Nick13 BATs

[harishna 847]

everybody is so crazy about roof junk, I will be more worried about having the main model finished first and leave the roof junk to the end, and as SimHoTToDDy said the textures need some tweaking

But for a first I think is pretty good, what I like the most is that you are taking the time to listen and learning from it

SimHoTToDDy and harishna are right. I want quality to be the main thing in my creations. I might get back to the roof junk by the end of the week, if every is satisfied with the model and texturing. Taking advice is my favorite part, It doesn't really matter to me if its a compliment or not as long as people like it. Oh and I wont start on the Starbucks anytime soon, I was just getting prepared and all. I will start on that after the KFC is uploaded

I did more texture editing today

- I changed the reflective on the red wall out front

- I changed the wall texture. went a little less white and changed it to rough concrete instead of wall paint

- I textured and made the back door less wide

- I darkened the roof texture. I know its to much that's why I need help with it. If someone can tell me how to modify it by making it lighter like a light grey without loosing the brushstroke looking pattern It would really keep things moving. Btw im using the polished concrete texture from the arch and design.

If you have anything to say please tell me, comment, question, advice, anything. Feel free

looks good.

This is really turning out nice. I plan on using this all over my East Coast city. I'd like to thank you. Now I will have an old KFC, an old but not uncommon KFC, and now a modern one. This is nice, thanks.

Try to use photofiltre, it's a program that you can modefy photos with it.

I think that the roof texture is too dark.

I have a good texture for white walls, if you're going to make white BATs.

It will look something like this:

or this:

I was just showing you how it looks on a BAT in the preview.

[nick13 194]

Well I lightened it a little bit by making the noise completely white.

Im going to try the method IL pointed out. Thanks for the texture i'll keep that in mind if I ever do a white building

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Rather than using a bitmap, you could probably get away with using a simple noise map on a nice fresh arch&design material for a few of your textures. Set the colors to whatever you need, play with the reflectivity/glossiness/roughness/etc and you should be in good shape.

I'm a dirt and grime kinda guy, but this is a building that would do well with clean, sharp materials.

[nick13 194]

Most of the textures you see on the KFC are made with the arch and design tool.

Better?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Loos great, I like the roof change.

[Kifflom112 355]

I agree, it a nice change. I look forward to this building too.

[nick13 194]

If no one has anything else to say about the texture or the model i'll start on roof junk

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Nice work, I love It, and will be downloading its ready for roof junk

[gutterclub 2,729]

Do you have glass in the right side windows because it doesn't look like it, what you want is a glass between reflective glass and some transparancy so you can see what is inside, remember from the games angle the glass would be a lot more reflective and would show a bit less of the inside...which would them come to life once lit at night..

Perfect example would be Jason's library he did a while back for BSP. Check it out

[Kifflom112 355]

I'd say texture some of the white arch below the KFC symbal. But roof junk sounds like what it needs.

[nick13 194]

Did a little more texture work and added basic vents but they are not finished. I'm not sure what shapes to use to make the little turbines. Any help is much appreciated

[Kifflom112 355]

Nice roof junk details.

[nick13 194]

Yeah most of the vents on fast food places I see on google maps are like that cream/brown color I tried to copy that

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Your Roof junk is looking good.

[harishna 847]

for the ac units there is no need to actually model the holes you can also add some extractors for the kitchen area

[nick13 194]

for the ac units there is no need to actually model the holes you can also add some extractors for the kitchen area

Should I add vents/filters in front of the ac units?

[nick13 194]

Roof junk update!

[Kifflom112 355]

The roof junk looks good. But I have to say, maybe add some holes? Maybe just look at google or bing maps and look at KFC roofs. I'm pretty sure restaurants have some holes in their roof junk.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Yes, Zulu2065 is right, keep it up just look a the roof junk on buildings more closely. I have a question is that grey roof junk a mental roof junk if so you need to use a better material I think, what are you using to make that texture and any way?? Keep it up.

[nick13 194]

Another update I really want to upload this by the time school starts on the first but i'm not sure that's going to happen

[Kifflom112 355]

Amazing roof details.

[nick13 194]

I think i'm done with roof junk. Night lights time?

[Subbub 15]

Looks AMAZING! If this is how good your KFC looks like, i cant wait to see the starbucks!

I would choose the first one as it looks more "funky" and theres less models like that on the web.

[Kifflom112 355]

Roof junk is amazing, just a few polish tweaks and maybe add some dark splotches on the roof, it may need to be a little bit darker. I'd love to see the nightlighting.

[nick13 194]

Added some neon lights but i'm not sure how to light the inside. can I get some help please?
