BSC - VIP / Girafe's skills on the BAT

[Girafe 1,729]

Thanks for kind comments

I exported the model in game and got a non optimal result.

After few advises from Simfox, I have something decent to present you.

Still stays questions if I BAT all the base of the tower to fit perfectly a 16m tiling or I let place for lotting.

[benno2005 112]

looks great ingame

[Jasoncw 12,060]

I think the amount of base you've BATed is good. For the rest I guess just find a good ground texture in the lot editor. I don't know which though. I've tried looking for a good dark grey paver for one of my own BATs and haven't found a good one yet.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks perfect as always, I'm ready to see this in STEX soon as possible, but do not rush.

[Andrey km 304]

Ingame the building is amazing! I want to see this in STEX soon!

[skyscraper 216]

really good work, can't wait to see this on stex....

[art128 4,625]

Fantastic looking, as usual from you!

[Girafe 1,729]

Thanks for your nice comments,

@Jasoncw, yes I think too but I am not confident with a good lotting regarding this tower...

@Aaron & Skyscraper, no need to rush indeed, & it will take long time before getting something correct above all with the night scene...

The first try with the nightlights:

But I didn't work on it for 1 month now...

I just had time to reborn something from the cave, even it's useless for the game:

Sweet dreams

Great helicopter ... I like it so much !!!

Is this a Black Shark ?

[urielgarcia 344]

As always, your work is exceptional!!!!!! Excellent work.

[art128 4,625]

I love the night light! The heli is also nice looking. Would look great as a prop for military bases.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Great job!! on the chopper and the night lights of you wonderful building.

[gutterclub 2,743]

Girafe: may I ask what Ellyps is? Is that who you work for?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Great work, I love the hopper and the night lights are fantastic!!!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

The chopper is awesome!

And the the nite lites ... :wub:

[Girafe 1,729]

Thanks for the comments

Small news as my thesis takes me lot of time,

An old project which comes back at the agenda...

I finally decided to BAT the entire plaza of EDF tower. It will fit better to the game:

Stay the main problem of the color of the ground...

[Amthaak 1,501]

EDF bdg: Perfect! Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!!!!!!!!!

The little "chalet" is amazing I think it 'll fit very well with my small icecream shop! :thumb:

[gutterclub 2,743]

wow and WOW!! EDF is going to be one of the greatest BATs ever made

[T Wrecks 10,210]

C'est magnifique! This goes to show once more just how much a good base can add to a skyscraper.

[Francis90b 748]

^^Any base can add a lot to any skyscraper, if the said skyscraper is a masterpiece on it's own .

Amazing work, Girafe.

How would the parking entrance look in game? Can you transit-enable it (cosmetically)?

[T Wrecks 10,210]

That should be possible - if the tiles are the same size as default textures, the entrance should sit just right.

[Girafe 1,729]

Thanks a lot for the kind comments,

It has been designed to fit perfectly with the game, at first with the position and secondly in terms of textures. I don't transit enable my lots as the scrutineering process in devo is more complex.

Keep in mind, you can do it yourself easily with sc4 tool.

The same for the previous tower (GAN) which fits perfectly too with the road system.

[Cockatoo 2,262]

If you have the time and the motivation, I think you should do a tutorial simmilar to the one Jason did on how you made the glass for this building.

It's got to be some of the best we've ever seen.

Btw, is that night lighting actually done with real lights...

[Ion_Cannon 677]

She's a beauty, Tour Gan was nice, but this is the next level

[weixc812 509]

The night light of EDF is just great

I shall leave room for this beautiful building in my city

[Amthaak 1,501]

I second Cockatoo's request concerning the glass tut. and you can add also a small tut for the nitelites (allez gamin, y'a du taf...!)

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I agree with Cockatoo and Amthaak. Tuts are always great. A glas tut would be great although Jason already made such a tut. It would be great to be able to compare different ways of making glass. And a nite lite tutorial would be great, too.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Fantastic as always, I can't wait to see both of these finished.

[SimCoug 5,977]

I don't get to go through the BAT thread that often, but this has caught my attention. All your creations are brilliant, but this is quite stunning. Great job!

[Girafe 1,729]

Thanks a lot for your kind words.

I will put a small tuto on the glass as soon as I will finish my thesis.

I try to extend my flora skills to wheat fields:

Early spring:

Late spring (I have to work a little bit more on the colors... %wrd):

Summer:

Early Autumn:

Late Autumn:

Winter:

I am bored with EDF tower and it's lighting, seems that the lighting from SF is more complex than I though with shaders... I have not the skills for this for time:
