nybt-forum-threads Parisian Factory for NYBT

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Yes, I had the same problem thats why I had sgt pepper to take a day and night image of my Worthington Apartments and Sunset Apartments. I'm glad we are talking about this because I have night light problems, my building is glowing or something, I'm useing Sim Fox dark nite mod and the Graham Apartments is lit up like a christmas tree and I don't like that, the walls and the roof is lit up. The worthington Apartments is not like that. hum, maybe I should try to re download what in the link. Thats why I did not upload the Timpson Apartments, because of this issue.

 I have gotting this from sc4devotion.

Hey Mr Graham. The Update 2 was the one missing !!!!! Now it's ok, Thanks a thousand time I think it's a good solution to re-download the programm. Maybe you have a prolem which can be solve only through this way.

By my side, there is a strange thing happened. I ve "recovered" all my files except some texture programm or something because, for instance, if I want to put the Mutual of America Building, I only see the base texture, without prop and without building. In Madison square Garden for instance, the building is here, but the base texture is missing. Sometime it looks grey, sometimes black! That's very very strange!

[Parisian 556]

Next Building : 1166 Avenue Of The Americas. I m loading it, with a nightlighting this time. It's very long, maybe it will be finished tomorrow, I will post first renders as soon as possible (when the upload will be completed)

Let me introduce you my awfull result.

[halo1dragon 11]

not bad parisan its not awful its good

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

Parisian, your building is right next to the one i'm working on, . Lol, anyways, why are their flat vents on the roof, you should fix that, Just the roof in general could use a lot of work actually, also the building's body texture should be a tad darker then that, but anyways it's fantastic,

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

While I wouldn't call it awful, I have to disagree with halo1dragon and say that it is not good... yet. It is a decent start but there are some significant issues and, generally speaking, more work needs to be done.

Lighting rig is too small, the flat Google earth roof image NEEDS to go, some general texture/detail work needs to be done, and this might need a vertical scale. If you think it is awful, then you should keep working to make it better

[gutterclub 2,729]

My thoughts exactly, rather than spend 1 day on a bat then say it's awful, spend longer working on things. It's a decent model and will be good with some work

I think it's a good start. The facade could be a little darker and I think you should go with a more yellow night texture for the lit windows, with variation in intensity. Also, here's a good shot of the roof:

You can see that the HVAC unit is not a simple box, and it has vents on the sides along with other misc. stuff on top, other than the fans. It's tiny details like these that really make a great BAT.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Not awful definately. Good start, just needs a new rig for the lighting. I would tell you how to do that but I don't even know. lol I think I forgot that, it's been a while. Since school started back up I haven't BATed that much lately so I'm not sure how helpful I can be except to second most suggestions made all ready. Facade is very nice, just needs some touching up with the textures and work on that roof as the others suggested.

[Parisian 556]

Thanks to you all for your advices. I will re-work on it as soon as possible.

Between this time, I ve made a new modest building : The New Museum in Bowery.

in game pics now!

[Sgt Pepper 864]

I think the lighting and the roofs could use some work but it's looking pretty good so far. I think the lighting needs to be toned down and worked with where it doesn't turn the structure into a sun so to speak.

[Parisian 556]

It's hard to find pics of the roof. In google map, the building is under construction, so impossible to see how it is for real... I ve made the roof with a pics of the building underconstruction, I noticed that there is a watertank hide in the top cube. but it's not very precise

SgtPepper, could you tell me where I can "turn the light lower" cuz I ve try something but it doesn't work. I work with Gmax. Thanks for your help. Niteliting is defintely not my hobby

[GuerrilaWarfare 39]

@Parisian, Go on Bing maps and search for your building, there are Bird's eye view of your building's roof, here's one image to help you out.

[Parisian 556]

I will reshuffle it later.

I ve spend my evenings last week end  and this week to create the Consolidated Edison Steam Power Plant in Manhattan (near stuyvesant town).

Pictures :

[Parisian 556]

The "ConEd" is not complete. The main building (1) is the one above, but the building is voluminous (16X4), I m trying to create a second one (2) , Let me show you :

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Wow, what a huge improvement!  That power plant looks fabulous so far! 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Yes, like T Wrecks said, huge improvement.

[PBGV103 729]

I love the attention to detail! A zoom5 render would be nice as well.

[Parisian 556]

Well, I m in my industrial week it seems LOL... I ve made in a same time the Power Plant in the Queens (don't know the name, any New Yorker over here?), the one we can see from the Queensborough br.

This one needs lot of work again, it's just to have an idea of what it will looks...

Comments and suggestions are always welcome of course

[Parisian 556]

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks fantastic. You have made a lot projects for NYBT. I hope to see the ones thats finished uploaded.

[Parisian 556]

Hey Aaron, did you solve your problem with nitelite? Yeah don't worry I will upload them as soon as they are finished. That's my big default, I start a lot of things, but I don't finish them .. I ve just a serious problem with my GMAX to create light window and affraid to re-install it, because I could lost everything as I do last time my computer crashed. I ve some time on left today to progress on the Queens power plant. I m looking for someone very qualify in nightlight to help me to finish the ConEd Steam Plant.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I have solved my night light problem but now another problem, something different, thats why no updates on my newest NYBT creation.

[Parisian 556]

I m very disappointed. What's this??? It's the 2nd time I m trying t render the Queens Power Plant. Each time, at different moment, I ve had this small message box and the rendering process stops... Could u help me???

[Parisian 556]

Well, my Queens power plant is still on hold because of my lack of power... I m still looking for someone who could render it with a powerfull machine...

Anyway,

this my both last projects which I have almost finished (some details need more work)

Ingame pics of the ConEd Steam power Plant :

I need to do the 2nd part of the building. And the nightlight problem is still here, now my Gmax doesn't want to render the building at night...   Does anyone feel ok to create the nightlight?
