    Las Vegas The Strip

    Emergency on the Strip! This is the new Ksmic project for Ubisoft’s Farcry3. Las Vegas The Strip.
    A fire has started in a conference room of a well-known Las Vegas resort (The Aladdin) And emergency services have locked the area around the hotel down due to the presence of important US government officials that were holding a conference at that moment.

    Good stuff here its not easy from the shortage of items with good draw distances. thats what makes the strip so cool is those massive casinos that can be seen for miles. I remember walking from treasure island to the stratosphere thinking ill get there soon, but it took like 2 hours, next time i just took a cab. It was august and still to this day i havent seen a water fountain on the strip. Great work ksmik.

    Casino’s in the distance.

    One of the cool things about the great American cities is the fact that everything is so huge. Because of the vastness of the continent and the relative young cities. Unlike in Europe where cities are bound to the old historical centres and confined spaces.

    FC3 Las Vegas The Strip.

    Creating a Las Vegas Strip for FarCry3 is was decided after discovering a way of depicting believable casino’s from up close, but also from a distance. The limitations of the computer hardware mean some of the objects fade away in the distance to save processing power but fortunately there is a solution in this editor


    In the lights section of objects is a light called “tripod 02″ which is the only light that is visible from 5 Grids away. It can be used to light up buildings from a great distance. On the Las Vegas map. All 19 Lights are used for the resorts in the background. And none in the playable area. Getting perspectives right on that is equally important. I have some experience with making things look reasonable from a distance.

    The owner of this vehicle may have something to do with the fire...
