Sandman300 - sept/oct

took me a little while to start up. The idea that I'm going for is Suburbia Apocalypse. First step is to build the before environment (just before the end), Then I dirty it up a bit:p then just see where the chaos takes me.

This is the first of the houses. I designed it according to memories of my childhood home.

mirroring selectively creates the duplex effect.

Beauty is a blossom,
If you want to get your finger bit...

I like the way this building is coming out, can't wait to see it become a neighborhood. Keep up the good work

Thanks I appreciate the comment. Once I have the UV done, I can use the first house as a template and modify each one slightly to give it its own character.

It's been a few days since I worked on it. Been lazy really. So I'm getting things done.

Nice progress so far,

Have you got any reference pictures your working from? to get kind of an idea of how you're going to do it or all by mind?

The street I am basing this on, is in Allentown Pa.
Strangely enough I'm working from memory. I'm sure I took some artistic license. I think the place (which I haven't seen in aboit 15 years) has changed somewhat. If I find a pic I'll post it.

Things will start to come together and make more sence soon.
