Re: WIP: Building Environment
This model took much longer than I wanted. And where I thought I was saving time by resurrecting and retouching an older model (and it did) the time spent went into the texture. Three times. I'll say it now, KNOW YOUR TEXTURE SPACE. I packed these UV's again and again, and it's all my fault for screwing up the first time.… -

Re: WIP: Building Environment
I spent the beginning of the day screwing around with Mental Ray and various lighting methods. Then I made a couple new textures and... my brain dropped out the back of my head.
