Skin is just a few images from actual photographs copied and pasted just to get a idea of what goes
where, it will need the attention of a good artist to do something decent.

"Let it be", phototex from real looks naturally    

Yes I agree, trouble with photographs though is that the colour can vary quite considerably
depending on what the weather and lighting was like at the time the image was captured.

I use parts of net images more to give a indication of where certain things are placed because
this helps me scale things when I have no actual scale drawing as is the case with each of the
buildings so far, hopefully once released one of our master texture artists might produce something
more appropriate.


Here I had tidied up the texture for the main building block and placed the windows:





I think it looks okay so far and now that is done I can move on to mapping the other parts.



Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

I agree.  That looks great!

I agree.  That looks great!

Glad you like things so far vonofterdingen.


More of the roof is now done so it is beginning to look a little more like the photographs:





Take care.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Hello again guys, just a quick update.


The main block now has all texture mapping done, rear block here:






Work has begun on the front:




The entrance next and then finally the turrets.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

That's a work of art Pete, keep up the good work!

That's a work of art Pete, keep up the good work!

Nice of you to say so Costas, thank you very much, really appreciated.


Sadly my artistic abilities let me down so I rely much on copy paste from real images, however, I think
it will do until a decent artist can take a look.

Just a little more, small building at the front:





Take care.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[Mission_bug]

And just a little more.





Just two towers to map now essentially, the one above the entrance and just one of the small towers
as I will just clone that to make all three.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Hello again guys, finally the texture mapping is done.





Now to join all the parts and get it into the sim to see how it looks.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Just marvellous !!!

Just marvellous !!!

Glad you like it Ivan.

..what about black metal roof? in modern photo (am had show early) the NEW roof, non history.  All roof must looks like on the corner & central turrets, non metal. sorry..

I can add a older looking tiled roof Toobone no problem, merely a re-paint of the texture in the roof area.


That would of course represent the Cathedral through the ages, however, Ivan might also require the modern roof as well for the later version of the Transcaucasia map so I would then have to provide two named versions of the Cathedral and that could make for a lot of duplicated objects, maybe a second set of textures might be in order to allow users a choice of old or new for their game.  


Anyway, here you go, first in game images:

 







Looks okay I think.


Take care.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

I managed to remove some of the shinny areas and add my version of roof tiles.




Not sure exactly the type of tiles this building would have had or the colour but it is a start.


Hopefully one day our great community texture artists might put this on their to do list.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
