ooh, have you thought about doing an updated Sky Tower? I don't know if it's just me but the one I use in the game that's already on the STEX (sam_lawrence) doesn't seem to be of the right measurements/perspective?? Plus the base could do with some jazzing up haha.

I love using the sky tower in my cities though. It add's an extra "umph" into the city, makes it looks heaps better.quote>

Hey Qaxpla. Being my first BAT i didn't realise at that time that SC4 metres are actually around 25-30% bigger than real life metres. I would therefore have to increase the entire model size by that much to make it proportional to buildings already in the game. This is easy to do, and infact i already have an updated, more accurately sized and detailed Skytower almost ready for release but i just haven't had the time to do so yet. Keep an eye out

Anyway back onto the subject of this thread..

The BATs are looking excellent, scotty. I'm not sure if the previews you are showing are from the SC4 renderer or from some sort of default 3DS renderer but the buildings are coming out quite dark. The 'crown' on BNZ looks a bit squished too... but you may have already fixed this as i see you have compensated for this on the ANZ disco ball. Otherwise keep going they way you are!

[scotty222 549]

Sam-i thought the crown looked funny on mine thanks for pointing that out. the colour problems my laptops fault, the brightness is set very high so the textuures are set to look good on my very bright screen, of course ill fix the textures when i get around to dealing with the screen, also looking forward to a new skytower

thanks for stopping by everyone

[scotty222 549]

Afer having a fight with my computer about rendering BNZ (i messed up at least 5 times)

it got it in game this is mostly to check out the glass texture

Any suggestions welcome

[patriots_1228 51]

i dont know what the buildings supposed to look like, but i suggest making the glass more "lively". besides the bottom, there is almost nothing going on in those windows.

[gfvsims 169]

Wow - that is really beautiful work! Can't wait to use it in my game.

[SpartanBadger 4]

The glass texture needs some sprucing up, but the model looks great!

looks great scotty, i just think the glass needs more shine!!!

[scotty222 549]

thanks for the pics qaxpla there heplful

Is this wat you guys wanted

also ive done some more on ANZ

[Qaxpla 0]

they look real awesome!!!

great work, can't wait to use them haha

[spa 968]

The BNZ looks great. The top makes me think of a building I know in downtown Halifax. I think the lively glass will probably make a big difference. I don't have anything to suggest. Oh and the billboard is an ice touch.

[SpartanBadger 4]

Lookin great!!

[scotty222 549]

Thanks for the comments

spa-Are you saying my building is cold Lol (i know its typo)

heres something new

its the quantas building in auckland, its not very well known buts its an easy building and

i think it will begood in game

[Qaxpla 0]

looks good as usual

[patriots_1228 51]

good improvements and nice start on the quapa-somthing building

[skyliner22 16]

Its Qantas, patriots! Australia's premier airline! Great job on it so far!

[scotty222 549]

quapa lol

also i thought of a cool idea for this building

as one side of the building is so boring i thought bout adding on a 50+ meter high advertisment on the side

heres wat i mean

this building here is a good example

http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=bestwesternnewpresidenthotel-auckland-newzealand

mines on a larger scale

[SpartanBadger 4]

Looking very nice scotty!

[dmscopio 225]

Great job Scotty, I like the advertising idea. How about some texture on the side wall of the building?

[Spike345 20]

wow, I actually think this is a very very nice building....can fit well into the game, and i would also support some ads as well!

[scotty222 549]

iv spruced up the glass on the bnz tower, thanks in part to autovino for his gret tutorial

[jacqulina 162]

very nice work

[patriots_1228 51]

wow that tower is cold (to get that scroll up, haha)

nice work, that base is the best ive seen you make.

All your BATs are looking really good!  Your renders seem blurry though, do you know which AntiAliasing filter you're using?  If you're using a sharp one, then it means that the textures are probably blurry, so go into photoshop and add a sharpen filter to them.

[crazyarchitect 7]

lookin good
