Absolutely. I did actually add an illumination channel to the shop fronts although it really dosen't show up in these renders.
It may be something I need to push in post pro.

Thanks Patrick. Sta Fee used fairly crude low res textures, but worked because it was such a huge area. The problem is getting
good enough textures that work closer to the camera without losing resolution and spoiling the image. Although I'm thinking the further out
of the centre of the city I model, the smaller the texture maps get.
This view is from the opposite side of the block in the previous image. Another larger residential 1930's building covers the full
width of this end of the block. 5 blocks are now complete.
