Kellydale2003's BAT Mine

[Roger51 381]

I am in full agreement with Cockatoo's last point

On another note, I find the two story apartments to be to reflective, just doesn't look natural to me.

I think we would all like it if you would work on your BATs one at a time. Then release one at a time. Therefore you get your BATs quicker D: Been waiting for a upload from you for almost 2 years xD

[Jazzmaster 716]

Kellydale, I believe all the rumour and skepticism that you're a fraud has long passed, but could you PLEASE upload something? I would understand if someone modeled buildings in 3DS for a class or for a hobby, not related to SimCity 4 but if that was the case, why show them on this site? Surely even you must want to see them in game if you're on Simtropolis, no?

ps; will update thread in near future on incoming uploads!

[gutterclub 2,729]

Really like it and something that it is well needed in the game. Nice to see an upload from you.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I've uploaded something to STEX!

I've seen (and commented) it! Wish this happened more often...

[Vlasky 1,803]

Yeah! Great job! Now more uploads! And please, DarkNite version!

[Jazzmaster 716]

Well, if it's true that you need help rendering, I'd be glad to help. I just need time, and to find a working license for 3DS Max. The student website is saying that they don't have licenses at the moment, sort of annoying lol!

But, I have a good computer for the job. 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1GB Radeon 6870 GPU, Intel i7 Processor, and a solid state drive.

[Evillions 552]

You finally released something!

Well, at least you have a reason for your hiatus. Still, great work.

[RipRap 4,400]

Congratulations for releasing something

Still waiting for that Winnipeg building...

[ThomasSimpson 466]

I love it - will download immediately. I'm looking forward to seeing more STEX files as well.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Great work on your latest upload!

[kellydale2003 2,276]

Yeah! Great job! Now more uploads! And please, DarkNite version!

I'll special request that from Amthaak

Nice to see you're finally able to release these beauties, how many more do you have that just need to be rendered+exported for game purposes?

Pretty much the whole thread ... but I landed a job today, so that will def slow things down a bit!

[Chris M 406]

Hey, congratulations on the job, though!

[Evillions 552]

YES!!!! I can't wait to use your buildings in my CJ.

I'm drooling over the night-lights and render.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Congrats, you're on the roll!

well, something has to keep you from uploading more.

Congratulations on the job.

[RipRap 4,400]

Congratulations from releasing the building (looks at the building*)

[Bastet69008 1,102]

Congratulations! We have been expecting these for a long time! Great Job! And congrats to Winnipeg on their new team and their last game!

[kellydale2003 2,276]

Thanks everyone! (:

I've been speedy on BATs lately, I rendered one today... but I'm not saying which one. I've encountered a lot problem, so when I figure it out. I will preview the renders (:

But for me, here's some rejuvenation!

NEW RENDER...

This one is not really coming along that well...

So it's back to the drawing board on this one! (:

I'm thinking of re-creating the BAT I just showed something to Winnipeg's Buhler Centre located in Manitoba, Canada.

ps; if ya guys got any photos of my BATs in your cities... POST EM UP! It's a bit of encouragement, I really love it when I see my work being enjoyed! (:

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks good.

[RipRap 4,400]

Oh my god, that's cool! (Looks into the Buhler Center from the window*)

[FREEMONEY 25]

I have the BAT thing but it is very hard to use and understand. I have looked up tutorials but that has not helped either. I want to make lots of things but i do not know how. I need help with this.

[kellydale2003 2,276]

Thanks guys! (:

@FREEMONEY - Just play around with it, it will eventually work out! (:

I can't decide about this BAT... somethings not right...

I adjusted the textures, changed things, and even gave it a new roof structure... help?

Here's a little update on this 4x4 unnamed lot that I can't figure out.. not progress. but the skeleton plus a little glass is a work in progress! (:

So far I've been enjoying the new design (:

Started working on the new facade of the mall, and added some glass. Now I'll be adding a bit of inside material for the night renders!

Anybody remember Rouge Place!?

That's about it for now (:

ps; I paid good money for a solid working computer! 12GB ram, Quad Core, 2TB HD, the latest nvidia... Should be done after the new year. It's a custom computer! (:

The Box Skyscraper..the roof was fine and looked better, it's a pretty generic tower (needed!)so the roof works. I think it might just be a little too reflective, the glass looks a little plasticy..I think just toning it down slightly or perhaps trying a new ground pane texture might help..if you compare it to the Seagram it looks a bit more like a shiny plastic model..I think the look you are trying to go for is Simfox's Bashnajba (spl?) Tower from Moscow and you are close..just make it a little less busy but don't give up on it as I've been wating for these glass scrapers you've had in the pipeline for long.

Keep it up.

Maybe you can put more detail on the roof... and windows, I think it needs to be changed. So far, so good!

Just placing my 2 cents

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I agree with gutterclub. The ground plane appears to be too defined, hence the weird and rather strictly angled reflections in the windows. Speaking of windows, did you apply a bump map to them?

I also agree that the old roof looked great. The only problem is that the material you used for the walls around the roof is almost as reflective as the windows, just like oiled & polished marble floor tiles.

All in all, I think that (A) switching back to the old roof, (B) using a more distorted ground plane, © playing with window bump maps, and (D) decreasing the reflectivity of all thing non-window might be worth a shot.

Those other buildings look great as well, I like the intricate detail work on Rouge Place.
