  1. Thanks Mr_Maison, Is it possible to have a tutorial for theses steps in Blender for making the building ready for the game ? Sketchup looks accessible. I'm looking to create models for the game, i,m new to 3ds modeling. Here's a good tutorial for Blender preparation The most important thing to remember about modeling in Sketchup is to keep your models simple and make sure your front faces are always facing outward. Flipped faces "normals facing the wrong way" is one of the most common mistakes made using Sketchup which causes problems later in the pipeline. (the darker blue side is the back face btw) The 3D warehouse have many many models with this issue so avoid using models from there unless you're willing to clean them up. I have to investigate about the poly count. I imagine if we keep in mind that we are modeling for a game and not ArchViz, and keep the geometry simple, we can control the poly count. Do as much aesthetic work with the textures and materials as possible. I see a lot of Sketchup users making some nice buildings lately. Not sure what their export processes are though. Here's one example by a user on reddit https://imgur.com/a/L73UK reddit comments http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/2za2gi/this_game_needs_more_skyscrapers_i_imported_3/ So yeah I would agree that Sketchup may require some more post work but it's one of the easiest and fastest modeling programs to work with. That said, I would invest some time to learn Blender too but it have a much steeper learning curve. Thanks for the generous infos, i downloaded Blender and found a very good tutorial about it, in my mother tongue (French). Since i can do all do all the steps with the same program, i'd rather stick with it. My goal is to create farm buildings and assets of all kind, all about farming and agriculture.
