You could make a 10 peace set of streetsings alone. There must be more then 100 different types of streestings in the world (just nameboards allone). they all have different designs & manufacturers & producton methods & production dates that give them their unique appearance. Make shure you're have some good
reference pic's before you start, otherwise you're likely to end up with a moddel that is only a lookalike. It's nice to have a moddel pack containing different versions of a same object. For each of the streetsign designs moddeled you can make differnt kinds of textures.
here are some Ideas
# not so hard
- streetsings that can te attached to a pole
- stand alone streetsings showing directions
- stand alone streetsings showing streetnames
- roadblocks signs,
- those cones they put up at construction works
# advanced:
- streetsigns on a metal rig line the ones you find of freeways.
- street sings that are deformed by wind.
- street sings that are deformed by carcrash (need some kind of metal and stripped away paint).
hope this is helpfull.
[edit] One more suggestion. Before you start modeling, take a moment to solve wat details you will be moddeling, or be bumpmaping or be skipping.
