Well buildings aren't my thing, and iso is even less my thing, because iso buildings usually end up looking like what you have now: just a cube in iso format.

You could spruce it up by:

- adding texture to the one-color walls (is the building made out of a single sheet of nonreflective metal?)

- letting us see something happening through those windows

- adding spruces (or other scenery/etc around the place)

You have captured the essence of a modern office building -- a big ol' square. And it's as good a template as one could ask for =) now customize it a bit and make it cool =D

(adding more buildings around it will also make it cooler, but not if they are also undetailed boxes -- that's why I recommend making this building special before you add to your city).

There really isn't much to crit there; there's no lighting or details.  The thick highlight you've put on the one edge is nonsensical.  The first thing you should do is add some very broad lighting and shading to give it some depth, and then go ahead and jump into the details.

Helm: i really like yours, how you reused some colours and the window colours.

Br3ttieBoi: you should try to add some texture to it, how do you want to improve if you never try new stuff?

that building was really boring.
Helm's edit improved it a lot, but there usn't much going on there.
ever heard of Isocity by that KennethFejer (sp?) guy?i don't have a link, sorry, can someone give it to him?thanks.
put animations, people, animals, etc. lots of things can be made to make this building more interesting.and i mean you should do it. making the template is, what, 1/2, 1/4 of the work.trust me, you'll get better that way too. ;)

cheers.

Best tip I can give you is: do it yourself and then show us. It doesn't matter if it's terrible. You have to try to do it yourself, otherwise you are just telling other people what to draw.

Go try to improve the building, then post your best attempt, no matter how bad it is. =)
