WIP buildings for crysis
I've started modeling some buildings for Crysis, just for fun and practice. Maybe I'll make a whole city if I manage to make enough buildings.
Here's the first one. Still a WIP.

I accidentally made gutters hidden before grabbing the wireframe pic. So here's the same pic with the gutters:
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Thanks!
Yes, to some degree. It has chimneys scattered quite randomly on the roof. And there are stairs and doors on the other side of the building. But I'm not going to alter the overall shape of the building.

LOL...you must be joking
Here's some REAL progress
However, I would first do modules of the main part of the building (walls, windows etc.) because right now it would look like doing a character by doing this hat first.
Check this thread, it may give some ideas about the workflow: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=39&t=444791
I decided to draw a little plan before modeling the wall. What do you guys think about it?
Keep it up, nice works
I'd wager he intends to model it and mirror it. (the caps are slightly different sizes but maybe he feels there isnt much point making them different, idk)
looks a bit sick, good way to tackle making a facade.
Looks correct to me, except that C and D can be the same. I mean, they can use the same texture but can be different mesh pieces if you don't wan tto deal with mirror.
"B" module I suggest not to be cut in the geometry but to be placed slightly over the wall surface. This way "A" modules can have their top/bottom edges being nicely welded.
I'm not totally sure but I have a feeling that could cause problems with shadows. B could cast unwanted shadows on A.
Here's another version. Not a complete one but you get the picture
This time I reused much more the same texture space on the windows. I'm not sure which plan is better. Any suggestions?
Here's an image showing edges that don't match each other:
For some reason I didn't realize to take picture of the whole building, but fortunately I found one from the internet.

I started modeling that cool corner facade:

Yeah, you'll need to fix those T junctions or they will render funny, leaves like a little space between them if you don't match them up correctly in some engines.
