Not nearly as flashy as some of the

What is this if i may?

Auschwitz

[fossil dew]

Not Auschwitz lol its one of the camp buildings from wake island

Better reference photo

[flat kiln]

Still very neat

[fossil dew]

Thanks!

[dry igloo]

ohh, you making a map of wake island?

[flat kiln]

What we really need are mods of buildings, props, and building compositions
A shit ton of modeled buildings with interiors and stuff so that terrain makers can go ham with prefabs

Think CUP Terrains from Arma 3 and how pretty much every modded map used it

[fossil dew]

I'd like to, but the shear amount of objects needed for it to be accurate is pretty staggaring. Its something I like to work on in my free time, but realistically wouldn't get anywhere close to completion anytime soon

[dry igloo]

Yeah true true

i wanted to learn pacific vegetation and such which is what my little tree models were for learning but it'll take me time

[fossil dew]

Oh yeah of course, best of luck on that. Even this model I made is far from perfect. Both of us just gotta be plugging away

[fossil dew]

In time reforger/Arma 4 will get there. I remember the slow drip in the early days of Arma 3. But I'm in agreement with you. Once packs of props, vegetation, and statics come out, map diversity will sky rocket

[dry igloo]

its a great start though, way better than any of my attempts at buildings

you can actually tell yours is a building and not a minecraft starter home

[wispy briar]

for a first attempt at modeling its not bad at all, most peoples first models look like macaroni art. you have the right mindset with making the side structures with prefabs. the roof on those should be one mesh however that way you don't have the noticeable line, should also have shading which is not really needed for basic shapes but would help with that roof or other shallow angles

[fossil dew]

Do you mean this portion? If so, I was just trying to copy the angled roof I can see in the photo. I'm also not sure what you mean by shading? Could you elaborate? I do appreciate feedback

Also to clarify, the roof is a separate mesh. The 2x4 and metal portion are all one mesh

[wispy briar]

the wood doesn't have to be one mesh. its harder to work with if its one giant mesh.

this is how shading is done

[fossil dew]

Ohhh nice I see what you mean, I'm going to look into that

@flat kiln I can start a community mod for props if anyone is interested.

[flat kiln]

Well of course!
