Just a little thing: the concept is nice but i thing supposed to be a chinese scenery not japanese ;) (roof styles are not japanese because too round and too steep and the hectagonal pagoda is a very common thing for china but not japan). Still looking forward to where you are going with this :)
I created buildings for a Unity game last year. I used one texture for the one building type. So there were tilable parts in the texture for the walls and the roof and unique parts like decorations. With one texturesheet I was able to build multiple buildings.
Is the fog in here because of the smashed window down the hall? Or is it coming from the pipes in the ground which seem to be marked as a electricity sign? The lighting is really looking great and coming along nice. Also that's some blood. AND on the roof?! he got f**kd up!
I've still got to make a few separate props ie. a ladder so you can climb to the 1st floor. Brick rubble based floor for the whole model to sit on. Also more roof damage (planks of wood trailing off around the back).
The hardest part is waiting around to hear back. Try not to think about it too much, or jump through the roof every time the phone rings Easier said than done, I know - but at least you have another test to shift your focus to
If you are going to be modeling a rusty car, I would use normal maps, only for a clean car would I suggest relying on polygons. You could probably get away with mirroring the right and left sides, but keeping the bumpers, hood, and roof unique.
The building on the left feels like its missing something on the roof line, maybe add some type of metal flange or just some type of border... you say its your first enviroment scene, how long have you been modeling?
i still dont get it, how to render "sharp" images with mental ray here a example, the Blackparted-roof is software - the rest MR I use the Maps from a simple Foto - converted through crazybump AO included. - its all on a blin shader..
hard core dumb move, you want students to learn on your program cause then companies will use them since thats what everyone knows. Someone messed up big time lol watch piracy rates go through the roof now
New updates, I made more props, building with an arch, chimneys and roof (still need to change the texture) Also I made a new store and changed a little bit more the ilumination. I also made more decals, vertex painting, etc.
