romualdillo's little BATs & Problems

[Simcoug]

Very nice - I love all the variations and textures.   

[juliok102013]

Man, I'm making a latin city and this can be perfect 

[vester]

Keep it rolling  Love what you shows.

[DebussyMan]

Needless to say, I like them!
My only complaint is the roof texture, it looks too sharp and strong, a little less brightness-contrast my help them be easier on the eye and not distract so much from the facades.

[romualdillo]

DebussyMan Thank you!! I followed your advice and I hope you like the result.

vester Thank you!!

juliok102013 Thank you!! I'm trying them to match styles from different areas.

Simcoug Thank you very much!!

noahclem Thanks!! Perhaps you'll have to wait a little bit, because I want to add more models to the set before trying to release it!! 

Now the in-game shots... I hope everything is OK!!









And now, it's time to go back to school. I think it looks too bright between all those buildings!! 

[vester]

Niiiiice. Looking at the first two pictures , I was thinking maybe ask for some buildings with two floors 
Then the last two 
Maybe a 3rd floor as well .



Again what I can I say. Great work you are doing. 

[romualdillo]

vester Thank You!!! Well, step by step... Who knows??

And now a little update





The school new appearance!

[vortext]

The buildings look great ingame! 

As for the school, the facade is really nice, not too sure about the roof though. Also, isn't it on the small side for a school? By the looks of it, it'd have two classrooms at most. 

Maybe a 3rd floor as well

And maybe a 4th floor too, and a 5th, and a 6th . .  and . .  and. .

[romualdillo]

Hi vortext!

Does it look better now?





And yes, it's a small school with two classrooms only. It pretends to be what we call an "Unitary School" (Escuela Unitaria). This kind of school was used in rural areas (and not so rural) to teach boys and girls of different ages (separated by genders at that time) in only one classroom. The teachers had to prepare the lessons for the different grades present in the classroom (normally from 20 to 30 pupils). Then an inspector came to evaluate the children at the end of the year. The building is based on this other bigger building, which was a normal school.

I've tried to mod the building to have a capacity up to 60 pupils, but it doesn't work well, because for a population of 800 it only gets 2 or 3 pupils. I think it's because an association between capacity and demand...

[Bipin]

Very nice work. You've got an attractive, cohesive aesthetic going on there!

[FrankU]

The school is indeed nice. Also the surrounding wall looks good. But.... (There is always a but) I would do something about those freshly painted white doors in the backyard building! They are way too clean and give too much contrast with the rest.
Will we be able to put props inside the courtyard of the school, meaning: how did you do the LOD of the model? Please give us the opportunity to put props inside!

Great work all in all. And sorry I cannot help you with the capacity thing.

[romualdillo]

Thank you Bipin and FrankU!!!!!

About the school, the LOD is only a shape connecting both boxes, I had no problems by putting props inside:



btw, I changed the doors' colour.

And as you can see on the image, there's a new addition to the set, I hope you like it (as always if you see something strange or you dislike something, please tell me!!!)

[Simcoug]

I love the new additions - this is going to be a great set when complete 

[Kergelen]

Nice new model. Remember me some buildings in my hometown. 

[romualdillo]

Thak you very much Simcoug and Kergelen!!!!

I've done a new R$ building. I hope you like it!! I think I'm going to model other 2 or 3 buildings before doing the corner version of each model.





And here is the building in a row, to compare it with the others (I wanted some colour variation)



A new building I'm modelling. Nothing new at all...

[Bipin]

Lookin' good! Keep up the work, I like that you focus on more unique buildings as opposed to simply skyscrapers and the like.

[isii94]

The buildings look very nice.
They might look even better if you toned the texture a bit down. IMO they're looking a bit too bright in game.

[romualdillo]

isii94 Thank you!! I think they look so bright in the last pictures due photoshop: I didn't want to have so many independent pictures and photoshop always alters the colours.

Bipin Thank you!! Yes, I try to give to every building a bit of personality despite their similar structures.

And now, another little house of italian inspiration.

Romualdillo, I really appreciate your latin-styled buildings and all effort you are making in providing a lot of variety. The architecture, the mix of colors, the rooftops and the exposed bricks in the back are very realistic details.    However, I do second the opinion that they might become even more realistic in game if the saturation of the colors are slightly reduced. Making them a bit less colored, more grayish, will provide a good flavour of weather deterioration to them, as if they are not brand new, but were built some years ago. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your work!

[romualdillo]

Hi bap!! Thank you for your nice comment!!

Thank you all for your comments and opinions. I thought the colours were correct, but perhaps they're still too bright for the game. (If you could look at the colours in my hometown, you'll understand why I have no eye for those issues). I'll retexture all the buildings, not only the facades but all doors, windows, roofs and other details, and share them again. I hope doing it properly this time, because it's a bit frustrating  to repeat all the process. However, I'm very pleased for your interest in my buildings and I hope to release a good product at the end with all your help (that means that if I have to repeat it again to improve the result, I'll do, beacuse I'm a bit perfectionist).

What I want to know is if the school looks ok, or I have to make it grayer too, because I think it looks dark and gray enough... Perhaps only the roof, I don't know...
