Poole, Diamond and Associates BAT Showcase

thanks vid and subedei,

vid, you are right, this is 16 stories! so i guess that is a high rise, but looks more like a mid rise in city!

[DuskTrooper 316]

Anything below 50 stories looks like a midrise in my city...
ANYWAY, its looking good!

[Sk8zim17 43]

Looks good, but in my opinion you should lose that beige frame... it kinda looks ugly and out of place on that building. If you add some other detailing and neaten it up i might download it.

[jtportland 184]

thanks DT and Sk8zim17!

Sk8zim17, i agree the color was a little weird, but i've changed it, so it looks better now!

also i fixed up the roof all pretty...any more suggestions?



I will also make a skyscraper version of this building, cus i think it will look really cool taller!

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I really like what you have done to this building since the last time I look at this thread. Then I was thinking that for the upper part of the building, above the windows, it would be good to have that cladding that is starting to appear on buildings, particularly when buildings are being renovated/refurbished. I think it's made up of laquered metal tiles.

[dudyconstructor 46]

wow those blgs look great. really nice!

keep it up!

[subedei 3]

Very nice mid-rise. Keep up the great work.

Jt: A taller version? How about 30 floors? It might a little strange any taller.

Other than that, I Looks Wonderful!

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

You do, eh?

[jtportland 184]

thanks everybody for the comments! glad ya'll like the mid-rise

ok, i said i would make a taller version of this building... and i did!

behold:

The Summit Building B



and since no one knew where the short building is, it is located in Bellevue washington!

[Tunafish 48]

I think you should make the top part wider and centerit in the middle. it looks to skinny, or just make the second part taller

 

[HoustonBAT 0]

I like both, but I think the smaller one is good looking. I like the tables, and such. Makes it very high class. Right now, I am working on a city of nothing taller then the observation deck I made, and thats about 40 stories tall. So many mid-rise to Low-rise are always appreciated.

[HighRiser 6]

Hey man, they both look great. How about releasing both of them as a set.

[DuskTrooper 316]

Looks good!
Please tell me that the reflection texture is temporary....

[jtportland 184]

thanks everybody!

HighRiser, i will realse them both, but as separate buildings

HoustonBAT, cool to hear! glad someone else likes mid-rises hehe, do u have a CJ?

tuna, the top part is a pretty good size i think, it's just abit wider than 1x2 tiles. and for raising the middle part, that is possible... it might make the building look more squatty though because it is pretty wide, about 4 tiles wide.

DT, what's wrong with the reflective texture!? i do plan on fixing the other strip color though

I saw a couple people post they would look at your AMA building overgrowth problem. Has anybody looked at it? Fixed it? I would love to see this building in my cities. I hope somebody fixes it soon.

Why do I feel like I'm being ignored? If your not going to fix it, at least tell me so I will stop looking for an updated version.

[BananaRepublic 0]

lol that tower reminds me of the Trump Toronto.
I love the colour and the top of the building looks very unique.
Loves it!

When is it going to be released?

X_X Didn't mean to double post >_

[jtportland 184]

thanks Banana Republic! glad ya like it, like always, this will be released when im done with it . it still has some more work that i need to do with it

SimDragon, sorry you're feeling ignored, i havn't been the one who planed on fixing it. so i still have no idea what is up with the AMA update...

[jtportland 184]

ok, well here's the pic of the base of the building:



and more of the same side (middle section):

I thought the reflections looked pretty nice. The top of that building reminds me of the top of Chicago's Waterview Tower.

[JaWood 194]

This might actually look half way good as a skyscraper. Looks like it's footprint is gonna be huge though... I say 5x5 is generaly the maximum for me, otherwise I have trouble fitting them in tight downtown areas.

[geoff_diamond 43]

Just poking my head in to say I'm still alive and buried under a sea of studio projects

 

At any rate... Jes... love the new buildings, especially the shorter version!  Btw... the name of the building is sort of a dead giveaway... this is modeled after the first of three towers proposed for The Summit.  Now gimme my $%&^! ducks!!!

 

And, I would like to dedicate half of said ducks to ebur for mentioning Waterview Tower

[vidioman 21]

WW

 

That building is looking great! I love that post-modern, griddy style

 

 

[jtportland 184]

thanks eburress, JaWood and vid!

eburress, thank you! i really like the texture too, geoff made it, and since i don't have photoshop he can make the really nice textures! it gives it a very nice glassy look i think...and with a realistic reflection! and you're right about waterview! that's where i got the idea for the roof things

jawood, only halfway good? what ya think need improving? it would not be 5x5, 5x3 MAX or maybe 5x4, OR if im lucky, it will be able to fit on 4x3/4x4. but we'll see

glad to see you're alive geoff! and supprised u know about the summit, being in being in Bellevue wa and all

[Superstar 69]

great new high building, just like the otherone just in a grid look....

[jtportland 184]

thanks superstar!

last night i rendered the short building (summit building B) and it turned out great! except for the fact that i can't get the night lights to work . once i get this sorted out it shouldn't be too long for this to get on the stex.

[Superstar 69]

man that sucks, I get that all the time, for some reason a lot of my BATs will not render with night lights, I have no clue whats wrong though

[DuskTrooper 316]

Oh, did you name the group anything else? I learned the heard way that it MUST be named night windows, or else it will preview, but fail to render.

[SpartanBadger 4]

Those are some great new buildings you are sitting on there. I especially like the mid-rise building. Great job you guys are doing.
