007's Bat Thread

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Hello All,

You may know me from SimCity 4 Devotion, because I have a BAT thread over there, but I wanted to make one at Simtropolis forum too.

Lets show some work of me.

My latest one

My first one

My plane.

What do you think about them?

I'm now especially working on Dutch houses. As you can see on the first pic.

The one I'm working now on is this one

Don't make fun out of the funky colors

Any criticism is greatly appreciated.

That's why I opened up my Bat Thread.

I have seen your work before your doing a great job, and it's also good you have a thread here too.

[harishna 847]

Nice to see you here Peter, I like the first project you showing, the back is really interesting I just don't know if my eyes are tired or if the whole looks too bright

[IchimaruOO 8]

Hi Peter & Welcome!

They're beautiful, I like the european feeling (maybe even a mediterranean feeling?) they give me.

I've never BATted before though, so... I can't be all that objective, but I like 'em!

Good looking buildings!

@Aaron Graham , Thank you for your compliment

@Harishna , I will add dirt a soon as I will start the texturing of these two buildings

@Ichi , Thx mate

@Frex , Thanks

I've been working again on my Dutch buildings and this came out.

They're still untextured and I'm going to work on that soon.

Those are 2 beautiful biuldings, we need more family houses in SC4, i'm glad your biulding some.

[IchimaruOO 8]

Very good, especially number 2 because of the roof style.

Can't wait for the textures, I wonder how the'll look.

[supremec 77]

Fabulous, I can't wait to see with textures

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Frex_Ceafus ; Thanks for the comliment.

IchimaruOO ; Well here's number two with textures

supremec ; Thank you!

Update

I've finished one of my houses from my previous update

This came out:

They're based on a real house in Holland, but I thought that they we're to clean so I made them a bit dirtier and a bit less maintained.

Ooh yes and I've upgraded to 3ds Max 2012 and the viewports are soooo much better.

-Ernst

[supremec 77]

To much clean but excellent

[IchimaruOO 8]

Hmm,

Since the building is 'worn down', is it possible / a good idea to add a few cracks in the walls to the brown half, and perhaps some worn down or faded paintjob to the green-ish half? Or a graffity?

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

@Supremec

Thanks for the compliment

@IchimaruOO

Well what do you think about this?

This is a new project. It's for the Dunya project. Nedalezz needed a market stall so I built one, but should I do it with white cloth or brown or maybe just both

And this is the dirtier building. I made some chimneys and I think it's ready unless you say that I should add something to it. Also I need to add some nightlights, but I don't know exactly how maybe because I didn't thought about it yet

Thanks to Simfox for finding the bug which kept me away from exporting buildings.

The little market looks good, and your building looks great to.

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Good work

[harishna 847]

I think you still have the problem with the shadows showing in the wrong side...

Looks really nice!

I love these kind of buildings!

I'll be anxious to see you sharing this. (If that is your idea)

[supremec 77]

Lovely creations

[IchimaruOO 8]

Very nice!!

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Well it's me again.

IchimaruOO, supremec, Aaron Graham, Frex_Ceafus, Thank you so much for your kind words.

Maravone, Thanks a lot. I'm not sharing these buildings at least not in the near future. I want to make much better buildings, some worth sharing.

harishna, I think so too. I will take a look on it when I have the motivation to do that.

I didn't went to school this month. I'm still reviving from my 1,5 week in hospital when I was operated on my breast. Sometimes it hurts a lot. So I have to search some distraction.

Then I made this.

It's an 1970's Gallery Flat in Goes

Getting maps, pictures and other stuff was easy, because my grandparents lives there.

I never thought that it would be that big.

I'm now waiting on floor plans & methods for the 0 & 1 floor.

So this project is going to be quiet for a while

Hi Peter nice to see you creating new stuff. I think you have a problem with light rig it seems that this is a common problem with you previews you are using 3ds max but with BAT4MAX right?

[kakado_to_save 514]

a new socialist BAT so we could all build soviet like cities?

you're a god!

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Replies;

kakado_to_save; Thanks for the compliment. I hope you like it with the textures it has.

harishna; I'm glad that you like it. The problems with the rigs aren't solved yet.

I almost finished modelling, and started texturing a bit. The roof is therefore almost done. Gravel was difficult but I think it came out nice

I only have to make the entrance a bit more attracting and the balconies have to get ''stuff''

-Ernst

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

This is truely A Very Very good BAT, Great Work

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Are you using Arch& Design materials and are you using the BAT 4Max, if not you need to and I think you need to work on that roof texture a little it does not look right for that building, the roof looks soft or something.

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Replies;

Aaron Graham; Thanks for the advice aaron. Your a true friend. But still I didn't find a way to work your advice out nicely. So I'm still working with standard textures. And it isn't that bad. Don't you think

Frex Ceafus; Thank you very much!

I finished the roof just as good and bad as it could. I think it came out very nice. But you know that's just my opinion

Oh yes and eeh. I found out that it's just one year ago that I started Batting. (At least at simcity4 devotion )

So welcome to my first birthday party!!

Who wants a piece?

-Ernst

[_marsh_ 1,117]

The building looks promising peter.

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Very Good work, I like how you are making it floor by floor

[Chris M 406]

I really like the plane in your first post.

[harishna 847]

It looks so much better fantastic details, I absolutely love the roof however I think you are adding a lot of unnecessary details that are not going to be visible and are just making your scene more complex mainly the interior walls and floors.

I am still wondering why you got problems with the cameras/light, I asked you once but I think you didn't answer you using BAT4MAX right? have you try resetting the cameras, deleting the rig lights and reapply them? If this doesn't work merge your model into a new scene leaving OUT ALL the TB2 handlers and cameras that you find.

If this doesn't work I will suggest asking SimFox...
