Well....I just said I was going to re-make 85 West Street....and NYBT member Darknono35 is working on the World Financial Center Complex( I believe so since he made One WFC...) And NYBT member Aaron all ready did the Transportation Building(it just isn't uploaded yet...). Hanson also did One Times Square...and I just posted progress of old WTC 7 that I was working on it. And the Omnibus can help you out with your BATs. We can't stop you though from making your own New York BATs, but good luck.

TWrecks, thank you for stepping in.

Welcome back Seraf! I can't wait to see some your works in progress!

Hey Aaron, speaking of your Transportation Building, when are you going to release it? I still have it if you need it.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I hope to upload it soon.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Welcome back Seraf.

Odd, I can cut-paste the links into the browser address bar as well, and the images of the wonderful cathedral will show.  Of course, ImageShack sometimes chooses to work when it wants to, and when posting or reading messages with multiple images from ImageShack, often several may not be working.  It is as though different ImageShack servers go offline or are busy at different times.

What I would suggest here on the Forum, however, is to avoid using the "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the thread page when posting links or images.  While terribly convenient, the "Quick Reply" lacks many features of a proper message editor.  Instead, use the green "Reply" button on the last message just above the "Quick Reply" box, which will bring up the "Reply to a Message" pop-up window.  While technically this would be replying to a specific message in the thread (the one whose green reply button you pressed), it is not generally presented that way, as much of the thread is a run-on conversation anyway with new messages all being added to the bottom.

The benefit of the "Reply to a Message" pop-up window is that web addresses entered or pasted into the text area are automatically converted into functional, clickable links, which avoids the need to later have thread readers copy-paste addresses into their browser address bars.  You can further edit properties of links in order to make them trigger off of certain words or open into new windows, etc.

The more useful feature of the "Reply to Message" window is the "Insert/Edit Image" button, which allows you to display images in a message, control their sizing, and even make them into image links.  When using this button with ImageShack, you will want to use the "Direct Link" provided by ImageShack when you uploaded your image there, as this will provide the correct formatting and addressing while avoiding the all the pop-ups, frames, and advertisements associated with the other ImageShack-provided links.

Parisian: Those images of your church look extremely promising. Take as much time as you need to get the textures and lighting perfect. It should be beautiful.

Parisian: follow Odainsaker's little guide and you shouldn't have a problem. Could you make a preview render for us?

[Parisian 549]

Well, I m making a test, but i m facing some problems to join pics to my post... Maybe it's a problem of my computer of something else from me...

Thanks for your advices Odainsaker, i m trying to follow!

I ve upload my cathedral from BAT to LotEditor, like this, you will be able to judge how does it look like for the day render.

But, the main problem remains the nightlighting that I don't know how to realise.

[Simcity player 13]

nice

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Parisian- It definately looks promising, but you do know you have to model out most of those details right? So far certain areas have the appearance of a "textured-box". And that's alot of details for you to model out there....

Well I know what BAT I really want to work on now for NYBT(WTC7 is on hold)-

22 Cortlandt Street in the Financial District. Long way to go. It's going to be a little easier since the back is a blank wall. So a modern W2W building. Interesting...interesting.

btw greetings from Berlin

[T Wrecks 10,209]

[Moderator note: removed some text because it had become obsolete and confusing after some thread clean-up.]

@ SimFox: You're in Berlin, eh? Believe it or not, I've never been there myself!   Well, I hope you'll enjoy your stay! You're travelling around quite a lot, aren't you?

@ SgtPepper: Hm, it should be interesting to see how you'll bring that box to life and make it interesting. Good luck and have fun with it!

[Parisian 549]

Oh, Simfox, you re from Berlin. A fantastic city, I remember a very good place called "Tacheles" in Oranienburger strasse... Good souvenir!

I m a neighbour for you compared to most of NYBT members here.

Anyway, sorry for my bad behaviour last time...

[TheOlympics 546]

Was the millinieum hilton hotel also removed because I remember seeing it more recently but now I don't see it.

AFAIK, he doesn't live there, but I'd better shut up and leave the answer to him. he should know best.

"Tacheles" in the Oranienburger Straße, eh? Gotta remember that for a visit to Berlin.

Just FYI, everybody - I did some major cleanup on this page in an attempt to re-focus it on the actual thread subject. I edited some posts (including my own) to remove all references to stuff I deleted.

[Jumpthefence 74]

Yeah, you gotta hate when people get off topic, eh?

BTW, today was my last day of school! Yay for me!

Page flip, can we call it the rage flip too, in honor of the Great Todd's rage-iness?

Speaking of Todd, I see you finally got that CML! If I remember correctly, you were slapped with a trout the first time you asked.

I like trout.

But back on topic, I'm trying to get these BATs done. On to the BATs!

Comments, anyone? How's the nightlighting?

I don't have much to say...

St Patrick's Cathedral is lookin' mighty fine.

Seraf: Welcome back!

Brandon: Sparatic Building Creation FTW! Let's not try and get too out of hand, though. Once you present something, people will expect you to finish it. And that sucks.

