 3D modeller with 5 years of experience, and my advice would be to start small with your models. Create a small house or building, try to import it in GTA and learn from your mistakes.

Good luck!

This is really great job, good dedication. In my opinon, don't add water, maybe some rocks at the bottom so it looks deadly to fall in.

Thanks for your reply

I am busy with a lot of different models atm, but I will make another video once I finished the canyon. I will certainly add some rocks in there!

Keep up, man you're talented
