Made for Trainz Railroad Simulator, this is the authentically modeled building of the old building of the railway station of Kisvárda-Hármasút, Hungary. New means old in the sense that this has been built some time in the 70’s, and therefore it doesn’t look that new now. The design is a common standard used for many railway buildings at that time. The building has been modeled by my memories, about 100 photos taken on the scene, Google Street View, Here MAPS, Zoom and Google Maps satellite images and old aerial photos. Photos show in-game rendering unless stated otherwise.
Built with 5 LOD levels, from about 25k polys down to less than 1k. LOD 0-4 include the same Blender objects and decreasing poly count has been achieved using modifiers only.
The brick and the concrete textures both use only one material, both created by me from scratch using Substance Designer. The reason the design an own brick material was that these old bricks walls feature a lot of colors from light grey thru red to almost black, with at least 4-5 significant tones, while certain parts of the walls have been painted over with some rude red and look completely monotonic.
In addition to some smaller materials, the whole asset is based on two trim sheets, a 4K and a 2048x1024 one and it was quite a challenge to try to make everything into those without visually hurting repetitions.
