Wow great ones again! Can't wait to see them on the stex! Where do you get the time to do all that? 

Anyway, good luck with the bats my friend!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Oh yeah ! One more . It's looks good so far. I can't wait to see your progress on all buildings, and your brick work.

But please, don't model all NYC in the same time

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Andrey km- Thank you, the building will end up being uploaded seprated.

AlexandrosB13- Thank you, I can't wait too.

edwardjeria- Thank you!!!

Amsterdam1979- Thank you!!!

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

32-48 30th Street

Here's another update, I have added a little more details, I still did not model the swag moulding yet. The variations are coming up soon.

[edwardjeria 503]

I like your progress my friend

especially the fire escape

one sujerencia

improve decorated bricks and bins and containers in the back of the building, typical of ny

[Vlasky 1,803]

It's so cute Aaron! Great job!

Maybe just the fire escape stairs are too vivid.

[edwardjeria 503]

Vlasky is right I would add a little more dirty

but do not get me wrong I love the stairs detallle

[Darknono35 3,138]

It's an beautiful building Aaron, your fire escapes are amazing and this BAT will be one of your best ( like all other BAT of course )

[edwardjeria 503]

correct

sanven fire now that would be good to talk to someone puedies build a fire station in ny

just an idea

parese them right?

[Jasoncw 11,949]

I really like the colors.  Fire escapes get painted all kinds of colors in real life.  I agree with vlasky though, I think especially the red one is too saturated.  It could probably be less saturated and a little brighter.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Vlasky, edwardjeria & Jasoncw- Thank you, the fire escapes was not textured, but now there are. Silly me for not telling you guys, but that let me know you have good eyes.

 

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

 

 

32-48 30th Street

 

The only thing that is not textured is the roof, doors, and some small objects on the building. I have made some changes do to the mistake I have made when I was looking on Bing Maps.

 

The building is going to be a 1x2, I also wanted to make it a 1x3, but it looks like I can't. I have plans to make four to eight models of this building.

 

[Vlasky 1,803]

I like the "rework" I think it's even cuter like this  

[edwardjeria 503]

I love his new breakthrough

and you want to make 6 models of this building shows dedication and

enthusiasm

follow haci my friend

[Darknono35 3,138]

Wow!! Six variations of this building, I can't wait to see your next pictures and your texturing of the roof  

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Vlasky- Thank you!!!

 

edwardjeria- Thank you!!!!

 

Darknono35- Thank you, I have I can the number of variations I want finished.

Another update on my building I have the roof textures and the ac units in the building, but I still fail to make the swag moulding. I will have to work on the night lights and the variations next.

 

I'm having the same problem with my fan on my laptop. When the laptop goes into sleep mode and I take it off the sleep mode the fan does not work, the only way right now I know I can get it to work is to use the vacuum cleaner pipe. I have open my laptop to clean the fan and still no hope. I will have to go back and open it up again, one of my usb ports is not working, I think I forgot to attach the wire back. Let's hope I can fix that part.

 

 

Edit:

 

This is an update on the model, it's in realistic mode, as you can see you can see the Omni in place.

 

[AlexandrosB13 184]

_{Looking great! I don't even think there is anything to improve really Looks perfect. Although the side walls' brick could be dirtier and in general not like the front wall brick, just like you see the building in google maps. But idk it might be better this way. Can't wait to see more and from your other projects}

[SimCoug 5,976]

Great!  You don't see too many SC4 buildings with below street level alleyways, so this will be a nice added detail.  I'm looking forward to a in-game pic! 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Now it's 5000/5 stars

Good job buddy, let me test your buiildng in my game pleeease

[edwardjeria 503]

my friend

not as detailed as telling your building

Skylight detail is amazing

adodro awning details are good and I love that crimson

I'd bring one sujerencia acerle if you do not mind

- To the fire escape lacks dirtiest

- Back of the building a container to make it look more real because it is not as clean ny to say

Friend you just happened to the big leagues

follow haci

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Great as usal! Maybe a slightly lower saturation of that red fire escape texture, but I'd already take the building in its current form!

Oh, and btw, @edwardjeria:

 

I could understand your post, but it seems that you are using an automated translation, am I right? If so, be careful what you enter, because these automated translators are not very error-tolerant... I'll try in Spanish:

 

Ojo con la traducción automática! Estos sistemas ya tienen sus problemas bajo condiciones óptimas, pero errores en la lengua original les causan graves dificultades ya que no saben interpretar los probables intenciones y así corregir el error. Por ejemplo, el programa no ha logrado traducir "sujerencia" porque se escribe "sugerencia". Supongo que la frase original fue algo con "hacerle una sugerencia", pero puesto que faltaba la "h" en "hacerle" y había esta pequeña falta en "sugerencia", la computadora no sabía qué hacer. Lo mismo ocurre con la última línea - "Sigue así" quizas hubiera resultado en una buena traducción, pero con "Sigue haci", el programa no tenía ni idea. Otro ejemplo es ese diminuto error "adodro" en vez de "adoro"... Es que no tienen inteligencia alguna estos programas, por lo que hay que tener muchísimo cuidado al escribir. Claro que entre tus amigos en Chile, todo el mundo te entiende sin problemas, y detalles como los que acabo mencionar no importan, pero con la traducción automática tienes que escribir de forma super exacta para que no se lo pierda todo en la traducción (algo siempre se pierde). Tenerlo 90% correcto muchas veces no es suficiente para un ordenador, que sólo conoce el 100% o nada en absoluto.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

AlexandrosB13- Thank you, Id did not want the bricks to be to dirty, I want the building to look great for both R$ and R$$ Sims.

 

SimCoug- Thank you!!!

 

Darknono35- Thank you, you will get a chance to test the building out.

 

edwardjeria- Thank you, I will work on the red fire escape.

 

T Wrecks- Thank you, I will work on the red fire escape.

 

 

32-48 30th Street

 

Here's a test of what the variations may look like.

 

 

Please do not mind the fire escapes and the roof textures, I have planned to make variations on them too.

 

[SimCoug 5,976]

8 variations!  I love it.

[Amsterdam1979 56]

Alright!! Looking very good! Cant wait to see them in action in the game!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Nice and subtle, yet very varied - I like the colour palette!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Yep, it's simply perfect     . Colors and design all in one, oh... oups... sorry... in 8

 

Congratulations for this building Aaron

[Susaji 523]

Awesome Variations!

[edwardjeria 503]

t wrecks: sorry if you do not understand me when I write in English, it is not easy but thanks for the advice

 

aaron: wow

I love the variety of buildings

[Vlasky 1,803]

They are so adorable that I had the happiest face on when I saw them. 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

SimCoug- Yep eight buildings, such a great idea, and thank you.

 

 

Amsterdam1979- Thank you, glad you love them.

 

T Wrecks- Thank you!!!

 

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

 

Hazani Pratama- Thank you!!!

 

edwardjeria- Thank you!!!

 

Vlasky- Thank you!!!

Here's the first Half of the variations of the building. I hope you like them, of course there different from the variation test.

 

The change I have made is the height of the roof pipes, I have added pipes on the walls so the water does not pool on the roof, but any way it's not possible it does not rain in Sim City 4, but if it does the water could escape where the fire escape open is on back of the building. Another change is the bricks on the different version of the building.

 

[Jasoncw 11,949]

They look great.  I especially like the weirder color combinations.  They remind me of the 70s.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Haha, they only get cuter and cuter. My only concern is about that white roof. Maybe, just maybe, it would have sticked out too much.
