Glenni, the texture on the smaller building, it looks like it's almost streched to much.........Maybe try playing around with that, otherwise it looks awesome

[Glenni 1,444]

looks very good!! nice job!!

[Cjah 15]

I like the back side and those widows are great!

Can't wait for more!

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

It sure does look very nice! You sure do update a lot. But I guess you do work very hard. Great work on the detailing inside.

[ExiL3 10]

Nice work Glenni, and great improvement too! Though I think you should Tweak the textures a bit on the smaller office building, the rest looks really cool!

take care

[GaryReggae 80]

Looking good Glenni, maybe you should use Omni lights for nightlighting as I think they'd make it more realistic (although they can be a pain sometimes!!!)

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Gary, do they make it look as if there are lights on inside the room as opposed to a wall of light.

Yes, that's right, Omni lights act in much the same way as real lights, ie throwing light in all directions wheras the standard Maxis nightlighting just adds a bright texture to the surfaces it is applied to.  Where buildings have transparant windows, Omni lights look far more realistic.  The disadvantage is they increase rendering time and can require a lot of tweaking to get the effect right.

[Glenni 1,444]

agh plese no omnis now...ill do it on my next one .promise.....

well anyway  heres a 3rd building for the hospital kinda built in 2004

[NintendoMaster128 30]

How about you try to use some Omnis as nitelites?  It will make your BATs look more realistic.  Without the omnis plazas can look quiet dull and dark.  Nice job on your little blue building though, is this one going to be unsafe somewhere too so your hospital can get more business?

[Glenni 1,444]

Yes!it is going to have have laser beams that sometimes zaps sum one in the head!!!!11111oneoneoneoneone!!nah J/k i dunno..

[Glenni 1,444]

i have replaced the stairs with a gentle slope now instead and it has rails.those deatails are so  small that they arent worthy to show..but till show ya anyway....

[Glenni 1,444]

hehe i have tried with omni lights..didnt get so good....

[Cjah 15]

Kinda crazy with the lights,but the shape of the building is excellent!

[Glenni 1,444]

So it is notting more to with the hospital so now ive recently started a new bat. 13 story brutalist building that can fit between wall to wall buildings.and the company on the Billboard is a real life one Scandinavian Airlines.

Hmmn, try reducing the Intensity setting of the omnis, that should make them a bit less dazzling!  That's the thing with Omnis, they take a lot of tweaking to get right but it's worth the effort as they look a lot more realistic.

heh well that one was just an experimentyou seriously think that would be the final touch to it?hehe

[stephenhh 43]

Hi Glenni, your bats are coming along in leaps and bounds, I'm kinda jealous

Really looking forward to some norwegian residentials, will they be like houses in Bergen?

[Glenni 1,444]

And here's another update ive used the window texture from Dusktrooper's intregen gmax file.sorry this time i have no transparent windows.

hehe it's not an SAS building cinatit thats just a billboard

[Glenni 1,444]

Im gonna try making Norway's tallest building now.Radison SAS Oslo plaza.

 

it is 37 floors.

117meters/384ft

and built in 1990.

 

the main promblem is getting fitting window textures. PS.sorry for the a bit big pics.only way to show it completely you see.

[madawac 48]

Very difficult, indeed. Those buildings with mirroring facades are always very difficult to do... Maybe you could try a sky texture, with a bit lower glossiness and a higher specular level.

[franky_83 8]

So impressive, Glenni!  That's good work.  It seems Norway has loads of nice architecture...it is nice to see some Scandinavian bats coming out.

[Odd from Sweden 129]

Glenni, great building for a BAT! Just think of one thing! When You see the building from the ground like in Your pics, the sky is reflected in the glass. But when You see the building from the sky (like in Sim City), the ground is reflected in the glass.

Many Sim City buildings (even including some Maxis ones!!) have reflections of sky and clouds in the window but that is totally wrong! You never see that in an aerial view!
