Great job with the variation, especially the roof.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great job, maybe the lighting is too yellow in my opinion...

Dover house is looking great I'd offer to test, but my PC is currently out of action

1225 Morris Avenue

Here's an update, I have finished making the fire escapes for the front of the building next will be the details for the parapet and the details for the ground floor leading to the entrance to the building.

[B.C builder 291]

Your attention for details is amazing !

[cmdp123789 710]

Its GREAT! I love it! I already see so many uses for that right now... =)

[libellibicus 396]

Great modelling skills on the fire escapes......very nice indeed

[Seraf 1,239]

Speaking about Dover House - It's really nice work, model and textures are great of course but that's the details like furniture and plants that is stealing my attention. Great work

Aaand 1225 Morris Avenue already looks good, wonder what will be on the roof this time

[libellibicus 396]

Will there be the usual texture/colour variations?

[Darknono35 3,138]

I like this building design

Awesome work, and full of detailed, it's beautiful, keep it up Aaron

[B.C builder 291]

I love it ! I just have one question: do you use 3ds max or 3ds max design ?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

B.C builder- Thnak you, I use 3ds Max Design 2013

 

cmdp123789- Thank you!!!

 

libellibicus- Thank you, yes there will be a usual texture variations, there's only so much you can do with bricks colors depend on the time the building was built.

 

Seraf- Thank you, the roof for 1225 Morris Avenue will be simple.

 

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

Almost finished with this building, I need to add some rails for the steps and do the night lights, after that it's off the the variations.

 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great to see this awesome building

[Vlasky 1,803]

It looks great! I really like it.

[SimCoug 5,976]

Looking phenomenal, as always.

 

Because you do such an awesome job creating a variety of variations with each model, it got me thinking.  The amount of diagonal W2W buildings is severely lacking in this game - especially NY style architecture.  Would you ever consider releasing diagonal versions of your models?  Ploppable versions are always possible, but I've been working on grow-able diagonal lots, and with a little finesse, they look pretty good.

 

The real trick would be the fact that an ortho W2W is roughly 16m across... a diagonal would be... (just a second while I remember my HS math...) ummm... 22.6m

Or a 2x2 that has a 32m facade would need to be 45.2m diagonally...

3x3... well, you get the math.

 

So I guess my point is, you would have to rework your models to include a longer facade, which could be a real PITA.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to give you something to think about - I think there would be a real demand for diagonal buildings, especially Aaron Graham quality models.  

(BTW, I'd be happy to work on the modding/lotting if needed)  

 

Ok, now I'm just thinking out loud... rather than rework the entire model, I suppose you could create a little 'filler' building to fill in the gap (22.6 - 16 = 6.6m... or 13.2 for a 2x2, ect)  and just attach it to your original model.  

 

Food for thought, I guess 

Thanks for entertaining my rambling.  

[edwardjeria 503]

I like

one small suggestion if you do not mind

a little dirty but not much

only at the edge of the roof and if you believe

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

 

Vlasky- Thank you!!!

 

SimCoug- Thank you, I have not planned to do a diagonal versions because to me it will take much more time to work on and can slow down the production I have here. I will have to think hard and long about I want to make diagonal building to grow sense I make residential buildings.

 

edwardjeria Thank you, I will try to make the walls a little dirty. I really think the walls on the back of the building should be dirty sense they may not be maintain at the bricks on the front of the building.

 

 

Gracie Manor

 

Here's an update on this apartment I have started months ago. Still some more to go and the modeling will be finished.

 

[edwardjeria 503]

         wooooooo        

I love his new project

I long to see the texture list and the part of the terrasa

[Darknono35 3,138]

Oh my god, another building  already  !!!!

[Seraf 1,239]

At the first sight I didn't know if I like those red fire escapes but now I think they look good with cold-beige wall
And I wish my brick texture on University Club looked even halfway as good as yours
I have a question though about Gracie Manor, what is that structure next to a water tower?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

edwardjeria- Thank you!!!

 

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

 

Seraf- Thank you, The structure next to the water tower is a chimney.

[B.C builder 291]

Wow your new project is amazing !
