Looks good, but the one area where there's seemingly no space between floors, where you have the massive windows, is actually a maintenance level. It's likely nothing but HVAC and elevator machinery and would not be lit at night. The same goes for the top two floors where the giant triple fan HVAC unit it. There's no way office space could be there when the HVAC unit already occupies the space.

There's also a couple corners of the building that have lights on one side but not the other. This would not be possible unless there's a diagonal wall coming off the corner, which would never happen.

I have no words

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks guys

 

@PBGV103: Thank you. I'll try to fix the problem with the light in the several corners of the building . About the lighting inside the  maintenance levels, I have delete them. My first idea it was, the technicians need light for work on the machineries

 

Here the update on the building:

 

I think, the glare level is too high, I'll fix this too

[cmdp123789 710]

I like it the way it is... I dont see why you say glare levels are high...

[Vlasky 1,803]

I think it looks amazing! Great job!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great.

u can't have a lighting by self illumination on glass if the glass is clear like this building. U should go with lighting by roof or by ground

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks guys for your comments

 

@Girafe: Yep I'm agree with you Girafe, I've tried to use omni light but my PC isn't enough powerful. Maybe I'll do it with omni when it will be boosted or for smallest buildings. I want to use this technique as some others BATers, it's so beautiful and more realistic 

[Girafe 1,729]

Tu n'as pas besoin d'omnis qui sont de plus trop long pour les rendus. L'idée est simplement qu'au lieu de mettre des self illumination sur les fenetres tu mettes uniquement sur le sol de chaque étage une texture colorée et que tu coupes tes plafonds en carré de quelques mettre carré. Tu assignes 4 ou 5 ID différentes aux carrés du plafond. Chaque ID va correspondre à un material self illumination avec différentes intensités (0 pour plafond non éclairant). Ca va alors éclairer le sol de chaque étage en donnant l'impression d'open space. C'est bien plus réalisté et joli que l'illumination sur fenêtre qui ne peut être utilisée que sur des batiments avec peu d'ouverture mais pas sur un building en verre

[PBGV103 729]

I can always render it for you.

Real lights will end up looking much better than self illuminated windows if done right.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Okay, thanks guys, I haven't never imagine do it like this, it's an good idea , I'll try it soon
 

[Ke|is 3,337]

Those night lights, Oh my,,,

[edwardjeria 503]

good

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hi everyone, and thanks guys

 

Well, I've tried to use the light inside the building, this is my first rendering than I like the result. Now I should add plasterboard to separated rooms and offices, it will be better when those details will be fixed. I think this technic is easier then the self illumination, because we doesn't need to adjust the light texture on the windows and floors.

 

Sorry for the rendering, it's an view 4, the next will be better, and this isn't the final result 

 

I hope you'll like it

[PBGV103 729]

Looking great! One small detail you might take a look at are your blinds. Usually in buildings they are up or down in small clusters, not just one pulled down with its neighbors still up. Grouping the blinds like this in groups of 4, 5, 6, etc. will make it look more realistic. As far as the interiors go, at z5 they will look empty if they are empty. My recommendation is to either make or download office furniture models and cubicles in addition to setting up normal walls throughout the building. After you have these models all you need to do is make a 3-4 layouts of tightly packed furniture and randomly select roughly 30% to delete. With the remaining furniture you have have randomized bitmaps and/or rotate all the furniture on individual floors to make sure no floor is a repeat of the last. Finally, even if there are 2-4 floors with nearly identical setups, this is okay as larger companies often rent out multiple floors and lay them out the same way.

I know that's probably a lot to take in, but basically, you just need more realistic blinds and a variety of interior floors and you'll be set.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Wow, what a change! I love it! It looks so cool from that zoom

[edwardjeria 503]

my friend

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hi guys and thanks for your comments, and thanks Paul for your advices as always

 

About the blinds, do you think I need to remodel all of them for the night version, as the problem is them sizes ? And maybe add transparency through the blinds?

And for the furnitures, it will be very good to see them, but I'm afraid by the capacities of my PC :/

 

Here, no progress on the 605 Third Ave, but the real render at Z5:

[PBGV103 729]

When I do blinds I just used the fassadeblinds script and convert them to editable polys. Then I fine tune the heights. http://www.cgtechniques.com/goodies/blinds/ You would need to delete the blinds from both the day and night scenes, recreate them in one scene and merge the blinds into the other. That way the blinds will be in the same positions during the day and night.

As far as the interior goes, I would be happy to do that for you and export the model. I just did an export for someone else on here today and while it took 11-12 hours for their computer to finish , it took mine only 65 minutes. I would just need the day and night scenes from you.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Moar international style foar da STEKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[edwardjeria 503]

omg

 

the refleccion in the windor is ameizing

no have talkin

 

great work my friend

[SimCoug 5,976]

That is a really beautiful night render!

[Vlasky 1,803]

I really like how it looks. Such a major change, tho very subtle at first glance. Great job!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Okay guys, thanks everyone for your kind words and your support. I've done a slowest progress on my BAT, I hope re-take the real BATing very soon

Here an small picture of the 605 Third Ave, the lights are now ready. I should work on the furnitures inside the building.

 

@PBGV103: Thanks for your help. I'll send you a link to the folder if my PC can't export this one. I've the project to improve my computer soon, normally during the holidays, and it will be better to work on the Comcast and more others huge buildings who are need high reflective and details more importants;)

I've remodeled all the blinds and add the transparency for the textures, I hope you prefer them like that

 

@Borg: Thanks man

 

@Edwardjeria: Thank you buddy as always

 

@SimCoug: Thank you 

 

@Vlasky: Thanks team mate , yep it's the first of my new generation of glass buildings

 

605 Third Ave:

 

Enjoyed !!

[edwardjeria 503]

 

ooh brother
I love the light effect
I do not see much light in texture, from olimpic tower

wordless

[PBGV103 729]

That looks great! The blinds are much better now.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

It Does look better I have repeat.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I'd like to echo what Aaron just repeated.

[Girafe 1,729]

C'est pas mal du tout.

 

Il faut améliorer ta texture de sol. Elle a de grandes étendues lumineuses qui se refletent sur le verre et c'est pas top car ça fait des taches. Il vaut mieux avoir de petites zones de couleurs (on le voit bien sur l'angle droit). N'hésite pas à augmenter le contraste de ta texture de sol.

 

Pour tes blinds, il faut 3 ou 4 ID avec un arch&design simple. Il faudra juste changer le niveau de transparence 10%-20%-30%-40% peut être jouer avec des cinquièmes de transparence.

 

Tu as pu tester la map sur le sol de chaque étage. La tienne n'est pas assez contrastée et manque un peu de couleur. Regarde ce qu'a fait Simfox, tu verras le lighting d'un autre oeil et comprendra mieux comment il a obtenu de belles choses.

 

Tu es sur le bon chemin après il faut bricoler un peu tout ça

[edwardjeria 503]

my friend, do not want to bother you, but when I upload the nybt plaza, I want very much to see that building ready
