Underworld`s Bat projects

[GaryReggae 80]

Yeah, I really like that, Underworld, I can imagine seeing it on a seafront, reminds me a bit of a hotel actually!

Hey, jus letting you know that the tree library is in my v=city and may soon Feature in my CJ

[underworld 129]

That would be so cool!!!

[underworld 129]

Loooong time since i`ve posted here, `ve been working on an other project on another site, but here it is a small update:

The main moddeling is done, now it detailing time!!! Tell me what you think of it so far...

 

[GaryReggae 80]

Looks good, very contemporary! It reminds me of a Travel Inn by Southampton Airport railway station.

The sky glass texture in the main lobby doesn't look quite right, I would suggest something a bit darker.

oh i really like this...nice work..

[underworld 129]

@Gary Reggae: I`m not happy with the glass texture myself and it will be changed, I use a random texture during the moddeling stage for glass areas, so i can see how the inside details show up..

Looks very good! I can't wait for this!

[underworld 129]

Small update:

Added some details:

This is not the most actual pic, i`ve added some more roofjunk, after this pic was made.

Some minor details to work on, so i`m getting near the end of this fase...

 

As always: suggestions, critisisme, tips, help, etc etc is/are welcome....

 

[underworld 129]

Again a small update:

I`ve been playing around with the lights, still alot of work to do. (texturing, rendering, etc, etc)

 

Here`s a pic:

Looking good, my only comment would be the protruding glass stairwell at the front, the framework is a different colour on each part but it should be the same colour.

[underworld 129]

@GaryReggae: I know, i know. I always forget to colour the small parts. Thanks for your comment.

While texturing the bat, i stumbled on to a problem:

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Image1.jpg align=baseline>

 

The right side of the pic is the original texture, the left side is how it turns out in a preview. I`ve played around with UVW-maps, other textures but nothing helped. Anybody got an idea how to fix this??

 

 

[GaryReggae 80]

Looks like the spline you've tried to apply that texture to is somehow not 'flat'. Try deleting the spline and recreating it, I've had a similiar thing happen.

[underworld 129]

Thanks GaryReggae, it worked (see pic).

Now another queston: I rendered it overnight, just to see how it looks ingame, but when i woke up, i found out that there was a render failure (code 5). Anybody knows what that means??

 

Here`s the latest pic:

And a day pic:

Remember: still have some texturing to do, and add some nitelightning as well...

I've had this problem with the roof of one of my models... I didn't work much on it lately, but I tryied to make a new spline, extrude it, and applying the texture again, and it worked fine on previews...

This problem appeared when I cloned the roof, and rotated/mirored it. The textures were OK on the original roof, but weird on the clone... So instead of cloning a textured roof, I think I should only clone the initial splines and do the rest by myself... Hope this helps.

 

There might be pics of this faulty roof in my thread called timo's bat experiments. The problem seems similar to yours.

 

EDIT : Oooops! Sorry I didn't see Garryreagae solved the problem.

[underworld 129]

@Timo: Thanks anyway!

[underworld 129]

It`s rendered and almost ready to upload to the stex, i just have to tweak it in the ilive reader and then test it.

Here are some ingame pics.

So what do you guys think??

[GaryReggae 80]

Looks good although I still think this looks more like a hotel than an apartment block!

[underworld 129]

@GaryReggea: Where i live (the netherlands) are these type of buildings residential. This bat is actually inspired by a yet to be build appartment complex over here. But if you wanna make a commercial building of it, it`s oke with me.

[Alkaola 18]

netherlands (where i live) is wierd

 

 i love this building and i 'll definately download it

[underworld 129]

It`s finished and uploaded to the STEX.... Get it here

Enjoy!

 

[underworld 129]

There is a small problem with the bachus building, it doesn`t work as a plopable r$$$ building, so i`ve made a landmark of it. It`s uploaded to the STEX.

Sorry for that!

 

[underworld 129]

Here`s another project I`m working on:

 

It`s a high wealth office building.

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//groot-03.jpg align=baseline>

 

The main modeling is done, now playing with the nightlights. Next step is adding lots of details. So a lot of work to do...

 

Suggestions, critisisme, etc etc are welcome.
