Wow, that's looking very promising! To be honest, I liked the first version a tad better. The night lights fade out smoothly there, and you can see more of the pool area. The stairs are also better lit. Imagine one of those bikini girls falling down the stairs while getting another Caipirinha!

About the error, just change your lights to a different type (raytraced). If you'd like an area shadow effect, you can create a photometric light, have the type set to raytrace, and then there is a rollout called "Shape/Area Shadows" which you can use.

Your preview renders are looking very very dark, even for DarkNite renders.

I have to agree with Jasoncw that the renders look very dark. I have been quietly following this project for a while and I have to say it's stunning! I'm wondering what you'll do next

jack_wilds: Hi james, thanks a lot for your support!

Evillions: if it helps my team to stay "Best 2010 batting team" it's enough for me. But the competition is very tough!

Hi Jason: thanks for the tip! well! I find it also a bit too dark, I though it was due to Darknite render! I try to put a direct spot in orderto get it lighter... your advices are still welcome (master...!  )

Hi Paul! for the next steps... try to follow your advises...just ask, I try to do...

I just add a spot on the frt! I 'll do the same for each sides! BTW it's normal that you cannot see the old Bdg! I temporally hide it for render time purpose!

! Share And probably make Version 1.1

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Great progress!  Are you going to light up more room windows, though? 

[bixel 1,228]

Night lightening looks superb, I concur with T wrecks, some of the windows need more simulated night effect

[Roger51 381]

Nice work Amthaak, the plants look better, and maybe a few more rooms at night would be better, can't wait to see the bottom building with its night lights

[Evillions 552]

How did you do that night render? How do you apply nighttime windows onto the night view? Also, how are you to combine both day and night renders?

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi friends! and thank you all to follow this thread! That's really help me to finish the work...!

Aaron: I will not call that talent, just 3dsmax is a fantastic tool! You'll see when you 'll move to it...

mightygoose: who knows...!

Hong Kong: Glad to see you around! I am suppose to make also the old version too...

TWrecks, Bixel and Roger: thanks a lot for your warm comments, the following update include your request. In fact, the last update only includes a ground map reflection. I prefer to go step by step. The next update include some lighted windows, I shall maybe light also some windows in the central part of the tower!

Evillions: I didn't forget that I told you how I do the nitelites! First, I use 3ds max 2010

Basically I use 3 tools :

- for the small lights in front of the tower, on the heliports (white and orange ones) iI use the self-illumination (glow) tool in the material editor

-for the ambiant lights: I use to light the interior,the omni lights, and for the ecxterior the target light!

-for the target light, I sometime use a map (jpeg) to simulate special effect like the water reflection!

-For the windows reflection , I light a ground map representing a night scene (I normally take a pcture that I rework using Paint Shop Pro).

To light a window, I just create a small rectangle located just behing the main window, and I texture it with material with sel-illumination!

Hereafter a top view to show what I expalned. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

and now the update:

[TowerDude 2,187]

What else can I say, the nitelites are really amazing, but the textures are bit yellow, I'm sure it's done deliberatly, but why ?? ?? this is great I hope one day i'll be able to BAT like you

[Chris M 406]

That's what I call a BAT. Fantastic job.

[mightygoose 92]

I don't care about fielsize if you release this with a HD version i will send flowers to your house.... and love you more than the old spice guy....
