    the texture are great, You maybe need a better lightmap..You can use mental ray to create better lightmap

    try this... it works on my XXL, dummy mod is in T2 offices
    Code:
    https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByEjZ0haD1UJcmRrOF8tajBmRVk&export=download
    I think You need to re-unwrap the L3 2nd channel, some huge polys use only like 1pixel texture, that will create bad lightmap

    I made some fixes and improvements for you, are you satisfied with this buildings that got my touch?

    What I actually done was:
    -new lightmaps for L1, L2, L3
    -improved illumination texture
    -fixed smoothing
    -adjusted wrong L4 position
    -baked new L4 texture

    And it works well in game:

    Yeah, I used VRay. In my experience used 3 renderers: Default Scanline, Mental Ray, and VRay. VRay is the best. I don't know crashing reason actually, I simply prepared all files for packing as for any other building and after packing it works well in game.
    Usually my previous buildings crashed because of wrong naming in .class files, especially tied to dds icon.

    Soon I will upload archive of sgbin, max and texture files.

    Here's the link: fontanka 110 edited.rar

    BTW would you agree to include one more version of this building with red/brown roof? Of course I could provide modified sgbin too sometime soon. For European and especially Baltic old-towns ;)

    Then the problem is in other files, not sgbin.

    For fast ading to game, I used my 5 story building class file and just changed names.
    It worked okay under Unskilled-T3-Custom category

    Strange... Maybe your Viewer is corrupt.
    BTW, golden rule when exporting - after clicking export don't move camera in viewer and immediately save, this way you avoid pink bug.

    Model in your file was somewhat broken, so it was faster for me to mirror names and windows myself.

    Thx to, IcyHot, we can finally upload sgbins here
