[patriots_1228 51]

Upload these!!! you are incredible SR. I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. I love your BATs, many of them will fit perfectly in my city.

[SimFox 802]

The last one looks a bit like Beijing new 3rd tower of World Trade Center. But I thing the dome like structure on top goes really against the grain so to say.

[jacqulina 162]

very nice progress

[JakeMD 107]

wow, deffinely upload all of these, they are great!!

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks everybody for your comments!!

i did some modelling in the anntena and retexturing in the base. here is a complete render. 

transparent glass really takes longer to render but afterall it looks much better.

[ky72x 13]

Simply amazing work, keep it up!

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks ky72x for your comment

i started this building today but is not fininished, there is alot to do.

[Mr. Glamazon 9]

Hi SR! (ooooh! Can I call you se

[ky72x 13]

I agree, I think you should make more larger buildings like the big blue one you are working on along with your small mid-rises. I also think that since you did such an awesome job with that shopping center a while ago, I think you should try another one. Your new building is looking great. Keep it up!

SimRabbit, your bats are looking better and better!

However, I will have to bring up a comment that T Wrecks made regarding the Southern Bank.

You've given it too high a capacity with 4,000 CO§§§ jobs, but still made the 3×2 sized lot grow as stage 5.

That is way out of the stage densities set up by Maxis and is one of the main reasons why development doesn't work as intended with custom content.

In-game stage 5 CO§§§ lots have an average density of 24.87 jobs per tile.

The Southern Bank has a whopping 666.67 jobs per tile.

The Southern Bank will probably grow like a weed at stage 5, if there's a high demand for CO§§§, but it will most likely never redevelop. There are simply very few buildings available with that high a density, even among the stage 8 custom content buildings.

The largest in-game CO§§§ tower is the Pedriana Pharmaceuticals with a density of 443.94 jobs per tile.

A quick check with Wouanagaine's "X Tool" would give it 2,328 CO§§§ jobs (at a filling degree of 80%, for those who know what I'm talking about) and make it a stage 11 lot (3×2) for the CAM.

Having 4,000 CO§§§ jobs would make it no less than a stage 14 lot (3×2) for the CAM.

For correct alignment of diagonal buildlings, use Prepo's footprint models and lots, shown in this post and available under his name on the LEX.

There's probably some more useful information in that thread, eg. about the scale.

[autoVino 26]

that base is really something...

great job!  The architecture and design of this building really catches my attention.

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks everyone for your comments!!

quick update
i did this one today just for fun, does it look good?


thanks

 

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Hmm very 70s that last one, almost reminds me of a flatter version of Fosters Commerzbank in Frankfurt.

[Cleaner475 150]

love all your BATs can't wait to get hold of all these buildings - that last one is good

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks

i will do some detailing on that building upthere and will render it.

now into something else




its a hotel-residence.

[Sim shady 12]

wow you going on a BAT frenzy Everything is looking good!

[ky72x 13]

Both of your new buildings look good! Keep it up, and I hope that you do release them.

- Kyle

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks again for your comments!

now im doing an art deco building.

i will make a larger antenna eventually. 

i will do some work on the base too.

[Sim shady 12]

Oh yeah art deco baby! sooo.....how bout that thing we call the STEX? It sure looks lonely there, maybe you could upload a BAT to keep it company

[autoVino 26]

I love art deco... then again who doesn't?

Looks very nice, but a larger pic would be nice to see all the details... Looks like something that wouild go straight into nyc.

Very good BATs! This reminds me of the Key Tower by DT (I believe) and but that pic doesn't show many details, can you zoom in maybe? You are a fine addition to NDEX!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Art Deco! Boy, this reminds me - we desperately need more decent mid-rise and high-rise buildings for the Chicago and NY tilesets. You really seem to be good at just about any building style, by the way. Excellent stuff here!

[SimRabbit 48]

thanks

as requested

does the base looks good? 

the antenna is not finished btw

EDIT:

Something else started days ago

[ardecila 124]

Very interesting shape on the CompUSA - it has a professional, polished look. My only suggestion is to drop the palm trees from the BAT model, and render them separately as a prop. That way, it can be used in cities that aren't tropical - the user can just delete the prop file.

I also love the Art Deco building! It reminds me of Astoria Tower (another neo-Art Deco building, under construction in Chicago).

[crazyarchitect 7]

WOW, you have a cities worth of unreleased content lol , so very beautiful stuff you have a very great talent

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Can you post an even bigger screenshot of the art deco tower?  A zoom 5?

Right now all I have to say about it is that the base seems awkward.  Like it's this nice art deco tower with this massing that's just sitting on this box.  Maybe if you made the base conform more to the shape of the rest of the tower, they would seem more connected.  Also, the patio on the roof seems kind of strange in that particular place.

All of you new buildings are looking great.

Agreed.  I truely do hope that you release the Art Deco tower and CompUSA, those two look way, WAY to good to pass up.  Keep up the good work SR!

[jacqulina 162]

wow thats very nice the details are excellent

[patriots_1228 51]

SR if jesus was a bunny, you'd be it

your BATs are extremely NDEXy, and most would look excellent in my tropical cities. Now release them already!!!

[hamsterTK 93]

yes, everything you have shown needs to be released

if you do not then I will injure you
