Okay guys, thank all for your advices. The trees and the brick wall at the top of the GM building are ready, and the export just terminated. NOw I'm working on the nightlight.

Thanks Aaron for your brick template I'll use this to creat the wall of my Sherry Netherlands

Merci Parisian ( compatriote ) pour la photo, elle me sera tres utile pour les details du toit.

WOW!

[weixc812 509]

The night-light is really a fantacy !

[PBGV103 729]

Looking great! The only thing I'd say is the windows are a little too yellow. I made the windows in 345 Park Ave about the same after seeing several pictures of it, but remember pictures can be pretty low quality. Get some recent high quality aerial shots and I bet the GM building will look much less yellow, as does 345, which I will be fixing soon. I would set the Kelvin rating to 6000-7000, 5500 at the lowest, depending on what your light maps look like. If they are very yellow to begin with you'll need to go higher or if they are a more blue hue, you may need to go as low as 5500. As for the intensity I'd keep it around 1-1.5, that way you don't get the haze effect. Good job though, it's looking great.

I think the night lights is to much you have to have to work on it. I think the top of the buildings night lights is to bright.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I agree with Paul, especially about the intensity of the lights. The lights themselves look great, but with this intensity, they make the building look like a Christmas tree. The light from the window casts light cones towards the outside as if the windows were the headlights of a car. If you tone the lights down, everything should be fine.

The lobby looks perfect to me, though.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Here an small update for this building, I've applied some corrections and I hope you prefer this one. First version was too bright, hey it's christmas !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AT ALL !!!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Looks great to me!

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Much better But there are two lights in the base of the building that still look a bit bright IMO.

[PBGV103 729]

Great improvement! Seriously, you're improved so much it's beyond any expectation. In the future please continue to listen to advice people give you and ask for any help you need. Great job!

[libellibicus 396]

Fantastic BAT. Can't wait til the texturing

[Sgt Pepper 864]

I...want...

[gutterclub 2,729]

Looking great so far, I'd really love to see you re-do some of your older BATS..mainly Woolworth Building and Trump Tower and Pine St with your new skills and new tools...such great buildings that deserve the extra effort.

Thanks again for your work, really wonderful BATs

[cmdp123789 710]

Hi, loving the new work... but, I tested the 599 lex... and it seems to be too tall?? maybe Im wrong, but compared to other buildings... it seems too tall

[Sgt Pepper 864]

^The game has no sense of scale anyway. So I don't think it really matters anymore unless something is unbelievably over-scaled or under-scaled.

I don't even know if I follow a scale with the team. I just make my floor heights around 4-5 meters or so, with the ground floor being taller than that. I compared some of your buildings, Darknono35, recent ones, to some of my recent works, and it makes me wonder if I don't scale these enough or yours are scaled pretty high.

I never do the 133% though, to me it makes most of my creations look weird or way too stretched. So I just start out, like I said, with a floor height that's like around 4-5. If the Sims look like they can fit in there, then it's fine to me.

[Parisian 556]

To Sgt pepper : I agree with you. As long as the scale looks correct I don't care to be in the exact size or not. As u said 4-5 meters per floors is realistic in the game.

I m so glad you are getting up with this amazing model. Darkono, the guy which model faster than his shadow ^^ here some more pics to help u for back and top details :

Good luck for the last line

PS:Have u ever think to recreate Chrysler Building?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great buddy.

[wwetom1 831]

I love using all of your BATs in my CJ. They fit in so well.

Keep up the good work!
