Yep. There's the manual way, the curves deform "bend tool", you can also do it by nodes, and even using a lattice can make it easier.

It depends on the camera and what size you choose your rendered image to be Razz

Blades Blend file here on my announcement thread at renprojs does have the correct ra2 lighting and the camera size matched the way to want (those squares each equaling a 1x1 tile in ra2/yr)

ok I will get it, cause I'm trying to put together a new airport, but just out curiousity I tried to render this image and it seems like this image is way to big to fit into the camera range, I had to scale the entire building to fit into one of those squares in order to render it

is it the gaplug remake that i want over at rengen?

Ahh, now this makes more sense, Blades template shows the little squares as the 1x1 tile. Thanks MT.

Oh and by the way I love your buildings you got posted up over there, they are awsome!!!

Yes, IMO that would be the best way. If you want add me on MSN if you need more Blender help (PM ask for it).
