    What's this building missing?

    I'm almost ready to export this and upload it, but I wanted to run it past the OR community for comments/suggestions first. I've got a few little details in mind, perhaps a front walkway/parking area, and ?

    Nice Work!!, what does the night version look like...might be interesting to have only some windows lighted or exterior lights at the eaves...am I going a little overboard here? Anyway, good craftsmanship, pleasing to the eye.

      To be honest, Gerry, I hadn't really planned for night textures for this one. It's my first building project (digitally, that is. I've been building and maintaining actual buildings for 30+ years) so I chose to do a 9-5 Mon.-Fri. office type block just so I didn't have to deal with extra emission textures my first go. It's intended to face away from the tracks, as well, so that's where all the detail's going. I'm thinking I can even forego winter textures on this one since the black roof would melt clean and there aren't any prominent ledges for snow to accumulate on.

      I hope it comes out this good looking when exported. . .

        How about a sidewalk along the front. Even if it is facing away from the tracks there will still be times it could be seen from the front while using an outside camera view.
        Just a thought.

          Should I include that with the building? I considered it, but then I figured if someone were using it on a route, they'd have their own sidewalks to place so they all match, and if I put one it'd just be in the way.
