Looking forward to them. It looks like you're making a store - what language will the sign be in? French, English, Portuguese?

Thanks for comments.

i've all most finished texturing the old church.

what do yous think, should i darking the texture or leave it as is?  

is it just me or anyone else feel like texturing takes longer than making the model it's self

I've got a few suggestions on improving the textures.

Homogenizing the colour, tile them, create a new layer, use some soft brush with 30 - 60 % opacity in a colour of choice and then add some weathering effects (to break up the uniformity, much like camo does), using smaller brushes to add detail where necessary. Experiment with combinations of different colours and brushes. Noisify slightly if you wish to break up the pattern even more. Create another alpha layer to add irregularities to the shading, if you wish.

Just tweak the alpha of the layers to get the result you want.

And if you can create a layer for chipped off sections of the wall (copy and paste, soften the edges or lower the alpha).

Just play around and experiment, it's quite easy to get a good result, in fact,it is hard to mess up really bad. I myself find texturing more fun than modelling.

Thanks for your advice, i'll have a go at it, but i'm not very good with photoshop yet.

but i may as well start learning soon'er rather than later.

I'll post my results after, what ever they may be.
