He hasn't done nightlights yet...

Is this based on a real building?

So far so good.

Yeah, I'd make the black a little brighter. Something you can do, is go into the game and take screenshots of "black" buildings, and use the color selector/eyedrop tool to see how dark it really is. And then you can copy and paste your preview renders into the same photoshop/gimp/whatever file and compare them.

Overall I think it's looking pretty good.

Thanks, well I got the exterior design from a random dealership but the building it'self is made up. If that makes sense

It's been a long time since iv'e posted anything almost exactly one year.

 

Iv'e been on the site frequently though and have noticed that not many people are still BATing. The majority of the greats are not so active recently, I could easily name 15 or so. Seeing this made me feel quite sad on the inside. At fist glance it looks like the community is dying out. However seeing a few BATers stick it out and continue to produce quality content. I personally thank you IDS2, Jasoncw, Darknono, Bipin, Aaron G, reddonquixote, gutterclub, and Skyscraper Tower Building along with the ones who are lesser known. This current situation did not sit right with me so I decided to start BATing again to try to help produce more quality content on the stex. Nothing major really, props and a few suburban buildings and finishing one or two of my old projects. I don't really have time for big projects with my senior year starting next month.

 

So to start off I thought I would do a remake of something I found on the stex recently and thought was cool but a bit dated:

Lax glowing columns by nick13

 

I plan on doing these in a variety of different colors. Some solid color some multiple.

Nick, that looks absolutely amazing!  Great to see you taking up batting again.  Your KFC and Starbucks are masterpieces!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

^ What he said. ^ 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

It seems that the time of all those great batters returning has begun!

[weixc812 509]

Not only BATers but also us audiences choose to stay. It makes me excited to see great BATers like you coming back home

[Darknono35 3,137]

Great to see you coming back. And thanks for your support

Your KFC are located in my cities and your Lax columns are great so far, keep it up

[IDS2 3,346]

Wheee you're back it's great to see you around again, and those columns are an excellent update of a really cool concept!

[Bipin 3,402]

These look excellent and I can already think of a dozen places these could go in my cities, great work! I'm especially excited to see what you've got in store for us in terms of suburban BATs.
