This is certainly not my first model...

it is, however, the first one that i have shared with you guys.
as it is a relatively simple model, I would like any critiques that apply.

it didn't seem to post my render.

hehe, love this show.

Nice model. No crits. Do you plan on texturing it?

looks great man, you better texture it :p

you should share more! even if it's bad these dudes always have good dtuff to say :beer:

A nice model , i have a couple things that jump out at me that you might want to look at .Firstly on the side you have a balcony but there doesnt seem to be any access to it so not sure what its purpose is. Second are those wondows above the balcony ? if so they dont seem to be transparent and also im not sure they should be arched but maybe round if you are going for an express train look .
This is just a preference thing but i think the down pipe on the right should be a slightly smaller diameter.
A good model though ..i like it .

@jsprogg, Those "windows" above the balcony are meant to be arched. I think they're actually the access points to the balcony.

Here's a pic of the building. It's from the show futurama.

Mayaniac...sorry my bad i didnt know it was from a show ...thought it was an original design. I have to say though that they dont look arched on the picture you posted ..hehe

Better view...

yeah more of a rounded arch than a pointed church like one in the model and a door to the balcony ;) .

You are talking about the ones on the balcony right?

yes ..in the pic they are a rounded flattened arch but in the model they are more gothic .

Ah, yeah, I see. It's just where s/he's rounded off the glass instead of making it flat. I see what you were talking about.

Taking a look at the reference images I posted, I also thing the banister around the balcony is too tall.

sorry i did not specify this was not an original work. I suppose I thought everyone knew of futurama.

@mayaniac and acid44...thanks.. and i love that show too.

@jsproggi - I see what you are saying about the window arches
a couple of things account for this.
1. I simply did not collect enough reference materials
2. The windows in question were the last touch before posting (hehehe)

but i will fix them.

I do plan on texturing, but as i am a husband, father, primary revenue outlet, and college student (unrelated field), I am not going to be quick getting it done.

do you guys think i should do more of a realistic texturing or stick with the toon style of texturing as illustrated by the picture mayaniac supplied?

-Rick

Dont forget the door onto the balcony ;) If it were me i would stick to the toon style as its a known piece of work.

yes ok.. i will do the door... but keep in mind that door is on the "back side" of the model from the perspective that i originally rendered
