<P>Hi mate.</P>
<P>thats good work. Like the grimey feel to the building.</P>
<P>It is good to see some more ppl getting involved in the game art section.</P>
<P>I have a few comments about your model and I hope you dont mind me being a bit critical.</P>
<P>I like the texture on the side of the building, i think you should continue the edging along the front as well. right now im not sure it is working too well.</P>
<P>I think you should not have a lot of shadow information in the texture when you use normal maps. I think the shadows are too harsh on the cracked plaster and bricks on the front of the building. The textures at the top of the building need a bit of blending, just so it looks a part of the same building. Also, the bricks on the corners dont seem to be tiling.</P>
<P>Finally, I have seen this a common problem for most people going from doing artwork for current gen to next gen games. The texal density needs to be mentained throughout the model. If your textures are stretching in some areas and appear low res while in other areas they are sharp and detailed, then normal maps will look stretched and not work as well as you want them to. </P>
<P>The second image uve posted, I assume you are using the same texture on the first floor as for the walls near the door way. The texture and the normal maps seem to work well near the door but on the first floor they are stretched and I think it loses a lot of detail.</P>
<P>keep on posting more good work.</P>
<P>cheers</P>
