Title: Elk River Lodge
Post by: D66 on August 29, 2013, 10:52:58 AM
This is my next project. I think I'm done with the model but haven't textured it yet. All comments and suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated  ;D

That barn looking roof gives it a neat flair.   &apls

what about some small single cabins?  Combined with your new lodges, we could create our own mountain retreat  :thumbsup:

Thank you and great idea. I do believe I made some small cabins 7 yrs ago but could make smaller ones too :) Not sure which prop pack they are in though :(

It's good. I think you are fine with the colors.  Just an IG shot will confirm that.

It looks great!  :thumbsup:

Though as a general suggestion: ditch the trees. Nowadays many players prefer to 'paint' scenery with seasonal mmps. Especially around lodges like yours which I'd imagine would be surrounded with nature, the evergreen trees would be somewhat of an eyesore during autumn and winter.

Other than that I'm happy to see you back again!  :)

Great!  The textures look wonderful.  I also agree with vortext about the trees - I would leave them out, or perhaps do a second version without the trees in order to give the player more flexibility.

I have removed all trees except for the one up front :) Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I will be rendering it soon and sending over to Barby for lotting :)

Mmmm, I think the reds in the wood texture(s) are a bit emphasized. Did you apply the colour correction process described in gascooker's tutorial? If not, send me the texture (I can change it in minutes and send it back to you), just to see the difference.

The log siding or the deck texture?  No I haven't used the tutorial because I don't have PS and wouldn't know how to even if I did  :(

Looks great! My only comment was to leave the trees out to be added later in LE, but it sounds like you did that already.  ;D
