I'm tired of City Of Rome Graphics..

[DaChains]

Hello

I was hoping with the new engine a new Rome will arise with new buildings and such, but then i saw the renders...being a bit dissapointed (not of the effort of course, i am a graphic designer so i know the time and stress 3d modelling brings) i decided to take out of the dust a little project i started some time ago...a new Rome...

As its a WORK IN PROGRESS, ignore the materials and some props that are used for measurements and such.

Looks nice

I like it with the bridges over the "water"? if thats what it is, a sort of water around all buildings with bridges?

however, ditch the AO logo since its not an actual ingame thing, its just the symbole of the actual game, not omninized if we can call it, you should rather put in the omni symbole if you want some sort of symbole to it.

I like the new buildings, gives more of an sci-fi feeling to it than it's current buildings which are very lamely built up, and very simple aswell.

I like your style!

Bump for creative players that actually wants to make a change!

Now that 's proper city from the future. Good jobe, really like it.

[Zeephonz]

Doesn't look asian enough

[ElBoogy]

Well this looks good and i would be happy to get this ingame, or any other remake of rome, the actual one looks not so good (don´t wanna say it looks bad cause i like it in some strange way).

But when funcom said new engine, it was more or less clear, that all the buildings and cities will remain the same just with better graphics and new textures (although even this is just an outcome of the many delays and time they had ).

But nontheless it would be very cool if you could go to montreal and rework Rome for us

[Otansaanpas]

i like the current rome but its way too big and deserted.
3 different zones and every important place in a different one.

2 zones to get from daily mission agency to jobe whompah is annoying.

[jutlin]

Hey nice job, like the coliseum especially.

New Rome Red recreation area with woomphas , red neon lights to undeline the "red" in the area name , some 2 level areas with trees, down on the grass, some open space furniture will be added.

A little odd, but pretty decent for a work in progress ; looks like a kind of "tron" city mixed with antique statues, fits well to the subject here.

[Edta]

Some of it looks really nice and the things I don't like can probably mostly be blamed on "work in progress". The way you mix classic with sci-fi is nice: I like the statues, arches, arena, smooth reflecting surfaces, floating circles/steps and thin, colored lines. If you want feedback: I don't really like where this tint of blue is used for bigger surfaces. On the screeny of testbuilding03, the line also starts to bother me, because it's so nearby and becomes a "bigger surface". Maybe a glow can make it better in some cases, but not sure . Overall good work.

I do wonder though: even if they would want to incorporate this, would the format you have this stuff in, be compatible with their tools?

Note : This is made in 3ds Max btw with Vray renderer.


More Rome Red recreational area, since Rome Red is the most underused area in the whole city..

Hedges, white platform with glass center, some cubic outdoor furniture, and the woomphas in the middle, all covered in green.

And some more stuff from Rome Red, the amphitheatre for daily plays, speeches and troxes doing Chicago musical onstage.

Very cool stuff! on the red rome district, the side you focused on, is that with the grid and all that? or have you excluded the whom-pah completely?, would be nice to see a full scale look in cloud-view.

I'm assuming that grid side is this one: http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8...hiteathre1.jpg

and this one is whompah side: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/781...creationar.jpg

You can see the 3 gates for the whompah's there, they just look different.

[Otansaanpas]

too much reflective surfaces..
(or not enough miniskirts in game :P)

[DaChains]

The Grid is on the other side of the woomphas, therefore :
