Building too :)

Lots of buildings these days :wink:
This one is from my animated series project that will start effectively in September.
I plan to make this series only with free tools, and essentially with Blender, which I love, even if I use 3DSMAX in my work.
For the moment, there’s only modeling, no texturing at all, and just simples lights.
I hope by the end of the next week, I’ll be able to show you the whole street.

sorry, I have no website now, so I have to link to another newsgroup.
But I’ll try to fix that soon.
For the moment you just have to click the link to JPG

Simply beautiful. Even without texture it has an incredible look and feel.
It reminds me of something out of a Batman scene.

Do you have any advice on how to model a building? I got good advice from Cativo. Maybe you have some as well.

Thanks in advance.

To avoid going to the other forum, here is the link to garbager’s building: http://www.3dvf.com/nntp/ARTICLE/WIPbatiment1.jpg

Nice Building. It gives me that Batman scene feeltoo. Possibly because of the ‘simple lights’. Looking foward to seeing the whole street! :smiley:

Well thanks for the comments :slight_smile:
Actually, I plan to make some 'how to’s about various elements that will be made for the series.
For the moment unfortunately, I don’t have time to create tutorials, I just have time to sleep, work the day , work the night, and sometimes, while eating, participate at newsgroups :slight_smile:
But for first advices, it would be to search tons of photos about buildings, if possible books that relate building by period. Observe a lot.
And don’t forget to bevel a lot (but not too smooth), so the bevels takes the lights and create highligts.
If you look at my building, it’s made of very repetitive objects. It’s just that I wanted to obtain a mood that feel like Gotham city or Dark city.
Finding the mood you want to represent before working is the most important.
So I search for many books and references about buildings with a 30-40’s style.
Also, I always put everything at the maximum detail level, OSA, shadows, everything.
I know, it’s not THAT good advices, but my dinner break is over ! I promise you to explain more things on my site during Spetember.

Wow! That looks great! and I agree, it looks like something out of Gotham City.

Nice buildings! (both ilac and garbager)

Cool building, i like it. I think it could use with some more light though.
