Novi most :: Thunder's Bridge

This is one of the recent bridges in Sisak. Model is quite detailed, although I decided not to add to complexity of the model by adding streetlights. Bridge dates from 1970-ies. In 2011 it was re-dedicated to "The Thunders" brigade that played major role in the Croatian war of independence. Some of the textures are simplified, and since it's steel-concrete construction I used mostly default materials.

Jedan od novijih mostova u Sisku. Model je prilično detaljan, iako sam izostavio rasvjetu da ne bude prekompleksan. Most je sagrađen početkom 1970-ih, kao most "Bratstva i jedinstva". 2011 je posvećen gardijskoj brigadi "Gromovi" koji su na ovom području odigrali važnu ulogu u Domovinskom ratu. Neke teksture su pojednostavljene pošto je most većinom betonsko-čelične konstrukcije pa sam uzeo materijale iz Sketchup-a

My 250th model :: Moj 250-i model

Celebrating 250-th model accepted in Google Earth! It's been a long but fun ride. I was seasoned modeler when I started and still I learned so much. I'd have much more models if I did simple textured cubes, but I went for realism, optimised for web, naturally, and never regreted it! To celebrate I made long-planned model of suspension bridge in Martinska Ves. unlike other models I relied on textures as little as possible, and re-created suspension beams as closely as possible.

Slavim 250-i model prihvaćen u Google Earth! Put je bio dug, ali zabavan. Već sam bio iskusan modelar kad sam počeo, pa ipak sam puno naučio. Modela bi bilo i više da sam radio jednostavne teksturirane kutije, ali cilj je bio napraviti realističan model, naravno, optimiziran za web i nikad nisam požalio. Da proslavim, napravio sam model visećeg mosta u Martinskoj Vesi. Za razliku od drugih modela teksture su osnovne samo i nastojao sam napraviti strukturu ovjesa što je bliže moguće.

Željeznički most :: Railroad bridge

Najzad i željeznički most preko Kupe kod sisačke rafinerije i groblja. ovaj model sam dugo želio napraviti i imam dosta slika mosta. Osnovnu strukturu sam podigao sa terena preuzetog s Google Maps karte, poradio na  prilazima, zatim oblikovao temelje mosta i na kraju sami most. Potporna mreža je napravljena od prozirnih tekstura napravljenih prema fotografijama, kao i baza mosta - pješačke staze i sama pruga. Teksture temelja su naravno prave, snimljene tijekom ljeta kad sam radio panorame mosta. Dobar pokazatelj preciznosti je to da se struktura bočnih strana savršeno poklopila s vanjskim konturama mosta po broju spojeva. Ovo mi je sada jedan od najdražih modela. Posebnu pažnju sam posvetio tunelu za pješake koji vodi prema Starom gradu.

Finally the railroad bridge over the Kupa at Sisak refinery and cemetary This model I have long wanted to do and I have plenty of pictures of the bridge. I have built the basic structure  from the ground taken from Google Maps and elevated, than i shaped terrain, foundations and the bridge itself. The support structure is made ​​of transparent textures created from photos, as well as the base of the bridge, walkways and tracks itself. The textures are based on the photos taken during the summer when I shot panorama of the bridge. A good indicator of accuracy is that the structure of the sides perfectly coincides with the outer contours of the bridge in the number of compounds. This to me is now one of my favorite models. I have devoted special attention to the pedestrian tunnel leading to the Old Town.
