Model looks great. The only thing thats bugging me is that roof texture. Its way to bright and not very realistic. I'd try and find a good texture making tutorial somewhere (Look in the BAT FAQ thread)

Gotta agree with Jayo on this one, model is great but everything looks too clean. Especially for a garage. I'd like to see the roof look more realistic and the parking lot a little dirtier if you can do that. The roof is the big one though.

Great BAT, looking forward to a download whenever it is ready to go.

[benno2005 112]

thanks for the feedback iv'e taken it on board so what do you think now?

[Delecto 941]

The model is great and the new roof textures greatly enhance the rendering, but I think you can do even better.

Try to accentuate the black lines on top to give more character to your roof.

[benno2005 112]

Delecto is this what you mean?

[Delecto 941]

not exactly! It's better but I was talking about lines on the faces of the roof. Sorry if you don't understand me well, English isn't my first language. Oh and try to show us zoom5 rendering.

[Dannibee 138]

Man, I love the textures on the garage forecourt, I would say it looks just about right now, and the nitelighting looks fab as well. Those new roof textures look a lot better as well. I would say it's probably ready for release BAT wise, but I don't know much. Keep it up

Delecto i think im on the same wave length now is this better?

[Dannibee 138]

I can't really judge until we see how it looks in game again, I persoanlly like the edges a bit more toned down, but that's my opinion

[benno2005 112]

Dannibee i will tone down the edges no probs, also i will show in game shots at zoom 4 & 5 day and night before release.

[Delecto 941]

Again it's difficult to determine if you don't show a zoom5 rendering, but I think you're going in the right direction.

Delecto here you go zoom5 render now what do you think?

[Delecto 941]

I find it much better, don't you?

[benno2005 112]

I find it much better, don't you?

Delecto thanks for your input and everyone else this is now ready for release.

[Dannibee 138]

I can't wait for this to be on the STEX, you have improved beyond beleif since your first attempt and I look forward to many more BATS Great work on the Kwik-Fit, I will certainly use it alot in my cities

[benno2005 112]

the kwik-fit garage is finaly released on the STEX thanks everyone on your feedback, now onto my next project.

[Utvaw 45]

This looks great, you did a fantastic job on the parking area with the oil stains and so on. Better than I could have hoped for. Looking forward to what you have up your sleeve for you next project.

[jayo 44]

Can't wait for the next project. Keep it up!

Iv'e decided to make another version of the kwik-fit garage here is a small preview its far from finnished it needs work on the roof and carpark textures yet, but what do you think?

I think you should de-saturate most of your textures (blues, reds) way too saturated same for the cars used in your previous BAT

harishna how do you de-saturate your textures im using photoshop?

here is another preview iv'e done the carpark and the roof what do you think? all feedback helps.

[Dannibee 138]

It looks a lot better, I'm not sold on the roof Skylights but I can't really judge until we see an ingame render.

some more previews

[IDS2 3,396]

For me it's under image>desaturate. I'm glad to see another one of these, your first one turned out really nice!

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Your skills are growing every week. It looks very good benno.

I really want to see what you can BAT in 6 months

Love the facade!

But the edges of the rectangular signs are looking out of the roof!

[jayo 44]

I echo Peter007's comments. There has been marked progress in your BATing skills since the start of the thread.

[jayo 44]

I echo Peter007's comments. You can clearly how much you've improved since the start of this thread and I'm looking forward to your future work! Also, the Kwitfit does look nice although I do think you could find a higher resolution texture for the Kwitfit sign's on the facade of thee building as they look a bit blurry. Other than that, keep it up!

[harishna 847]

To reduce the blurrines of the sign on the slate material editor find the map go to the additional parameters - coordinates and reduce the blur to .1 or .2 and under bitmap parameters switch filtering to summed area.

You can reduce the saturation of a bitmap directly in 3ds max by adding a color correction map or you can a edit the texture used in gimp or photoshop.
