#1 Oh man, it looks like you have a LOT of UV mapping to do!

#2 Thats alot of models.. Good luck.

#3 Well, you can pay through the nose for a texture artist (since it is a HUGE amount of work) or you can team with someone (often hiring them) or your artist can read the sections on UV mapping for their modeling software.

#4 This is so not a way to build a city :)
Definitely the buildings were mostly done by cloning, so why not to apply UVWs before cloning?

#5 Well he could always unwrap one, then clone them over the place of the current ones.. delete those..

No big deal - just a 'bass ackwards' way of doing things

#6 Hi Dan,

I could say that before making something, project plans - sketches must be approved by project leader prior doing a huge work like this.

I'm assuming that these objects will be in DIF right? Here are some of my recommendations in which fairly similar to 3DRT and Jonathan Rush;
1) Create few basic objects; 2 bridges, 4 town houses, 1 lamp, and 2 towers UV mapped and textured
2) use only these objects (Duplicate/cloning) in the scene, you can end up with some combination or nice layout.

This way you can save yourself from unwrapping 50+ objects. We had a big project like this and we created 8-10 buildings, 5 houses, a bridge, and various textures with same UV layout. We were able to fill up a big city (50 something buildings) in less than a week.

#9 Yeah, if you haven't applied any sort of texture yet, I would just take one of each thing, and make them individual dif files. Just put the copies where they would be on the big DIF
