How about some house props?

Top left garage goes with my Packard house, top right goes to the Burgess house. The other 3 are for various lots. More to come on these.

ooo I am sooo drooling there Eric!!! I soo can't to see the new houses and the props to go with them wow!!!!

XiahouDun · January 04, 2010, 06:49:58 PM

Needing to rough up the overlay texture some, but finally working on this stuff again...

Dude, that looks like my grandma's house. Except that the driveway and the garage is on the right and it has a green tin roof.

looking good

we can never have enough residentials in SC.

XiahouDun · January 09, 2010, 03:55:04 AM

Thanks guys

Hoping I can get these all done in the next few weeks. Have 4 more lots to texture, then finish up some props and bring it all together

Threw together another test lot. Shows me that I'm going to need to rerender the garage, it went all funky at the base. And I'll probably go in and scuff up those textures on the driveway just a little bit

Nice home. I especially like the painted blue steps at the front.

I was contemplating doing some homes myself - basically, the homes that are my neighborhood. What is the size of your LOD?

XiahouDun · January 17, 2010, 04:53:06 AM

Thank you. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, the front steps do just lead to grass.

Thats exactly what I did with these

The house I just showed is across the street from me in fact.

And size of the LOD for the house or the garage?

XiahouDun · June 12, 2010, 01:17:18 AM

Blew the dust off my BAT and got some things done. Finished some more of the neighborhood props (there are now 10), and did a lot of work on my school. Its now in the final detailing stages

jmyers2043 · June 13, 2010, 07:40:48 AM

Are you going to try to put the home on a foundation to make it slope friendly?

... EDIT ...

Here's a house I did recently. Test render of the home, foundation, and overlay textures.

I should learn how to do that. I have some changes I want to make to some of my buildings anyways (Which I offically will never finish at this rate

).

*ahem*

Progress on the school, placed over the base that I used for measuring just because I thought it looked cool, and rendered in HD because... well I wanted to really

Still some things to be done though.

*edit* I realize in that picture there is some issues at the top of the picture from when I didn't line up my screenshots properly to when making the full image. I didn't notice it until right after I posted this

thingfishs · June 15, 2010, 03:42:52 AM

looking good X (and Jim)

I particularly like this house, and the steps straight onto grass is a familiar sight to me here in Australia. I do think the roof texture is a tad repetitive though..

XiahouDun · June 17, 2010, 12:44:19 PM

Thanks

Was the first thing I ever made, so it has some issues with it, I'll admit.

So, I've now obtained BAT4Max, so I can now explore some of my more complex ideas

Once I get things figured out...

XiahouDun · June 19, 2010, 08:15:11 PM

So I'm playing around in the BAT and having an issue with night lighting. I've set the lighting in this picture to exclude the grey rectangle, but at you can see its still being lit up. To clarify, I am using BAT4GMAX that was packed with BAT4MAX 4.5 (if that helps any). Its their something I'm missing?

manchou · June 23, 2010, 02:20:57 AM

Very nice houses

XiahouDun · July 17, 2010, 02:24:38 AM

Manchou- thank you!

Put a draft copy of the school into SC4 using the SC4PIM. Lot is a minimum of 7x6. I set it to .3 in the PIM and it had something like... 2348 students. Nightlighting is done (very subtle since its an elementary school). Few tweeks to go then I will start working on textures for it. Famous last words, I know

XiahouDun · July 31, 2010, 01:46:08 AM

Western view of the school after my final touch-ups. Thinking I'm going to call this one done and add it to my list of buildings to make textures for/lot.

XiahouDun · August 01, 2010, 08:55:58 PM

New project, first attempt at using Max. I think its coming along well so far

No starting off small this time, getting right into one of the projects I have wanted to do since I first started modelling.

mattb325 · August 01, 2010, 11:08:23 PM

This new BAT looks to be very interesting - are you basing this off a real building?

Look forward to the progress
