SR and his first BAT!!!

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks all for the warm welcome!!

^^^^ My newest building 

I have made more progress on it but don't have a recent picture yet.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Can you post bigger previews?  Zoom 5 is best.  There's not a lot that can be said from a preview so small.

[AsianEvolusioner 18]

ah.... the pics ar too small..... could u give the proper resolution such as 800x600 or 800xsomething???

[SimRabbit 48]

Sure,

Hope you like it

[patriots_1228 51]

it looks like that building in HK, with a bit of the library tower.....you are incredibly skilled man. i think the thread needs a name change

[Jasoncw 11,840]

ahh, much better! 

My suggestion is to have some of the mullions have different thicknesses than others, to help imply more structure to it.  For example, the lower lip of the overhang.

Also, adding things like doors leading out to the ledges, and a roof access at the top, and some other detail along those lines would be nice too.  But I also don't think that helicopter pad is very safe. 

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks patriots

Jason: I won't probably do that to this one, because it took 4-5 hours to render and i have little or no time to render. But on my next building, i will keep that in mind.

[gshmails 534]

Looks great!  I agree with Jason that the helipad would test any pilots nerves, but it looks really nice.

Try rendering when you go to bed so that it will be done when you get up.

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks Gshmails

Hopefully, i will get my own computer soon, so i won't have to worry about rendering time.

Taking a break from Skyscrapers, i started this shopping center. I have there, Century 21, Verizon Wireless, and Papa Johns.

So far I like your work! I also love the shopping center! Congrats on NDEX... Also just to let you know... I like to test NDEX's lots on the side and give any errors that I find, so if I find any while playing, I surely will let you know! =) Great Job So far!!!!

[jacqulina 162]

wow i love the little shopping centre just what i could use,excellent work and detail

[Simfan34 11]

Congratulations on NDEX!

[Krio 624]

The new shopping center looks nice. I think that you are one of the best new batters. Maybe even the best.

[hamsterTK 93]

the little shopping center is a great idea, there isnt enough of that sort of thing in the game

maybe you could make multiple versions(different signs) and then put them on the same lot so there is a variety

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated!!!

hamsterTK: Thats what i will do!

[Mr. Glamazon 9]

You are going at super-pace! Ohmygoodness, wow! Your new building looks very nice. I like that you set your buildings into the lots a little, they're not right on the street. it's a nice touch. Also, I'd like to compliment you on your landscaping! A lot of people focus very intently on the structure, but forget the grounds, you have a nice, well-rounded approach to building. Your creations are neither overly large (or tall, hahaha) nor overly obnoxious, I like that.

Your new BAT really captures the generic strip mall very well. I'm eager to see where it goes! (lol, and you can't leave out Starbucks, there's one in every strip mall these days, hahahaha). Top work!

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks Mr Glamazon, im not very good with LE  but im trying to learn more. 

Anyways, my newest project (not finished)

I will post a zoom 5 picture zoom, and hopefully it will be ready by tomorrow. Sunday thru Tue I will be at a cousin house so i migh not post here.

[ky72x 13]

Wow man, I can't believe how fast you are making new BAT's! The shopping center is looking awesome, I can't wait for the release of that one. Your new building looks great as well! Keep up the excellent work!

[ardecila 124]

Wow, this is really good!  I LOVE that firehouse.

Have you considered doing any Chicago buildings? I'm tired of being the only guy doing stuff from the greatest city on Earth.

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks!!! 

Ardecila: yes, infact I made a rowhome from the McCormick District

Here is the website 

And mine 

I do not have a color picture so i dont know what color they are.

[jacqulina 162]

congrats and excellent work

[patriots_1228 51]

you make BATs too fast

cant wait for the shopping center!

[SpartanBadger 4]

You are progressing so fast my eyes are blurry! Congratulations on making NDEX, and keep the BATs coming!

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks for your comments!!

More work i have done.

[autoVino 26]

That looks really great! .  Kepp up the good work!

[jacqulina 162]

wow i cant wait to download excellent work

[benvoliothefirst 36]

Awesome looking shopping center, SR. The signs are really great. Going off what hamsterTK said, you might try making each of the signs a prop FAMILY, and then every time the shopping center is plopped or grown it will have different stores in it. I have no idea HOW you'd go about doing it, but I'm sure twrecks or one of the other modders could tell you how.

[crazyarchitect 7]

wow, BATting at breakneck speed, every time I come here, there's about 10 new bat's on the line up lol

but very nicely none indeed

[SimRabbit 48]

Thanks!!! I work on bats when i have time or im bored

anyways 

It is finished now.

[ardecila 124]

Rather than Blockbuster, I'd suggest something smaller. Blockbuster stores are large, so they usually occupy two or three storefronts.

Likewise, the Papa John's seems really large... usually, they only occupy one storefront (it's just a kitchen and a takeout counter inside!).

So, you could just switch the Blockbuster and the Papa John's.

Also, Bank of America usually likes to be by themselves in their own building, so they can have a drive-up. When they are in a mini-mall like this, they usually have a larger space.  I'd suggest a dry cleaners or nail salon for that space instead.
