If you want to make your billboard sign much more older and beat-up, I would look into a SurfaceGui. They offer flexibility when creating three-dimensional signs.

Adding filters like vignette and dust patterns can give your billboard much more character. You can also adjust its’ brightness which gives it a sort of “backlit” appearance (must have some sort of vignette to see the effect). But you should experiment with this!

But since you’re focused on your parking lot, I would add some broken cars or trash bags.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Your area looks great so far, whether you’re looking to make this feel more alive or blend it all together I’ve got the pointers for you:

Lighting

While the area is rural, it’s important to match the lighting with the surroundings.
For example you seem to have a lot of greenery and little to no pollution, to match that aesthetic I would introduce

Bright Lighting

  • Little to no clouds
  • Bright sunny day
  • Warm orange and blue ambience

but if you’re going for a gloomy look you could consider the following pointers

Gloomy

  • Dark blue ambience
  • Grey/Blue dense clouds
  • Close visual ambient fog

And there are other options depending on the aesthetic you’re going for of course.
but all of them will require a good atmosphere to blend them all together.
below I left a few samples to look through, I use skyboxes from Atmos and apply my own lighting.

if you ask me, I’d always tell you that lighting is key in every scene/game you’re making!

Scene props

If you’re happy with the current lighting that’s perfectly fine, here are some pointers to assist you with the building process of the scene.

Clean Options:

  • Higher street light poles
  • Parked cars
  • Shrubs and bushes

Messy options:

  • Discarded newspaper
  • Building Rubble
  • Broken/Collapsed street lights
  • Bus Stops

I believe there is nothing wrong with the current building you have, but those are just some extra options for you to chose from. Depending on the parking lot usage you can add to to it depending on that purpose. eg… Parking Meter.

Hope this helped, let me know if you’d like more help or if this is not what you’re looking for. :+1:
