Scottys stuff

[Francis90b 748]

Scotty, you're doing a wonderful job on both St George and the quickie (if you want to call it like that ).

I'm really looking forward for the generic one, and i'd like to ask if you can make a version of it without signs at all...just to make it even more generic .

[scotty222 549]

Thanks for the comments and cuddly animals

i tend to use alot more boxy plain buildings i my cities with one or two more ZOMG towers so thats why i tend to bat the more boxy ones (mostly)

i also get distracted easily and start new things like.....

black boxyness

also in melbourne

[Francis90b 748]

Interesting , dull (or interestingly dull? ) black boxyness, i must say...at least for me .

You might want to augment the contrast between the parts, though.I believe that the building's overall looking can benefit greatly, under this aspect, with the enhancing of the contrast between the steel skeleton and the glass, between the gllass ant the curtains, between the structure and the blind walls on the top...making the lobby taller (and therefore more noticeable) would be a good move, too.

The building is very dark, try adding some contrasting colours .

black boxyness

I must bow down to the Box Master *bows down to the floor*

Excelent work. It would probably look cooler if it were a bit more reflective.

Scotty are you still alive out there? Don't tell me you came back just to disappear again, my heart can't take it.

Whats happening with your other models

[scotty222 549]

Hey guys sorry for not updating for a while ive been busy with class and such

Uploaded something on the STEX if your keen

Im gonna try and finish Central Park tower in october when i get some time off class

in other news i do some simple less time consuming BATS till then

Teaser

What is it?

[gutterclub 2,729]

Is it the Gen-i tower in Auckland, or am I wide of the mark?

[T Wrecks 10,209]

All I know is that it's a scotty222 project, so it's good by my standards. Seeing an upload from you on the STEX first thing after logging onto good old Simtrop today was a pleasant surprise for sure.

Btw, are you using gmax or have you switched over to 3dsmax?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great, i wish I knew the name of that building.

[gutterclub 2,729]

I thought it might be this but it doesn't quite match

[Kifflom112 355]

Nice, but can you please release St. George skyscraper sometime soon, you will see it in my CJ. It will help my city get that big banking look to match my suburbs I'm BATing. Please release St. George.

[scotty222 549]

Gutterclub - No very wide

T wrecks - Im using Max11 now

Aaron - Its Fifth Avenue Place in Pittsburgh

Zulu - ill try to finish that one next month

Its Fifth avenue place in Pittsburgh, it was missing the top before

[h8te 19]

I'm loving all these skyscrapers. as a beginner in BATing i'm trying to learn how to make these types of buildings.

Could you maybe share some pointers on the method used to make them?.

Right now i'm using polygonal modeling.

Keep up the awesome work.

[IDS2 3,346]

YEAHHH! I love this building!

[Utvaw 45]

Oh man, the highmark building, YES! I really hope this one gets finished and released.

[Jazzmaster 716]

Holy crap, Scotty! It's so good to have you back!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Holy crap, Scotty! It's so good to have you back!

Word.

Does the progress shot in your last post represent a particular zoom level in game? I'm asking because I was wondering about the ground floor in particular. Due to those giant Sims, it might require some scaling up... I think I've said it before in your thread, but AFAIR your BATs have always been on the smaller side scale-wise. Of course this makes your releases consistent among each other, but when I plopped your BATs next to other peoples' creations in a test city to check them out, I often found that there was quite a difference.

In any case, the modeling looks top notch so far - as always.

[scotty222 549]

H8te - Im probably not the best person to ask for pointers with BATting(also im horrible at explaining stuff )honestly i wouldn't know where to start

T wrecks - i sorta forgot how big the sims were thanks for pointing that out

more

any suggestions

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Looks, great so far, but I think you could improve the window texture because I think it looks too flat.

Looks great, I'm looking forward for an update.

[_marsh_ 1,117]

Amazing work. Although you make box towers look really interesting, I'm really anticipating that St. George building.

I agree, it looks nice, and I really am excited for that St. George Building. It will be the tallest building in my planned skyline, here is a pic of the buildings I will use, and St. George and the recent building you are doing will really fit in;

I can't wait for both. Sorry, the dumb photo has the same annoying code as the last version and I tried to resize, but no, Photobucket and Imageshack really try to annoy people. Oh well.

Good work, I will be using this for sure

[Chris M 406]

Looks awesome!!!

[scotty222 549]

quick update

Still need to fix the glass texture both during the day and at night (its waaay to dark)

[gutterclub 2,729]

If you are using arch and design mats..maybe you could try upping the glossyness and reflectivity on the glass to bring it to life a bit more?

Other than that its an interesting choice and is looking real good, fits the game very well.

Looks great Scotty222, can't wait to have it in my hands!!!!!

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

This is perfect for my cities

[PBGV103 729]

Your glass looks like it has a matte finish. I'd make the glossiness a 1.0 and the reflectivity .9-.98. Then as far as the bump map goes take a look at Jason's tutorial in his thread. Also, the material you've used for the concrete looks too plain. In RL it would have been poured in sections or placed as blocks. Take a closer look at the real building. Start with those two things and then hunt around for other details. The model looks good so far.
