So I am working on a map that will have a lot of blocked-out buildings (Buildings that are decorations and cannot be walked into) and so far I’ve made one but I am not too happy with the windows and would like some feedback on it. I am trying to keep the part count low so that’s one of the reasons I feel they don’t look the best. Is there a better way to make windows that would look better? The windows I have now are 3 parts each, I thought about using a decal which would end up being a total of 1 part which would be better, but I can’t seem to find any good decals.
Something simple like that you can make easily with getpaint.net or possibly your computers default drawing program.
If you know the exact ratio of your decal size to your top building part you can make a single decal for the long and short sides of that box that does all the windows on each side. This would be 1 large brick Part with 4 decals (2 long and 2 short).
I don’t think I could make a window look good through a painting program, I rather use Roblox’s resources that are provided in studio or an already-made decal. I don’t think I could make decals that look better than the current windows that I am using.
So here’s another option (I’m only considering the big block on the top of the RH section:
Currently you have 12 +14 windows each side.
Double that for 4 sides.
x 7 for the # of floors
x 3 for parts per window
Add 1 for the brick section
Equals 1092 parts just for that big top section.
Now think of this:
Put vertical Brick Parts between the window spaces on both sides (cross them so they reach either side and top to bottom).
11 + 13 Parts
Add 4 corner vertical squares top to bottom.
+4
Now put in the horizontal floor Parts and make them just slightly larger than the first ones you put in.
+8
Now add vertical and horizontal black Parts for each window, but make them full size rectangles, just inset from the 1st Parts (make these reach all the way across and all the way down, and make them reach the other side of the building)
(14 x 2) for vertical frame Parts on the wide wall, + (12 x 2) for verticals on the narrow side.
Now add 3 per floor for the horizontal black window frame Parts.
(3 x 7)
Now add 1 ‘light’ cube. Inset from the frame Parts.
+1
This entire setup would only be 110 Parts and would look way more detailed with inset windows than your original that had the windows sticking out.
