mutu Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 You mean that if you take pictures from a car in different angle, and put them into the editor, you can make a vehicle model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutu Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 yesI don't think that's possible... if it was moding would be easy, and it's not. But you can use the photos as help when you create models, but you have to make by scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 * Hoppah grabs popcorn. Well, it's just a matter of taking pictures.The program automatically figures out what lines to followWe all all know this.We just try to make it seem harder.Sigh...

Hoppah Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ofcourse not. The editor is not a 10-in-1 program.It isn't really hard to find out that the editor is NOT used to make models and textures.The Emergency 4 editor is designed to mod EM4 only. Creating models and textures requires different software.In fact, most 3d-modelling software is far more expensive than Emergency 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thossi69 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 If all modelling would be that easy, we would probably have billions of mods out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Rasseru Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yeah, Alot of modelers also make the box shape engines first because its easier... Some of them just copy Models from other mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festival Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi guys, i thought i could contribute here (sorry for using an old thread!)There is a program that can help for this way of modelling called > Strata Foto 3D <Example Theoretically, if you guys had suffiecient photos of an object (vehicle in this case) then this program would really help e4 modellers with new vehicles. I guess MikesPhotos could help with that, i dont know.Hope this was useful to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would CS2 or any other software work?3. It said we would have to take a pictures of the object before hand. Most of us won't be able to take 360 pictures or all 6 sides four an huge thing like an fire engine. This would be hard.... right? 4. It said we should have a backdrop that's perfectly white or black. Honestly I think its too hard to light up a Engine with light that is perfect to 3D it?MikesPhotos might able to do this...? but I know he can't find every type of unit and go to it. Its an big department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an big department.1 - I presume you mean can you use Strata photo 3d on windows, the answer is yes it is also for windows, the video shows it on a mac, but that was just for sake of me posting a video to show what i meant and what the program did.2 - i think your referring to the photoshop plugin, you dont need to use the plugin, the program i used was older though, and you were able to save to a folder. so you can use cs2 but i dont know if the plugin would work. not really sure mate.3 - Yeah i agree its a problem unless you get a toy model replica fire engine? but getting the specific one you need is awkward and would mean spending money. Also that is why i mentioned mikesphotos, i cant seem to get on the site right now, comes up with page error so i havnt seen it, but from what i read on the forum he has quite a collection.4 - It doesnt need to be stagelit or anything, just a decent clear set of photos. The video shows them cut the figure they wanted out of the original picture and have a white background so i guess thats the easiest way to give it a white background. As long as the pictures clear (daytime, few shadows, focused etc) should be easy enough for the program to distinguish angles and edges etc. Does that help?Also, by the way, the new version of this is nearly $500 so as said in previous posts, software like this is expensive.

I do have toy model replica of Fire Engines and Police Cars...Stage lit.... I was talking about outdoors photos... That would screw up the whole 3D imaging it.Lastly this came to mind... How I can export these Models? I would think more people would make models this way if it was this easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think more people would make models this way if it was this easy?-i dont think an outdoor pic would be problematic mate, as long as you cut it out from the back ground(like in the vid) so it is the only thing there and as long as its not obstructed. for examplethis is probably okbut this wont be-it saves the models to .3ds so you can open it with max and export as whatever it is you need for zmodeller (i read what to do somewhere on here but cant recall, im sure you know) and the result is obviously editable in your desired program so can be tweaked if tehre was mistakes, but the bulk of the model would be done.However, the program needs several different angles of the subject, so getting those shots will, as you say, be awkward at best. But it was a suggestion for you guys of a way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festival Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 a foto to model program will sucks, do you now why?evryone goes make mods because it is TO easy, and the real modders , they are forgotten, I know what your saying and its a valid opinion, but modding takes more than just model making. So, in my view, if someone wants to make a mod but has no 3d skills then this will help them take a step towards realising their mod. Models made by this method will normally need some sort of tweaking anyway, as its a program with no real artistic intelligence or sense of wether the final result is correct or not, its just forming a model from data. It cant stop anyone from making a mod so therefore all youll get is more people who will make more mods, which is always good i think.Those that take the time to make the models themselves will always make better models than a program like this can do (if they are competent with 3d programs) and they will get recognised and praised for it.Some scripters, mappers and people with mod ideas either cant get to grips with 3d applications or they dont have any, so therefore this would help them in that respect. But thats my opinion, hope it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
