Compliments, that's really beautiful.I really like much of your texturing.Not fully convinced by the white walls though.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi Francis! Well, you are right about the walls, I try to make a gradient with white on the top and "greenish shadow" at the bottom, and it is better but I am not totally satisfied. What do you think I should do? Thanx for yr support!

[jacqulina 162]

just right

[Amthaak 1,501]

New texturing, hope you like it better...The pics show the Brickell on the river south (with now the main entrance) + the complex parking&swiming pools. Thanks a lot for your (positive) critics .

[Gn_leugim 853]

wonderfull, Maravilhoso

you should one day tell me how you make those trees

[Amthaak 1,501]

Muito Obrigado. For the trees, no problem , I will try to make a tutorial, but you'll see it's easy to make these kind of trees like Palm or banana, or bushes, now to make oaks for instance I tried without succes. Maybe you know this link: http://www.cgtextures.com/

If you haven't, go to take textures of palm or banana it will usefull for the tutorial.

[Gn_leugim 853]

yap, i know the site what I wanted most was oaks actually ^^ bu maybe from palms I may do those

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hereafter is the small tutorial I promised to Wagner about the Dalian WTC antenna. It answers to Wagner's question which was : "How I make it". In any case, I pretend that it is the best way or the only way, my only preoccupation was, with the (small) knowledge I have,  to get this (acceptable at least for Wagner and I) result.

[Francis90b 748]

Sorry for the late reply.My suggestion would be to add a bit of darkness on it (something subtle, and not a gradient) and to make the whole texture a bit more blue-ish.All the other textures looks really good, and water texture is wonderful.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Got it ! I'll try it tomorrow thanks a lot Francis!

[Amthaak 1,501]

Following Francis recommandation here is a new texturind trial (BAT north will came later...)

[Francis90b 748]

It looks better indeed! My next suggestion is to add some variations to the windows.

BTW your last upload looks wonderful!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

This is coming along quite well!

[Amthaak 1,501]

Yes Francis, about the windows I have already used a texture with some "reflexion" But it seems that it is disappearing due to the I  some transparency (80%)I added  and the result in the render is what you in the Pics . Hereafter , there is no transparency.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi Jason! Thanks a lot for your encouragement . Coming from a Master like you, I take that for a big congratulation!

[tcx 170]

Hi, your lastest BAT looks amazing, I like everything, the textures, the pools, ... everything.

I will download and use that residential tower as is, but ...

I think this will also be great if you do 2 different BATs from that model, one the Tower itself and other with the 10-storie building with the pools on roof, this is not a request is a suggestion .

[Cockatoo 2,256]

This latest one is looking fantastic! Not much IMO can really be done to improve this in Gmax. If you plan to get this into Max, do so now, otherwise export to SC4!

You are coming along in leaps and bounds.

[jacqulina 162]

thanks for the farm my friend,

and excellent  building,great progress,great trees

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi Cockatoo,  I didn't understand the meaning of yr last sentence, Does it mean that I reach the limits of Gmax (In other words next target must be done with MAX??? Hum... !!! I'm afraid you are right especially when I see what can be done with reflexion on windows!!!

Hi Jacky, it's my pleasure, If you want the other farms , just tell me!

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

[jacqulina 162]

yes please i would love to have your other farms,thankyou 

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Make a new scene, and then go to File>Merge and merge in your old scene into the new one.

btw, I have texturing advice, but I won't have time to write up my advice until a few days (it's the end of the semester).

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi Jason: Thanks a lot... hereafter is the proof! I am too much impatient to read your texturing advice!

Forgot the West View...

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi everybody, can somebody tells me what is the problem... Hereafter the pic...!

[Gn_leugim 853]

I had that error before, If I remember, after restarting the software it was fine. if not, do the "all solution" technique lol

[Cockatoo 2,256]

This happens from time to time. At a guess I'd say your model is probably too large for Gmax to cope with.

If your poly count is too high (I've found the cut-off point to be about 350,000) then Gmax can't export your model, just because it’s an old program with limitations. Judging by what I can see in your picture, you've almost certainly exceeded your limit.

Not to worry though, Max would be able to export that with no issues at all.

So basically you can go two ways from here. If you still plan to export this from Gmax, then you need to trim down some detail (namely the flora) to end up with lower poly count (and a less amazing end result) or you could export this to Max and end up with a fantastic result and still keep all your details.

If you have no success getting this into Max via the method we talked about in our PM's, maybe send me the Gmax file (in a .zip folder!!) and I'll see if I can do it. Because of the sheer size of this thing, it’s gonna be a challenge though!

[art128 4,618]

That complex is just impressive my friend !!

[jacqulina 162]

happy birthday my friend

[Amthaak 1,501]

Dear Jacky thanks a lot to remind me that I get one year more ... (I'm joking...) It is very nice of you, in fact we can't do nothing against ageing, BUT, nobody obliges to grow up!

Dear Cockatoo: the zip file is something like 3.5Mb, (the model is closed to 70 Mb!) Looking at what you've done with AIG bgd, I am already convince of all you said. I really appreciate yr offer. Try yr Best My friend! If you succed I will consider that as my best Birthday present!!!

BTW, I didn'nt put the texture 'cause , even with ZIP it take a lot of place, and because I 'll do it again it's not necessary to add

Dear Gn: thanks a lot , I really like yr sence of humour, Parabens para seu CJ!
