Underworld`s Bat projects

[underworld 129]

Thanks for the replies !!

Here is a first ingame pic:

and a nightshot:

I`ve made it a plopable cs$$$, and it`s a lawyer firm: Young, Young, Young and Old lawyers.
It`s on a 3x3 lot.

I`m modding and testing it now.

WOW! It's been a while since I last looked into your BAT thread, but I certainly don't regret coming back. Those latest two buildings look exceptionally promising: The first one, because it is a very authentic-looking mid-rise building with an interesting base, and the second one because it's something absolutely unique!

Concerning the first one, I love the night lights and the base. The roof obviously isn't finished yet, so no comments on that. Just one tiny suggestion: If you use such a symmetrical texture for the plaza in front of the building, it might look best if you align the building's main entrance with the pattern on the plaza.

I don't really have any critique or suggestions for the second one; I don't know what to improve. It looks really great as it is, only some details (especially on the terrace) are left to do. I guess some tables would look good there - this would give people a nice outdoor chillout area while they can watch the others dance...

How big will the buildings be, btw? The first one looks like 5x5...

Both are great!! Great job!!

[GaryReggae 80]

Wow, these are both really good.

[underworld 129]

A quick thank you for the replies guys, i`ll take your tips in consideration.

 

[underworld 129]

The Underworld Dance department is finished (at last)....

 

Get it here.

[timo 15]

Cool. What's next?

[underworld 129]

Who knows??

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

By any chance, can you make that tree in that mid-rise building you are making into a prop?

[underworld 129]

The Thhur H.Q. is finished, it`s rendering as i type this. And i hope the render doesn`t fail (i don`t have a high end pc).

Here is a preview pic.

I am pretty content with it.

 

EDIT: Yup, it failt rendering....I`ll give it another shot overnight...*sigh*

 

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Good luck with the re-render.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

I like the nightlights! Great work!

[underworld 129]

I re-re-render tonight. (yup, re-render fialed again) If it doesn`t render this time i`ll abandon this project...

Guess i have to stick to small bats....

 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Well, you could ask someone to render it for you. Annoyingdan recently rendered a pretty huge residential high-rise that had been posted as a 3ds model by its creator, because he was unable to render it.

[underworld 129]

Thanks for the tip T wrecks, but i`ll give it a shot myself

 

[underworld 129]

Meanwhile i`ve started another project, A w2w bat.

Maybe i`ll make a whole family of it, here is a first pic.

This will be a 2x3, R$ lot...

 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Interesting. I don't remember seeing any building of this style on the STEX.

[underworld 129]

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//app01.jpg align=baseline>I`ve added some minor details, i think the model is now ready for texturing..

 

 

[GaryReggae 80]

Wow, very nice row houses UW!  They're very Modernist.  One comment though, the front doors need to be a lot taller, as they're not 'door shaped' at the moment, I would say the top of the doors need to come up as high as the ground floor bay windows.  I generally use 1.75M x 3M for doors although I'm not sure that's 100% accurate.

[underworld 129]

Thanks for the comment GR, you are right about the doors. I`ll change the height.

Meanwhile here are some pics of my progression so far:

Looks good so far.Good thing we don't have Weather because you would end up with 2 swimming pools in the front.

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I agree with GaryReggae about the doors, they do look a bit stumpy. The textures are good and the model is great. However the overall poportions of windows and doors is a little off. Theres an awful lot of brick there.

If I lived in one of these I'd be sure that my cars breaks were in good nick, ready for going down the ramp to the garage.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

these are some pretty good bats!!!

[GaryReggae 80]

Nice work UW, the houses have a kind of 60s look to them!

[underworld 129]

Thanks for the comments guys, but it is already rendered and i`m about to test it ingame.

Here are the final pics of it:

I hope you still like them...

 

 

[timo 15]

Pretty cool building, as usual. Nice job underworld!

[GaryReggae 80]

They look good UW - I'll certainly be downloading them when I go home.

[underworld 129]

It could be a while before i release this BAT. I`m planning of making a family of this. And due to RLS i don`t have very much batting time..

Thanks for the comments btw.....

[underworld 129]

Here`s a first ingame pic, but the model is way off scale:

So back to the Gmax....
