007's Bat Thread

Wow, this is stunning!! I really love the details that you've put on the roof; these are some of the best roof-details I've seen in a very long time. That's not to say the rest of the building is lacking, because it's really looking fantastic!

Very interesting model, regarding the umbrellas I think is good to have one or two pointing in different directions but all in random orientation doesn't look so natural to me...

keep it up!

Harishna; I changed that. Thanks for stopping by

DCmetro; Thanks for the compliment

Skyscaper; Thank you!

Frex; Thanks

Ok I finished the day building, but the nightlights didn't came out properly, since there were many glitches and bugs. Therefore I let the building rest for a while to find a solution for it.

Yesterday I started on something new.

Anybody knows the ugly Wibauthuis? On the wibautstraat in Amsterdam?

I added an edge render to make the "details" more visible.

I hope you like it so far.

The blocks at the left top of the building are layout "dummies" It helps for starting to build. Sometimes I end up full with ideas but with an empty scene for about 3 hours and that's when it comes very useful

With almost half a year thinking time. I've continued again on my building.

I'm not sure about the roof (just going to change it but not sure into what), but modeling the exterior is mostly done. I have to say that it doesn't look so handsome now

Work on the Coopvaert hasn't really progressed since last time. I fixed the walls a bit but that's all.

I'm just posting a new picture because I saw that the last session became invalid. You can still see some errors in some places.

Not much this time to show due a lack of inspiration and the drive to create something, but I feel something coming the next few weeks

Looks awesome, especially the second one! So much detail in that roof. I really don'y have much to say on the second one but that the windows are too transparent and not reflective enough. Right now it looks as if there's no windows there, just frames. Lower the transparency to about .9 and instead of fresnal reflections, use a custom reflectivity function. 2 and 9 should make them look more substantial while still keeping the transparency there. Play with it some, though.

Great work on these. I hope that those feelings of something coming are real because I want to see these finished

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Thank you Darn. You really helped me on this. And a picture to show off. You can stll see some windows at the top which aren't applied to this material yet.

And I want to bring the attention a bit on for some ideas or suggestions on this building.

I guess my lil' project is good to go.

This building recalls me of EXPO

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

And suddenly he's is back!

 

And small doesn''t mean it's going to turn out bad D:

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

The building is on the STEX

[Thunderman 30]

thanks for batting this 00.7 cheeses i really like the bat! one happy camper here

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Honesty, somehow I think this BAT isn't really ready yet.

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Replies;

 

Thunderman; Thanks. I'm happy for you beeing happy. It was a pleasure to do.

skyscraper241; I wanted to do something quick and I thought it was good to go. Mainly because it wasn't my model I made it really fast ready for STEX. I didn't wanted to put in to much effort but still just enough. And I was glad about the result. I tested it in my city and I liked it and that's what counts here (*no offense*) and I'm very glad my requester (here above) also liked it. I hope you like my next building better.

 

I started work on the garden. Took textures from the LOT-editor and put them down in GIMP where I put them together and implemented them in 3dsMAX. I need some stands and benches but that gonna be taken care of. First I would like to put work on the HVAC on top of the roof.

 

What do you think of one side yellow and one side red?

[Tenzin 30]

Wow, the buildings is fantastic working ^^ô Awesome °Ö°

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Lol, no that was no offense, don't worry. What is most important is that you like it yourself. I just alway have the problem that I can't really judge about stuff I'm doing.

 

Are those the trees you sent to me

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Hi,

 

It has been much to long since I did something here.

So time for an update

My building has taken shape at last, but still there needs an awful lot to happen. It's not a building based on real-life so I'm totally free what to do with it. I'm also going to make a base for this building. The main LOT is at the moment 9x3 which is bigger than my imagination was at the moment of shaping the BAT on paper.

 

The only thing bugging me is the terrible glitch happening at the top of the building. I have no idea what happens there.

 

Oh and special thanks to Glenni for bringing the idea of a green roof and special thanks to xyladoria for advisement on the concrete pillars.

 

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

[Huston 5,796]

This looks amazing, and it's not your everyday BAT! I don't even know how to describe it! Just waiting in anticipation for this to be done at this point.

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Hi all,

 

First a reply to Huston.

Thank you for your enthusiasm. I hope I can make it even better with this picture.

 

And now a story.

I revised the roof a bit. Removed the cage and placed some steel instead, made a bump map for the roof texture and added some additional flora. I also made some interior for the top floor reastaurant. I hope you like it. 

 

Constructive criticism is very welcome.
