My 3D Progress

Thanks, Kanga I added textures:



As well as the 3D equivalent of a sketch of Ramiel, an Angel from Evangelion.

And so the graphics in the game can be as good as what your making now? If so, SWEET!

Ehhh, no This is a raytracing engine in Blender. It takes several hours to render even one frame Perhaps in a few years our computers will be able to handle real time ray tracing without melting.

Oh, cool. Any chance we can see what that kitchen would look like at game graphic level?

No, because I would have to remove all the materials for the Cycles render engine and make a whole new set of materials for the internal renderer. Sorry :-{

However, I do have the other side of the bar.

Gosh, look at those modern seats! You could be an interior designer.

real-time engines are very powerful, they just use other methods.

Take these scenes I rendered myself out of a real-time rendering program...



The main limitation of Real-time (WYSIWYG) rendering is that your poly count is generally less than a few hundred thousand or so, although I've pushed this particular engine higher once or twice, with very low render speed (only a few frames a second).

With the right poly reduction, your kitchen would run perfectly fine without any real reduction in quality (many people over-estimate the value of polygons), and probably only a few thousand polys, even with all the curves.

The only really resource-intensive part of the kitchen is the stool setup. If I removed those I'd be under five thousand polys. I actually fooled around with it in the UDK when I was trying to figure out scale and such.

Here's a low poly minotaur I am working on.
