First (ish) go at texturing

Hey people, here are some of my first(ish) proper go at applying textures to my meshes. I have applied a range of different effects from wood to water, bricks to stones. I have also tried using a cloud texture with a dark red to experiment with the effect. I have also tried to create a plastic "Monopoly" house look by changing the material to Lambert that is slightly reflective and changing the colour to a Matt finish. The style I prefeired most was the representative colour of the buildings in a block Matt colour (below). To make the water side building (grey building below)  roof reflective I changed its material to very reflective material to create a metal effect. As always please feel free to leave a comment, tip, suggestion or artistic criticism!

Texturing and colouring the crane for the WMC: 2020

Hey people, here is what I have tried for the crane. As the crane is supost to represent the WMC, I have tried to incorporate the logos colours of blue and yellow. I have also changed the materials of the matal frame of the crane to a very reflective material to try to create a metal effect. I decided to go with the last picture style as I felt it made the sillohuette of the crane stand out more copared to the other 3. but I decided to go with the black magnetic plate and silver for the wires.
As always please feel free to lease a coment, tip, suggestion or artistic critasisum!
