Acumen Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 hui, I'm done. My first finished skin. Can't believe it took me the entire day to finish. My friend was like talking to me and telling me, he'd go and play some game, then he returned and told me an hour passed. And I had only finished one of those barrels in this hour. Wow, didn't know that it could take that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Postman Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 nifty stuff, but the wood and plaster look "fuzzy," not as distinct as they could be. However I like the thatch on the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 the texture for the outside of the wood pile should be more "loggy" instead of a flat wood tex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic-B@ll Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 stick a transparent thing along the edge of the roof so taht the hay looks uneven and you can see individual strands, that would look neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acumen Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 thanks for all these comments guys. I think I learned a lot during the making of this building. The alpha thing, great idea, I just didn't think of that while modeling this building cause in the first place I wanted to make rooftiles not straw/hay, so I didn't think of that at all. But later when it came to skinning, I saw those screens from Anno3 and the Settlers 5 and thought, man, do the straw thing as well But then the uvmap was already done; and I didn't wanna spend another day on this, so I decided to leave out the alpha thing. Another thing I've learned is "don't give window in one floor different heights" that looks rather funny, when it comes to skinning, as you can see on the back of the house :/ Same goes for the door.. So next time, I'll do this kind of building I I get myself a concept, cause that was a mistake to not use one and I think about the skin first, then model it. ^^ I'm just happy I finally did a skin from start to end. I could not have asked for more But for now, I'll stick with the modelling. Cause in no way, my skinning is somehow efficient. There's no relation between the quality of the skin and the time I spend on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
