ah really? Yes now i remember it was you that had these uploads. I was also thinking of simfox maybe.

Anyway, you had some great bats man, too bad you removed them. Any chance you will put them back?

 

By the way, you're from Greece? love your country; it's where i met my wife!

Talk to you later!

Wonderful work!!!!

I saw your new Woolworth Building and died.

[gutterclub 2,729]

I think the linmestone on the Woolworth needs to be a little lighter and a touch warmer, also the green crown should be a little darker and have some weathering...other than that I love it, one of my favourite buildings...

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks all, I've a lot of work with this renovation of Art-Deco. I do my possible to realise them before july or august
 

Don't worry guys, copper roof of the Woolworth was be the texture of the first version. The new copper, will be best

About the limestone, it's right, it's needed some work too. It's the same for the windows

 

And here an update of the American International. The dirt on the facade was fixed since the last time, and the Spire on the top.

 

[Andrey km 304]

[gutterclub 2,729]

Too dirty IMO, way too dirty...I know everyone is singing the praises and it's beautiful..but lets try and be a bit more constructive guys?! I thought it was nicer before, its doesn't seem as crisp and seems more like a GMAX model now..still amazing though, but you can do better

[edwardjeria 503]

I love the details especially the small tower at the entrance of international america

Hey gclub, i understand your comment, but the AI building is definitely like this. When in the sun, it has a different look on itself, but this building is quite dark. I've visited this building myself a lot of times, and the dark or dirt makes the building unique, mystique and somewhat eerie. They actually cleaned the building the last couple years since it is now residential, but it still has the dark on its facade. It is very good of you that you have critisism, cause otherwise we would be saying every bat is gorgeous, so that is a good aspect but AI building is a unique one.

There is a certain look that needs to be accomplished with this building. From Wikipedia:

"One of the most famous themes of the limestone-clad tower is a mountain with a snow cap."

 

From New York Landmarks Preservation Commission's report:

 

"..clad with white brick, light gray Indiana limestone, and speckled rose-and-black granite..." (page 1)

 

also:

 

"...mostly light-colored materials were chosen, namely south Indiana 

limestone for the lowest elevations and four different shades of white-gray face brick, which 

darken slightly near the top – to increase the contrast of the tower against a bright sky. A striking 

exception is the polished red-and-black Brazilian granite veneer that extends around the base and 

continues the vertical expression of the limestone piers." (page 5)

 

and also:

 

"Description

 The Cities Service Building rises on a sloping, trapezoidal parcel bounded by Pine Street, 

Cedar Street, and Pearl Street. The building consists of an asymmetrical base, a slender tower 

that rises in a symmetrical manner from the 31st floor, and a faceted spire. The west facade is 

visible above the seventh floor. Viewed from the east and west, setbacks are symmetrical. The 10

facade is mostly faced with light-colored brick and grayish limestone except for the lower part of 

the ground floor which is clad with polished red and black granite panels. The brick lightens in 

color as the elevations rise. Between the third and fourth floors, the spandrels incorporate large 

rosettes, made of carved limestone or terra cotta. Above the fourth story windows, the spandrels 

are brick, with two raised vertical bands laid over four horizontal bands. The multiple irregular 

setbacks vary in height and depth and are enclosed with decorative aluminum railings. The 

double hung windows are not historic but resemble the originals. Some terraces can be accessed 

through doors." (page 9 to 10)

 

I'd advise you to read the document. It features good images and siteplans.

Well said and good article!

[Vlasky 1,803]

Thank you Amsterdam1979.

 

I better post this image that might be useful to you Darknono before I forget about it.

 

[edwardjeria 503]

good  imagine

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Hahaha, this is really funny.

 

Darknono, welcome to the professional level where people will no longer sit down with you, take your hand and help you turn an untextured cube into a textured cube, but throw bunches of photos and long expert papers in your face over a BAT that's pretty darn awesome already.

 

I'm not even only joking: The fact that you receive such detailed and high-quality feedback really shows that you are meanwhile being taken absolutely seriously, and that commenters trust in your ability to recreate just about anything if you just get enough helpful input for reference. You know you have matured as a BATter when you have reached this level, and although it might not feel easy at first, it's something to be proud of.

[Amsterdam1979 56]

I can only agree TWrecks! For me i just want to help where I can, because we all benefit from good Bats and its nice to be helping another! There is a good chance I will be going to New York again this year, plus i bought a new Nikon camera, so you know what that means!

Love the NYBT, you guys are awesome!

[edwardjeria 503]

also agree with amsterdam

I love nybt, I donot create buildings but I love helping with photos, maps for those who believe as darckono, sgt pepers, Vlasky paris and you are my friends and I will help with what I can

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks a million friends for your comments your supports and your pictures . I'm glad to see your interest for those buildings.

 

I want to doing perfectly and beautiful like they apeared in my first visit  of NYC.
This buildins are real symbols for the Big Apple, and it's time to model them

 

I'm working on every days, to add details, facade colors, dirts, windows colors and reflections. It's even almost become a passion.

I promise to you, an great result, and many other famous NYC buildings.

 

Thanks guys, I take your comment seriously and with attention

[Thande 10]

I'm just curious, what happened to the preposition of the World Financial Center? 

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

These are absolutely beautiful! I'm definitely going to reinstall the game to use these beauties and all your other wonderful BATS!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks guys !

 

@Thande: World Finanacial Center is postponed after the Art Deco update

@ilikehotdogsalot: You're right, you should re-install the game right now, Why have you remove it ?

 

Here an other update for the BoNY, I've just re-work the facade, now I need to fix the great windows on the top of the building

 

[edwardjeria 503]
