Hello all, I just want to share with you the progress of my modelling. Here is the third building, I expect to build 5 or 6. All those buildings are made with a hi-rez modelling and textures, so i'm also working on a low-rez street for distant views. Tje low poly car on the image is just a reference for the global scale. Hope you like it. Cheers! Pidjy

You really should be working for Pixar, or somebody like that. Awesome!

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

Wow Pidj, that's some great stuff!

this is done in Bryce ???? WOW, terrific.

Good picture. I especially like how you included your name in the picture.

OH MY GOD.....THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFULLLLLLLLLLLLL....Sharen

Spot on pidjy also congrats on the renderosity magazine cover challenge. TT.

Models, textures, and lighting are all awsome pidjy. Great job.

Cool! Am I right in assuming that the windows are 2d faces inside? Or did you actually model every room? If you wanted to sell this, which you easily could, you would have to own the rights to the pics. For versatility purposes, I would also make a few of the rooms, maybe one or two per building, full 3d so that you could render from inside out as well as outside inside.

Hey, we can all go to Pidjy's Restuarant! Last biulding on the right!

Love the architectural accent lights on the hotel! This is great work. Stand tall and be proud!

VERY SWEET!! The detail and lighting/shading are right on the money. I've been getting into architectual renders myself, although mine are of a "dark industrial" nature. Any chance you can pass along some advice on how you did the building? Trying to model a floorplan, but I just can't figure how to import the floorplan so that I can get the proper placement on the walls.

Thank you so much for your comments. Boomer in fact I've been makin these buildings using terrain and elevation map. no floor plan... Each building "facade" is only 1 object with 1 texture (hi-rez). Madmax br5, the rooms are just hollowed squares with UV mapping.. nothing inside.. except for the shop that is full 3D..

Fantastic. I can just feel myself to be there.

Excellent detail! These are terrains and elevation maps??? Any chance of you writing a tutorial? Thanks! Peggy

WOW! you've really gotten better and better since I first came to this forum. You should be glad there's not such a thing as a talent overdose :) Fantastic modelling and texturing! And the lighting is superb too.

I am completely hooked on architecture. I'm working on some Victorian buildings for a street scene but I've been modeling buildings using booleans - thousands of them as I want to be able to manipulate them to the minute detail. Is your terrain and elevation map a better way? You seem to be getting a similar effect. Maybe I should be creating my models using it. I just love the render!

This is just super work pidjy!!! I can look at these all day you've put so much detail into them. Cie

If it weren't for the low poly VW Bug, someone could mistake it for a photo. Awesome detail work!
