Last update for the week kids...more on monday...

Added temporary texture maps just to get a feel of how its laying out..

Need to replace the following temp placers::

Stairs (the right amount)
Windows (right dimensions)
Pillars (right design)
Door (need to actually add it)
Chimneys (with right design)

Thats all next on my "to do" list..

after that its the canpoys..they need to be replaced and made correct..

after THAt..i'll get around to adding the metal fencing on the building..as well as small things like drain pipes, siding etc..

Current Work time: 3 hours

And create the surroundings as well... landscaping, etc. etc...

Yeah...thats gunna be one of the last parts I do because if I add them now it'll bog down maya (unless I hide them..but then why even put them in there?)

Also want to get a better lighting rig setup since this one is a lil too dark for now

I actually have access to a foam core printer if I feel like "cheating" and making a real model out of this...I may just go for it :D

SMALL update here..

All ive worked on today so far was adding the iron work to the building (which i still need to finish..its too "neat"). Here is a rendering from a closer angel so you can see all the issues I need to fix.

First off the support beams are ALL wrong.

The windows as you can maybe see are actually just really sloppy basic models that resemble the shape of the real thing, but ALL the details are missing.

The door..temporary..I just got a REALLY good pic of the door so i'll prob work on that now.

Stairs..havnt touched em..wrong amount..wrong height..wrong length.

Texture stretching...that's something i'll prob fix last.

Chimney..lacking detail..again..have a nice pic of that so i'll more than likley work on that soon..

Missing row of windows/doors on the right side over there on the bottom..as well as the stairs...

Missing round windows on the sides of the "tower".

The ground is flat..which..for those of us who have been there can tell you that this place is on a lil hill...so i gotta try and figure out the dimensions of that..

Missing every single last lil light thats there. I'll get to it..i swear! :lookaroun

Add to that all the cosmetic details (TONS of them) which arent HARD to add, but have to wait until close to the end so that they will "fit" right (storm drains, siding, foliage)

so yeah...still a LONG way to go.

Its funny cuz I chose this model because I thought it would be sorta easy to do..and the more I work on it the more I realize how wrong I was. I should have stuck to my Spaceship Earth Model, or at least a place where I could go to and take my own reference pics!

I think you're being too hard on yourself, it looks great!:D
