BATs Currently in Progress

Perfect materials.. What are the settings you use to get that awesome water material or is it a secret lol?

[Yeah_Right 2]

Please can u convert the pic into JPEG?

[autoVino 26]

It's similar to a mr glass material except the color that it reflects is a very very ligh blue and the max dpth is 600' (with a color of dark blue to black) and ior is set to 1.33.  A lot of the "shape" of the water comes from a fluid simulation from a different software.  Unfortunatly I'm no expert at operating it so I didn't quite get thh results intended (hence the three "water people" at the end of the pool, and the large wave right at the waterfall).  Some of the sparkle you see in the water is just noise actually!  If I set the settings much higher it will dissapear.  And it is a jpg.

Beautiful Render the water does look incredably (SP?) real, the whol thing looks ready to go into an office or mall somwhere, love the use of color, not my personal choice, but it is your render. stunning absolutly stunning. by the way, I think the wave is a good thing.

Very nice render mate.

As for the lighting, how did you set up your daylight?  It looks more like an overcast day than sunlight.

For the gamma, Simfox's gamma correction is, in my opinion, a load of crap.  Last night I finally got mr worked out down to the basics and saved a sunlight render preset.  As it turns out, gamma correction had absolutely nothing to do with my washed out texture problem and all it did was screw up all my renders and make them too dark when I saved them.

If I were you, I'd ditch the gamma correction.  I can also give you my mental ray render  preset if you want, see if that works.  For me now I can render well with mental ray without screwing up my gamma.

[KingTitan 6]

Since that one building I was doing is almost done, at the request of Fledder I'm making another "Dirty Dutch" version of that rowhouse

I used a standard skylight for this one, nothing fancy with the lighting.

The problem is with log renders, is it tends to make some parts too bright or to dark.  Gamma correction in the scene tends to counteract this problem... or at least for me it seems to help: here's what I mean:

        

No gamma correction.                                            Gamma correction.

The latter one will fit into the game more readily and is a bit less "Extreme" with the coloration... that is it's not too dark, which tends to be the problem.

Nearly done I think

Oh!

[paulvmontfort 616]

nice work scipio, I like your buildings. Nice detail

BTW, the things autovino does (like the stairs) arent that hard at all, if you know how to do it I see mostly standard arch and design materials: Copper railing, Glass. I guess He adjusted them a bit but still. I like how he did the water under the stairs. I probably wouldn't know how to do that

[Andronicus22 1]

look foward to these being on the STEX

JPack Building #1.

[jayo 44]

I'm currently working on a prop-pack.

[ianpaschal 77]

nog eentje!!!

So then I was like, "Shoot me now..."

Then he was like, "Why Jan?"

And then I was like, "Cause this is gonna be a ***** to model."

Observe the forthcoming pain (and death by poly count):

[DuskTrooper 314]

Way to go, dutchboy! Can't wait for more!

There. I hope you turned the gun from yourself now.

[Glenni 1,444]

Indeed, that is going to be b***** to BAT...

Anyhoo, here's what i got!

And no, it's not a church, nor a trainstation, but a FACTORY

[WeekendCityPlanner 19]

New project: it will be an apartment complex, name pending. I've finished the basic modelling, now I gotta finish up the model and then I'll begin texturing. I prefer comments to be placed in my thread, links in the signature.

[SimFox 802]

Delija21:

That block 20 looks very nice and oddly familiar what is it?

[ianpaschal 77]

I meet my match in 3ds Max:

TIME FOR SURFACE MODELING OMG WEEEEE!!!!

[autoVino 26]

doodle (That is couldn't leave my house because the ice storm froze our driveway... and my car)

This is only one story of it though, it's going to be taller!

[WeekendCityPlanner 19]

I'm finished wth the modeling, except for the roof junk. I've begun texturing.

Just made a quick finnish for the clocktower!

[autoVino 26]

[delija21 295]

thanx simfox....in RL it's office tower and intercontinental hotel but i have not decided what it will be in simcity

[ianpaschal 77]

Okay, here are my best results without actually modeling everything. I'm not totally happy with it, it doesn't look as thin and ornate as it should, but what do you guys think?

[brodequin666 2]

Great job Glenni, keep it up with the "church" lol
