the vernacular trend

[jmyers2043]

i like how it turned out.

So do I. A lot of architectural interest. I like smaller buildings and this is a good start.

fantastic work.... great start and welcome to the fold...

the hotel is making progress slowly. most of the modelling is complete. i had a look at other bats and decided to scale it upwards more. i actually at times had a 30cm ruler held up at the screen    


here is something else: what i achieved in a matter of 15 minutes using streetview for textures.

THis is looking fine, great work

that's really great

Great work on the diagonal canals  ...FAR canals would be awesome!!! The W2W buildings look great! The bank almost could double as a car dealership (imo). Keep the pics coming!

Wow, how did this topic slip past me? Some fantastic work here. I love what you do with the textures

[Fatsuhono]

Beautiful new BATs my friend! Great roof texture, love the Aussie-style (?)...

Some of you may know what the begginings of this is. Waverley Station, Edinburgh

[art128]

What's that ? an airport ? XD
very nice start 
looking forward to more 

[superhands]

well I guess I should make it be known that this is a train station. (hint: it was written in white in the first post )

it's Waverley Station, Edinburgh.
don't ask me why i took this on
ideally i hope to get some transparency through the roof so that you can see some amount of activity.
we will see how this goes for polys along with detailing.
atm it's measuring in around 6 by 22 sc4 tiles.
having a quick look at the main entrance, i think i forgot to scale it up.
i just really wanted to show of the the road

one question to the experts, is it possible to use face extrude rather than extrude and place a material on it?

Yes. But, when you apply your texture/material, hit modifiers > UV coordinates > UVW map, and choose planar, box, cylindrical, etc... to make the material appear.

thanks fatsuhono for the info. i must of written that late at night so simple.

did some work on the textures.  : still a lot of modeling to do.
some how every time I make a small addition I tend to spend double the time looking at it

[Fatsuhono]

The textures on the roof look really realistic now. The roads are great as well. Ah, so it is a train station? Awesome!

[toxicpiano]

it looks sooooper dooopperrrr

God called he wants his awesome back.

Wow... I can't believe I didn't see this earlier either!

I think the diagonals are so much of a breakthrough that they'd be enough on their own!  ... need anybody to test 'em?

I love your W2W too!!

EDIT:  One more thing... I think in Sgs orig, he added the purification sparkle effect that makes the water appear to sparkle in places... you might consider adding that so that the sets match up correctly.  Just a thought.

[superhands]

thanks for the replies.
CabraBuitre i' not to sure what you mean?¿

every time i click on gmax i end up creating something new.
this time it's a roundabout/pedestrian underpass.   

i have used couchpotato's trees, which are on the lex.

[CabraBuitre]

Never mind... it's just a small effect prop in the lot editor, but looking at the original set, it doesn't look like it was placed everywhere anyway.

Any idea when you might start releasing some of your work (like the canals)?

I really like the idea of the underpass for the roundabout, too!

[Pat]

Just stunning work Bighead wow!!!!  I love that roundabout filler!!
