That building is really nice, I'd re-skin the red containers though, they look out of place. It would be cool if the bottom left container was open so you could walk through it, with boxes in it. Really solid stuff though, you should make a blend modulate texture soon too.

Sort of read my mind.
I'll be either reskinning or creating new container assets with one open one,
also yeah i'm looking into blend modulate at the moment

I think a reskin would be just fine. The stock cargo container models are actually quite nice in my opinion. Of course, if you wanted to make the scene with your own assets, custom models would definitely be a step in the right direction.



Lol. Triple smiley combo.

Remaking my ze_Mario64 after a HDD crash 1 year and a half ago:

(custom textures/models blah blah by me)

You know someone here ripped the sm64 textures a while ago I have no idea where they ended up though.

It's quite easy to rip them, but they're too low res. So I'm making all the textures. I don't really want it to be a Mario 64 copy, more like a Mario 64 on steroids.

I can't even see the pictures.

[Spike]

Janga has the same problem :S I'm going to try to fix it

How does this building/warehouse look? Yes, I am aware of the black ivy.

[Dives]

The vertical metal pieces look too thick. Looks good otherwise.

[Sathor]

I think the concrete columns on the brick walls should extrude a bit more than the horizontal pieces. This would give the building a tiny bit of extra definition and in my opinion always looks better. Otherwise it is really good. You should add something to the roof, like an antenna or any other kind of small detail.
I like the rest of the detailing.
A quick sketch of what I would change and add:

Yeah, agreed. I do this with framework most of the time. It gives that extra depth to the building architecture

Looks so much better now:

I'd love to see some intense brushwork on that castle, make it look really nice with proper flashings and parapets and all that.

[Fulcrum]

My desert thing with light and fog. cl_Detail dist at 10000 for effect. Next up colourcorrection and rocks once I grapple with 3dsmax. The lighting made a huge difference in my opinion!

[Text_Fish]

Looks like a desert.

May I suggest using blend textures to add some dirt tracks/tire tracks and maybe some rolling dust clouds to break up the monotony? You could also dot the occasional skeleton/carcass around and have some vultures circling overhead. You might also be able to create a cool heat ripple effect on the horizon by using env_steam in the skybox? Never tried that myself, but often wondered.
