Smurfer those Xs make the building that prety much the inspiration. Also this is by no means done its only a couple hours in. I will need to add alot of detailing yet aswell as build its base.

 

BTW DT do you always have to say things like that you make it seem like such a competion. just thaught i would put that in there. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

Heres the last update for tonight. I got back into acad and messed with the base some. Here is a quick render from acad. Also those of you who are good with autocad for some reason when importing to gmax im getting huge amounts of normal problems missing faces everywhere. Ive been trying not to use the mirror comand much on this building as thats usually what has been cuasing missing faces for me in the past but array seems to be giving me the same results. So is there a way to reduce the normal problem?

 

Image removed. Images to be 800x600 max thanks!

Not much was done but this will give you a better idea of the size and you can see the base. Also floors are now in place so you cant see the other braces and windows in the back.

[Smurfer2 7]

Thanks for the update Joerg. By the time this is done and in SC4 it will be very cool.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/10.gif> I love the roof, it's just perfect

 

One last thing, I'm not fully comprehending what this means: Smurfer those Xs make the building that prety much the inspiration..

 

Were the X's your inspiration? I'm afraid you lost me.

[DuskTrooper 314]

Nice work!  Cant wiat for the textured version!

[joerg 280]

Well progress is slow but i put a good amoutn of time into the roof and export to gmax today also i have all the night windows specidied. However im getting some terrible normal problems on the windows due to the autcad export. But i have some more eycandy so have a look.

I really want to know what you were talking about.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/12.gif> 

Thanks for the great pictures Joerg. I especially like the base.

[joerg 280]

I was just simply saying that i wont be getting rid of the Xs becuase i really like them and its the key building in seattle that has simialar Xs on the inside that inpired me to make this building.

Thank you Joerg for clearing that up. It makes sense because the John Hancock building in Chicago has them on the outside and I know I have seen them on the inside of some building too. I was with most things in BAT I'll grow to like it.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif>

[joerg 280]

Ok i opened it up and started playing with making some textures. Im really happy with how its all turning out so far. Now if i can gte night lighting done tommow it could be on the fast lane to the exchange.

Image removed. Images to be 800x600 max thanks!

Should i stretch the z any? I think it needs about 10% but im not sure.

 

Im really liking these earth tones on this building. Anyhow give me some feed back on the textures and such.

[n74704 21]

i like it a lot.  i don't think you need to change a thing, unless you want it taller.  it'll be a great addition to my regions.

Joerg, I don't think you should change anything. The scale looks pretty good.

Although, you could center the roof pieces on the supports. The pieces I am referring to are the curved lattices you have decorating the roof, I think they look kinda funny off center like that. If you can justify it though, then more power to you.

Very well done.

That sums up how I feel, except I think it's the right height.

[joerg 280]

Ok its about ready for release i may have it out tommorow.

 

Here are some pics of the final render in the game

[Dargor 17]

That looks cool!  It's great you added so much detail to the roof. Can't wait to download! https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/10.gif>

[jcabassa 20]

It looks awesome!!! You should make it a residential apartment!

[Smurfer2 7]

I love the roof, it's another great building by Joerg!https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/9.gif>

[vidioman 21]

It looks a little dark. You should add some flood lights to it.

[The Great Chozo 34]

Here's my honest opinion Joerg.

 

I think it is perfect. For the type of building you created the height is right on. The colors are think are just fine, no changes needed (you obviously aren't changing it anymore anyway.)

 

So yeah, damn good job. Oh and the lighting scheme is perfect as well.

Great work, joerg!

[MTLT_17 26]

Hey Joerg what city are you placing these buildings in? Is this a new city can we see some new pics if it is?

[joerg 280]

I have a jornal for the city its fairly new but hasnt stirred up much interest and i havent had much time so its not been updated in a week or so. Check it out though its named Joergon.

[joerg 280]

Ok its on the exchange now to figure outs whats next perhaps my mall.

[fire47251 0]

The new building looks great. And a mall would be just as cool!

[jcabassa 20]

I love the new building!!!! I can't wait until you start on your next project!

 

-jcab

[vidioman 21]

You're making a mall? Cool!

[joerg 280]

Ok i didnt know where else to ask this but why am i back to lot builder status? I have been mod squad groupie, mod squad, bat sqaud, lot builder squad, and bat squad but now im all the way back to the bottom again.

Oh and i have been for the last 2 days rendering an update to the the bank of simcity plaza it is brighter bigger and better than before. Anyhow i should have it done rendering tonight. Its going pretty quick now. Its rendering on my other computer whihc is a plain old 1600+ but its making pretty good time. Right now its at about 36 hours half way through zoom 3 and with the model being biggger and my good computer taking 21 hours i would say its doing pretty good.

[The Great Chozo 34]

Joerg,

 

I noticed in the comments line of the building download screen, that you were having problems making the Blue Rock growable.

 

I just tried it, and had no problems. I don't know why it is doing that to you, but it works for me. I had to build it on a CO$$$ 4x4 lot, but it works.

 

Toroca posted a comment that said he got it to work as well. So if you want Toroca or myself to make some growable versions for you, let either one of us know.

 

The building looks superb in the game.
