How bout some Triple Deckers? hehe. Man I could use those...

[scotty222 549]

I had perfect timing on my release as i am at my dads house now

so i can get 1 lincoln off his computer so expect something soon

[patriots_1228 51]

well im off to a quick start, lrfox, some pics of the longer side would be nice. I found a site with a ton of water front pics, so i started that side. also where is the logo? the pics show the fleet.

[patriots_1228 51]

well, the tds too big to fit in a preview render, so my shots will mostly be write from the veiwport. also, i got somthing special to put up, hope you guyz will like it.

Patriots- I like what you've got already on the Garden. Unfortunately i can't find many good shots online to post here for you, i'll keep looking, but i'm not gonna be able to get into town and take pics until tomorrow or wednesday so you're gonna have to wait on those.

but so far- so good. nice work

[patriots_1228 51]

wow lots of stuff to do probably wont get to BATing again until late tommarow. anyway im between 25-40 percent done. heres the thumbnail with a list of what i need to do below it.

i hope thats not too big.......anyway heres the plain thumbnail.

any suggestions or things i should add to the list. heres some real life shots.







and scotty, heres a pic of the base when you need it for 1 lincoln. I took it from windowslive maps, I suggest you use that it lets you see so much detail from every angle.

[lrfox 2]

wow... i'll still look for some good shots for you, but NICE work on that it looks awesome.

Now, i have a question/ suggestion/ sort of a request for you- I don't know how good you are at Modding and Adding transit, but As you probably know, the garden is also North Station. i was wondering if you could add 6/7 rail platforms under it and make it transit enabled as a train station (maybe two versions since i'm sure not everyone wants a train station version)? I know Teemu-Om had one of his Stadiums transit enabled so he'd be good to talk to, but It's just a suggestion. It would be killing two birds w/ one stone if you did it.

In anycase, do what you want/ are capable of, you've made a lot of progress as it is and it looks terrific. one more question, about what will be the lot size of this? keep it up. again, i'll try to get some good pics for you

[patriots_1228 51]

thanks, your suggestion is exactly what im hoping to do. north station is in the stadium right? or is it outside becuase i see little white kinda roof tops inbetween tracks on windows live. If I can do that, ill try to do park street sation(thats how i go to the fleet/tdf banknorth garden). the buildings 6x10, so the lots gonna be pretty big, im gonna b making some props for it. Posistion players report to fort myers today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(wut like 41 days till season starts?)

[lrfox 2]

The station is underneath the garden.... the little white rooftops you see are the ends of the platforms coming out. so basically, in the game, you should just have some BATted Platforms and a few small stretches of track sticking out that we can connect to the track in the game.

Park Street's not a bad idea. it's just a subway stop (redline/ greenline interchange) so the actual BAT will be really small and there won't be any visible track. but it would be nice to have in the game.

Yup. the actual season starts in early April, but i can't wait. i've already bought tickets to a Sox/Braves game May 19 and Sox Orioles in Baltimore August 11th. i'm pumped.

[patriots_1228 51]

lol ive got tix to the eagles game sat vs. clemson. i may get some sox tix. anyway, i figured out what program and how to get the file ready to become transit enabled, im just unclear on how to finish it up. Im gonna fool around with that, then get back to you guys. if i get it to work, ill bat out the platforms as props. Park Street is my biggest memory from my fleet center trips, havnt been to the building in like 4-5 years(i was gonna go to a celtics game but that would be very.um...upsetting lol), plus those hobos that drum for money outside.

anyway, Ive done alot, fixed the front part so that i have the big blue parts shape right, madesure i had the right number of rails, added other rails, filled most gaps, did the logo, and most notably, fixed my roof problem. now it looks awesomer than b4. I update the list, heres the pics.

oh and Lrfox have you ever read Now I can Die In Peice? wicked funny sox book

[patriots_1228 51]

well i was grounded yesterday (for swearing on AIM, whats up wit dat??) and now im having trouble opening page six, but i'll post some pics soon.

