Victorian House Part IV: Texture
After a brake of 2 weeks I continued a bit on the texture of the house. As suggested I heightened the contrast of the textures a bit but I will finish it, when the normal map is added. There weren’t much changes in the model except some details on the steps and on the chimney.

New Environment Artwork
Because of the release of Wildlife Park 3 I updated my current 2D / 3D Art section. I added a selection of buildings to the environment area and added another animal used in WLP3. There will be another update coming soon with the focus on charters. Have fun!

Wildlife Park 3: buildings
Today is the release of Wildlife Park 3. I did a lot of buildings, all human characters and some variations of the animals. This article will focus mainly on the buildings and show some images during the development of the game. To present the models I chose to do in-game screen shots because shader and lightning look much nicer than in the 3d package.
One of my main tasks was to develop a modular system. It enabled us to produce as many assets as possible in a short amount of time and keeping a clean and common style. The textures of the buildings should look nice, clean and brand new. The player should be enabled to customize the buildings to enable him to individualize his park. Special visitor buildings like voliere and aquarium needed an upgrade system and they should distinguish from all other buildings. The upgrade system was never implemented in the code and the small and medium versions of the buildings were gone.
I hope you enjoy these screen shots and have fun playing the game! As preview for my next article on Wildlife Park 3 I added a image of the gorilla baby. You will get a closer look to the visitors and staff of WLP 3.

Victorian house – Part III: Texture
I continued working on the texture and I want to share my first results. As you can see there is still a lot of work to be done. As pointed out the house isn’t looking very Victorian, but I hope you still enjoy it 
. Unfortunately I can’t rename the thread.
I want to point out a view details. I changed the corner of the plinth on the ground floor. They were much to massive and broke the line on the base apart. Except for the roof there is still the distortion of the model missing but I want to add them as one of the final touches. For a test I added here and there some extra boxes for some of the stones. With a view cuts I added some depth to some of the top roof tiles. I think they add a nice detail to the silhouette. There are still the normal maps and specular maps missing. I will add them when the colour and the model is working.
