Underworld`s Bat projects

[underworld 129]

Here`s another one of my bats.

It`s not finished by far!!

It will be a small 5-star restaurant.

I think the moddeling is done for now. I`ll begin texturing it tonight.

 

Any suggestions on this bat?

 

[rp2005 165]

Looking good so far.  You'll need to do some interior modelling to allow that glass roof to work.  If you do that it may also be worth using transparent windows in the walls too - rather than Maxis night windows.

 

[underworld 129]

thanks for your comment rp, the interior modelling is planned, and there are transparant windows used in this bat, but i didn`t do a floor yet, so it doesn`t show that well. And about the maxis night lights; is there another way to let windows light at night without the prefix -night- ?? If so, can you explain how to do that.

I like it, now the ornamental water, is it raised above the ground or is it a pool which sinks into the ground?

[GaryReggae 80]

I like that building a lot, it's almost Art Deco, certainly 1930s style.  What kind of textures will you be using for the walls?  I reckon a brick texture for the ground floor and a white stucco for the upper floor would look good

I love the tables and chairs by the way, they're really detailed.

[ILL Tonkso 1,237]

this looks fantastic, looking forward to the upload, i agree with garyreggae on the textures but maybe some sort of tiled flooring outside

[underworld 129]

Small update:

 

 

I did some texturing (some small detials needs a texture. like the door on the first floor), and the interior moddeling is finished.

When I`m done with the small details i`ll render it and then i`ll test it in-game.

 

 

@Lord_bertrum: the water is a sunken pool

 

@GaryReggea: I`ve release the tables and chairs (and some other stuff) as .gmax models on the stex, (link in my sig) use them as you please, no credit needed

 

@Ill Tonkso: you got your tiled flooring outside () I like it, thanks for the tip

 

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I love the texture used for the tiles, this must be nearly ready.

[fosterk 4]

I'd advise changing the roof texture. Try out the Maxis one, Try:
MaxisAshphaltRoof.jpg
and
Concrete_bump.jpg.

I personally think the first one will work the best for that roof.

Other than that, it looks great.

[underworld 129]

That is MaxisAshphaltRoof I use for the roof, but you`re right about changing the roof texture, it`s kinda busy the way it is now.

Let me try some different textures.

 

thanks for the advice

 

EDIT: first try

Wow, I like the looks of this so far, you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Hmmm... I agree that the first roof texture was too busy. However, I fear that the new one looks a tad too clean & light for my taste. Maybe it would look best if you found something inbetween these two extremes?

Anyway, I wanted to seize the occasion to thank you for the great stuff you contributed to the STEX. I'm currently usinbg your adult store and the Redfish book store, and I like both! Here's a bunny for ya:

[your_adress_here 11]

Very nice! And I really like that roof texture. Good work!

[Maranello575 5]

Very nice restaurant.I like it.Are you planning on making it for a specific tileset?

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I would hope the European Tileset, but prehaps also the Houston tileset too.

[kefka 3]

i think the outside looks great, but I think the buildings textures aren't all that great.

 

if you have photoshop you can use it to define your texture as a pattern, and then use that to help make custom textures, which I think would help a ton.  I think the colors and style of the textures you have now is good, but not neccecarly the textures themselves...

 

anyways, the table area and nightlites are lookin realy good.

[underworld 129]

Thanks for all your input.

Here are the first ingame pics:

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

That was quick!

[underworld 129]

Just a quick question:

what do i upload to the stex if i want to upload a plopable version AND a growable version of a bat?

Do i need to upload 1x .sc4model file, 2x .sc4desc file (growable and plopable), and 1x .sc4lot file?

 thanks in advance

[timo 15]

I don't know much about growables, but I think you're right...

No, you need 2 LOT files (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) plus the 2 sc4desc files plus 1 sc4model

[underworld 129]

Thanks for the answer(s) guys, I`ll test them both.

[underworld 129]

While testing a lot (see above) i`ve been busy with the bat:

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//low-rise-preview.jpg align=baseline>

 

A low rise, high wealth residential building.

Comments, suggestions, etc??

[GaryReggae 80]

As it's a Residential building, you definitely need a lot more windows in the left hand building, people wouldn't live inan apartment with not many windows!  Apart from that, it's very good, very contemporary.

Nice! I look forward to the release in STEX but... Isn't the tables too big if compare to the height of the building?

[underworld 129]

Small update:

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//low-rise-preview-01.jpg align=baseline>

 

The side you are seeing now was originally the backside of the building, but i flipped it around, because this side looks more of a frontside then a backside (that`s why i didn`t put alot of windows in the lefthand building, that`s now the main entrance lobby)

Still Alot of work to do (details, texturing, lightning, etc)

 

@yuhhaur: the lot is already on the stex, link to my BATs is in my sig
