Description
I finally got this thing finished. All the plank texturing was driving me insane, but I really like this scene.It's around 14,000 tris total, only 4000 being the structure itself. The rest is all terrain. 0:
Edit: changed/touched up some of the grasses.
Here's another version of the scene, from a different angle: [link]

OH MY GOD IT'S AMAZING *O*
Do you mind me asking what software you are using? c:

wow great job with the textures did you use bump maps at all?
also do you make your own textures?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used normal maps, they are the bump maps of the future. But yeah, I created the whole scene.

Oh my god this is lovely!
What is this? Is this part of a playable map?

very nice, I like how you show us the difference between your use of mesh and texture work, it is giving me some ideas of how to lower my poly count while maybe not losing noticeable detail.

I generally do that for my portfolio, so that potential employers can see how I optimize and approach the project. I think the structure itself is only around 7000 tris, but the terrain is a little crazy v:

this is awesome, is it vray? how do you make the sky so real and the lighting is just sick

Nope, I don't have any fancy rendering programs, unfortunately. It's actually just scanline rendering in 3ds Max. Since I prepare my stuff in terms of games, I try not to go too crazy with effects that game engines can't handle. Glad you like it!

Usually I can tell from the thumbnail on first sight if something is a photo, a rendering or a painting (includes digital artwork). Here it took me a few seconds to identify it from the fullview - extremely grat job with the lighting!!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I try to establish a strong lighting setup early on in the modeling step, and it usually changes a few times as I start to add textures and what not, but this way I feel like I've iterated and come up with something that fits the scene in the end.

Thank you very much for explaining. I see that this method pays

Looks awesome; though I can't help but think the planks just below the top could be a bit more optimized, maybe a board with some clever alphas and normals... it seems a little dense compared to the rest of the scene.
But aside from that it looks really cool.

fuck yes, this is awesome
Those textures are fantastic, man

How about changing ligts position?
Try lighting from the back and vertical lightning.
And maybe different light colour? Something more yellow in case of back-lighting.
Lower the secondary multiplier of the lightmap.

I just put a bright omni light wherever it's dark while I'm working, and then delete it before I do a test render. It's not really a problem, just that the final lighting makes it hard to see in the viewports.

That's great. I want to run around and explore it

Lol, me too, but rotating around too much makes my computer crash, and the viewport lighting is totally black in the front.

Crashes for me a lot when rotating too, specially if there's a lot in the viewport

Very cool building! I wonder if the grass blades aren't too big. They are throwing off the sense of scale for me. I'm also a little confused about the textures on the window frame. Great looking model otherwise, and the background scene makes for great presentation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet, thanks! The grass is pretty tall, but I can go back and scale it/change the density so it looks a little more natural. I'll do a closer shot, so hopefully the window textures look more clear, but I can always tweak it a little.

Turned out awesome

Oh, me too. Realistically run down buildings are the best.
