Building Simple Models

  • Tools include Cosmo Worlds, IDS Vrealm Builder, Alias/Wavefront, Nichimen, 3D Studio Max, and Home Space Designer.
  • Plunder and Decimate--Find a usable model and customize it. (Respect permissions and rights though)
  • Two ways of building-
  • Start thinking "simple and efficient" from the beginning.
  • And/Or polygon reduction on existing models.
    • The former will become more useful than the latter in time--You can create a new style by learning what the medium does best, rather than working with things made in tools that might not be appropriate.
