Cockatoo's BAT Thread

fantastic work

[fusion_lemon 2]

that's great work! But I might had spotted that the night lights of the new AIG tower is messed up a bit... some sort of disorganized...

(sorry just a little thought of mine.... I wish I wasn't causing troubles or messing around =P)

I hope I can learn to BAT a few buildings in this summer, after the exam~

you are almost there!!! supportz!!!

[Cockatoo 2,256]

I know what you mean fusion_lemon, those were just some of my first test renders, I still need to work out a few things anyway . I'd never actually release something in that state, but if I can work out a few issues and make it seem more realistic then I may use that lighting technique to light up the new AIG and the Admiralty Centre.

Thanks for your feedback.

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Okay, double post- sorry.

Anyway, what do you think of this lighting?

Still in the process of re-doing the roofs, then it'll be ready to export.

[dadyrghluv 8]

i like it. it gives the buildings a depth look at night, and realistic looking as well.

i will say, the base may need a light here and their though. looks too dark to me. maybe an antenna on top with a red light as well for airplanes overhead to see the structure.

overall i love the lighting though.

[jacqulina 162]

very nice night lighting

[nihonkaranws 88]

Amazing work Cockatoo, you've inspired me! Thanks!

[mcarch 15]

Woohoo. Looks almost complete. Whats left?

[HONG KONG 74]

Very nice view .

I look forward to the next roof image. one ingame-pic would be great...

...BTW, light up the Advertisings ?

[Cockatoo 2,256]

The Admiralty Centre is rendered! Unfortunately I had to render the base and the two towers individually because of an issue with the night lights, and then put them together in the LE - so there's a few more small little issues I have to sort out in the modding stage.

First of all, there's this one thing that's really bugging me, I had to make the two towers props of course, but for some reason, props don't show up on zoom one in the game. Is there a way to get around this… (T-wrecks, Hong Kong? Help?)

Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, probably it’ll be on the STEX within a week or so.

Kelistmac, I'll send the landmark version to you soon, so you can make me some awesome STEX pictures if you want.

It grows like a weed btw, if you zone the required 4x9 tiles.

excellent looking building there

[HONG KONG 74]

Simply GREAT!!! I want it, right now

...open the "prop_desc_file" with SC4Tool and mark "Zoom 1,2,3,4,5" in "AppearanceZoomsFlag".

[Ke|is 3,333]

greetings

[tankmank 853]

wow looks amazing

[tankmank 853]

sorry accidentally clicked reply twice sorry

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Modding is complete, and it should be up on the STEX as soon as I get the pictures back from Kelistmac.

I've taken the time to read some tutorials and I've included a 9x4 growable lot, as well as a functional CO$$ landmark lot this time.

[mcarch 15]

Yay ohn the Fucnctional Landmark Lot!! Woohoo!

[spa 968]

That's really impressive work. I like that it fills the block out. The towers and base work well together and the night lighting is really great. The ads are a nice touch.The reflected building in the glass is a bit repetitive though the way it appears on all four sides and, in my opinion, a little bit too defined (I prefer a more vague glass but that's my own preference). Still that's really minor and this one will definitely find its way into my plugins folder.

[fusion_lemon 2]

it looks very nice~

waiting to download it

wooooow!!!

[____----____ 37]

just noticed the lippo (sp?) reflection, should be nice placed nextdoor that would be badass.

[tankmank 853]

If you are looking for something to bat perhaps try the Stanley market 

[fusion_lemon 2]

wahahahaha.... Stanley market!!!

would this be too challenging for cockatoo? XD

Too challenging!   Lol, they're just tin-shacks with a whole lot of roof junk.  I think something like the AC would be a lot harder than these would be. This actually looks like a really easy project because the modeling doesn’t exactly have to be perfectly neat and good textures would do a lot of the work for me.

Anyway, I'll do it! Could make a nice addition to the Hong Kong street pack, which I have been making more buildings for lately, I'll post some pics later.

[fusion_lemon 2]

Yipee that's great~~~ seems that cockatoo has full confidence in doing it!

At first I was stunned at those messy roof junks, signboards, wires and ACs which might be difficult for layout...

It would be a total new addition into the stex, I think there hasn't been anything like this on the stex yet......

[tankmank 853]

Wow i didn't think you would really do wow it will look amazing just going off what you have already created

Edit:1000TH Post YAY

[HONG KONG 74]

Some large pictures of the market : Download very large pics

[renemone 15]

Amazing work on the building.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

That market looks fascinating, will look forward to see how you take it on!

[villagemayor 0]

Wow recreating the Stanley Market will be a challenge, but will be a nice addition to any city. Yay Cockatoo for taking the challenge!
