BATs by Bipin

Transition pieces include the ones I'm still working on, so don't worry, it's covered. As for my CURB project, I'll make sure to do something for you tomorrow. For now though, you can view the video here:

The CURB pieces look nice, but do you also have simple, plain sections for them (without a frontage road exit or an overpass)? I really miss those in your set.

[Bipin 3,402]

I'll be sure to work on that once the roads are done. Thanks for pointing it out!

Those graphics looks like if they were Simcity 2013, I wonder if someone can make a mod that adjust the graphics of Simcity4 like that, like a slight blurry effect that is not too noticebal but improves the graphic, and the rest of the job will be using the BATs with high quality, and maybe some effects like, not being able to see the far areas alittle bit more blury, and add some more zones beyond the limits to make it more realistic than rather the edge of the world

Anyway, really nice video and effects!

Teaser time!

That'll be part of a futuristic base set. The set will include wall sections, such as this one, and will be fairly generic. Hope you enjoy!

I think Terring's gonna be happy!

[Evillions 552]

Dude!!!!!

That is one sexy wall!

[Susaji 523]

Cool!

Woooooow, it looks extraordinary!!!

So unique and stylish

[Forthwall 1,118]

Woah... That's amazing.

[Bipin 3,402]

That's not the only thing I've got up my sleeve:

I'd appreciate suggestions on what to do for the door. Right now I have this black airlock thing as a placeholder, but I'd love to hear some suggestions!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Cool looking models, keep it up!!!

[Bipin 3,402]

This is the window arrangement I'll be going after:

Enjoy!

[weixc812 509]

Models are cool, I love this football like building

[Susaji 523]

Fantastic!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Now we need some strange towers, and we can re-enact the movie Phase IV.

[Terring 6,473]

I think Terring's gonna be happy!

I'm already happy :thumb:

The people of Simcity community (just me and some few folks ) want more FUTURE stuff :D

[Bipin 3,402]

Not sure if I should remove or rework the legs:

What do you think?

[RepublicMaster 428]

Legs look fine, few to many of them in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

As I don't really know what this is supposed to be I think this is absolutely ok. I like the triangled surface!

[paulvmontfort 616]

it looks like a futuristic moon lander .

[TekindusT 3,809]

I'm sure that spursrule14 will appreciate its release to incorporate it to his Alien Worlds CJ...

[Bipin 3,402]

Thought I'd redesign the windows:

In my opinion, these windows seem more viable for a pressurized vessel such as this dome. What's your opinion? Don't bother with the pixelated part at the bottom, I just hid that part because it isn't the focus here.

[Terring 6,473]

I love it

It can also be an awesome building for the SimMars project

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I think it would make more sense to have the dome windows inscribed within the triangles, rather than centered on where the triangles meet.

I tried that, but they appeared simply too small. However, I will be doing a larger geodesic dome for another building, so I'll be sure to include them in that. I was also considering rounded triangles, but I am yet to find a way of modeling a non-Euclidean triangle with rounded vertices.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Yes, Jason idea was actually quite good. But after taking a close look at it you would need to change the whole surface strcture to create windows of the same size. However, I would still like to know how it looks.

Well, the one good thing about modelling in Google Sketchup is that it won't take very long to do that. Although, as I said, I didn't initially like it, but I figure I might as well try it again. Expect it tonight, as I'm at school now.

[RepublicMaster 428]

I prefer the triangle windows but still looks good.

Working on a walkway around the whole structure. This will help with creating a more defined base for the structure, as I had found many bases just looked odd from the SC4 perspective, as if the sphere was simply floating. I propose to add handrailings, ladders, stairs, and a few other greebles, but here are the basics:

Also, be sure to compare the two above images, texture-wise. The reflection is slightly toned down on the second one, to create a slightly more matte texture, which essentially changes some reflection intensity, although I'm not completely sold on it. Thoughts on which is better, or a compromise?
