EmergentFungus Creations

[EmergentFungus 29]

I've decided to keep all my creations in one topic, for tidiness.

 

So far I have made 2 buildings from the Canary Wharf district in London and my mushroom house. I got bored with the modern school I was making but will complete that soon, all I need to do is put the night lighting on and add some roof junk. In the meantime I have been modelling a house that was shown on Channel 4's house design programme, Grand Designs.

 

This house is based on the one in Argyll.

 

 

Once I have completed this house and the school, I will carry on making the office blocks in Canary Wharf.

Well, I've done a lot on the house and here is what it currently looks like;

 

 

The sad thing is, that when it renders the glass is very unclear and not very easy to see into. I was hoping to have some furniture inside. https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/9.gif>

Well, if you improve as fast as dusktrooper did you'll be on the BAT squad in no time.

Grand designs! I love that program! Looking forward to seeing those buildings complete

[EmergentFungus 29]

Here's an update of what I have done so far. Its a rendered view of the front and those transparent windows look great! I'll have to try making some furniture like tables and sofas to go inside.

 

 

There's still a little more texturing to do and some more detail needed on the roof.

 

Tell me what you think. https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/10.gif>

[Ma8thew 77]

I think you need to add more wood to te model. Looks great so far!

[EmergentFungus 29]

Here's today's update.

 

 

Can you see the furniture inside?

 

Next task is to finish the texturing and then do some night lighting.

[billou79 5]

Well, actually the furniture aren't that visible. Maybe you shoud add some lamps or plants inside the house; and why not some curtains on the windows ?
And to finish with, would u mind adding a chimney pot ?

Apart from that, excellent modelling
We really miss modern houses in SC4

keep up the godd work

Very nice, I was going to move into one of those types of home in the countryside (commute problems dicated otherwise), I like this design - very contemporary.
Are you going to be creating any more in this style? If you do, then you may be able to make a small community out of them, perhaps.

It's quite nice. However, there are maybe too many windows on the roof. 2 on each side would be enough.

Good job so far!

[DuskTrooper 316]

if your gonna place windows on the roof, try lowering them.

[EmergentFungus 29]

Day view is finsihed and I am happy with how it looks.

 

 

Night view will be the next challenge. The windows are so big that it might be heard to get the textures to work properly. I'll also need to get a set of lights on it to illuminate from the inside.

 

I will be making more contemporary houses like this but only after I have modelled One Canada Square which will be next week. I'll make a building log for that somewhere.

[EmergentFungus 29]

Been playing with night lights and have decided not to use any night textures on the windows. On windows of this size they are very ugly so I have used a set of directional lights inside the building. I don't think square lights are possible (but if they are, I'd love to know howhttps://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/2.gif>) so I have had to use round ones. It looks great though.

 

 

Any suggestions, before I render?

[Smurfer2 7]

Maybe a T.V., but that's it. I'll have another great growable....https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/10.gif>

How about a metal roof texture?  Try getting the SC3000 roof textures, or make some in paint

Its actually meant to be like that, its a zinc roof. It does look a bit bland but its meant to be a modern design. On the ground the roof is the one thing you never see so it doesn't get much of a fuss.

[DuskTrooper 316]

BUT seriously, it would take like 10 seconds to apply, and would looks soo much better.  If you could wait until I get home, I could get you a nice texture.

Sure, how long will that be?

[frogface 354]

i like ur new house! the night lighting is really nice too and how it seems to shine 'outwards'

i'll be looking out for your version of one canada place too!

[+Guest]

That's a nice building you made, especially the night view.

[DuskTrooper 316]

Here you go!

Very nice, the night lighting really adds to that IKEA feeling https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/2.gif>, but you might want to move some of those windows around so it's not so symmetrical, just my humble opinion thoughhttps://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/5.gif>.

 

Good Job

 

[billou79 5]

From the night view through the roof windows, it seems that your house has only one big room. Is it correct ?
Must not be really convenient when you need to go to the bathroom

Apart from that, excellent work on the night view . It really adds a lot to this house. Can't wait to see a whole neighborhood of growable houses of yours

Good job on the night effects, they look superb!

One Canada Square, London

I started construction on One Canada Square today. Its the tallest building in the UK, standing at 235m. It was built from 1989 to 1991 and was the start of construction on the Canary Wharf District in London.

I will make this building in 3 parts, starting with the base then the main body and then the roof.

Here is what I have done so far:

Ane here's what it really looks like:

I've heard that this building was in SC3K. Has anyone got any pics of it in game?

[DuskTrooper 316]

Nice work there so far!

[Smurfer2 7]

Another awesome building being by EF. I'll look forward to its completion.https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/1.gif>

Thanks for that!

Here's the last update for today. I started on the main block and made the steel zig-zag cladding.

And here is a pic to show the scale of the building.

The scale seems OK to me. What does everyone think?

I can't wait for One Canada Square!!!!
