Title: World2XPlane model library.
Post by: Levi on September 02, 2014, 10:12:47 am
Hello all!

With permission from tonywob (http://forum.avsim.net/user/261893-tonywob/), i'm porting the model library from World2XPlane (http://www.world2xplane.com/) into Outerra. :)
This morning I started the conversion, and I was able to successfully port 900 models already!
GitHub repository: world-models-outerra (https://github.com/tonywob/world-models-outerra)

Download All (https://mega.nz/#!g1l3HZpb!Yu3Mo9ECNaz-3CaqO3qvuDE-821MGNl7OdSqWf7shyc)

900!!?? How the frack did you do that?

Uhmmm..... good job!

Outerra is probably going to need some sort of preview object screen eventually, so we aren't just clicking at a name to see what appears.  ;D


I'll go ahead and post this at Avsim as well though I'm starting to feel like all the posts are mine!

Levi, do you really live in our spacetime realm? 

Just wow, I was expecting that you will start working on this library at some point but 900 in a row ! ;D. I will be back at work on my scenes in one week, this is gonna be good!
Awesome work mate, and thanks to tonywob for sharing this with us !

I notice that a few of the models lack foundations, so they don't sit in the ground, but float.
As a general rule, I've always added deep foundations, 2 meters, to ensure the object sits well.

Some of the models don't and some do. There are several authors and contributors. Most of the non-generic ones should have foundations (At least all the ones I added, and Blacky75 added do). Some others are donated from other projects and don't include foundations. The Uwespeed buildings (which have been converted here) were donated by a user Uwespeed and were generated by a program I believe.

Couple of things worth noting, firstly a large portion of the buildings all share the same texture sheets, and secondly they are low resolution and low-poly as they are for a flight simulator (X-Plane). They will not look too good close up, but they have been designed this way.

The full library also contains higher quality regional buildings for different countries such as the UK, Germany, Poland, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The UK library is currently the biggest and the library continues to grow

I think that the conversion would have been quicker if I had the original scene files instead of XPlane .obj file format. With the .obj files, I have to pass them trough:
But I don't think it's possible to have the scene files because it seem that some are exported from SketchUp, some with Blender 2.49, others with Blender 2.70, and of course, many are from different authors... So I guess I'll keep doing it this way, right? :D
Title: Re: World2XPlane model library.
Post by: tonywob on September 03, 2014, 06:34:33 am
Unfortunately many of the original Blender or Sketchup models weren't checked in to github for size, etc..

However, you can import the models straight into Sketchup and then export them to 3DS skipping the Blender part. I've done this on some occasions when I've wanted to reuse or resize a model. The plugin for Blender still can't import the models which is a bit of a pain.

Is there a specification for the 3D format for Outerra, maybe we can just automate the lot in one go using the same texture sheets?

Title: Re: World2XPlane model library.
Post by: HiFlyer on September 03, 2014, 06:36:49 am
It occurs that if very many are using the same texture sheets, that would make it a lot less difficult if someone decided to replace those textures with something higher resolution.......?

The Uwespeed ones all use one or two texture sheets and were autogenerated by a program. They are intended as completely generic buildings of various sizes not covered by the higher quality regional models. Those particular textures could easily be improved, however the models are very simple, basically 4 walls and a roof. Uwe had created the German textures with a goal of simply replacing the texture sheet with something like an Italian one without rebuilding all the models again.

The UK/PL/DE/CH regional buildings all have more detail, but the majority are simplified shapes (some have chimneys, garages, entrance areas). Remembering of course, that in X-Plane you can have thousands of these objects in small areas, so keeping the triangle and texture size down was incredibly important. I'm sure the same still stands for Outerra. Once such buildings are placed from something like OSM data, as they are with World2XPlane, then I'd imagine performance will become an issue.

The Blacky75 models (and there are hundreds of them) were all created by hand in Sketchup and share a few texture sheets. The buildings are again generic European and mostly simple squares with a roof and Chimney. These textures can also be improved, changed and regionalised.

I believe it's important for people to know that the building library was made for flight simulation, and the buildings aren't meant to be seen close up, but from 100ft+ above plus.

Understood. But they will still have to be redone when night lighting becomes available, and Outerra comes up with whatever its equivalent of LIT will be.

