The model looks very nice and we already know you can do a good job with textures.
So very promissing.

 

Really good mate. Cosy little house. Like the textures a lot.
May i ask what are those road textures?

 

nice house

 

Do you recall the name of the file?
I like the look of those ones too and the fact that concrete doesn't seem brand new.

 

Wow a nice little house paul! It's gonna a be a heck of a pack!
@luis diogo - I think that's most likely the alternative standart road by Alex

 

Thanks Peter. I don't think that one is uploaded here.
Anyway, i got a nice set for US roads between recent Timoft mod and Nogerivan's texture, close to RHM2. So i'm good.
If anyone can provide a link, that would be great tough.

Thanks very much Kipate!
I'll try this one.

 

Wow very impressive work Paul! Can't wait for those small houses

 

it works like reflection, specular and standard self illuminati, and it mapped to Opacity in max

 

Well here are the links for those tutorials in the meantime while the authors are 'migrating' them:

If you want transparent parts you need to make them as separate furniture objects/maps and add them as furnitures in you layout file. Refer to furniture specs guide as they dont need all maps, and the size of them is much smaller 256px I think, even smaller if you can fit them into a 128px
Also in max apply the shader - furniture_transparent_v1 .

 

if you dont want to make seperate furniture as per Nicko's suggestion above , you can overlay an opacity map over the entire diffuse, white being fully visible and black the parts you want to be transparent:

Here is the diffuse from the latest Moscow Pack building:



Here is the matching overlaid opacity map required to make the railings and lamp posts appear transparent. This technique i can be a massive triangle count saver!
