Description
Abstract: This is an ideal secondary school for your city! With high capacity and coverage!







Hey! Are you looking for a secondary school asset that will fit well in your city? If so, then you've come to the right place! This 1970s Hong Kong-ish school building has a very iconic mid-modernist facade. One of the highlights is that it can entertain a lot of students right in the middle of your city so that with just one building you can already provide good coverage for the area. So if it convinces you, click the subscribe button and try it yourself!



What? It can hold a thousand students?! Yep, that's how it works in real-life too! Consider the current situation in Hong Kong: 6 Grades (Y7-Y12) x 5 Classes Per Grade x 30 Students Per Class = ~1,000 Students. I know it does look big from the outside, so I guess most of you will also expect it to hold more students, like 2,000 or something. Just to remind you that although its size is thrice bigger than a primary school, it doesn't necessarily hold 3x the amount of students. Please consider that the subjects in Secondary Education often require the use of special classrooms, like the biology labs, physics labs, etc. That's why, even with the school size getting a lot bigger, it can barely hold more students.

If you want to know more about the design of public schools in Hong Kong, we've prepared a very informative page here[www.planetminecraft.com] on PlanetMinecraft that may interest you.




Architectural Style 建築風格
This asset presents you the very functionalist boxy complex that many public schools in Hong Kong were built of. To better describe style like this, we may use the these architectural terms: Modernism, Minimalism, Functionalism, International Style. Thanks to Le Corbusier who had formulated such a functional form for schools.

This asset is not necessarily an exact recreation of the real object. I made a lot of adjustment to make it suitable for use in-game (and because of my limited capability).

Texturing 材質
I just got the time to apply some simple and plain textures on this asset. Though that doesn't mean it will look bad. I did tweak the saturation and coloring so it looks kind of similar to Valex 's Russian projects here on the workshop. But still, I'm planning for a rework on the texturing. It's on my schedule!

Coloring & Variations 顏色及變化
This asset includes 4 color variations: Green, Red, Orange, Blue. They're typical paint colors for public schools in Hong Kong. For it to work you don't have to install anything because it's completely vanilla! Just place it and you'll see the effect. If you want the colors to be something else, like pink, then you'll have to install the Repaint Mod, which allows you to change the colors live in-game.



This asset has a color mask pre-defined . That means, only part of the building will have the color changed. Even with the Repaint Mod installed, you won't be able to change the color of the entire building unless you clicked the "Colorize" button in the mod panel that overrides the mask.

If you feel that the colors are over-saturated / under-saturated, you may as well install the repaint mod to fix the issue. To do so, you simply select a shade of grey as the color overlay.

Customization Service On-Demand 客製化服務
I can attend private requests for minor adjustment. It depends on the situation whether I would apply the changes globally (to everyone) or privately (to you). Just feel free to comment below and I'll see if I could do something for you.




This's my second asset. You should expect this asset to be something experimental.
I'm very open to feedback and is available for free talk. Feel free to comment below and I'll try my best to reply to each of you.

Great asset. Just curious why a school in hong kong has an American football field? Is the sport popular there? Sorry, I don't know much about Hong Kong culture/sports.

Hi! Love the asset! Wondering if there are any plans to make a low-poly version? or an Elementary School version?

@Benlotelli : 唉!可能我是完美主義者吧!總是對自己不太滿意!我是有計劃想要重製這個資產的,但這個會是一個挺複雜的project,就看之後有沒有時間了。

@azcolvin429 : Again, thanks for your help!

@lloranut : hahaa glad that you like it! Description is also part of the project, and I always value the importance of description equally with modelling!

@脆香米:嗯,這個我會考慮一下的!大型的校园建筑我還是需要去研究一下的啦!謝謝啦!

@davidyong1900:厲害,咁都睇得出係鄉中!希望我無做得太衰啦!
