Like this: See how there is a row of shingles that sit on top of the sharp transition points on the roof? Roofers have the same problem you do, because of the angles nothing lines up, looks pretty or is easily functional, so they cover it up the seams. Doing this on your model helps disguise that the textures don't line…
This is looking awesome, great progress Only thing I would say is the roofs are looking kind of flat. There's a neat trick for that on the wiki; http://wiki.polycount.com/ModularMountAndBlade?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Modular_MountBladeMod_02.jpg Keep it up!
Don't bake your building texture from an existing model. You should use tiling textures. If you want to pack multiple textures into one sheet, you need to create the sheet manually. We have tips here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Texture_atlas

I take it you've seen this? http://wiki.polycount.com/ModularMountAndBlade Yours is more on the clean side, but even cleaner structures have a bit of messyness and funk throughout. Get some edge loops on the wood and break up the straight edges. I like the grunge on the roof, but it's not matching in other places, whether…
Bounding box is an enclosed box, so by preventing you from walking through it, it is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. From what I understand, you're trying to import the whole house as one into UDK? Use UCX instead of a bounding box for that purpose. Since you want to walk inside it, I'd assume this is planned to be…
I suppose it depends on what your working on, your budget, and the players point of view. Either way I feel you need to check out this tutorial by phillipk and how he transforms a texture on a plane into something else - http://philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html That technique can be applied to…
Hey Brad, off to a good start. Continuing what we talked about last night: First and foremost, check your reference regarding roof structures. If you can show me a single perfectly flat roof amongst all of those shit-houses, i'll buy you a coke. It is a very temperate area, and rain and runoff would constantly be an issue.…