Everyone: I'm going to around so much from now on, you're going to be sick of me! Or amused! But probably the former! Have a great summer! Why am I yelling!? Et cetera!

[Sgt Pepper 864]

We've been getting off topic lately... I hope the pageflip bug is gone...it took me 3 annoying posts to get it work...

@TWrecks- Major clean up indeed...you shined the posts to a shiney shine...of something...shiney...

@SimFox- Greetings from Nowhere Land!

@Parisian- So you're from Berlin? Wow, we all have different places we live that is just far from NYC. I'm deep down south in the states....my computer is in a marshy bog...

@Dethsrow- I guess...I can't remember what happened to those...I re-uploaded them for Hanson at this other site but that site got taken down...

@Jumpthefence-My last day of school was over weeks ago. And the Page Flip should be called Rage Flip...or how about the Flippin' Rage Flip? And how come you know my name but I forgot yours....? Silly southern me... AND I DEMAND THE RELEASE OF THOSE AMAZING BATSsssssssss.!!!!!!!!..1.11!?

@Todd- The CML suits you well. But I'd rather it say "The Russian Bear".

22 Cortlandt Street progress. w00t. Excuse teh quality of the render...my computer in the marshy bog takes for ever to do a HQ render...

Billy Shears will be back with more...

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Looking good folks!

JTF: I didn't get slapped with a trout because I asked for a CML:

All the cool kids were doing it.

As for your lovely houses, I think they are just about ready. I think the pink bricks could still use a little refining (as not to look so salmon~y), but that is nit picking at this point. The fire escapes looks much better.

Brandon: Coming along! When you start asking for advice on things, give us nice HQ renders, the LQ really isn't useful especially when you start textures.  I think my BSP tag is a lot more relevant then a reference to my raging-mad soviet alter ego, but that is just me.

In soviet Russia, CML wear you!

[Parisian 549]

@Sgt Pepper- hey nooo, I m not from Berlin, I live in Paris.

[Seraf 1,238]

Jumpthefence - I think I'd put some little omni in ground floor to some of these buildings. But still looks great now

Sgt Pepper - Well, 22 Cortlandt Street looks promising, judging from what can be seen for now. I'm waiting for more

Parisian - You're lucky!

This isn't the BAT Request Thread, you can request it there.

EDIT:

Look what Aaron found for me! One of my oldie BATs. I'm going to re-mod and re-lot it, for NYBT(since it's based on 85 West Street and is almost an exact recreation). So 85 West Street will return.

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

Sgt Pepper, how can i send you some of your other Bats, i have every nyc building for my cj, some of them are definitly yours. Tell me which ones you need.

[Jumpthefence 74]

Yes, but in Soviet Russia, trout is slapped by you!

All facts about Soviet Russia aside, what do you think of the townhouses? Can I export them as is?

Speaking of townhouses... I can't do any more of them! Too... many... townhouses!

But really, I feel like doing something other than townhouses. I've been at it since November (?) and I feel like a one-track mind. If anyone wants to suggest something, I'm open to ideas until the Two Bridges pack gets uploaded. The only restriction I have is that tall (or especially large) buildings make my computer, as well as myself sick-y. Vertigo is fun! I'm going to have a cutoff at 30 stories/120 meters or so. Ideas?

In the meantime, I'm working on this fictional compound for a City Journal of sorts. It's not in New York City, actually, or anywhere for that matter. But don't actually expect a City Journal at all. As it says in my profile, I'm not going to make a City Journal, now get out of my profile. Does that make any sense? Forget it, just comment on the model.

It's the McGraw-Pharmaceutical-Chemicals-and-the-such-Plant!

It still needs roof junk on everything except the run tower, as well as something inside the warehouse (I was thinking about wares in there). Otherwise, it's pretty close to finished. Unless there are ideas to improve upon it.

BTW, I'm pretty darn proud of those Fords parked on the grounds. The first time I tried to make a truck was the definition of "utter failure", but I did it!

And this whole thing was done over the last two days! Yay me! Take that, logical calendar!

Alright, I think that covers everything.

Everyone have a great Friday everyone! ...Although for some of you, it's already Friday!  Time zones ZOMG!!1!

[Sgt Pepper 864]

What kind of time zone do you live in if it's Friday??????? It's Thursday in Sweeeeeeeet Home Louizianna!

Nice BAT BTW...I'll definately download some more industry like that! I think the Russian Bear will let you release those models of those town houses or whatever as is now, I like them and they look perfect. If you need an idea for another BAT, try going to Google Earth for New York and find something. If you want something specific, you could do 10 Hanover Square. It's about 20 stories tall and its next to 77 Water Street. 

EDIT: GuerrilaWarfare- Well most of all my NYBT are re-released now(85 West soon) except the model the AB&C Long Lines I did that was based on 33 Thomas Street but I don't really think that one is worth re-release.

[Darknono35 3,137]

Just for information the model of the woolworth is finish, he he he, now I working the textures and the building nightlight ! Enjoy !!!!

[sten1700 102]

[io_bg 249]

[halo1dragon 10]