SketchUp would slow down the process a lot! I've tested it and the UV's got messed up, duplicated polygons, and some models needs .png texture files instead .DDS. Also, when I import from a region/folder like 'uwespeed', all the models have to be imported in the same scene, something that SketchUp complicates the thing a lot!
The importer for Blender 2.49 works pretty well for now ;)

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean, but the models from 'uwespeed' are all using only 3 textures.
Also you may have already noticed that there are a .mtl file for each model created by the Outerra's importer. That's not needed, i'll reduce those to max 3 .mtl files, or even one if it will work(this process will be automated) ;)

I don't know enough about the Outerra format, but what I mean is writing a script that will run through all the X-Plane .obj files, parse them and then output the format needed by Outerra. If there are some file specifications for the format then I can have a look and see if it's possible. I also think such a script would just be useful on its own also for converting airport buildings from other projects  :)

Ah ok.
Outerra actually imports two types of file format: Collada and FBX.

For this conversion I'm using Collada importer (and exported with OpenCollada from Max 2015) because each separate mesh/object needs to be a single entity when imported into Outerra. That's very important!

If it would be possible to create a script, I think that converting from XPlane .obj to .FBX, .DAE or similar, so 3ds Max can correctly import them, would be enough. The process from 3ds Max to Outerra is done in just a couple of seconds.

Each XPlane .obj file would need to be a single object in Max. Or, let's say that if a building is made from several meshes, those will need to be parented to a single object. This way Outerra will recognize it as one entity.

I hope this poor explanation is understandable... :-\
Title: Re: World2XPlane model library.
Post by: tonywob on September 03, 2014, 07:45:34 am
Thanks for the information.

I don't think this in a issue. All the buildings (at least those I've done) are all single meshes. If you open up a typical .obj file, you'll see at the bottom the triangle commands. If there is only one, then it's a single mesh. The only time I've seen multiple meshes used in the world-models library is when defining LODs. The Blender exporter has done a very good job of producing efficient single mesh objects.

If I get time over the weekend, I'll have a look at writing a converter to DAE (Or maybe there already is one). DAE seems a fairly straight forward format. Also, all X-Plane objects only use a single texture (Apart from the night texture as well), so it should be fairly easy.

Yes, most of the buildings(if not all) are single mesh, but for some buildings, it seems that the importer(both Blender and SketchUp) splits the models into several meshes...
Also, I've seen some houses with trees. As the trees are using an alpha texture, those will have to be separate/individual meshes.

No, in X-Plane you either say the object is hard or not, there isn't a collision mesh.

The model should have a collision mesh possibility like the four LODs ... doe, it isnt working yet. I think it will come whyte some broader importer updates. But it would be nice to make some ramp-area objects  to test suspensions ...  :)

Have a look at my project for X-Plane 10 (http://www.world2xplane.com (http://www.world2xplane.com)). It does quite a good job of placing the correct types of buildings using whatever data is available in X-Plane. I fully intend to create a version of this for Outerra, at least initially for placing roads and buildings automatically using the same algorithms as World2XPlane. Outerra has such huge potential and is gaining a large amount of interest from simmers, that it's worth doing

 ... well, using the same/similar algorithms just whyte different sets of building models spread trough some additional layer, like the biome one is. I am sure Cameni will create such a layer even for the city generator later on anyway.

What sees I here Low-Polys of model are not the OT engine sometimes the water reach. What I wanted to say with it this if one a Masarati the engine from a LADA in it makes.
It does not fit everything anyhow(IMHO).Maybe one can improve all that still with better textures? ::)

Sh***...

He talked about the difficulty he had to find help for the project. I can totally understand that reaction if many were asking for tech support, and not even a "thank you". AND THE WHOLE THING WAS FREE.

Quote
One person sent me a $1 donation and asked me to do a Skype training session on using the app and installing scenery, when I refused because of lack of time, he demanded his $1 back.
What the hell...  :facepalm:

If I had Xplane I would have loved to work with him on scenery creation, he's such a nice guy...

I've made a small backup .otx of the models imported to Outerra I have, here (http://www.mediafire.com/download/kpiad004szj2itl/W2Xplane_backup%28uncomplete%29.otx), but it's not everything Levi imported. I'll still ask Tony if he's ok with that.

A great lesson to learn here:

"people do not want to work together but want recognition for theirselves".

Team work... team work... team work...  Is the only way to achieve goals in any project, specially in huge ones like this.

On my side, I put at your disposal the small amount of knowledge I have on 3D modeling... Ask me any thing you want and I'll do my best to give you and answer or, if I have not time (wich is very common), at least I'll try to lead you in the right direction: "go to this page and read this tutorial".
