Starting to take shape nicely, the red still needs to be desaturated and you will need to add some weathering to the brick work etc but its starting to look good.

Will you be rendering in SD? I know people rave about HD but it really does mess the zoom 5 up and make it blury which completely ruins it for me..

Hey Clayton,

On your latest Bat I like how you are providing a lot of the

finer details that make a good Bat .

Francis90b: Thanks, I tried to incooperate all of that in this update, thanks for your support and suggestions

Gutterclub: I will render in SD, and thanks for your support and suggestions

Brian: Thanks, I appreicate your support and suggestions

Here is an update as promised

[Francis90b 748]

Looking really nice!

However, there might be two or three (they originally were two or three, i swear !) things to point out:

1)Flashing should be darker.It is usually done in copper, or another metal, and in general it's not painted in light colour (when it's painted).It's also quite prone to get some wear and dirt.

2)Maybe the drainpipes on the front should be painted dark, and be quite worn as well.

3)The AC units outside the window are a nice touch...however i'd remove one or two of them.I'd also make them a bit smaller.

4)Curtains: what about adding a couple of curtains behind the windows (actually ON the windows, in this case)? They would fit quite nicely on the first two floors, because someone passing on the street would easily see through the windows, and so people might use curtains to protect their privacy...and some might look good on the upper floors, too.

5)Doors:they look nice, but i'd model some parts of them (the main things, not down to the doorknob, lol).Everything else is looking fine.

6)SD vs HD.It looks like you prefer HD, and i respec t that.But would you mind to post a SD render?

7)Your rowhouses are on a good progress level.Would you consider making a corner version, and maybe add some colour variations?

There are a lot of rowhouses available, but most of them are lacking in one or both of those things...

EDIT:There's a Cindi Lauper video.Maybe the part from 0:06 to 0:21 might be interesting for you.In fact it looks like it was filmed in a rowhouse neighborhood, and it might offer you some suggestions about additional colours and window stuff.I admit it's a very very short section of the video, but anyway...

Wow, thank Francis I will surely use all of this to imorove it!

And the video almost looks like mine, and now I have seen what to add

Your modeling has improved alot since the last time I checked your BATs.

My suggestions:

1.) The textures need to be less saturated

2.) You should add more grit and dirt to the building as a whole

3.) All of Francis's suggestions

4.) Some roof props/decoration eg. rooftop terrace, stairs, etc.

[DCMetro34 577]

I think it looks awesome so far! I agree with the posters above, but I'd have to add that I at least feel that the bricks on the sidewalk are a tad large. Unless of course, you had a specific apartment model with those sized-bricks in mind.

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Francis90b: Thanks, I do plan color variations, and corner version ect. I am being hammered with RL stuff atm, but sometime this week I plan to get back started, sorry for the delays too.

Zahrul3: Thanks Very Much, your suggestions are well needed

DCMetro34: Thanks, I will add those improvements

[Titanicbuff 1,262]

This is a B.A.T. lot that I made just wanted opinions.

It coulkd do without the yellow thing on hte lot- My eyes focused on that- I like the building though

I think you're a little late to the party on that one lol. Plus I think he already released it so your input is not really needed on it and try to type slower to avoid spelling errors

Also good job frex keep it up!

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Ok, so if you haven't heard, my computer crashed, and I lost alot of stuff, but my 3ds max files were not one, BUT I have to start all over on texturing them, so I will be gone awhile texturing these, so I may start something new while waiting. I am sorry to all of those who were wanting the row houses soon, they are one of the many victims to loss of textures

Thank you to all the readers,

The Disappointed,

Frex_Ceafus.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

I'm sorry to hear about that . But, I can't wait to see what you produce next.

[Francis90b 748]

Sorry to hear that.

At least your models weren't lost...and maybe the new textures you will need to do might turn to be better than the old ones you had...

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Argh, that sucks. In situations like these, I often had to overcome some inner resistance to get going again, but on the other hand once I made it back, I was actually more satisfied with my second attempt. Guess that's because you already know what didn't turn out so great the first time and where to pay particular attention.

I hope you'll recover well from that blow.

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Sorry for the absence, you guys know that gas station I was working on? Well, the textures got lost in it to during the crash, but here is what it looks like now, I will revive it I promise, along with the row houses, which I will start up again soon, RL has pounded me lately, thanks for supporting me, and downloading my stuff, it means alot to me

[Utvaw 45]

Very interesting model. Can't wait to see it with textures and details.

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Thanks, as I started to revive some projects after the crash I came across the billboards, and I thought, what the heck, why not update with them

Thanks for reading

Good to see the gas station still lives. Since most of the issues it had were texture, this isn't perhaps the worst situation for you. But you still have way too many light poles in those corners; I think it would be good idea to cut them down to at least three apiece for each corner, possibly to just one in each corner.

[Halen Of Dania 350]

Losing a computer is like losing a part of your family it sucks. Btw what gas station was that prior to your crash

A quick response would be appreaciated old friend

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

HDH: Thanks very much! I will reduce the poles, I plan to remodel them any way

HBM: Thanks good friend. It was this station:

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Looks great. I think the arrows are a little bit too thick. How do you add the skid marks to the texture.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Good job with your trixies!And good luck with future Bats!

[IssacOzzman 179]

I like that Gas Station, We need more Stations in the game.

Issac .

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

Skyscraper241: Thanks so much, I used gimp and edited the ground texture, then placed it back on.

Nathanthemayor: Thanks so much

IssacOzzman: Thanks! I will have an update on that this week

While I have time off this week I plan to sit down and play around with 3ds max, to learn. I though I would try my hand at a skyscraper.

I have only worked on glass so far. I plan to add a ground floor base in the future.

[IDS2 3,396]

That looks like some really nice glass could we see a Z5 preview? I'm curious about how the bump looks.

[Francis90b 748]

Yeah, i like the glass too .

What is the building size?

Why there's an hole in the middle of the building?

[Ceafus 88 1,844]

IDS: Thanks! Here is the z5 preview.

Francis: Thanks!

The tower part, not counting the up coming lobby, is

Length: 32m

Width: 32m

Height: 150m

[BIWDC 2,296]

Nice Stuff Frex.

[Halen Of Dania 350]

HDH: Thanks very much! I will reduce the poles, I plan to remodel them any way

HBM: Thanks good friend. It was this station:

Ah a good old marathon station, really the only chains we have in new england are mobil, gulf and sunoco so it's a welcome chain

[T Wrecks 10,210]

The glass settings look good to me, but the cloud pattern doesn't really work. Did you apply a texture to the windows, or do you have the windows reflect a ground plane that's not rendered with the building?
