are thee wall textures final? I find them a bit bare and lifeless, some details like a bit of dirty/cracks or something like that could make it look better and more alive :)

Great job on the model and night lights. The in-game version looks a bit blurry though. Are you using Gmax?

Post by: art128 on April 25, 2015, 03:08:21 PM
He's using 3dsmax 2016 with bat4max if I'm not mistaken. You can't get glare like that for the lighting on Gmax.

The extra signs turned out better than great! Those details and the way they build on multiple people's ideas and refine them really make this extra special



EDIT by vester: What Noah is talking about, and that I forgot mention in my last post is that the orange sign is original made by reddonquixote. I just modified it a little:
