Feedback Police Station

Building Feedback?
Hi there! My little brother don’t have access to post on tthe dev forum yet, so I post this for him. He’s 8 and made his first building today, he wants some feedback on how he can improve it.
This’ the building, it’s a little police station.

(I scripted it for him)

Woop, woop! That’s the sound of the police!

Anyways, nice build!

Could need some realistic textures here and there.
It looks like a claustrophobic box in my perspective. Maybe you could stretch it so it doesn’t look like a cube box.

That is amazing! I really love the development, but I recommend having a icon so people know where it is.

Oh, good idea to give it costum textures, so you mean that he changes the shape?

It’s very difficult for me to see, but it’s a nice build anyway!

Here are some tips:

  • Add a variety of shapes instead of just one box.
  • Use materials and colours in a more realistic way, I suggest searching some on the internet or your local police department.
  • Use an R6 Rig for size reference, to scale down the building and make it feel a tad more realistic.
  • Interior, add like a locker room, a few offices, interrogation room, etc.

Overall nice build, but could be improved alot, I am sure your brother will get the hang if it!

Hi, it looks great for his age, but it can always be improved! I would consider adding some more shapes to it, meaning like more depth. You know how do windows are typically in-set into walls and stuff, that kind of thing always helps. I would also consider making the doors smaller, and perhaps changing the color of the building.

It looks great, however you should improve few things. Keep in mind I am not a builder. Here is an example:

  1. First is properly sized building with matching colors
  2. Second is out of size building with not matching colors

So what can you do?

  1. Try to resize police station a bit to lower size, so it doesn’t look 10x bigger than a character
  2. Play around with colors, try to find matching colors

I am not expecting you to build perfectly, however if you practice a lot, you will get better at building, and one day I believe you can be a professional builder. Good Luck with your future builds!

The second building was actually how I was building at the begging.

There’s little detail put into this, considering the surrounding buildings have no detail whatsoever than the police station. I know for a fact he can do better than this. As well I don’t think you’re allowed to post for non devforum members.

The building in general is very small compared to a real life police station. This is especially noticeable in the shape of the building, you have where you can see other buildings have a second part or a large straight shape connected to it. Adding a More proper door and different types of shapes to the build a bit would be a good way of making the station have a more of a realistic feel, I would recommend re-sizing the building down a bit at the moment it kinda has a blocky approach to it.

I feel like he can do better by using reference images as a guide when creating these types of builds the roof could use some work maybe consider placing a helicopter pad, but I imagine this would add a nice addition to the place.

Hello everyone! Thanks for everyone that responded! My brother said he will improve the things you guys said!

yes so it looks more detailed.

Honestly not bad for his first ever build at the age of 8. I didn’t know how to open the toolbox in studio for a week, haha. I’d like to point out the fact that he misspelled department, but other than that, he did a decent job for his first build and that if he takes his time on it, he will get better over time for sure.

I think the building its self is really good, I do suggest you include more additions to the station and make it a bit wider.
