Yes, i think i make it R

[scififan68 23]

Hmm! interesting. Good job!!

Still workin' on the Tower I began a new project few days ago, the Leipzig Central Station. It's Europe's biggest terminus with alltogether 31 platforms and it's nearly 100 years old(It was opened 1915.As far as I now, 1. October is the 100. birtday). But enough of that, here's a small preview what I got so far.

Many of the details I have to imagine because there are nearly no close-ups, maybe I'll do soon a side trip to Leipzig...

I thought europe's biggest station was Paris Gare de Nord (3rd in the world after shangai and new york)... . Funny. Probably the english think it's waterloo station or something!

Anyway it's very cute! How big is the station? Good luck with this project, although I doubt you would need luck, as you took an exellent start... Even as a normal building it looks nice.

[madawac 48]

Gare du Nord is the world's third busiest train station as far as I know, maybe Leipzig Central is the largest terminus building, not station at all... I don't know exacly.
Here's a pic of it, taken from wikipedia.org

Wow...  I see a lot of work remains!

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

It's a real beaut, you done some great BATing so far.

[madawac 48]

A small update of Leipzig Central...

Actually I already wanted to post it yesterday evening...

Yes, really nice, you are the best.

[crazyarchitect 7]

Finally the long-awaited Vetarox HQ is released! Download it right now

[Komodo 81]

Thx madawac for uploading the Vetarox HQ and also thx for the post-modding.

Here can you see my new ISAT Project, the ISAT Hotel.
It will be a CS$$$ Building with 3x4 Lot.
I worked hard for this realistic roof junk.
Do you like the textures and the building style? What do you think about the roof junk?



New pics with more details coming soon.

[JayStimson 211]

Zumi,
Your BAT skills are really improving !!!
I've always liked your building styles. Glad you're making this a CS$$$ and that you've learned very well how to add jobs to landmarks. There aren't enough nice CS buildings on the STEX (imo). Don't forget to add CS$ and CS$$ jobs to your lot as well. Not everyone is qualified for an executive level job. Thanks. Always looking forward to your next creation. And, oh yeah, ... I like mid-size buildings too. Not enough of those either on the STEX (imo).

P.S. Check out my CJ for some nice photos of your buildings.

Whatever happened to Xeon Trading building?  I hope you release it on the Stex. 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

@ /zumi/: I like the entire roof! It has a very interesting shape, and the roof junk looks great, too. The roof texture isn't bad, either- in fact, the only improvement I can imagine could only be achieved by actually skinning the roof, i.e. by making textures that have exactly the right shape and size to fit onto the parts of the roof. But it looks good as it is.

Concerning the textures of the main building, are those final? I'm asking because they may end up looking a bit too smooth in game.

Anyway, once more you managed to create a really fascinating building, and I'm looking forward to downloading it already. Good job!

[Komodo 81]

@JayStimson
Ok, thx for this advice.
I saw your CJ and i must say i'ts realy great. I'm pleased that you have downloaded my buildings.

@T Wrecks
No, the textures aren't final and
I'm also thinking that this light brown texture looks too smooth, I will give it more structure.

@shooner2: I wanted to render the Xeon this weekend, but I have some problems with blue lights... green and yellow show up perfectly, red is very pale and blue doesn't show up at all. I don't know why...

[theLXMB 4]

sorry for dubblepost, but i think this will interest some of you:

my pc is rendering the Xeon Trading Center at the moment. its working fine and it seems that there are no problems atm.

 

i think it will be done at sunday, 4pm middle european time (9am central standart time, if i'm right)

[Glenni 1,445]

Thanks, Pichu0.  That is good news.  Xeon is a great building.  I hope it comes on the Stex!!

[theLXMB 4]

oh, yes it will!!

everything works fine! the render is 1/4 done, so it won't last as long as i first expected.

I really like the Isat Hotel. The shapes of the building are not seen in Sim City before so this will be a nice addition. The roof junk looks good too, but let me suggest a little improvement.

Skyscrapers never have roof junk added in a way that makes it visible when seing the building from the ground at some distance. This is mostly solved by extending the walls over the roof surface or to build fake walls. Like those examples:

You can see this on most scyscrapers like Mies Seagram Building. There are blank walls on top of the building to hide the roof junk.

[Komodo 81]

This advice will be very helpfull for me and for my next buildings, thx.
But I think that you can't see the roof junk from the ground.
Because I think that the higher rJ is rather in the center of the roof.
But if you want i can make the walls a bit highter.

Here are more pics!
Now with better texture and more details. What do ou think about this version?



Here can you see the balconies with a lot of details.
Understandably with night lights



Now I must make the window night lights.

[rp2005 165]

That's a great building - the design is superb and I love all the detail on the balconies.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

AH yes, those new wall textures are far better. The detailwork on the balconies is absolutely superb. Great update!

[deadwoods 542]

Nice detail on the balconies. It's easy to take a floor and array it up many floors for a skyscraper, than apply the random nightlight tool, but adding that sort of detail takes a long time. It's very effective.

[timo 15]

Yeah I agree, the level of detail is amazing! Superb tower.

[Odd from Sweden 129]

Oh and one more thing about realism... those sun-blinds are not very realistic. In real life, sun-blinds like those on a tall building would not stand the strong winds! Maybe you could make some more solid construction like slideable blinds?
