Sorry my friends I didn't bat for quite a long time due to unexpected and sad familly event. I think I shall be able to come back soon batting on LegCo project! Thanks a lot for all of you who follow and comment this thread

I just make some trial today to check if I didn't forget to much during this absence! But it seems that batting is like ridding a bike, you don't forget so easily

[Evillions 552]

Will this be a prop or part of a model? This would really be useful for 3rd world countries CJs.

[Girafe 1,729]

sad for the event in your family

time to open the bottle and forget, for the bottle check the desk of the boss

This motocyclette is really good

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Sorry for the sad family event. I really like the new bat of yours.

[Cockatoo 2,257]

Ha, I don't think that's for SC. He's just having fun.

[Roger51 381]

Great work on the bike Amthaak!

So sorry to hear about the current events going on, hopefully you can find strength and get through it. But it is wonderful that you are back to BATing

[harishna 847]

Beautiful model, there is no much you can do about some things in life...

[Francis90b 748]

It's a good news that you will be getting back to work on the LegCo project .

Hi my friends, thank you so much for your kind words! As promise hereafter some evolution of the Legco! I think the roof junks are nearly the end...!

Looks like it's 100% finished on the day scene, ready for those night lights. keep it up friend!

[Jasoncw 11,949]

It's coming along well.

[Seraf 1,239]

Il looks beautiful Besides that I think the stone on the facade is too dark (dirty), it looks like some buildings in my home city that weren't renowated after war...

[Girafe 1,729]

looks good papy

[Delecto 941]

Look great!

[Amthaak 1,501]

Delecto: merci Samy

Girafe: M..de! Y'a plus d'respect:

Seraf: You are not wrong...but, Hong Kong durst...! No way...to have it clean

Jason: your comments are always very appreciate!

Graham: I like your optimim, let say, 90% Do we have a deal..?

Nobody talks to much about "textures quantity", this scene has more than 120 different ones! I have no idea if it's a lot or not...!

The flag is the HK one, just miss the chineese one!

[Francis90b 748]

It looks really nice!

I'd say to make it a little less sooty, as much as HK smog might allow .

[Amthaak 1,501]

Dear Francesco, I should ask Seraf how to make it cleaner...! Maybe I can tell him how to make his bats dirtier

What you ask is not easy... but I try...!

[Girafe 1,729]

This green is strange

[Amthaak 1,501]

Girafe: I suppose you are talking about the 2 "small" palmtrees...! I did'nt really work on the texture

Et encore, je me suis retenu...!

[Girafe 1,729]

hehe

The flag is top, on your pic the roofs seem to be darker but for me it's good as they are now

Good to see you back

[Delecto 941]

Superb, I really like the latest version, the less dirty.

Tu comptes tes textures?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

know that building, i live it

[art128 4,622]

beautiful, what can I say more ?

[Seraf 1,239]

Dear Francesco, I should ask Seraf how to make it cleaner...! Maybe I can tell him how to make his bats dirtier

Yep, maybe if we work together our buildings will be masterpieces of perfection

I think 120 textures is quite a lot. For my farley post office I did something about 100.

[Francis90b 748]

Looking at the existing building i think that the best thing in absolute would be to have the colour of the lower twoo floors of the building matching with the colour of the third one, below the cupola and it's basement.

The third floor areas with the gabled roof should have a colour matching with the one of the area below the cupola as well.

I'm basing this^ on this:

I don't know about your plans, but personally i find the texture you've used on the third floor area below the cupola to be a nice compromise between HK soot, and the light appearence of the stones and the paint in the pic i've mentioned.

It also looks like the (wood?) floor on the 2nd floor's loggias can use a more saturated and darker texture.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, and see a shoot of your material editor .

[Amthaak 1,501]

I have to say that I am quite satisfied with this one, but 'cause I have " the nose in the middle of the handlebars" it's quite difficult to have an objective opinion! That's why I need you guys

Ingame pic:

[Francis90b 748]

Please remember, your opinion is the most important, since you "know" this building more than everyone else there .

I really like it!

Whatever thing you might do about the colour or the soot, just remember to keep all the parts with the same (or a similar) degree of ageing, weathering etc.

Maybe you can do two versions, an HK-specific one, with the flags, and one without them, that can be used in a wider range of cities...but this is just a petty suggestion...as i'm aware that it might take very long to export just one of them.

What do you plan to do about it's modding? How should this BAT function in game?

[Delecto 941]

Absolutely gorgeous BAT, how can you improve it? No idea, everything seems to be in the right place.

I agree with Francis90b a version without the flags may be welcomed!

I'm looking forward to the first nightlight view.

Salutation mon ami!

Sam.
