   or by god :O  
 I have no words to express how beautiful it is
 is beautiful at night  

[sten1700 102]

omg...stop teasing me! I want it in my city like now... :')

 

It looks awesome! I love the top nightlighting but maybe the ground floors nightlighting should be a little bit towned down.

sorry, what I meant was toned down*  

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

:O

 

How's the day scene/ I thought there was some things that need fixing.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I agree with you about the glare. Maybe one remark concerning the spotlights shining up the wall: It always looks best when you can see not only the light cone itself, but also its source.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Jeebus that's a pretty one.  

 

Great work!

Hey Darknono!!!

Just came back from holiday (worktravel) and didnt go to NYC this time, but Houston it was. Anyway, finally saw all your updates and i gotta say; all the work you put into the projects are stunning! Wow wow wow! Sorry you havent seen me here for a while that was because of my travel. Im excited and cant wait to see your next uploads on the stex! Great work!!!

Darknono just a question, since you did the Aon Center so perfectly, have you ever considered doing the old Twin Towers of the World Trade Center?

Somehow the Aon bat reminds me of the twins

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Mine were more of a "mock up" sort of, honestly. Not much of a true to life recreation. It was more of a creative freedom project out of personal whim. It'd be nice for an accurate recreation. Besides, I never finished my own version of the complex either since my old computer gave up on me. 

 

Besides, there's 3 versions of the Aon Center out there, I think 4 versions of the Sears Tower, 4 versions of One Chase Manhattan Plaza, etc. There's more BATs out there that have been done a few times by different people. Variety of choice. 

 

Of course, that's entirely up to you as that's a rather ambitious project. But I'd rather you finish what you've got so far.

 

Do you need to see a picture of the American International Building at night? Looking at your BAT again, it looks like you've got a close depiction of how it's lit up. However, the real life illumination seems much brighter and to me almost looks like the crown is just glowing itself and brighter than what you have. I don't know how well such a bright illumination would translate into the game though. :S

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Yeah, I'd be careful with such brightness. On photographs, it is often the result of a very long exposure and not what you see IRL.

O.M.G.! Another quality BAT from Darknono Industries!

[Darknono35 3,138]

OMG, guys, when I've seen all your post, many buildings was come to my mind . Thanks for your support as always, and, I do my best for this American International, I think, it's an terrific model, and so difficult

 

@Aaron: The day model is ready soon, but I'm working on the marble for the base of the building

@Amsterdam1979: You're so Lucky , I'm glad to see you come back too

@Sten1700 & Sgt Pepper: Oh, guys, the old WTC one of my favorite, and certainly the reason of my passion for the USA since the 9/11... I never dared to undertake this complex or upload this one. But maybe, now... I say: why not ?  . Modeled the WTC, will be an honor for me

But Sgt, your Twins Towers are so beautiful, I wouldn't offence you, and it's another reason why I 've never posted the Twin Towers.

@T Wrecks & Sgt Pepper: Thanks for your criticism, If you've a good picture for the AIG, it can help me for the nightlight

 

And here an other picture of the American International, I've change the light for the windows, I think it's better than the first picture .

 

[B.C builder 291]

The nightlights are just gorgeous !

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Wonderful work buddy.

 

I think the lighten on crown of the building is a little to bright.

[sten1700 102]

Yay! 

I look at your thread everyday for new updates! I'm so excited everytime! Cause you always choose to model the buildings that I like the most from Manhattan hihi!

It would be amazing if you would bat the Twin Towers but first finish the 40 Wall Street and Woolworth please! :)

 

The American International BAT is just brilliant. The top might be a little bright but if you look at night pictures of Lower Manhattan the top of the American International building always shines the most!

 

My compliments on how much youre skills have grown! 

 

I say:

 

EXPORT

[Sunv 156]

Much Better I must say

 

 

EXPORT

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

DAT NIGHTLIGHTNING...

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks guys
I've used this picture for the light around the crown of the American International. here the light is green and yellow but I've seen another picture with white an yellow light but  the link is broke

 

Here another building, the 40th Wall Street . Textures and model under progress

[B.C builder 291]

The top if the building (or crown) is perfectly done, the details are impressive

[Amsterdam1979 56]

There are different night lights of the building through the past 80 years, now its up to you Darknono, what is the best in-game and fits the best?? Anyone have a good suggestion??

 

 

[Amsterdam1979 56]

So..... What you think guys?

[Sgt Pepper 864]

The crown of 40th Wall Street is looking much, much better but there's still work to be done with it, as well as other details surrounding the crown and on the upper floors. But it is an improvement. I feel it's current color scheme you have going is too cold though...

[Sunv 156]

Man, Dark you are just too good at BATing.

 

40 Wall St. Is looking so amazing!!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

I feel it's current color scheme you have going is too cold though...

I agree. If we take a neutral grey (=equal values for Red / Green / Blue), then the overall hue should be shifted slightly towards a pinkish / peach-coloured shade to match the game's overall look. The wall textures you have on 40 Wall Street now look great in terms of detail, structure, and variation. However, they seem to have a strong greenish tint to them.

[Amsterdam1979 56]

For 40 wall st check this link, it might give you an idea for the crown color;

Enjoy!

[Vlasky 1,803]

Here's aerial view of the crown's lights. Also you have light sources here as well.. I don't think you should use light on the lower portion of the tower. There's no need for that.

 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks all

Here an picture of the 70 pine street, I' down the light level and add light color. What did you think?

 

[sten1700 102]

I think it looks better with lower lights on the building... but still it's perfect!! EXPORTT PLEAZ  

[cmdp123789 710]

Looks great to me.. To be honest, I see the lights in the picture above, and it resembles the building's lightning, then again, as stated before, everyday is different, so there is no point intryin to figuring out whats the best lightning, some might like it on way, others, maybe not, the important thing is that you used one picture and you got something that resembles it pretty much, so go ahead, and make it happen =)

[T Wrecks 10,210]

The crown is looking good, though TBH I'm still not sure if I can  see the spotlights where all the light is coming from. Still, it's a definite improvement!

What doesn't convince me so much is the light in the windows. IMO, it's far too intense. In the brightest parts, it looks like an atomic bomb just exploded on the inside. But seriously, toning it down a little (both in brightness and in glare) would improve the overall impression, as would a slight shift towards a warmer, more yellowish hue (see the photo posted by Vlasky).

[Darknono35 3,138]

Yeah, several things who need to be fixed before an export of the night view 
Today, I've done an export of the day render, and it's successful . And compared the two version, I don't need to ask you, what's your favorite ...

 

And look the flags, it's working perfectly as props wowo!!
