Environment Model: Firehouse

adam

Started on this side project. I wanted to model a firehouse, found some reference images and have come up with this:


Tell me where the firehouse is from, win a prize!

Looks good, but the bottom side needs some windows or something.

But you forgot the flag!!!!! BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!

nice work

Looks great - very accurate recreation.
My only issue with it, would be if it were for game. There aren't enough verts along the faces to light it proper. But then again, I'm sure this is just a portfolio piece?

adam

Hunter: Ha, yup There's quite a bit of images to be used as points of reference for this project aswell, which is nice.

Soccerman18: Definitely adding in more windows. Actually, as of writing this I have - just haven't updated on it yet.

klein: I'll add in the flag later.. maybe. Thanks!

Vassago: Once I'm happy with the shape and over-all look of it all I'll make it engine-friendly. I've actually already gone ahead and added in some edges/verts to compliment an engines lighting ability, but those edges are hidden right now (otherwise it looks all messy and I didn't want that for the WIP shot). Thanks :

EDIT: One thing I noticed that needs changing are the 8 pieces at the top of the building (just under the trim of the roof). They need to be much larger and come out more. Unfortunately, I don't know what those pieces are called. r13 told me once but i've forgotten

this building should be condemned

Slight update:

steady

adam

Thanks steady.

Everyone else: Any suggestions?

Some nice detail there. Few small nit picky things though. The curved column things near the top of the building under the trim look too thick. In the ref pic it looks like they're thin on the bottom, the ones on the side look like there's almost nothing to them near the bottom, and round on the top. Not sure that those yellow things are by the door, bumpers maybe, but adding those could help in adding some detail at ground level since most of the detail is in the middle and top. In the ref pic it looks like the flag in going up at an angle, not straight out, but that's minor. Some nice work there, is it for anything or just for fun?

Who you gunna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!

Good work! It looks great you captured the likeness very well, even if you didn't mean to

Nice work! Really good looking firehouse, easily recognizable if we saw the movie
How about an Ecto1 to park in front of it when it is finished ?
