20 Time Update 07

Today I finished off the rectangular buildings; they all have their textures and materials (although I still need to set up a node system to make the "windows" glow).

Instead of painstakingly recoloring each building, I duplicated and resized the new one to fit each of the other buildings in the file.  I am fairly satisfied with the results, and I'll probably start work on the chutes (the various tube-things that lead from building to building) next week.

Un-20 Time Update

Unfortunately, I was unable to work on my 20 Time project today because I was editing articles for the school newspaper; if I have time to do so, I'll post an update tomorrow.

This week I continued to refine the textures of the buildings on the street.  The buildings have lots of vertices, which means that it takes longer to apply new materials to them, but I think I'm almost done with working on the first rectangular building:

Obviously the fans and the building base will need their own individual materials, so that's what I'll be working on next week.

20 Time Update 05

Today I continued to texture the street set.  It wasn't quite as easy as I had hoped - the textures tend to stretch when I use them on the large, rectangular buildings; it's going to need some adjustments and fine-tuning before I even try to move on the other structures.  For now, here's a render of my progress:

Next week I hope to finish the rectangular buildings (or at least fix the texture-stretching problem).
