[Graphics programmer answer] Doesn't really matter. I would shoot for everything being separate. Should a metal barrel and lamp share the same texture? Not really, you should be fitting each of those as close to 100% UV as possible. If you want those to both be say 512 size textures and you only see a lamp in a house and…
Humm... I don't want to dump on your hard work because pieces of this are looking pretty good but I think the pieces aren't meshing together well and they aren't supporting your overall goal of "abandoned". There seems to be a few missed details that would really help this out. The asphalt material looks really new, which…
short answer: yes and yes ;) long answer, we had pretty detailled concepts for most of the characters. So what i did with modelling is take approx. the perspective the concept was done in, screengrab it, align it in ps, have a layer with the concept and tried to match them as close as possible without making them look too…
That would be Planetary Challenge. This challenge is not community oriented and it is open to anyone. However, it's my hopes to encourage communities to help organize local events for their artists. For UC and DW, they will remain as is. If an artist enters for Team Art Station or conceptart.org, I am positive that both…

Rather than snidely disreguard this interesting discussion as futile, I'll try to contribute something meaningful. I realize there are some who weren't around for the first go round or it's successions, and who could benefit from hearing many points of view on this matter. Photosourcing is fine, I do alot of it. I use it…
You'll end up with two maps one will have good ends the other will have good sides. It's really just a matter of layering them on top of each other in Photoshop then erasing out the bad parts from the top layer. On more organic shapes it can be better to just push the cage outward evenly just enough so that it encompasses…
can you post more renders? just from looking at it, i feel your missing some paneling in the front there seems to be a square where the view port of the driver should be....based on the image...( i could only get one to load at work :( ) and also i feel you should add some charactor to it like the front guards of the…
Ah the ZModeler angle is actually an interessting one! I will have to experiment a bit with that, but that's a great lead actually. I'm not 100% convinced this would be a great fit for the plugin, but worst case I can do a small custom thing for you :) ! Limiting on the number of colors the randomized function on the other…
Looks neat! I think the roof needs some more work. Right now it's just 100% rust. Could go with rust decals instead, or vertex painting? The STAIION signs look a bit low res The 66 sign looks low res too. The plants under the roadside STATTION sign look kinda old school. Give the grass a bit of a curve, and have it coming…
