007's Bat Thread

[emperordaniel 1,281]

CAKE!!! D:

I'm looking forward to the release of this BAT

[paulvmontfort 616]

the lighting problem happens because your TB2CameraHandle dummy is rotated in the wrong direction. In case you don't know, it's the green box wireframe in the centre of your scene. If you can't see it, you have to unhide and unfreeze the BAT Rig layer. You can solve the problem by manually rotating the dummy back to the position it should be or delete it and reset your light rig. I must say I otherwise like your apartment block a lot.

Can I have a piece of cake please?

Nice block! The roof is awesome!

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Wow overloaded with comments

supremec; Thanks, my friend.

paulvmontfort; Thanks paul. I tried it but it didn't worked. I'm now trying to merge it in a new scene.

emperordaniel; Me too

harishna; Well I will try merging it in a new scene. I already resetted the cameras. Thanks for your compliment

DragonAnime; Thanks, I hope it will fly to the STEX one time

Frex_Ceafux; Thanks. I hope you like this update too. I arrayed the floors ten times. Like it?

_Marsh_; Thanks, you may call me Ernst the next time

Well lately I have more on my head then just go BATting. Exams are moving on and there are lots of other things. Not to mention the bug which is untill today unsolvable. But I still make progress. The textures are made to real life but the didn't came out well I will darken some textures up and change some textures too.

I hope you like it so far.

The roof looks really but but the rest just feels like a flat texture unless I'm seeing it wrong? I would really use arch and design mats to make the mats more convincing, they are very easy to use.

[PBGV103 729]

Your lighting rig is rotated the wrong way, and your gamma looks off to my eye; however, I'd ask SimFox about that part.

Edit: I didn't notice the lighting issue had already been addressed. If deleting and then recreating the rig doesn't fix the problem you might try simply rotating the rig manually 180 degrees (if that's what it is off by).

*Blows dust off*

I started working on a building and I thought why not share it with the community. Maybe someone can say something to improve?

Now the stone texture isn't realy done but I intend to get back on that later when I can get a nice view of the overall building.

Do you like it so far?

-Ernst

[zahrul3 471]

Nice to see how your BATting has improved a lot since the last time you decided to BAT

het ziet er zeker al indrukwekkend uit. (it already looks impressive). Although it seems you haven't figured out the bat lighting rig problem because the shadows are pointing the wrong direction

[Amthaak 1,501]

I like it very much! Amazing job!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Glad to see you batting again. I really like it. Where do you get the trees.

Just one thing: In my opinion, there are too many chairs and tables.

[TZLNCTV 12]

I think you're doing great at it.

:D :D :D :D

No exaggeration.

@TZLNCTV. Thank you!

@Skyscraper. Yup many tables and chairs. That's because I didn't knew what to place else . The trees are from a program called Forest lite. It's created by Itoo software. Google it and you will find. It works with the particle system very useful, because it won't extend your poly count

@Amthaak. Thanks!!!

@Paulvmontfort. Dankjewel!!! I'm glad you liked it.

@zahrul3. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.

Progress on the building. Like 90% of all work is done in 3dsMAX.

Nice modeling skills, though I don't think 3 pillars can hold the overhang.

Can I see the real building/reference?

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

http://maps.google.nl/maps?q=Rotterdam&hl=nl&ll=51.918463,4.483741&spn=59.731244,173.144531&sll=52.469397,5.509644&sspn=3.634286,10.821533&t=w&hnear=Rotterdam,+Zuid-Holland&z=3&layer=c&panoid=teVbwIcWAxdCr_T4StkrSg&cbll=51.918463,4.483741&cbp=13,-167.3715892770174,,0,-29.048960213131963

Now I'm not recreating the building but I am using it as a reference. That's why it looks so much alike.

so good luck then!

[paulvmontfort 616]

I already thought it was based on the Coopvaert tower in Rotterdam

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Well done. However, I don't like the architecutre of this building.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Very good so far , I really like what you did with roof details!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Between, thanks for the answer. Is the programme free?

@skyscraper; That's a pity. I'm glad you stopped by

@Amthaak; Thank you, Do you like the adjustments I made?

@Paulvmontfort; You were right.

@Zahrul; I did make them a little bit wider though. I hope you like them now.

I did some work on the upper three floors, the roof junk and I exported the building once to let Dr. Greg and The Cooking Queen take a look about it. The scaling seems okay. As you can see in this picture

Then I changed some things to the front pillars. I made them a little bit wider.

And I changed the Tilling of the building. Now you can actually see that it is bricks instead of the real life concrete. I liked this more

Without any criticism I will continue with the nightlights.

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Very nice update, and its great to see it in-game!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I the roof junk.

[gutterclub 2,729]

I really love it, the roof is just fantastic. My only criticism is that the glass could be a lot livlier, you are you a ground plane to reflect a city backdrop?

[Amthaak 1,501]

I second what GC said concerning the glass reflection! The roof is exceptional!

Can't wait for the nitelites!

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

@Amthaak; Thank you!

@Gutterclub; Thank you very much

@Skyscraper; Thanks!

@Frex;Yeah. It is a very happy feeling if you see your building in game. it just gives a feeling that you're already halfway through.

I wasn't satisfied with the glass either. it is to repetitive. So I made some curtains for some variation.

In a far zoom it looks really cool but I still need some work on it. I think adding some easy shapes to the interior will do the job. Just let's experiment and we will see.

If anybody has a better idea? Please say it!

-Ernst

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Cool, nice update, can we see it from a further zoom?

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

As you wish Frex

Zoom 4 South

Zoom 3 West
