So i figure i have a good idea for a game (don`t we all )
So i have begun to model the city for it. I would like some constructive crits on the models as i go so i figured to start this thread .

I do want a semi sci-fi theme but as it is set in a semi terraformed world they also have to look functional .

This is the first structure, it will be a facade only. (ie no interior)

if you look closely at the windows, every window is a little different. some have curtains, others don't. some are closed, others aren't. Some have shutters half-opened, some have them fully closed.
More detail would not be bad if you plan on making the character come close.
Definately add a normalmap to the wall. It may not be perfect, but it adds structure. you could do bricks, or otherwise simply a noise or something. the latter could be achieved with a good texture as well.
Now... that being said: the critique would be much better if there was more. maybe build 10 houses, and then aks for city-critique. this way, you'll just get house-critique (do you know what I mean? A single house should be more detailed, for an entire city, this may just do fine)
It is a good house. the architecture'S nice, it just needs more.
well done,

Thanks for the crits germanunkol, however the structure above (apart from the windows and door) has no other textures yet

This one I feel is a tad more sci-fi looking, any thoughts?

add strange sci-fi thingies... like indicators, valves, screens etc. just dont exaggerate this. dont forget that each of them has it's purpose

= car selling place?

you think the second one looks like a car showroom germanunkol

somehow it looks like a car showroom
maybe you could get some neon-lights
or pipes maybe that would make it look a bit more futuristic

i agreea it looks like a showroom. Nice model tho.. plop a few futuresque mad max roadwarrior 728's in there with plow blades welded to the bumpers and I say its great. course I have a more postalish vision of the future than some ppls games may be after.

either way great models even if they are rough drafts, I have a problem myself I cant make a building without making the 8th floor bathroom faucet handles first and building out :P so facades are somewhat impressive to me.

Ok, this is the begining of a science station. This is the airlock entrance and the interior is modeled as well. Thoughts?

yeah why not its looking quite okay,
if you can out a good skin on it and some good interior models in it.Maybe its a bit too small. Look a women nearly fits through the entreance and normaly there are bigger guys
