NYBT Hattan House

Here's what the variation could look like. The red model is the color of the real life building, the other three are the same textures used on the Worthington Apartments, all they may need is a hue and or brightness change. What do you think?

NYBT 915 West End Avenue

Here's another update I think it's getting close to being finished, I still need to work on the roof, brick and glass textures and add night lights and ac units in the windows. After that I can do variations.

[gn_leugim]

wonderfull but ain't the roof ground texture too clean and uniform?

[Jack_wilds]

       

[Girafe]

Looks good but the roof texture (seems to be gravel is strangeand could be better IMHO)

The rest is nice 

[Aaron Graham]

Jack_wilds- Thank you!!!!! :thumbu

Girafe& gn_leugim- Thank you, but remember I did said the textures need some work in the post. I am a king at making a roof texture, it will not look that easy.

NYBT 915 West End Avenue

Still more work to do, I may need to tweek the main brick textures a bit, there are the same textures from the Worthington Apartments. Right now I'm still working on the inputs of the ac units in the windows. I hope I can finish that fast but remember I will have to add the night lights and ac units three more times for the variation of the building. To much for a regular batter, but i'm not a regular.





Here's a look what the variations could look like, there are using the same texture as the Worthington Apartments, but I can change them a bit. I have notice that it getting to the time I will be using the same bricks over and over again, there is but so many things you can do with the same brick colors.



Here's the texture and the template for the 915 West End Avenue, I have been using uwv unwrapping for my roofs sense the Franklin Apartments.

If you place the template over the texture and filter it in a way the green lines only show you will see how I have the areas near the wall darken. Mybe you guys can come of with another variations for the roof, I do like the idea of a white looking roof. If you was to paste it over and over on the dark roof texture it can be a white look roof.

The door you see in the upper right hand corner is the roof access buildings doors and the basement doors. All the doors use that same texture, if you wanted to add another door you can place it next to the one I have in the image and make it the same size.
