BAT of the year

[Amthaak 1,501]

Francesco: well, my opinion could be the most important but yours too...

I was also thinking to make 2 versions as you said, about the mod as it is an administrative bdg, I was thinking to make a CS$$$, but it's really open and any Ideas are welcome! It could also be an award to replace the SC4 justice palace, but in this case I don't know how to do it, any proposal are , in this case welcome too!

Sam: salut "cousin" I"am glad you like it the nitelite will come soon...

Ma pintage préférée: flatteur...

New ingame pic with better lot...

that's a beautiful model!!! I love it.

Without the flags it could fit well into latinamerican style cities.

[_marsh_ 1,117]

Amazing work. If I ever get to growing my city again ( ) I'l surley use this as my city hall.

[Amthaak 1,501]

I will definitively make a version without HK and RPC flags, I was thinking to make a version with a special flag:

It will be a veiled message to the Simtropolis community and also a kind of grateful thanks to the pioneers who, since 2003, created and participated actively to Simtropolis, specially to:

the "BigBoss" : Dirktator joined in jan 2003

The "Goddess" : Meg joined in march 2003

the "shaolin monk" : A Nonny Moose joined in sept 2003

The " incontestable reference ": Mrbisonm joined in march 2003

the "batters legends" : BarbyW, Andreas Roth, Dusktrooper, Nofunk and Odainsaker all joined in 2003

This list is of course a non exhaustive list...

Thank you all; Merry Christmas and "keep on Rockin' in the free world!

[Amthaak 1,501]

Just start nitelites:

[tcx 170]

Thanks for considering a version without flags. And the one with ST flag will be a nice and big thankyou for those who started making this site a legend and for those who keep this game alive.

Loving the nitelites!!

[HONG KONG 74]

For the meaning of that building in that game there are many possibilities.

Your fantasy knows no bounds ,

hopefully but a democratic version.

Oh yes for the flags.....left is Hong Kong and right is China...

[Vlasky 1,803]

Well you did it once again. It looks amazing, both night and day. Maybe night could use some glare?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Lovely the night lights looks great.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Thank you my friends , for the nitelites I am trying to use IES lites

Hong Kong: qbout the flags, do I have to understand that I have to interchange their positions?

Vlasky: good to see you back here, I was missing you

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Love it so much.

But how can you find such information.....

I have to say that I did'nt red all ... Only the blue paragraph, and I would like to meet the guys who wrote that...

As you know "a short drawing is better than a long speech" and left or right depends of your position vs the flags....!!!!

It seems that the guy in charge of placing the flags ignores the rules...!

It seems that there is something missing in the list! The national flag in windy wheather must flutter stonglier in the wind than the regional flag!

Next update! If nothing wrong to comment I'll export soon! Merry Christmas to all of you!

[Delecto 941]

[Vlasky 1,803]

I'd like it to be little less yellow tho, but it's awesome as it is

edit: I meant the lights lightning up the dome

[Simbourgeois 139]

Well, this BAT is looking just amazing! And the night lights add a very particular touch to it

Joyeux Noël, mon cher ami!

Bien à toi,

Simbourgeois

Maire de Belleville

[art128 4,618]

fantastic looking, I like the lighting!

[Francis90b 748]

I think that exporting should have a (green ) light

[Girafe 1,729]

Joyeux Noël vieille branche

A little bit too yellowish for the main spots, I am asking about the value of the glare too...

But as you are at a point that 99.9% of us have never reached It's just suggestions

For the next project I want something french

  Edited December 25, 2011 by Girafe  

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hello Friends! Hope Papa Noel was generous with you all this year!

Tonio, tu crois pas que tu exagere un peu....! The next one will be not french but for the next next one why not, any Idea my "pintade preferée"?

A little bit too much yellow and the glare "un chouia" too strong! what about now?

[Girafe 1,729]

topissimo, emballé c'est pesé

What did you get for Xmas?

Pour l'UNAM je te ferais un plus long mail je suis au taf

What's the next project, I am curious animal ^^

For french project if you want to stay in this "area" some Parisian Hotels could be nice like Plaza Athenee...

  Edited December 26, 2011 by Girafe  

[Vlasky 1,803]

I love it! It's perfect as it is now!

And I too can't wait to see your next project

[Delecto 941]

Fantastic job my friend!

[Francis90b 748]

That's even better than the previous render (i couldn't think it was possible, lol).

[art128 4,618]

I really like your work on the lighting!

[Roger51 381]

Stunning!

[Cockatoo 2,256]

I say it's very close to perfect!

The only thing I would suggest is to perhaps liven up that fairly uniform beige texture you're using for the night windows. That'll help to give the illusion that something's going on behind them... which isn't quite happening right now.

After that, and whatever else you need to do, I'd say that it's ready to hit the STEX! Do you plan to export this as an HD building as per your last day preview?

[gutterclub 2,729]

I agree with Cockatoo, with all the great work that's gone in, the night Windows look a little 'gmaxy'..

Other than that, AMAZING!

Also, with regards to HD..the argument will go on and on, but I don't really see the point..there are amples of HD renders in this thread to oggle over..if you zoom into Z6 in game you'll pretty much only achieve the same as looking in this thread as you won't be able to see anything else in Z6..not to mention file size, export time and the dreaded SC4 crashing when zooming in and out all the time.
