Hello all, my current project is beginning to take shape, Its a McDonalds drive-thru with car park. I plan to model the interior as well (just the dining area and counter)

I've set myself a target of 20000 tris as I’m aiming for a more current gen (Xbox360, PS3) feel. At the moment I'm at around 12000 (darn greenery!)

Most textures are no bigger than 256x256 give or take a couple...:D

I plan to get the exterior finished over the next few days and start adding normal, specular, glossy maps to the model.



Attached is a couple of renders of the car park and bin sheds lit with a basic skylight and a few screen grabs of the overall model.



Comments, Crit and Suggestions are most welcome.



Thanks for looking!

Quick update, the extrior is nearly finshed, I just need to work a bit more detail into the front and around the drive thru windows.
I've also managed to get a load of photos for the interior, though it seems like a whole project in itself...
Eitherway, I want to get the extiror finished before I start the inside!

Oh, The building is based on my Local Mcdonalds in the UK.

Attached is the project so far...
Crits, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks for looking...

Neither, The one near the Showcase cinema. :)
The only real differences I've made are shortening the rear car park since it was a bit too big, changing the bin shed and adjusting the front area a little.
I've stuck to the building and drive thru area as best i can though. I'll attach some photos on my next update...

Almost done. Weighing in at around 17500 tris. The project was modeled in Max and all textures were done in Photoshop.
Attached is few newer renders and a comparison photo - forgive the lighting, I know very little when it comes to that and hope to learn alot more by the time I'm creating my final renders.
The whole idea of the project was that everyone knows what a McDonalds looks like so they can tell instantly if it looks like one or not...

Thanks for looking and for the comments so far folks!:)

More soon...

i'm liking the pavement and the dirt on it. the shrubs look nice, but the grass texture isn't to hot [maybe i'm seeing it from a bad angle].

i was about to say the arrows on the pavement are pointing the wrong way, but then i realized your in the UK...

looking great, can't wait to see the inside.

It's looking really good. As heavyness noted, the grass colour seems a bit off.

It reminds me of something from Red Alert 2. I think it's the camera angle and colours. Keep it up :)

Being from the US I couldn't help but think your Mc.Donald environment looked weird such as the drive through and parking space lines but upon looking at your reference I am wrong. Looking great. I agree on whats been said about the grass.
