What colorset did you use?

Colten · February 05, 2009, 03:27:10 PM

Interior sucks and is very spammy.
Exterior is awesome though.

Spammy?

Exterior is pretty nice, but yes, the interior is rather unpleasant. Try making the ceiling just one big plate rather than many different plates, as they add a strange texture which is unnatural and causes it to look bad. The floor is a good idea. Another suggestion is to make the interior objects a different color that contrasts to the walls and ceiling, rather than one that blends. This way it sticks out more and then it will look more pleasing to the eyes. Remember, sometimes simplistic is better than trying to be complex.

Overall good job.. And.. How can you live with such low framerates? That would drive me crazy only getting 10-13fps on a single build.

I think I like it... It's just hard to look at.

I used a similar technique to what Sirrus did for the ceiling of his Empire tower.
Also, if I had more money I would get a better video card.

I still do not know what you mean by spammy.

Bustos · February 05, 2009, 09:58:10 PM

I like it.

The ceiling is good the way it is. If you place one huge plate on top, its just kinda boring looking. This gives it a cool "luxorius" antique kinda look.

I think what they mean by spammy is that pretty much the windows and booths are duped.
But its a bank. Not every loving think is going to be unique. Some things are suppose to be repetitive and symetrical. Etc.

What Trash man said about the interior makes sense, about the blending part. You should try it out, although it looks pretty good the way it is.

I especially like the floors and colors you used in the build. What set is it? The Chandelier is well done. I like the crystal.

The ceiling looks neat, but it makes it too busy. The floor is awesome.

Robo Noob · February 05, 2009, 10:11:12 PM

Agreeing with colten

Messes · February 05, 2009, 10:18:44 PM

The exterior is really good. The interior is good too but the ceiling looks kinda spammy.

Thanks so much!
The colorset is Ethan's Colorset V2.
I want to let you guys know that for the ceiling I used the technique of what a building in my area has, an older historic building. That was the look I was going for with this bank, older, cluttered, cozy look.

For the floor, I put tiles down then left a one-brick gap then put a clear floor overtop. Was quite hard to fit perfectly, but looks good.

Interior... is very spammy.

You obviouly don't know the difference between "spam" and "detail".
Detail is when you use little bricks to achieve a very specific look that you cant achieve with normal bricks, like wall murals done from pixel art, or various ramps and rounds to create complex machinery.
Spam is when you use little bricks to achieve a specific look that you can achieve with normal bricks, such as people who make walls out of 1x1x5's instead of 12x1x5's.
