Building Log : Belleville Tower

[Billy_bob55 8]

Thanks, that helped a lot!

and take a look at this now :



how can i prevent this? can i ad a texture face by face? if yes how? and why does it stretch that way? i cannot manage to make it repeat the same texture in smaller ones so it doesn't stretch...

and the uvw mapping, is that equivalent to xyz guizmos?

thanks for all the help people!

you can try mirroring them, just go to the map and you will see 4 checkboxes, instead of tiles click mirror and set the mirror angle and stretching. or if makes it easier for you, make a larger image with the same size of the object you are texturing.

[Billy_bob55 8]

problem solved. thanks to everyone who helped.

[jtportland 184]

if you need help texturing go here

i think what you're missing, is that u need to click that blue and white checkered box. if this is infact your problem?

[dudyconstructor 40]

i see you are getting the work done cant wait to see this in STEX

[Billy_bob55 8]

ok i'm getting the hand with texturing and it's really exciting! the look of the building is nice, but because of some human errors (i forgot to name some parts so it's long to select) it will still be a bit longer. i know that you would all like a picture but that would be like unveiling a present before time

update soon! (not release, though)

[dudyconstructor 40]

well thats good to hear the building is comming off well! i hope to see a screenshot soon.

[Billy_bob55 8]

UPDATE!

before all i want to say that i'm really happy the way it is turning, but i am UNSATISFIED about the textures. this is the best i have found, and i need something better.

'see bigger image on next post'

as you can see, only the front face is 'complete'.. it will change in some time when i find a perfect texture.
i like the reflect in the windows... and the reversed conic shape in the middle will be a great subject for night lightning, let me know what you think about it. critism is a good way to learn.
thanks

here it is

tell me what you think

I like the way the building is turing out. It looks so much better with textures. I always have to play around with textures a lot until I get something that looks just right. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for in terms of textures? I have quite a few so maybe I could post a few if I knew what you were looking for.

[Billy_bob55 8]

the textures i'd like, that will be like a christmas present
some dark stones or some dark steel, for the columns

thanks a lot, and once i will have applied them, i will show it on here and you'll tell me what you think. thanks

[panthersimcity4 162]

I need that..... lol

It's too awesome to beleive!

It'll go perfect in my city

[Billy_bob55 8]

textures update!

take a look on this :



to much stone i think, but much better than the other one..i just did the facade so the paler things around were not modified.

getting better and better

[Simbourgeois 139]

Although you wrote that you like the last version better, I prefer the previous one. It now looks a bit too dark for my eyes.

But otherwise - well done

It looks like your tower is almost finished... Good news coz it looks great! Good luck for what's left to do (I hope only a few stuff !).

[Billy_bob55 8]

update

i have texturised the facade with something between, and i like it



i have started doing stuff on the roof, but it's still on the draft, nothing true yet, but it's coming

[dudyconstructor 40]

nice job! looks awesome!

[rustawilliams 0]

Thats a great tower, a definite must for my city. Canmt wairt till the release date, I have to say I like the textures the way they were two updates ago.

Nice work,

rusta

[mcarch 15]

Looking Good!

[DuskTrooper 314]

This building is turning out nicely! Keep up the good work!

[Billy_bob55 8]

hey i need some ideas for the roof; i tried a helipad, but it's to large for my building (it will be able to stand on a 2x2 tile i think)

i was thinking of some vent stuff, but i'm not sure.. i looked on the exchange and i think that some buildings look flat, because of the lack of details on the roof, and i am perfectionnist, and i want my building to look perfect to my eyes, and to the eyes of others.

so please give me your ideas, it's your chance to leave your mark on my building

[SpartanBadger 4]

Roof junk. Thats all you need, it makes any building look better. Great job so far

[Billy_bob55 8]

ok i adjusted my screen brightness (cut it half) and i noticed that the front texture was to dark. so i played with it again and here's the result


i like the shiny look, but maybe it's to much fot the base...we'll see.

njoy

[panthersimcity4 162]

I love it! I NEED THIS for my CJ lol....

 good job!

[outdoorsman03 0]

the building is looking great with the new textures. For the roof I would go with some AC units or fans. Keep it up

[Billy_bob55 8]

this is no update except that i was playing a lot with the textures and i guess some of you would be interrested in the result. so here's a few of them : [all images are hosted on image shack]


i think i have to write something between the pictures


i think ihave to do it again lol


i personally prefer the *HOLY **** i tried to save and it was written impossible to write memory... press ok to close the program* damn it...
as i was saying, i personally prefer the 3rd one, but tell me what you like and dont like about these

bb

[timo 15]

Please don't choose the pink one!

I agree with you the 3rd one is better! I think a light blue texture for your windows would look cool...

 

Come on release it!

[Conceptual 2]

Nice tower, Great detail, As for the window texture, I would choose the 3rd once, or try a natural blue.

[Billy_bob55 8]

i felt like posting somethin'



'njoy

[DuskTrooper 314]

Nice. VERY Nice. I like the detailing!
