| - | On the page [[A Guide for Artists]] Corastin is currently working on tutorials to help motivated artists to understand Iris 2 with the eyes of a game designer and how to contribute to this fantastic project.

| - | = Static 3D-Tiles Specifications =
| + | |
| - |
| + | |
| - | '''3D-Tile:'''
| + | |
| - | * Walls/Windows/Stairs etc.: ~12-100 Triangles
| + | |
| - | * Statues: ~300-1500 Triangles
| + | |
| - | * Tables/Chests: ~100 Triangles
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''LOD creation rules:'''
| + | |
| - | Every object above 300 Triangles must have at least two LODs (LOD0 and LOD1) with LOD1 around 150 triangles.
| + | |
| - | reduce material IDs. more important than removing polygons is the reduction of material ids on your objects.
| + | |
| - | Ideally the last LOD has only one render material ID assigned.
| + | |
| - | The difference in polygons from one LOD to the next step should be around 50% (1200 - 600 - 300).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Textures:'''
| + | |
| - | * Size: ~512x512 (but can be any Size ... think of using one Texture for more than one 3D-Tile using UVM)
| + | |
| - | * Format: tga/dds/png
| + | |
| - | * 24-bit truecolor images with an 8-bit alpha channel
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Sample:'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Download: [http://sience.schattenkind.net/box_orientation.zip box_orientation.zip]<br>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * The Box is 1 Tile size.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Before you export to <i>ogre.mesh</i>, you have to apply:
| + | |
| - |
| + | |
| - | * 90° X rotation
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''NOTE:''' Some exporters, such as OgreMax, allow up-axis setting for exporting to mesh file.</i>
| + | |
| - |
| + | |
| - | * <b>Iris2 uses Z-Axis as "up".</b>
| + | |
| - | * <b>Ogre default is Y-Axis.</b>

| - | == What Static 3D-Tiles do we need? ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | This is the most important Tool for artists to verfiy what is needed and what is already available!
| + | |
| - | * [[Item Model List]] and [[Walls]]
| + | |
| - | * [http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/iris/irisarttool/ Iris2 Art Tool] which lists models and how often they occur Ingame.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Furthermore:'''
| + | |
| - | If you create a directory with the name missing next to the iris binary
| + | |
| - | (ie. c:\games\iris2\bin\missing )
| + | |
| - | and put "gDumpMissingModels = true" into you config.lua, iris will dump
| + | |
| - | every missing art as a png (TILEID.png) into the missing directory
| + | |
| - | during gameplay or offline mode.
