ok another update...this time lets talk one more detail and colours.

Just found a photo with these 2 weird looking tanks. Guessing these are gas..as is in natural gas, rather than what Americans call gasoline and Brit's call petrol. Then again they could be Solyent Green for all I know :)

Though as they look such strange shapes to me, the weirdness just seem to fit this whole situ, so just got to model them :) Which will be quick given the shapes.

Now for colour, as I#'ve mentioned before this is still an oddity. The press and 1 google-maps photos are clearly taken in very bright cloudless light. Yet the photo a zoom background posted by 4 seasons landscaping is totally different.

Plus you'll notice on some the white painted area is bleached out. So I've decided to run with I'd call a "comprise colour". Yes it's not 100% screen accurate, but it's close and shouldn't bleach too badly on renders.

Especially HDR which tends to look overbright, especially on flatscreen monitors. Like this one which isn't accurately colour calibrated. Kinda like how the USS enterprise's studio models never look like the ones on TV.

Finally, as last night bricks. One set under the windows will now be textured on rather than modelled. Plus looking at new photos, theres also some castellated style ones on the ends of the painted wall.
Which too will be textures.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
