Della Salute of Venice

Description
The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute was begun in 1631 in response to the black death that swept through Venice in the 1600s. Guarding the entrance to the Grand Canal, and overlooking the Piazza San Marco, this ornate baroque masterpiece resembles a beautiful wedding cake.
A fine addition to any serene city on the water.

You'd be surprised how often this happens, apology accepted. We'll see how the next few buildings go.

also i want to apologize for my behaviour. It was wrong to try to force my ideals onto your creation method. If you still want some advice or in the near future you can always contact me. I guess i was the one with the big ego, not you.

Wow. That's actually pretty smart. Kudo's :possession:

imported from 3ds max after being stripped to the bone. I culled virtually all inward facing surfaces and deleted geometry off the smaller lanterns, as well as optimizing the domes and statues. I'm amazed the main building comes in under 50k. The triangle count will probably climb 20k if I revisit the model (most of that would go on the main dome). Since Venice is a small, mostly low-rise city, the bulk occupying no more than 4 tiles, and the building is unique, a one-off detailed landmark is acceptable, I certainly don't recommend it if you're building New York on 81 tiles :-). The maximum is 65,536 vertices, and we come in at around half that. I aimed to keep the model below 100k tris.

(Or at all, since the Tris is so high for the size - The ‘Weight’ of the model is far too high)

My rig can handle the model, it’s just really badly optimised. I would not recommend using this for big cities.

Hmmm shaving of 150k to 70k. Impressive. Did you import it from Sketchfab and optimized it for the game? If socI would really like to know how you did it!

The rialto bridge is coming along, that will be far lighter on the hardware.

The original model crept over 150,000 tris, I managed to cut 70k out with some loss of detail on the rear dome and bell towers, but further economies would be destructive. Save your pennies for some good hardware. It's running just fine on my 4 year old rog laptop, I definitely recommend one.
