Ben: This is your camera setting, whitch you send me. It is better
But your light setting is unusable for me, because it is more bright!!! Can you get some basic setting for 3DS MAX on wiki page???
And I make new model - Bakewell Luckett LB80. But it is still uncoplete.

A really nice plane. But the surface of the U52 is too smooth. Hugo Junkers constructs his first aero planes with a platting of corrugated iron, which makes the hole construction stiffer. If you look at this site, you can see the corrugated platting:

Yes, you have true, but I'been thinking, that it is nicer. And I think, that needn't be so much realistic??!

I think your planes are great. In game that sort of details aren't noticable anyway, I think. The white material might mirror too much though.

ZxBiohazardZx: Build the model in its most basic form to start with, and make up a model out of a few basic cubes. Then recreate that over all shape with the amount of polys based on how many you think you will need for the main body shape. Then extrude and model all the elements. Then gradually add detail making it more complex layer by layer.
problem is i suck @ blender atm, im doing A LOT of " n00b to pro" stuff, but sometimes i really dont understand/see what they want me to do:P adding im not really a person who likes to draw A LOT, i just love to see all your work and im trying to do something myself:P

Wacki, The Max light set up is done so that the darkest and lightest colours are all posible, as well as being as close to the blend renders as posible. (I think its set to the latest .blend lightsetup..I'll check it again) You need to set The Maps Outputs RGB Level lower. I would suggest about 0.3
If your not shore where that is, its in the material editor, Go to the maps, and go to diffuse. Its in the Drop down Output Menu.

Here's my HQ3 for now.
To do:
- Add grass to the big square.
- Texture the windsock and its pole.
- Add furniture inside building.
Suggestions and feedback are welcome. For today, this is it:

my suggestion would be to try and find better textures for it. my first impression was like "woah prison" - right now the building has a quite hostile feel to it, not really like anything the player would identify with.

Looks like building from Fallout game
IMO original grass square looks much better than this bunker concrete. It need's some colours really

It looks cool! I´ll look forward to the finished work.
But one minor point:
Shouldn´t there be the wall visible trough the window?
As if the building has only it´s front walls.
I marked it with red where I think it´s a see-trough building.

I use 3ds max 9.
Yes guys, I know it looks all like bricks and concrete now, but that is because, SURPRISE, it IS all brick and concrete right now!
But as robotboy pointed out so eloquently, the grass will be on there. The grass will make a LOT of difference.

That's just the lighting. The wall is there, as you can see in the attachment.
Question: As this is an HQ, it should, of course, have a teamspecific colour right? Colouring the whole roof seems so out of place and drastic. Mind if we switch to the windsock for the company colour?

You should apply more bump/displacement on the wall so that it has 'single' bricks instead of a 'flat' wall. Same as all the materials, you need to apply bump/displacement map to make it looks real. I am the user of Max 8 for quite a long time, so I know almost everything about that.
Thanks

Just a little suggestion: why not have a limousine parked outside - perhaps a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, or something, that is done in the company colour. It will then stand out quite clearly, whereas the flag may be a little small.
Another idea is to have the window trim in company colour, and perhaps a sign board at the entrance.
I like the dull look to it - very much a transport depot office building of circa 1950-60.

Remember that when fully zoomed out, the color must still be visible
Maybe add a entrance fench in company colors or something

I've also been using Max 8 quite some time myself and Max 9 is not that much different.
I also feel bump mapping is not quite necessary, as the model will eventually be a mere sprite, and shadows will only make the edges more visible. I will probably add bump mapping near the end of the modeling process, as to save rendering time.

That is a very good idea, actually. The Rolls should also bring some life into the scene. I am not good at modeling Rolls Royces, though.

Perhaps a car like that for the largest HQ. A cheaper car would work for stage three.
