Modelling with 3d max. Noob needs advice)

[Danzel]

Good people of the Imperium, I bid you well!

I'm making my first attempt at mapping and, as I usually do, I started with something if not epic, then at least pretty difficult for a starter.
The terraining goes well, the modeling not so well, though I'm trying.

At the present moment I'm attempting to make a modern building.


I'm asking to give me some advice on the further processing of the model OR give links to the appropriate tutorials. Maybe I have missed something.

Thanks in advance

I think it's fine currently; Warcraft III doesn't support really fancy stuff. Just make a texture in a painting software, e.g. Photoshop, add some windows (others with light, others without) and apply it via the Material Editor. You will first need to UV Unwrap it. Search google, containing those two keywords.

depends on what kind of modern building you want to make.

Following Pharaoh's advice made a texture (my very first attempt at texturing and the first thing I've done in Photoshop besides some minor photo changes). Not sure about the quality.


Something like this combined with the model above. In the map it would be a newspaper agency of sorts (that is if I finish it and get a hold on how to do everything else; haven't tried to model or do triggering yet).
