It looks very realistic! Just like the metro entrance in Grensen. Good work.

Nice BATs Glenni. I like the textures and it is very...strange...that you put billboards on the side of your buildings. That is an great idea. And...is that supposed to be 799 dollars or 7.99 dollars?

    I like the billboards Glenni.  They give a sense of realism to higher density C§.

    Glenni!!! Beautiful building there. Can't wait for it! That's going to be a sweet addition to STEX, what size we looking at 1x1?

    Are you planning on making more diagonal buildings?

    Good news people the modern style subway station is rendered!and yes it will be the typical subway size(1x1)

    In the mean time here is something which will bring some urban decay to sc43.gif

    The picture its to big for ST rules so click here people!

    Also just slightly larger than 800x600

    Well what do you know..this one is to big to...

    Nice. I always love to see w2w buildings in the works. Before you changed the texture the commercial building looked like it might be from China Town.

    hmm interesting twist but the idea is to make it a Co$$ building though which looks likee it is in a bad area and the clutter arround it is constantly  trashed by Chavs/Gangstas or whatever punks you have in  your country.2.gif

    Yeah, but the building rocks - except for the stupid-looking trees. 3.gif

    There are just too few "Average Joe" office blocks on the STEX.

    wow! your doing some great stuff and i like it a lot. the brick t bane station that your working on looks like it would fit in well in a chinatown setting. personally though, i like the darker brown brick texture for it although it looks great either way.

    that ugly looking office building your doing looks great also. i like the sunken plaza and the parking garage entrance is great. we really do need more of this type of building here.

    and lastly, that club is fantastic! i like the redcarpet and the martini signs along the building. maybe you could have those martini signs be neon lights. that would look great. also have the indigo sign at the top be in lights but i'm sure you've allready planned on doing that.

    great work and i can't wait to see what else you do!

    I like this. The interior is just wonderful and the martini glass is a nice touch too. Should make a nice addition on any corner. I only have two suggestions. First the grafitti is a tad overdone in my opinion. Keep it on there but maybe just cut some of it out. Two, the car around back just doesn't look natural. Maybe it's the fact that the windows aren't textured but I just don't think it fits. Anyway, looking forward to this one.

    Looking good, however I have some points:

    - Contrary to the roof, the trim texture looks too clean and spotless.

    - You're overdone with grafitti.

    - The nightlighting at the front is too strong and too yellow.

    - Some of the internal lighting escapes to the trim. Maybe try setting the "Casts Shadows" option.

    - Except for the internal lighting there is no other lighting. I would recommend that you put a distant Omni with carefully set attentuation parameters, eg have the building within the far attentuation range of the Omni and set intensity to 1.0-1.4

    With the above fixes you may get a perfect BAT! Good luck with this!

    i am  aware of that light leaks at some places,and i am working on fixing that,and dude, i have been aware of the "casts shadows" option for a lonoong time, and i have put simple   walls of light on the non transparent windows,it's just that it wont show because i have opened the folder where the nightlights are and now they wont show,it's not so serious for me though as i wont render it anyway

    as for the graffiti, i will keep that3.gif this building has nevrer really been intended to show of the back anyway ,it is supposed to have other buildings at the approx same heigh connect to the ends of it
