So I figured that if I want to get a job as an environmental artist, I should probably make a couple of buildings. So, I read through a few of the envir art threads, and here is my first attempt at one. It's simple, but I'm want to get the process down before I get carried away. It's a facade at this point (no back). It's 8870 tris. I used five maps big maps, and three small ones for repeating textures, as shown in the pic. I rendered the building with each of the maps as a solid color, so you can see what goes with what. No normal or spec maps, as I imagine I'm gonna get suggestions on how to make this better/more efficient.
So now I'm just looking for a beat down. What should be changed? Should I combine 4 for the big maps, maybe toss out the "additional balcony colors" map? Are some of the maps unnecessary? Looking for insight. Thanks in advance for your help.

Not very fond of the stripes on the top. I like the idea of having some kind of detail up there but something else rather. And the windows should be placed a bit away from the edge of the wall.
Otherwise, looks like a very good start. I'll be watching.
For the doors....it is better to just have one iteration instead of two identical ones...there's also a great deal of wasted space in the image.
AimBiZ: The big maps are 5 big maps are 1024x1024, the brick is 512, and the roof and wall base textures are 256. I was planning this for a fps. The lines on the top and windows are based from the building I saw. But for logical reasons they could be changed.
salman_fas: the reason the door is repeated is because I didn't like the other texture I made, so I just replaced it with the other one to hold the spot.
zerafian: i could try a few more brick patterns. I tried a couple to get to that one, so I'll play with it a little bit.
pliang: I could try dumping that extra texture and just mixing them across the other. Also, you say there is a great deal of space wasted in the image, do you mean in the textures, or the composition? I'm sure I could make the uv's more efficient if I combined four of the 1024's onto one sheet....
Once again, thanks for the feedback.
Looks good so far, pretty clean and good use of texture layouts.
