Aaron Graham's BATs

[Francis90b 748]

I agree with cockatoo about the avatar.I like the new one much better.

I'm glad to see a new model, looking forward to see how it will turn out....BTW would you mind to post a SC4 render?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Ion_Cannon- Thank you so much.

Cockatoo- Thank you, and I'm glad I did change the Spongebob avatar too.

Francis90b- I will post a Sim City render, you know I have to.

Building #7

Here's an update on the building, Just a little more detail and the modeling will be finished, I am thinking it will be a great idea to add stores on the first floor on this apartment, one of the stores I want to be on the first floor is Verizon, someone in the Live Chat wanted me to added a Tim Hortons store, I'm sure someone will help come up with a name that's valuable, I do not mined if you come up with a name for these numbered buildings, as you guys know the buildings in this thread are not real buildings but buildings I have created, that means I a Sim City 4 Architect.

Can't wait to see this textured. Your are absolutely one of the best SC4 Architects I know.

Can't wait to see more originals keep up the good work!

[art128 4,622]

Looks sweet, as Hamish I can't wait to see the textures.

Full ack.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Wie I didn't know that the buildings you are batting don't exist.. That makes them much more better

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Hamish- Thank you!

Art128- Thank you!

T Wrecks- What ever that means thank you.

Skyscraper241- Thank you!

Building #7

Here's some work I have done, I'm still working on the details, but it is moving slowly I think because I'm not bat as fast as I was before and plus I'm taking more breaks.

[Roger51 381]

WOW, this looks incredible! Well done Aaron

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

Looks amazing so far! Can't wait to see the building with textures.

[Francis90b 748]

It looks really good so far!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

T Wrecks- What ever that means thank you.

It's a short version of "full acknowledgment" (= complete agreement to the statement above).

I like the water tower on the roof!

[MTT9 187]

I look foward for textures. This is going to be great!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Roger51- Thank you.

ELEMENT- Thank you.

Francis90b- Thank you.

T Wrecks- Thank you.

Emmotic- Thank you, it's almost there.

Building #7

This is what I have done it's almost finished, and I will scale the water, I have not did it yet. My work was moving a little slow trying to get the Graham, Franklin, and Hogan Apartments on the LEX, and I also have some family issue. On the plane rails I have to work on that, one side is visible and the other side is not.

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Wow, this is a super piece of work Aaron!

[Jasoncw 11,941]

So far so good!

[gutterclub 2,729]

Looking wonderful, really dig this.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

If the plane rails are literally planes then they will be invisible on the other side. You need to make them as very thin boxes instead. I don't know why that happens with planes, but making them thin boxes would work better.

It is a very spectacular building. I love the details and everything.

[Roger51 381]

Ooohhhh, love the PINK!

[Francis90b 748]

It's looking gorgeous!

May I ask if you can consider, aside from a pink version, to do a couple of version in other colours, maybe orange or cream or even white or dark red?

That would help in filling up SC4's corners, add variety and make sure that your building can be used multiple times with (somewhat) less repetition !

Frex_Ceafus- Thank you!!!

Jasoncw- Thank you!!!

Gutterclub- Thank you

Sgt Pepper- Thank you, remodel the rails, I believe I can still use the planes but I'm not sure and never tried it before, I think i could use a two

sided texture to help that problem, but I like these rails a little better.

Roger51- Lol, thank you.

Francis90b- Thank you, I have thought about doing that but I will have to spend more time on texturing, but you can tweek the textures if I do

this, I do think Sim City needs more of my buildings faster.

Building #7

Okay another update and still this building does not have a name, I have added a little more details, I think I am finished with the modeling.

Oh yea, i'm going to redo the canopy it looks to wide for a door entrance and i have not forgot about the water I will make it a little wider.

That is one sweet looking pink building, Aaron! Just kidding, nice modeling so far.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Art128- lol, thank you!!!

Hogan Apartments

The Hogan Apartments are finally on the STEX after some over 7 months I believe.

Edit:

Building #7

Okay guys to make you happier I have made second model, all I did of course was edit the first model, I do not mind using different texture colors to make variations of the building, but I think it's a great idea to make model a little different, the mission is not to over do it, just make small changes not tiny ones, I should not do not change no more than 70 to 80 percent of the building, I can add like a floors, remove some floors, make the water tower building cover taller, shorter, or with out a cover on top and ect, but not to much, it should still look a little like the first model.

[Francis90b 748]

Very nice idea, Aaron!

I think that when you make those modifications you should really have a basic idea about how things are organized inside the building (nothing too precise, mind it, just a basic scheme about what will go inside the building, and where will it go...e.g that area will probably have apartments, there there (more or less) should be the elevators, etc).

This way you might be more likely to end up with a plausible result, and avoid having to remodel things another time because things don't look very realistic.

Good luck, your idea might be more difficult to realize than it seems, but if you succeed we might get even more variety

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you Francis90b and your right, I do not need to just modify just any think i need to think it over because I know I do not make a layout of the apartments that will be inside the building.

Building #7 (Johnson Apartments)

So here's a update,I have added more details on the building and I have came up with a name, the Johnson Apartments, I hope you guys like it.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I always like your buildings. I think you should add a bit more details to the ground floor.

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Very Very Nice Aaron

[art128 4,622]

The flora seems alright !

[Roger51 381]

Looking good Aaron! Nice name as well

[Kendiecasttsoi 209]

It is just a pleasure for me (and probably many others) to visit this thread, knowing that every piece of work you let your fans and STEX users to sample here will eventually be finished and uploaded.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Skyscraper241- Thank you!!!

Frex_Ceafus- Thank you!!!

Art128- Thank you, the flora has teh scene poly count up to over 2,000,000.

Roger51- Thank you!!!

Kendiecasttsoi- Thank you!!!

Johnson Apartments

Okay, I hope this brick color is okay, i'm still trying to figure what will be the best brick color right now. the scene poly count it up to 2,000,000 just becuase of the farn flora, but if it makes the building look better so be it. Please let me know about the bricks and waht I may need to do to fix the color, don't mind the glass and window frames.