[patriots_1228 51]

did some garage work, need to do fences on the garage, then im going to do the opening for north station, roof junk.

suggestions??

[patriots_1228 51]

done modeling for now. I added roof details/junk, details to the sides, ground stuff, fixed some details, and stuff like that. heres 2 pics b4 i start texturing(which i hate) nitelites(which I love) and do everything else i can to get this baby on the STEX. expect it sometime between Sunday and next sunday.

where r u guyz????? noones commented besides me in like 2 days!

[lrfox 2]

hahahah hey. we're right here. most of us are still busy, and it's tough to get time. and even when we do, we can't really write anything. it's looking really good. you're improving with every building. good luck

[scotty222 549]

im super busy tis week so don't expect anything from me srry

[patriots_1228 51]

well once again im having that bug where i cant see page six, so ill read your comments later.

anyway I tried to texture last ngiht, and i had a small problem, so i lost all the work i did on the bottom parts( it took less than an hour though) ive fixed that and start to texture, ill do the bottom later. so anyway i only start on the roof tell me what you think. Lighter?Darker? should i make it metal?

[lrfox 2]

I would do it a slight bid darker.... i think the white textures are a bit too bright and clean for the game, and they stand out like a sore thumb. It looks good, maybe a slightly better window texture, but it's not bad. But for the roof i would go with a more metalic color (not white, maybe more of a grayish steel color), and the sides should almost be a off-white (maybe almost even tan) color w/ Gray stripes. it's really looking good.

[patriots_1228 51]

kk, only the roof has been textured in that pic. Its actually dark tan but shows up white. I'll try metal. For the front ive got the glass texture down, and the dark gray concrete.

Scotty do u have the texture u used for 28 state street. I think i may need it.

[patriots_1228 51]

byebye corey, that should free up some space to bring in Lance Briggs or Adelus Thomas

schill on the other hand will be missed.

anyway i texture some of the front wall, redid the roof, Is it too dark?, and textured all the glass.

[SimFox 802]

well... you've not put here such a post stamp size image... It almost impossible to see anything. Post proper Zoom5 render, then we'll speak...

[lrfox 2]

agreed. link it in imageshack or something so we can see a bigger image. but from what i see i like. i don't think it's too dark, i think it's just right.

[scotty222 549]

which texture? the wall one

[patriots_1228 51]

well i still cant see anything on page 6...but i finished my modeling for now, so im going to export.

here it is

the billboards arent the same pic cuz thats impossible to get the exact same pic.

if theres something that needs fixing pm me so i no.

[bixel 1,223]

its lookin pretty darn good!!! I want a closer pic though. Great improvements!

[patriots_1228 51]

sorry guys but i cant fit the whole thing in a 10x6. i could do an in BAT shot.

scotty-never mind i found a better one.

[teemu_om 47]

It's hard to see details from this zoom level but from what I can see it looks good! I would lighten up the roof just a little bit though.

[patriots_1228 51]

2233 seconds later im done exporting, heres two shots.


dont worry the blue doesnt go through the concrete in game. This pic isnt very good quality.
neither is this

look for more pics today or tommarow.

[SimFox 802]

I'm really puzzled...

You ask for people to comment on your work. Then when everybody, not me alone, tells you that it is impossible to see anything you just ignore it and keep putting here pictures full of pointless litter. Apparently you yourself are perfectly aware of it as you comment on quality, still you do the same. It is at best sign of ignorance, or even an insult.

You should really think hard of what you're doing both in BAT and in just terms of communicating efficiently and respectfully with other people.

I, personally, see no excuses to that...

Please, mend your ways.

[patriots_1228 51]

what? i tried to get the best pic of the thing possible. also, i have this sucurity thing that usually blocks the page so i cant read your comments. after i can finally get in i read them. chill out im not trying to insult anyone if you look at the last couple pages ive been doing everything people suggest. sorry but i dont understand why you think im not listening.
