Nick13 BATs

Sounds good, I love this unique Starbucks. Thanks to you I will have two oddly beautiful Starbucks all over my city, but yours will be the most common. I love it.

I think the KFC is finally done!

Changes include:

New lighting up front, the three cylinders were on the front originally but I deleted them because I didn't know how I would light it.

New height and menu signs

More roof junk details and texture changes

Roof dirty up, I told the KFC not to talk about my mom like the way it was but it just wouldn't listen so I had to take it around back and dirty it up some Don't worry about me I only have a few scratches

Anyway so yeah I think I'm done. I'm going to need someone to export it for me after all. I tried removing gmax and sc4 bat then re installing them but still got the same problem So who ever volunteers I will be personally thankful and i'm sure the community will be too.

sorry to disagree nick...

I am not sure if I like all the changes I think the roof looks too busy now three of everything for such small building is too much, the new roof txture doesn't work for me, you got line of running grim that are not coherent with the roof junk location...

you got a nice model there just hang there a little bit longer

Looks great, I like the detail you have added and I love the roof funk.

I do not think so, what about the speaker box?

I would like to order twelve pice and a coke a cola.

Keep it up, do not rush but I think your becoming to be a great batter.

Hmm, I respect your opinion, but I feel it is done. I like the roof. And KFC, even the small new ones, are always busy and I'm sure the have a grimmy roof, I love it and the changes. Maybe a few touches if you want or you're done. I love the food sign at the drive thru, maybe add a speaker box and you will be done. I like it. But heck, I wouldn't mind if you released it right now. But I'll wait till Monday.

This is more what I had in mind for your roof. Nice and subtle.

[madhatter106 3,903]

I agree with SimHoTToDDy - subtle is better.

The current roof has these weird striations, which resemble either runny drippy marks (which wouldn't make sense, as the roof is parallel to the ground) or it looks like someone dragged the HVACs across the roof with some grease beneath them. It doesn't make sense, and ruins what is shaping up to be a good BAT.

I've stated elsewhere, but it bears repeating - one bad texture can ruin a BAT. The roof texture is perhaps one of the most important ones to get 100% right, because we see the roof from all angles, and we see a lot of it - I bet a good two thirds of any BAT of this size is the roof...

I never noticed that lol I'll move some things around and maybe sell a few.

Sorry Aaron I don't think they serve twelve pieces here but i'll get you that coke and speaker box.

It's alright Zulu it wont take long to fix these three things I think it will be finished by Monday but it might take a little while longer before I can upload it

This is more what I had in mind for your roof. Nice and subtle.

So the one on the left above the deer is your suggestion? I'll try to get close to it It looks kinda fuzzy. Is going to that fuzzy in game?

I used one of your older renders, perhaps that is why it was not as sharp. Your current ones don't look as soft, but it would be in your best interests to check it out in a similar way to what I did above. A gray background in a render can only tell you so much.

[Kifflom112 355]

I guess that is good, but I have to say, why be so picky on roof texture, it is good the way it was when you updated today. I've seen good roof texture go to just plain boring roof textures after saying it was too grimy.

[nick13 194]

Some changes

[harishna 847]

I think you going in the right direction Nick13 and I am very pleased to see you have patience and are willing to improve your creations, for being your first creations they are turning to be really good, so keep it up!!

On another note Zulu why you constantly come with this mediocre a point of view, specially when you got no experience on this. I am not an expert either but it looks as my comments are exactly the same as more experienced people...We are not being picky about the roof texture just because we are evil people that want to annoy Nick13, but rather because we trying to help him go in the right direction so that when he finish this model you would go holly macaroni that building looks fantastic. You want him to release something as soon as possible for what reason, why can't you wait another week? And again you don't seem to understand that we are not against a grimy texture, it just that the one he picked has some leaking marks that doesn't make sense.

[nick13 194]

Thanks harishna! It makes me proud to know such skilled BATers like you think I have potential. I'll keep it up!

Zulu, harishna has a point I need to follow what they say over what I think because they are experienced and know what they are talking about. I definitely don't want you to stop commenting though! It's your imput that keeps me motivated and keep me from getting distracted. Your just as much as a help as Aaron, harishna, Frex, IDS2, simHoTToDDy, and everyone else that has commented. Just call me nick lol, 13 was two almost 3 years ago.

This is awesome, so when are we going to find this in the ST exchange?

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Do you know how to make a 1:1 texture like the one you might need for your roof? I might have to make time for a tutorial...

[nick13 194]

It might be a while IL im having export issues unfortunately. But it will be released!

I don't, I could really use a tutorial thanks

Well, you know fine, why don't just make the roof texture like other models? But why are you saying oh I am constantly saying this when I only said it 2 times? I'm only saying it because I am talking about what I see on the map. You don't need to BAT to know what a real roof texture looks like. I live in San Antonio. The buildings aren't that nice so sorry, but maybe I have that point of view. I say it's nice I'll just not help on roof texture anymore then.

[IL. 1,043]

Did you make the hall building into one group before exporting it?

Also resetting the cameras and LODs?

It always works for me like that

[nick13 194]

Well I can export it from max but not SC4bat, the gmax and SC4bat don't seem to be getting along well. I run SC4bat from gmax like im supposed to but I can't export because the B.A.T tab won't open in utilities.

[madhatter106 3,903]

I guess that is good, but I have to say, why be so picky on roof texture

Because an A or an A+ is always better than a B- or a C+.

[Kifflom112 355]

Are you still having troubles with exporting?

[IDS2 3,346]

Have you tried reinstalling BAT/gmax? I know for me they didn't install correctly the first time, but then I reinstalled SC4 as well and it seems to work fine now...

[nick13 194]

Have you tried reinstalling BAT/gmax? I know for me they didn't install correctly the first time, but then I reinstalled SC4 as well and it seems to work fine now...

So do I install gmax then SC4bat then re install SC4 in that order?

[IDS2 3,346]

I uninstalled them all, then installed SC4 first (I think BAT needs SC4 installed to run) then gmax/BAT.

[nick13 194]

Thanks for the advice IDS2, but I still have the same problem as before.

Any better?

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

It looks perfect Nick

[Kifflom112 355]

I agree, this looks fantastic, I really want this.

I'll try that thanks IL

Thanks!

soon I promise

If none of the more experienced baters have comments then i think i'm done. Now to sort out this exporting problem.

[The Avatar 1,089]

Wow! That is looking great! I can't wait 'till its out.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I have to say you have came a long way, Keep it up.

I remember seeing one of your tutorials were can I find it??
