Thank you very much for the comments, I have always frequented this site since I read about it in 3D World magazine, never really had the nerve to put stuff up here till recently, I did not think I would get any views hence no tags and no real title to this model.
Unfortunately I only did this on my spare time so there is not a more complete version, but will upload more models next year and will perhaps complete this one too.
Also I will make all my models available in .obj with all textures available for download (including this one at a later date), I know neither my models or texturing is perfect, but I know that personally I learnt a lot from downloading and observing other people’s work, so if my work helps others, well then that would make me very happy.

It took a about 3 days to make, the model was the simplest part made that in one day easy, the only hassle came from uv unwrapping and the texture creation/baking. I am on a very old computer so baking textures using 3D studio max was a bit of a pain, computer couldnt do anything while it was processing that and it took ages. Thankfully I have discovered Xnormal and its AO tool does a lot of the same but takes a lot less time, thats how I created the soft shadows on the “Creepy the Snowman” texture

Loading ... Please wait...
If this is just a test, I can’t wait to see the whole thing. It’s very well done.

you should make thee whole building
If you made this in your spare time, how long did it take to make it (usually only takes a few seconds to make model like that in Shape)?
