Hm, I thought you've mentioned modeling stuff in MAX... (ps actually you have said it clearly in the message 3 in this thread)

Well with GMAX I can't help you, sorry, don't really have any experience with it...

[delija21 295]

I was modeling in MAX,but the system is down on the PC i was working on and i have lost all of my files so now i'm using an old PC and gmax,btw here is some of my latest creations

Avala TV Tower(will be dedicated to Mike when it's finish)

Avala TV Tower looks good!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

The apartments look good as well, and they are sorely needed. However, I think the roof doesn't work with the taller version. The smaller one is nearly perfect, and I'd love to see an in-game pic of that model between some Maxis buildings.

[Gn_leugim 858]

i love that small apartment very nice!!! the others are good as well

[delija21 295]

T Wrecks: In RL both smaller and taller versions have same looking roofs,thay are communist/socialist apartments and thay all look pretty much the same, but if you have a better suggestion i'm more than happy to listen

btw this is the look of finished Avala,what do you think?

Good work Delija,

It looks wonderful! 

[mcarch 15]

Any night lights on the Avala? Maybe some uplighting...

[panthersimcity4 162]

I love that tower, but what's the big long ramp-like thing?

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Umm... a big long ramp?

Seriously, it looks like the entrance to the tower is reached via this ramp... looks a tad odd and will make the lot (no pun intended) a lot larger, but hey- if the building is like this in RL...

As for the apartments, I didn't know that you modeled them after real buildings. The taller version looked improbable to me, but I guess reality just proved me wrong. In this case, I'll just shut up and see how this develops. You're making good progress, so much is for sure.

[Gn_leugim 858]

hum... I don't like that ramp either.. to weird.. but the rest of the tower is great! but this is just my humble opinion

[delija21 295]

The entrance is reached via that ramp....i know it look realy odd and as far as i know it's the only tower in the world with the entrance like that(could be wrong) but that's how the tower is in RL(actualy that's how it was and will be in RL, it was destroyed in NATO bombing during Kosovo war and is now being reconstructed) so i didn't wanted to change it by making the entrance to the elevators under the tower

btw here is a picture of it

[Gn_leugim 858]

i see.. but as far as i can see in real life, the ramp came form a slope, not form the base ground.. maybe you could do a kind of hill from where you would start your ramp from

[delija21 295]

something like this???

By delija21 at 2008-06-02

btw here is something i've been working on last couple of days...Belgrade region

By delija21 at 2008-06-02

By delija21 at 2008-06-02

[Gn_leugim 858]

now it's much more like RL.. with a little of LE work, and you make it perfect especialy with flora. lots of it

[jacqulina 162]

great work and progress

[mcarch 15]

Don't forget nighlights!!! And Trees... maybe a door?

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I have a different idea for the ramp... you could make it a separate prop that overhangs a small and compact lot under the tower and extends into the air. This way, players could terraforma little hill, plop the tower next to it and see where the ramp ends... then they could sculpt the area around the ramp entrance to their liking - and they could even choose how far down and away the ramp will lead before it meets the ground! One player might make a very steep hill right next to the tower so that the ramp disappears in the ground quickly. Another player might prefer a lower hill further away from the tower so that the ramp would lead a few tiles away and a few metres down before it meets solid ground... just a thought.

[delija21 295]

T Wrecks: i was thinking of doing it like you said,but i wasn't sure if it could be done like that. Now i see it can so i'm going to make it a separete prop

btw here is an ingame pic of the map...what do you think???

Well made, I like the mountains and the river.  

[vocar 80]

Hello to you all. Delija21 you did some really nice work there. Well done.

I've also made Belgrade region but it is much larger. It is 8x8. That part here presented is, for example in 4 or 6 different cities in my region. I am a totally newbie in this. I've made it only by watching the map and using terrain forming options inside the game. It is too large to take one screen picture now to show it to you. I'll do it tomorrow, and it will be shown then. Please have it in your mind that this is my first ever done region.

It would be really nice if someone can give me the link to take terrain generator from the net ( just NOT the official simcity4 site ).

Cheers to you all.

[delija21 295]

Thanks guys,nice to see you like it,especially because that is my first map....here is some ingamepics of the avala tower but as you can see in pic 2,there is something wrong wtih the ramp....what have i done wrong and how can i fix it? btw the ramp is a separate prop

[Gn_leugim 858]

the only thing i can remember is to ask you if it was centred when you export it? i can only imagine that as a position situation.. or LODs.. btw, i like that idea

[delija21 295]

It was centered but that's not the problem....the problem are LOD's and it will be fixed tomorow i hope. I'm reconstructing Usce tower once again but this time in MAX....i hope it will look much better then the first time i made it

Your BATs have improved  since you started.  Is the ramp supposed to connect with the building? If so, maybe you should go to the lot editor again, change the view to one similar to pic 2, and move it in closer. That's all I can think of. Remember, things look different in different perspectives, case in point with your problem.
