E.F.F. Command Centre

Well, just back from online gaming and studying, then I decided to make a building during spare time. Hope I have enough time to make a full set building of Earth Federation Force~

Most parts of this building are from the design of the Australian base in Gundam 0083, and some are from Gundam 08th MS Team, just mashed them up lol.

I still hate making 3D-->2D-->SHP, just too complex..

LOL, Zeon style building maybe hard to make, cuz they always hide inside mountain or underground Laughing

Looks like it could do with a lot higher contrast.

Not bad IMO simple model+simple texture color control quit balance. only problem is seem like you render with "area" not "catmul-rom" which make youre sprite blur.

base from their MS and vehicles design Zeon architecture should be green and curve compare to federation.

[while Important building or unit may use red color :p ]

I like the general design really because of what you based it on, but some angles seem oddly shifted (I know that it can't be if you made it from 3D, but it still SEEMS so for some reason) and the windows could do with better texture.

I do remember the Zabi's house/Zeon GHQ in MSG being some pointy "legion of evil" looking building

I don't think that the issue is contrast in and of itself, but rather a lack of self shading. Is that maybe disabled in your renderer? I only see cast shadows.

Notice how in yours the SW and SE facings seem to have the same light? I artificially darkened the SE facings in the attached image to give you a look at what I mean, gives it more dimensionality and contrast. The cast shadows got darkened a little as well, to prevent the two from conflicting.

Hope this was helpful, good luck!

Oh, Thanks! What I used is the sun light, 2 of them. Maybe it is the reason that both SW and SE has same level of brightness.
