modeling a building...

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hey, I like it very much! Perhaps for the realness, you could apply some more dirt / smugde to the texture, especially to the green / lighter part. user added image

I like the way that a portion of the wall is reflective, but I think that may be contributing to the unrealisticness (word?) of the texturing. Its cool, but its rare that you find a wall that is that recently cleaned. As someone already said, maybe go ahead and dirty your texture up a bit

hey thanks for the replies

Do I have to uv map the building to apply the dirtmaps or can it e done more easily? (my texturing has been done with planar mapping)

I'm currently working on the windows

This is actually an existing building here in holland here's a pic:

to apply the dirt it would be easy to do some uv-mapping...its easier as it sounds...select some faces and use planar mapping...just a tip^^..

Ok, i added the windows, background, and started adding dirt, but as you can see I really suck at it... how can I make some convincing dirt textures? and also how can i reflect the sky on the windows?

other comments are also welcome ofcourse...
