Looks quite neat! You should try doing a two toned glass scheme on this one.(maybe two shades of blue, or something).

    Wow, so many responses it'll take ages to answer everyones reply!!!!30.gif

    I actually restarted, and this one is sorta better, except for the roof.. A bit of a dillema there.

    After roof crap.

    See? Crap.


    edit: I also figured out how to browse the internet in the material navigator (promply browing for... cookies.41.gif) not only can you apply skins from the internet, you can also get distracted!

    This is probably as far on this as I'll go. Still not sure what it'll be used for. I have a toss up between three buildings (the Humanites Hall in Eau Claire, Hewitt Hall in Normal, and those pinty aparmtent things in Nova Gorica) not sure which will come after this.

    Whether any of this is released or not depends on my mood at the time.48.gif

    Really? I consider it to be my best example of 1960's UK Brutalist/Internationalist badass crap!

    (It's also my only example, so shut up16.gif)

    It's really good, that last one. Btw, what would anybody have commented earlier? *puts finger in mouth* Um... err... I guess it's a box. Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.

    Those yellow windows look great, but do as Dusky said and try to apply some varied window texture, not just endless repetitions of the exact same colour all over. Then add a decent roof texture (check out that thread by 6459978 which I mentioned on page 1 and which you seem to have ignored so far, you naughty cat). Finally, release or send to me if you don't wanna mess around with modding or lot making yourself. Done. Hometown parade, there you come. 3.gif

    You're definitely on the right way, each building you show is better than its predecessor...

    I will, I have about 4 variations of that window texture, I just wanted to get a general idea. If I can un-fudge (hehe, I almost sweared43.gif) the roof there (DT tried to explain meshes, now it's all pickled-up) so if I can fix that, I'll check out that thread and fix up the roof (I did look at it but it was so long ago I forgot 3.gif)

    Speaking of the roof texture, the roof isn't textured; that's a glitch.3.gif

    This is an update 4 hours in the making!

    Imageshack is buggered up, so I used my photobucket account.

    blueandgold.png alt=Image hosted by Phot

    You're gonna get both!9.gif

    roofjunk.png alt=Image hosted by Photobu

    If anyone can help with the roof textureing, that'd be great!

    I really really really like how the windows turned out!!

    As for nightlighting, the bottom is a concrete base thing, the enterance is in there (I really, really HATE making doors) so you've got that thing down there. It wont be bare though, with the help of [decent batter that knows stuff about lighting] it will have spot lights! It'll be lit up, I might even add some other things down there. It depends, Im gonna need help, I'm not good at anything that isnt a right angle.46.gif

    The blue one will be office space, probably just growable, its not important enough to be ploppable. (I can make a ploppable available come modding time though, we'll see)

    I'm going to work on making a new Univeristy for the game, it anyone wants to contribute PM me. I have plans lined up for a couple dorms, and a lecture hall, and am on the lookout for new buildings to add, BUT they'll all be in the international style, so if you can build nicer things, and want to have a buildings let me know. I also want to make a set of tunnels and paths, etc. To complete the whole set. I'm very optimistic! Maybe we'll even finish it!!48.gif

    So, if you wanna help (pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase) PM me, and we can talk.

    I'll have more maybe tomorrow or saturday, depending on when I BAT. I wanna get all of the textures done before I start lights.

    Umm... what else did I wanna say... can't remember. If I do Ill add it in.

    @I-275: Additional generic compliment!!

    pinko8zc.png

    That was my desperate attempt to stay awake for another 8 hours yesterday morning. It didn't work.

    I think I might call it GayCo Insurance. Appropriate colours, no?3.gif

    The game is severly lacking in pink buildings!18.gif

    BTW- It'll have a base thingy, and a top part, prolly about 20 storeys or so, I would make it as is, but I forgot a door hole!6.gif

    Um, and if you havent, read my other post, above the one above this. Thnx.
