i have just finished modelling the main building ive learned that modular building this piece has speeded up my workflow  on this project, the next step is to optimize the building as efficiently as possible, which is the easy bit :) once that is done i will combine the piece and merge the verts so that there is no seems when reconstructing in udk, its coming along in due time, i chose to model the window frames on the windows i know that adds more polys but it will save texture space as i can use tileable textures instead of a unique texture space for the windows.

ok  ive managed to building the main modular pieces, what i will do next is make sure everything snaps nicely to the grid so it aligns better i will have to merge some pieces like the front 45 degree angle
as it will need some bevelling to catch the lighting

so far its coming along nicely im learning some more and building things in modular pieces is increasing my speed in making pieces







next step is=
-snap to grid
-create unique pieces
-optimize- so far is way to high but its faster to add in detail than having to optimize first then add detail
-unwrap 
-building some high poly pieces to bake
- texture (the fun bit!!!))

i've decided to put the sci fi scene on hold, as i have decided from the interviews and feedback from the industry pros is that for a junior environment artist, making buildings  is key so i have have gathered 6 different types or buildings with interesting shapes, to make myself better and faster, with each piece offering challenges it should be hopefully make me a lot better and increase my chances of landing a junior artist role.

this is the first of the 6 buildings to make i have decided to highlight the main modular pieces, i know there are more pieces but im trying to tackle the hard bits first

ive created the front side, and duplicated one side of each piece, just as place holders to visualize how it will look at the end, next step is to make the side modular pieces and that will be half the battle done, then add the unique pieces and begin uving
