i supose you could say its a modern building, those don't need chimneys. its all central heating.

Yeah i suppose so, dunno though, i always feel buildings look odd without chimneys..

But what if there is gas cook (pretty popular) and\or gas water heater (for hot water)?

That's right, connection of roof parts is odd and doesn't look nicely.

Take a look at the attachement

wouldn't you be better off having some kind of tile or slate texture for the roof? you might also want to consider a flat roof with a small brick wall around the outside?

Messed around with Blender last night and the result is..

Apologies to dmc for stealing his grass, tiles and concrete textures

Although saying that I think we should have a set texture list in a .blend file for the basics and then people can add their own... it would help keep some kind of similarity between the graphics if there are multiple people contributing.


*edit: Added the blend file for both mine and dmc flats... Sorry have to keep them togther as if i spit them up the textures on my building go all wrong..??*

I think, that windows textures are wrong. they look like painted on the walls

Might I suggest you alter the roof one more time?

Ah yeah, forgot to change it, it is still the same as before!!

The windows do kind of look like they are stuck on...

What about a flat roof?

New building (not finished) width: 1 tile, depth: 2 tiles

Looks very nice

Nice work. I like the glass. Some suggestions.

The top to have a lift core room (just a rectangle in the middle perhaps)
The roof to be set in, ie so people could walk around the top - servise people. Maybe even a pool on the roof?
At ground level, a portico or some sort of entry to the building. And I think as some people has said in the past, something happen at ground level - like planter boxes, post boxes, table/chairs/unbrella's maybe.

Hope that helps

Oh, I'm an urban designer with some architectural background (ie 3 yr uni) and I can model some ideas in ArchiCAD if that helps anyone. But I have no idea on Blender though.

that is very cool

Dmh_mac, if you have MSN (do i have your name) or was it you who didn't have it.

it would be awsome to discuss some things with you, and then you can go for gold and feel pretty comfortable in your work being ready for the game.

Alltaken

Some research on windows required. For now windows look like drawn on the walls

Looks like SimCity 4.

Looks great IMO

I'm not sure where to find this. But what's the real world size of one tile? Is it about 25mx25m?

Depends if you talk about buildings, trains, busses, aircrafts, or ships...
