Whoa, much better. Now I love it. I continue to love the cables on the skybridge!

1 word wow magnificent job i must have that building now

you must give it to me now (the building)

[MayorTim 16]

It would look awsome if you made the cables on the 2 lower skydecks about half the size of the top one it wouldlook much better.Oh and I would add to the hight of the gray anntena at the top to make it stand out. Just make it a little taller than the red and white anntenas, and add a lilinder to the top like this and it would look great.

 

 

Oh, and please excuse my horrid artistic skills.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

[joerg 280]

Acttually the grey poles is mearly the antena's support. Also not sure what your saying about the cables.

[otakunow 0]

hey you have some great i mean great artistic skills you should go to a art school and be the next picaso@!!!!! i mean it toohttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

[Stardog13 44]

Wow, that color change makes it look much better.

[MayorTim 16]

Hey! maybe I will lol.

 

And Joerg, By cables I mean the steel and cable frame jutting out of the building at the top and the 2 breaks in the largest tower. Oh ya, I also think you should make that support a 3rd antenna. I think the steel webbing and a massiv steel poll is a bit over boarg for 2 small antennas. It would look great if you just colored it a bit to make it look like an antenna and what not.

[otakunow 0]

is there a thread that tells how to make cables eh?

becuase i need to know how to ok!https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

[majorchief 0]

You have a real architectural flair.  I'll certainly download this tribute to capitalism for my city...

 

[joerg 280]

Well the steel webbing is mostly a decorative spire. And the 2 antenas are hardly small both standing at around 170 ft a piece they are enormous broadcast antenas. Anyhow time to start work on the base.

[otakunow 0]

are you going to send you building to bex becuase that is one kicka$$ building. i think your sims will be very happy

[+Guest]

Awesome Joerg! The only thing is the lighting on the resturant-cafe. Your probably not done with the lighting but I feel like pointing it out. Keep up the awesome work!

[otakunow 0]

i love that cafe hehhe you should put some sort of sign like starbucks for example right there to add some realism

[Masterbrew 0]

It's too polished, I'm afraid it'll look out of place in the game.

Heres an idea: Put a road or boulevard under the skybridge when you get to the lot editor and make it networkenabled.

[jcabassa 20]

Masterbrew, why the heck would you have a road 200 feet in the air running throgh a building? A skybridge is not for cars, you walk through it to get to the next building!https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/23.gif>

 

So Joerg, any updates yet?https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/4.gif>

Whoa, Masterbrew means on the ground under the bridge. It won't connect the buildings.

I'll ask too. Are there any updates?

[joerg 280]

Well guys im having just a horrible time with night lighting right now. Im trying to give the skydecks some night lights and some spot lights here and there aswell as improve the widnows but everyhting is going wrong and it just keeps getting worse. Most of the problem is that to achieve any shine in day tiem you have to place lights around the building. But the drawback is they become part of the night view in a way. So you get a night view that is a tad brighter. This is of course a bad thing. And i cnat even test the way it will loook in my game becuase the patch to fix night lighting in the game doesnt work for me. And then there is a probel wiht only being able to use beige windows which i really dont want on this building.

 

But the good news is i am done with the base and the second i am even a tad bit happy with the night view it will begin rendering and hopefully finish before i get home from school.

[jcabassa 20]

So can we see a pic of the updated base?

 

Just asking, not forcing.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

[joerg 280]

Here is a head on of the base its not to complex but it fits the building well i think. And im rendering what i hope to be the final preview of the night before the real render can begin.

[Smurfer2 7]

That looks, well, just awesome!

[vidioman 21]

That is a vary nice lot! Can't wait until its done!

[joerg 280]

Ok im not overly happy wiht soem stuff the bat render cuased but it looks pretty darn good.

 

It will be up for download in the next few minutes.

[jcabassa 20]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont get to excited im not very impressed. Problem is the building is just to dark in the game. I will probably have to rerender it later on. And i guess im waiting on this next publishing cylce whatever that is for the building to come up. How long is a publishing cylce anyways?

[jcabassa 20]

You're still uploading it though, right?https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif> I MUST HAVE IT! You can always update it in the future?

 

-jcab

[joerg 280]

Its already uploaded but im waiting for the next publishing cycle. Im nust not at all happy with the render the bat did.

[jcabassa 20]

Its uploaded? To the BEX? I don't see it.

 

Don't get discouraged! Your the creator, and in the creator's eyes, they always want to make it better and must add more, but in the viewer's eyes, it's perfect! Again, you can always improve and update it in the future.

[joerg 280]

The reason you dont see it is becuase of the way the bex now works. You see it has publishing cylces meaning lots are uploaded and they waiti in line until a publishing cylce is reached. Im assuming dirk did this becuase of the shear size of the bex downloads overloading the server whent they are uploaded.
