I had some fun playing around, but the placement tools are really kind of coarse, in that fine, precise placement of multiple buildings (up into the hundreds or thousands along with streets, driveways, etc) would be a monumental and very tedious task

What a tiny little Panzer. 

Actually, the empire state building is a little bigger than it should. I'll fix it, but also I'll add reflections on the windows when a have some free time.

Pago.. I have this image http://i2.minus.com/iOWm6rClTgt07.jpg in my collection and don't know who posted it or when. You are the guy to talk to about military vehicles was this yours?

 ... that would be some 1+ year ago ( http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=1337.msg19356#msg19356 ) just as you got the hearth-attack it seems. Think you planned to kill some people for getting ya hands on it too ( http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=1723.msg19206#msg19206 ).   Doe, would be nice to see something new about the SdKfz 234 (WWII german 8-wheel transporter shown a whiiiiiiiiile back) or the scenery project too. Im sure those guys still work a little on them in free time piece by piece like the Germans on the Focke-Wulf ...

P.S.: --  Doesnt seem too much off scale. Nice work (hope GTA guys dont mind) importing those ! Reflections are neat, cant wait to see a all-glass building at dawn whyte environment reflections on them there. For the placement, maybe Cameni has something in store for it when vector-data road placement will be on turn.

Nice! I really like the fidelity of the models!
Btw, have you ever thought of importing models from Google Sketchup's 3D warehouse? That's my source of models for my recreation of GMU and Atlantic City. And since most of the buildings were used in Google Earth, they are already to scale

Hi!
To be honest, i don't really like the models from Google Sketchup's 3D warehouse, how to say it... they aren't professionally modelled, and the textures neither, not really High fidelity on there. And about the scale, i don't have any trouble with the scale anymore, all the models imported from GTA IV are at the same and right scale and i don't have to scale them manually.

The GTA models are looking great!

Do you know by chance what the average frame rate is with that many buildings on your system?
I have been trying recently to bring OT to a crawl by placing hundreds of mercenaries on a small area.

  but he is right in asking this question, sooner or later, we will want to "approach" as much as possible the realistic modern world with many man made stuff...
I cannot imagine a flight simulator without flying over villages, medium and gigantic cities...

I have been playing with the different textures (roughness, reflectance...) on a test model today. Then i looked back at your model of the ESB i saw that it could use a roughness texture for the windows. So i just made a quick roughness texture from ns_empire_window01.dds (top left corner of the pic) and i set the roughness to 0.9. I left a couple of rows of windows as they were so you can see the difference. It makes quite a difference when there's a reflection.

It definitely looks way better if there's a rougness texture. Note that the first four models(Empire State Bulding; mmHotel; dStore; nypSkip) posted here, where imported from blender which i used them in Unity 3D few years ago, so they had no specularity map or/and normal map applied (except nypSkip that it has normal maps). And that's why i'll re-import them, but also because of their scale, are a bit larger/bigger than they should. So i'll use the original spec (rougness) maps and normal maps, to avoid having to create those textures by hand.

It shouldnt be too much work. All you need to draw is the countour of the window (on a layer), then invert and tone down the original texture image. In this one i add contrast in the inverted image to make reflection texture in the concrete more apparent. Also for the frosty window i just made it more gray than for the clear window (which are black in the roughness texture). Dont think you need normal maps for these one. Again here, to have this effect, roughness have to be set around 0.9

Everything here is sexy.

Hi M7!
Yay! What you did there looks much better. I already made some textures with the windows black and the rest totally white, but about adding tone and contrast to the inverted image, i was far away and yes, I probably don't need normal maps there. Thanks for the tips M7, because I'm not an expert and much less on creating textures
