how to go about modelling buildings for games?

Cyph3r

So I need to whip up some buildings for a game and im drawing a blank on how i should go about doing it.

i.e, for a building like this:



I always hear it should be done with modular pieces, but which bits should be made modular?

LEViATHAN

The building can be broken up into smaller, identical pieces which can be tiled vertically.

Ah cheers for that Leviathan

This might help too.

you make modular, anything that seems logical. It's much like making a tiling texture. Where ever it seems like it SHOULD tile, it should tile.

sir-knight

that building is easy to see the tiling... the black one behind it would be more of a bitch

Harryscary276

well maybe he can make it tiling then go back and spend a few minutes adding the differences
