SR and his first BAT!!!

[skyliner22 16]

Omg talk about a BAT explosion, now that the STEX is fixed, you have no excuse not to release! Especially the tropical residential towers!!!!!!!1

[flame1396 9]

Release dammit!!! I searched you on the stex. 5 files? I frowned

I love jsut about everything you've yet shown. Especially the CompUSA

[Amerikaner 42]

WOW SR this all is amazing I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BUILDING- I HOPE TO GOD THAT you release it as it is amazing.

[SimRabbit123 6]

Reviving this thread...

I now have a demo copy of 3ds 7 I think.
I have the installer on my HD so when the 30 days remaining run out I will just install it again.
well anyways


Pretty simple simple shape and colors.

uh oh looks like someone forgot their password

interesting design on your newest building

[SimRabbit123 6]

Simshady: How you know???

I did this small chair just for fun following a tutorial and I think it came out pretty good. 

[Jazzmaster 716]

Heh heh, I was wondering about that...kinda easy to tell SimRabbit123 was the same person (lol). These are marvelous BATs though, I especially like the CompUSA; it might even give SimGoober a run for his money!

Can't you have ST e-mail you your password? I really liked how your old name had no numbers, lol.

Yeah... I thought so too...

Are you currently working on anything at the moment?  I think you should remake that shopping center you made a few months ago.  Everyone really liked it!

[SimRabbit123 6]

i will look into that!

meanwhile, I will focus on this

[Chris M 406]

The shape of the tower is great. I really like the additional lattice around the initial steelcage. However, I think the textures on the palm trees should be a tad darker, they look sort of plastic and fake looking right now.

[SimRabbit123 6]

thanks DA for your comment

Caustics!!!!!!!!!

New tower Im working on.

[Sim shady 12]

dang out of the blue your stuff has taken a big step in quality very nice

[autoVino 26]

that is awesome!  I don't know why but I have an obsession with the realism that can be achieved with 3ds max and mental ray :-p

The building looks great

[crazyarchitect 7]

OMG to all of your work

[Chris M 406]

It looks good, another great form of geometry!  Would you mind posting a few SC4 shots of the tower?  That way I can help you because right now with the previews you've posted I can't tell what needs to be fixed because the textures look like they all blend in with each other which will cause loads of detail to be lost in further zooms.  Try adding some contrast to the building.  Maybe a darker steel texture or a darker glass? 

[hamsterTK 93]

Love the base, I hate when buildings in simcity seem to stand right on the ground without an entrance lol. Anyways, to second DA I think it may look good with a little more contrast.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I agree a lot about the contrast, definitely needs to be more contrastful.

[bbfan02 23]

Very nice job on it so far!

[paulvmontfort 616]

I really like what you're doing here, but I think it's time you'd release something

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work your doing here

[SimRabbit123 6]

My 3ds Max trial license is about to expire soon, so Im back with GMAX.

This building took me no more than 4 hours to finish it. 15 minutes to render this low quality render.

[Chris M 406]

Is that interior lighting? It looks quite good. However, I'm not sure about that glass texture, try something a tad darker and make the steel more dark. I have a great texture that can be used for steel if you want me to send it to you, just reply.

[patriots_1228 51]

damn getting quick eh? nightlights look great!

[SimRabbit123 6]

Yes it is interior nightlighting.

Could you post those textures here or via PM? anyway would be ok.

thanks pat

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Yeah, I agree with DragonAnime that the steel should be a bit darker, but not a ton more.

Also, I've noticed this about your other BATs.  The spandrels in real life are usually opaque.  Or if that's just a different type of glass, then there needs to be a more substantial horizontal opaque area somewhere.

And the base is looking really lame, lol.  It's not finished off at the bottom, it just sorta ends.   I don't know what exactly you need to do but you should do something.

[Chris M 406]

Here are some textures that are good for steel:

 

 

I have tons more. If you want, I can send you them via PM.

EDIT:  Oh, and always apply a face UVW when using these to get the best result.

I just looked through this whole thread and I am amazed, Im also new at Bating, but my first Bat didn't look anywhere near as good as yours. And you did that newest building in 4 hours! It took me 4 hours just to do a satellite dish!! I cannot help but be discouraged, is there something I am doing wrong? I did the tutorial by phillippbo on the omnibus. Are there any other tutorials I could do? You are able to put so much quality and detail into your work in such a short amount of time. I would really like to know how you do it.

[bixel 1,223]

Thou hast been given a great power

May the Internets be with you!

[paulvmontfort 616]

nice, nice and nice
