Frogface BAT buildings

[frogface 352]

got rid of fence, added the word police onto it, also made the glass a bit more translucent
so how does it look now?

edit: sorry for the poor quality,i'll remember to do a low quality preview next time

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

This really is looking amazing, alot more realistic than the original effort.

It has a style which is very simple (as it would be - after all Police forces only have limited budgets and wouldn't spend alot on 'fancy' buildings) yet is eye catching. Also the helipad fits in, in an appropriate way. The flooring below looks cable of taking the weight of a landing helicopter.

I'm very impressed.

You should move the Police sign to the diagonal corner, so it can be seen by all when the lot is placed on a corner. It could have some I-HT jobs for the Forensics people, and some police jobs (obviously).

It should also have some sort of rear entrance, for the actual officers and other personnel, as well as bringing people in. The front entrance wouldn't have that same sort of heavy, fortress-y quality IRL.

Basically what Bertrum said a few posts back, plus the diagonal-corner sign comment.

[frogface 352]

moved the police sign:

should i leave it at that or put the police sign in all of the corners?
i also worked on a compound at the back where the prisoners are brought in and the staff park the cars

also dont mind the fact the floor is black, textures will be done in LE so i can actually place props there

[Superstar 69]

wow, looking really nice

 

I think you should put the police sign, one in the front and one in the back but that is only what I think....

[subedei 3]

Looks good so far. Keep up the good work.

did anybody hear anything about Kingscross???

[frogface 352]

i rendered the police station...but i forgot to center it so the footprint of the building turned out strange and skewed
i'll have to try rendering again tonight so hopefully it'll work ok this time..sorry for the delay but with kings cross you should all be used to that now

The police station looks better than the last time I saw it.

[simwario 95]

I think you should leave the sign, where it is now.
And yes, it looks much better than before. Nice job.

[vidioman 21]

Wow! It looks good! Nice to see more buildings like that, both low rise and alternatives to the police stations in the game.

[Odd from Sweden 129]

Just one little request about the sign, the letters on signs like this are usually centered around the vertical axis like this

P
O
L
I
C
E


- not like

P
O
L
I C
E

[frogface 352]

got it rendered into the game and lot made,
odd: as you can see i centred the sign at the last minute, it does look better, thanks for that
just need to make a custom icon and sort out the lot and it should be up on the STEX soon

[gshmails 534]

Looks great, very realistic but will stand out in the game.  Wonderful!

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Where are you going? do you think you'll find inspiration there? (for more BATs that is - I mean you may find some spiritual inspiration too, depending on where you're going, but that wasn't really what I mean't - just to clear things up so that you know what I mean)

[dudyconstructor 40]

Nice but i particulary don't like to use custom buildings in the game civil buildings as Police St, Hospitals, and etc

great work!

[frogface 352]

back from my holidays... so that means
new project time!

so.... ive finally decided to take up this new building:

what is it? (well the filename gives a bit of a clue )

im going to attempt st paul's cathedral in London, possibly one of the most famous cathedrals. this is where iam at so far, certainly got a lot more to make!
any pics of the real building would be appreciated

[ert90 8]

Wow looks great, can't wait for this one!

[JaWood 194]

Boy look at all of that ornimental work on that thing. This is going to be a nice building!

[The_New_Thing 34]

Wow,your going to make St Pauls`s!I can see half of the dome from my window,and those towers.From what I can see from here it looks quite grayish,the dome is a darker gray,getting lighter towords the top,as for those towers,they are the same light gray colour,with the mini domes the same as the main dome.

[subedei 3]

Looks very impressive forggie. Keep up the good work.

This is going to be a fantastic BAT, which may even rival Kings Cross, if it ever gets released onto the STEX (I'll stop mentioning the Cross now). The Cathedral itself is pretty large and dominating in reality. For a long time the city of London restricted other buildings from being taller than St Paul's or from being constructed in locations that obscured it's view. That is one of the reasons London doesn't really have a cluster of skyscrapers.

 

What do you think the plot size for this will be?
