BATs Currently in Progress

[mightygoose 92]

you people are too kind... anyway after fumbling through some tutorials on modelling on the web.... i came up with this proof of concept model... its basically a nice way for me to glass structures of any kind.... well there are too methods really... one cleverer than the other....

Method one... figured out myself.

mesh extraction....

Method two... learnt today

lattice....

Hey Patriots, have you considered making that a diagonal? BTW, I loved the Prudential Center when my class visited in October. That is where I spent about $300. Awesome work to all, dudes! Leonardo

[patriots_1228 51]

[BurroDiablo 222]

Finished this after about 10 hours for my CJ... the first usful thing i've batted (A Nuclear Plant)

Clicky for fullview

This is only a Draft Render, and there are a few minor Screw ups in this Render that i've fixed in the finished product...

Clicky again

Wow these are amzing, I never really appreciated BATing until I really tryed it. A can't even build a house yet and you guys are building huge skyscapers. I never truly realized how much work goes into these. I can't wait til I can build these, it must be rewarding to have hundreds of people use your models.

mightygoose: what is that?!  It looks very odd, yet somehow amazing!

Here's a teaser shot of my skiNevada Resort Hotel and Casino:

But of course, it's all going to be inside (this is only one of the many inside slopes...) with a glass/ice mixed roof.  This scene alone is 2.5 million poly.

[DarkEldar 6]

thats pretty flash autoVino reminds me of a golf course i made with that sort of poly size

[mightygoose 92]

well it will be an art gallery..... used your environment setup tutorial and use a maxscript set called polyboost three for poly face topology modifications....

from the inside....

I got inspired this weekend:

[Sim shady 12]

Holy Cow!!! That is awesome Nofunk! i hope this will hit the STEX one day

[BurroDiablo 222]

MG- Thats abit freaking crazy, but I like it...

Started this one yesterday... I got to re-texture some parts on the roof and give it night lights but apart from that its pretty much ready... draft render so its abit rough.

[Explodingsims 3]

Man, In comparison to everyone else's BATs mine is kind of Crappy:

Just a Fast food resturant that I started and Have yet to finish, This is my First BAT so far...Yay...

[BurroDiablo 222]

lol... FAT Food... I hope thats not a Typo coz its pretty funny

Here's that Apartment again... the Export failed so it gave me time to sort of tidy things up abit, I'm thinking about making a few variations of this building... this being the first obviously -

Iv'e gave a copy to Glenni... so hopefully we'll have some nicer textures

[Gridlock 9]

Nice work evryone . Here s something i started quite a few weeks ago , ive decided to scrap all the concrete parts and go fully framed, the glass is now looking ,not as bad as it did , but still not realy happy with it. Still need entrances and a lobby , and a few problems to fix too.

Also ive started work on this which is the 2nd of a set im hoping to make

[zero7 68]

The first of the Brighton terraces is finished.  I just need to create some variations

.

The terraces are taking a bit of a back seat at the moment as I decided to extend the SG-CAL canals with some lots that take them down to Oppie canal depth.  A couple of the lots can be seen in the picture above.  I've just started on the lock lot that will change the level ...

[patriots_1228 51]

those terraces make me think of "Blades of Glory" for some reason. nice work.

[ObladiOblada 1]

hey mightygoose do you plan to publish this cool gallery on STEX?

It looks really interesting

[scotty222 549]

something new its nearly done

in need some input on the white colour, will it be too bright or will it be fine

[autoVino 26]

Well, the best way to tell is to save the render file as a  24-bit png with an alpha channel and paste it on a game screenshot and see how well it blends in.

I personally think it'll look fine.

[BurroDiablo 222]

Work in progress... prolly get it finished tomorrow...

[mightygoose 92]

[SimRabbit 48]
