Downtown Buildings

OBlastradiusO · Jan 2009

I took a break on my Splash Damage Art Test (which is almost done BTW) and had the urge to work on this Bizarre Creations Art Test. This building is 9534 polys. After looking closely at one of Stefan Morrel's buildings I could have textured this a bit differently to cut down poly size. You live and learn I guess. Here's one of the buildings with two more coming.

haha sorry about that last post, I just posted it cause I got a kick out of being the third person to say the exact same thing.

I'm liking this building. At first glance I thought it was just a picture of the building pasted over a blue backdrop. The only thing I'm wondering is how does it look up close because it looks like you used actual photos for your texture.

Np and yeah I did use photos given to me in the art test as a reference. I turned the photo references into textures.

Here's my texture sheet. Not in accurate size of course.

I love that random window 4 floors from the top that's facing 45 degrees.

Here's another update.

take that through a sharpen fileter in photoshop looks really blurry.

OBlastradiusO · Jan 2009

I sharpened this one a bit. The image quality of the references I got are good enough a guess for a racing game.

That looks a lot like the corner of Main and Hastings in Vancouver... The lesser known side where you catch the bus, across the street from the infamous library.

Nice work! I think this looks great! I think I like this specifically because of the mix between nice old architecture accents and the current regime of cheap endless repetitive sprawl. That I think makes this look current and realistic to me.

good job!

Thanks a lot man and I appreciate all constructive criticism! Canada is actually where I would like to go to find a game artist job. I hear a lot of nice things and opportunities up there.

Thanks man! Hey your the guy who did that apartment building in that facade contest. Excellent work you have there too. Also Nahhhh I didn't really send out anything yet I still have more environment work to do. I still have work to finish then when I'm satisfied with the quality of my work ill start sending things out. Although I might send this art test I'm finishing up to Bizarre and see what happens. Canada will be my first reaching out though because I see lot game jobs out there.
