Low poly building and garage

[Catlin]

Helo,something a little different for me but i think its going really really well,gunna model a low poly car for it soon.

[revelli]

nice model you ahve done, with good textures, this could be very good

[Catlin]

Yeh im a bit worried about the texturing side of things.Im not a great texturer.Since you know how to do.What would you suggest mate.

[mpfive]

oh dude.. very nice, but the front door is too narrow, those boxes in the garage wont even fit through it

[Catlin]

didnt notice i agree,ill sclae the house up a bit.

[tyoung]

I think the whole house is too narrow. Looks nice though!

[Silent][Moebius]

but lol check your balcony, the wall has a very weird angle!

[Catlin]

Making textures = knowing your way around Photoshop and its tools.
I've got that checked after two years of using Photoshop prior to 3D modelling, but this book i got recently still is very usefull:

Definite recommend, especially for you, who keeps telling us you can't do textures! Time to do something about it, right ?

[Catlin]

I have texporter,i was just messing around and made something that i could use.Ill try get it textured over the weekend its going to be a big job for me.Thanks for the book.il try get it sometime.I dont think i need to make any textures i have nearly all of the 3d total texture discs.

Oh, it's the UV mapping that you have trouble with ?
Just put yourself to it for a while, i guess it's tough in the beginning but you'll get the hang of it.

[Catlin]

No mate i can do that look ill show you what i can do.

I create this map using texporter then all i have to do is draw in my textures then when i drag it over to my model it fit perfectly on because the uvw map is already applied.This is just applying a planar uvw map on the top of the garage obviously i will do it on each side and just apply it all in the same map.So its pretty easy to work with.Its just time consuming making textures for the roof andf making them look nice.As you can see here i already created a garage roof map by using the texture i supplied obviously it was just a really quickly done job i was just testing out its function because ive never used texporter much.

kk dude i pretty like the idea of the garage and u supplyd me whit the map and texture so i coudlnt resist doing something for u

nothing special but better then ur quik try

[Catlin]

Yeh thats very nice,mine was just to see how it worked.How did you do this?

[mr.mean]

uhm photoshop?

[Xoliul]

Sounds like you just use the "easy", limited modifiers for UV's. Try using "UVW Unwrap", hit "Edit" under the modifier's details and there you can edit your UVW mapping into details. That way you have most control, and it's also the only way to get good results for lowpoly cars (and buildings to an extent).

Also, I think you really do need Photoshop help if you can't see how to do a simple texture like mr.mean's No offence, but that's just really basic Photoshop stuff

That could just be the perspective you are viewing it from

[Catlin]

its supposed be semi cartoonish type house then i turned it into a more realistic look house but left the taper still on there so i just need to put it back to its original state.
