lL gmax models

[IL. 1,043]

well, nevermind, i found another way, since the water level in lower than the 0, so, i can't put textures on the lot, so i have to make everything on gmax

so that's what i did for now 4x4 (the lower stuff effcorse wan't be visible later)

which one is better, 1 or?

(nevermind, deffirently 1)

- click on the model to choose it...

- click on the top bar of gmax the Modifiers...

- choose UV Coordinates and then UVW Map...

- then a list on the right side will appear...

choose one of them which suits best:

planar

cylindrical

spherical

etc....can't remember all of the rest. This will conform the texture the right way on your modelform. I often use "box" which seems to fit most of my needs.

hope that helps

great! thanks it worked (it's not in this model btw)

[IL. 1,043]

i finished the bat, and here it is https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/26404-aghlabic-pools/

[IL. 1,043]

I'm making this new bat, but, i'm not sure that is good ennuf, i don't like it

what do you think?

(that part of the roof is not finished yet btw)

This is just one side of the building, the front side, and that's the doors area

and i'm not sure about it

do you think i should change the textures? and to what kind of textures if yes, like, wood; stone; what?

well, i prefer the white one, so, is their any ideas to like, add some more details on this, or some other, uuh, stuff

it looks kinda, emtpy doesnt it?

what about changing the columns textures, to something, like, brown marble, or some darker colours like brown marble, or the dirt-yellow or something, or a colour of stone?

(i mean the arches area, not the empty walls on the sides btw)

[IL. 1,043]

propably making the inner walls more, detailed, like maybe adding some more windows

[harishna 847]

It is is a bit difficult to make any comments IL I don't even know what is it that you are making...

[zahrul3 471]

@harishna: its a mosque

[IL. 1,043]

@harishna: its a mosque

yupe, and maybe with a small library in it

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Looks good although it needs alittle work on the walls, the texutinr=g looks good, I see gradient on the walls which is always a plus, anyway good work so far.

[IL. 1,043]

i improved the walls and textures

about those two empty windows spaces, i meant to make them like that, well, maybe i'll make them an arch afterall, like, a arch right infront of a wall, like on the other side as you see

well, some improvements i should make

the dome is not finished also

[IL. 1,043]

I think it's done

what do you think?

i don't like the last picture much

and about the roof, i don't know what to put on it

[Evillions 552]

Love the model! But use better textures, make it more yellowish - brownish instead of it being white and pink. It would look better.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Your model is looking good, and yet your textures may need a little more work.

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Model is looking goood, and the wall textures are , but the roof texture needs work, because its tiling a little bit.

[IL. 1,043]

well, i don't think brownish is, good, but, maybe some yellowish parts because of rain and etc..

i like the white walls, and i don't think that i have any pink in here

[IL. 1,043]

it seems you all agree on the textures, maybe the roof textures

that's what i was wondering about, what should i put on the roof? maybe it would look better if i put some objects on it, and also some parts that are little more elevated than the others

so what do you think those 'things' should be, i mean those that to put on the roof

  Edited June 30, 2011 by IL.  

[IL. 1,043]

i added some roof junk, i didnt change the roof texture, but, besides the roof junk, i made some parts of the roof that are little more elevated than the rest of the roof

i'm going to upload it now i think

is there anyone that can help me with making the roof next time?

[harishna 847]

why would you upload it as it is instead of waiting a bit more and fix the roof texture instead. Is someone forcing you to upload this now? I am not so concern about the tiling issue, for me is really minor here but rather about how bland it looks. Use GIMP or photoshop to adjusted, use dodge and burn tools to add worn and water marks. Don't go crazy on this. also the dome seem a bit flat to me, but maybe this is how they look in real life...

well, roofs are usually, clean, and white, or, light gray

i actually already added some roof junk, like air contioners and etc..

well, i still didnt upload it

and i don't think i know what to do more, i'm not so good at roofs, since the roofs that i know, are clean, maybe have some satellite-dish, or some place to put clothes to dry, or a small roof room that have things that are not being used anymore in it

i'm not good with photoshop btw

so, maybe some more roof junk will hide it, maybe some solar panels

about the dome, how do you think i should make it better? maybe it look like, somehow isolated?

this is how it looks for now btw

[harishna 847]

I guess you didn't understood my comments, I didn't say to make the roof darker what I meant is too add stains or dirt marks, this doesn't mean too make the roof look dirty, but to make it look less homogeneous. Check maxis building and look carefully how there are small gradients darker and lighter areas, usually darker areas are on the edge this is were dirt and water tends to accumulate. If you add roof junk make sure it makes sense with the kind of building you making, I don't know much about mosques, so I don't know how much sense AC units and cloths lines make.

About the dome again I don't know about mosques so check real life examples and compare them to your model.

[IL. 1,043]

i see, well, i managed to improve it and make it less homogenos, and little random

and now, i have a prblem in exporting it, after i export it, and when i put it on a lot, at the closest zoom, and the one after it, i see some randome maxis buildings ripped off, instead of my model i exported it again an again, same problem

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

to fix this, open a new scene, go to file>merge, and select your model in the list, and merge every thing except for the LODS and Cameras, and save again then export and it should fix that problem, it ussually does for me.

[IL. 1,043]

okay got it

and here it is

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/26446-tn-mosque/

[IL. 1,043]

this one will replace the maxis small police station, (the 1x1 one)

i'm going to remove the dome btw, it would look better without it

the windows' glass looks kinda dark, i'll have to make them lighter too

[IL. 1,043]

here it is, it's done

Looks good! Do you use transparent windows? Nothing to complain about your latest BAT but to me the roof junk on your previous BAT looks as bit overwhelming....What I mean to say is, it looks like an old building and the roof junk just doesn's seem to fit. And you could possibly make the roof a little more gray?...I have a feeling it would look nicer...maybe it's just my taste?

Keep up the good work!

[IL. 1,043]

Looks good! Do you use transparent windows?

yes, not much, just 70% opacity

Nothing to complain about your latest BAT but to me the roof junk on your previous BAT looks as bit overwhelming....

great

hehe, no wonder i didnt get much comments on it

Keep up the good work!

a building being old, doesnt mean to be technologicly old too, you can consider it old or new btw, not necessarily old

the roof may look better if darker, maybe you're right, i didnt try it darker than that, but, it's already done

[IL. 1,043]

anyone interrested in making bats with me?

[IL. 1,043]

i'll be making this one one

I found it on google somewhere

still tun. architecture

i guess i'm going to stick with the first part
