Nofunk's BAT Thread

[GMT 389]

hm... guess that's an amazing building you've done.

you should definitely go for the adjoinging tower aswell, cuz otherwise, it would just be another very well modeled tower and not as impressive as it could be (imho that is)

[Wrightguy0 40]

Can't wait to see the base, and the badonkadonk, of course.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

It keeps getting better! Yeah, roof looks pretty good considering, I might get fed up with something like that.

Bring on the badonkadonk !!! (or the base, whatever comes first )

That's turning into a very impressive model! Can't wait to see some texturing.

[allez l'om 1]

wow!! I like it and besides it's so tall and impressive as Spa said!!!

[danielcote 9]

Ooh that's looking realy good!

[josefmayor 8]

Very nice Nofunk keep it up homie!

[nofunk 1,933]

jacqulina: Thank you, Jacky!

mightygoose: Stexual, eh? This still has a long way to go, but I'm glad you like it!

GMT: No worries, I'll definitely be modeling the adjoining tower. It just means this project will take longer than most.

Wrightguy0: I think everybody is excited to see the badonkadonk lol! Thanks!

SimHoTToDDy: Haha! Thanks, Todd! The badonkadonk will come first.

spa: Thanks, Sam!

allez l'om: Thanks! Yeah, it is by far the tallest I've ever made.

danielcote: Thank you!

josefmayor: Thanks bro! How are classes going for you?

Update...

I've got just a quick update tonight: Carew Tower (the main tower) modeling is done! Here's a preview of the roof junk. By the way, in real life the highest roof is actually an observation deck, and that's why there is no roof junk on it. Do you guys think I should leave it like that, or put some junk on it anyway?

Now I need to model the "badonkadonk" and then I will start texturing the building. I want to wait on texturing since both towers will share them.

Also, in BSP news, I will be uploading the Maccabees Building very soon! I just need to mod and lot it and it'll be ready.

Hope everyone is doing well! I'm finishing up my final semester of grad school right now, and should be able to BAT more regularly very soon!

[josefmayor 8]

There goin pretty good. That is a lovely lookin tower, your detailing is great!

[art128 4,618]

In my opinion you don't need to add anything.

[allez l'om 1]

that's excellent!! there is even a water tower at the top!! looking forward to see it textured!!!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I second what Francis90b said. Given your superb texturing skills, it will look nice anyway. Besides, it's not a huge surface, so the rooftop isn't likely to bore anyone. Just keep going!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I think the observation deck would be nice. I think that would be more visually interesting than just a generic roof if you model the usual "observation-deckjunk". You could even make the LODs so that you could put a few people props up there.

[Gn_leugim 853]

Jason's idea looks look, but if you leave it like it is, it will look superb I know

I agree, and you could add some cheesy coin operated binoculars (and perhaps a gift shop selling " I *heart* Carew's badonkadonk" T-shirts)

LOL! That would be awesome. "Now selling at the tower gift shop."

[nofunk 1,933]

Thank you all for the great comments!

I think putting coin-operated binoculars and trying to fit the LODs so that I can put people props up there are both great ideas! I'd like to do both, but I'm assuming that the binoculars idea precludes me from putting people up there? (Since the LODs would have to be taller to accomodate the binoculars?)

I'll figure it out, but expect at least one of those ideas to crop up!

I have begun work on Carew Tower's badonkadonk!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Haha! Brilliant.

[jacqulina 162]

fantastic ideas

[allez l'om 1]

That's huge!!! The result will look breathtaking!!!

[Wrightguy0 40]

*Gasp* BADONKADONK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

You'd have to do slightly more elaborate LODs than usual, but I don't think they would need to be very complex. Plus, you'd only make the LODs detailed around the specific binoculars which you plan to place people next to.

Looking great!

[nofunk 1,933]

Hey everyone. Short and steady wins the race, right? That said, I've made a little progress on the Carew Tower addition:

Graduate school is finally (FINALLY!) winding down for me, so I'll have lots of time to BAT soon. Of course, the job search will kick in full-time, but I still should have a lot more time than I've had.

Hope everyone is doing well!

EDIT: Here's a fun preview of how the buildings will look together. Warning: it's a big image!

[allez l'om 1]

That's huge! I like this concept: on the left the tall building and on the right, the large building!!!

[jacqulina 162]

great progress there

im doing good ty hows you.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

ahh, looking good!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Rocking the badonk' finally are we? It really comes together nicely. Glad to hear you are done with time vacuum: part one, here's to getting a job that won't become time vacuum: part two!

[Wrightguy0 40]

It Came From Cincinnati: Terror of The Badonkadonk!

[spa 968]

That's looking really great. It's going to be quite a complex when done. Can't wait to see the street level.
