Simply Maya House WIP
This is the house from Dave's tutorials that I have been following, just trying my hand at texturing so far its looking ok, still not happy with some of the textures but I guess that comes with experience.
Thanks Mythandra

BTW if you have not seen part 2 here one thing you should do is bake the roof down into a displacement map that way you'll be able to paint it with a traditional 2d paint program like photoshop. No one wants to UV that roof geo
Also try the turtle render engine (it's built into maya) to bake out ambient occlusion maps these can be used as a basis for dirt maps in photoshop. Many tricks for texturing such as blending different photos together to get the look you want on say a dirty wall but at the end of the day like everything in 3D it just requires a ton of practice. Post production also goes a long way! A little DOF some colour grading slight fog even a simple contrast s curve. Don't try and do everything in Maya I see people trying to colour grade images in Maya all the time, rendering over and over again. Honestly it's like painting in the dark with your hands tied behind your back.
Thanks for posting up the house. Happy to see you taking it in your own direction.

Lol SwatSnipe.
I think a subtle detail that helps to sell shots like these is the vantage point, its practical and believable, as if someone held a camera up and snapped a photo.

Finished modelling the garage and have done a little more work on the textures. I am finding getting the right lights setup very difficult, but that comes with experience I guess.

So i might do the same again this time around but no promises it simply depends on how much time I have.
