simmars-forum-threads BAT Workshop

[AndisArt 2,066]

That's a good start! It needs some more details though. It looks very boxy at this stage, maybe you could add some more structure, also in another color to break this. It looks out of scale, a bit to big. Keep it up! I can mod this for you later.

CO$$? CO$$$? 1x2, "Sand's Insurance" - SC4 Model file only

File attached

[scififan68 23]

Very cool!

[Ryusuke516 1]

Those are great BATs, I only wish I can find BAT or Gmax and contribute to the community.

[AndisArt 2,066]

@2ch: That looks really cool! Thank you! I will put it ingame.

@Ryusuke516: Have a look at the "How to contribute" thread in the SimMars Workshop forum, you find links there where you can start off. Good luck

[AndisArt 2,066]

2ch: I checked the file, it didn't render correctly, looks like LOD error.

[siso43 13]

wow looks this pics, great work.

Hi, this is my 1st bat and I am interested in simmars so thought I would give it a go and design something simple since you need small R$ and CS$. So here is a preview let me know what you think and what you would like it to be or I can send you the model for you to mod yourself with your own numbers. Hope you like it.

Edit: oh and it is small enough to go on a 1x1 lot if you need I was planning it for a 1x2 but will work with what you need.

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

Is that really your first BAT!!??

[Scyfi 1]

Well besides the Bat Essentials Tutorial, but I did a ton of reading. Doing the textures took the longest, i'm not very good at the controls and such. I probably spent longer then I should have on details because after rendering it and putting it in the game I can't see most of them haha. I have night lights on the door frame but they don,t show up very well.

Lovely little building. Great for a first BAT. It matches most of the stuff in Simmars as is.

Thank you and I'm glad you like it. I am working on a movie theatre now. I know SC4 has drive-in ones for low cs$, and I thought about doing a futuristic version so it would seem to work with holograms instead of movie screens. It looks cooler in my head then it sounds haha. I'm kinda trying to figure out what sort of businesses Mars would need. So if any of you have some ideas, I can try to come up with some designs, and see what you think.

[Scyfi 1]

So I took a few moments to work out my idea on a Mars Drive-in. This is just a rough draft of the movie screen. I wanted to look like the movie is being projected like a hologram. What do you guys think? Or is it kind of a lame idea for mars? Be honest

[AndisArt 2,066]

Well, it's not the kind of idea that springs in your mind first when thinking of SimMars.

Life on Mars is mostly taking place inside because of the hostile atmosphere (no air, low pressure, no protection from sun). So being outside generally is danger factor. Of course a Drive In cinema is sitll thinkable if you work it out well. What about an indoor cinema? Wouldya fancy that too?

Here's your BAT ingame, grown:

@2ch: Thanks 4 re-rendering Sand's Insurance. The window front needs to be changed I'm afraid. The windows are way too big for Mars and they are see-through. Please keep in mind: no window fronts in SimMars and no see-through glass for the reasons mentioned above. If you want send me the file and I'll do it.

Here's another BAT I made , World of Lights CS$$$:

[autoVino 26]

I'm not really part of the team or anything, but how about a Deep Core Ice Drilling (and melting) Facility: (day then night)

[AndisArt 2,066]

@autoVino: nice one Is it finished yet?

[autoVino 26]

It is now :

I'm gonna render it right now, what should I do with the model file?  just attach it to the post?

[jacqulina 162]

these are excellent very good detail

[autoVino 26]

Took a killer 6 minutes to render...

So, who wants to lot and mod this?

[Blazerhawk 162]

autoVino-That looks really nice. Good job.

I redid my office module. Heres what I have so far. *Textures will probably change.

Another one, this one is a larger office building. *Basic Shape only.

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

Another BAT - CO$$$?

Haymann Bauxite

[AndisArt 2,066]

Good stuff everyone!

@autoVino: I'll put in on lot and ingame. Post a screen later.

[AndisArt 2,066]

@autoVino: I tested the BAT ingame. This will make a great replacement with water pump function Can I make a request to make it blend in better with the rest of the Mars BATs ? It's regarding the red color, can you make it more dirty/less bright? Also the white light at night is overly bright, can you reduce the intesity? (it looks more bright ingame than on the preview you posted).

[autoVino 26]

Thanks!   I can change the texture to something that'll blend in better, no problem (but first I need to get a new mouse, this one isn't working anymore )

edit: got a new mouse!  works like a charm...

Anyway, how's this:

It's zoomed in, btw.  It's the same size as the previous model just retextured and a little bit darker.  attached.
