BATs by Bipin

Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow! Also, here's some more futuristic stuff, some sort of inflatable, organic alien structure:

 

 

 

Basically just an experiment with using molecule/tertiary protein structure creation programs. In fact, I believe I made this from part of glucose structure. They an make some pretty neat organic shapes.   (Sorry, but I had to, it was "punny").

Beautiful home  . I like it, but y brick textures need some correction, and seems odd and too big.

But your roof will be perfect, what's your technic to realise it ? ( bump map or displacement )

 

I can't wait to see an upload of your work

[libellibicus 396]

The house is tip-top.  Nice one, Bipin.

more and more futuristic

the genuine art

Forgot to show this one:

 

 

Enjoy!

[MandelSoft 2,775]

 Oh wow! That's so cool!

[Magneto 316]

Those textures are gorgeous.

[Bipin 3,403]

Thanks for the kind words! Back to houses, these will be the styles for my latest ones:

Bipin, I saw on one of your pics some beautifully crafted guard rails, and I was wondering if you intended to release them as props... those would fit perfectly. for a T21 based urban enhancement mod 

What do you think?

I think I will do a T21 mod. In fact, I was looking at how to do so just yesterday.

[Magneto 316]

Nice! T21s are very labour-intensive but you can make great things with them. With your taste for urban art, I'm sure you gonna nail it.

Some more house stuff, mostly fooling around with colours:

 

 

This is more so just a testbed for ideas.

 

 

Here's the original one:

 

 

Definitely going HD with this one:

 

 

I had always vowed to do nightlighting for my suburban houses:

 

 

 

One one hand, you get a nice brick bump texture all over for the day. On the other hand, you get some beautiful nightlighting for DarkNite house. (Psst... Cool fact: The images get increasingly bigger towards the bottom, like a pyramid. Funny and unintentional).

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great, I like your nightlight, just perfect

[Bipin 3,403]

Here's a really big update, get ready for a wall of pictures.

 

Daylight render from the south perspective, in SD:

 

 

Same environment settings and perspective, except HD, zoom five:

 

 

Same scene, but zoom six:

 

 

Once again, the same SD scene, except at night:

 

 

Now in HD, at zoom five:

 

 

Same HD scene, but zoom 6:

 

 

Now during daylight, in SD, and from the west perspective:

 

 

Also from the same perspective and zoom, but in HD:

 

 

Same HD scene, but at zoom six:

 

 

Now back to SD and at night:

 

 

Same zoom and same perspective, but in HD:

 

 

Finally, the same scene in HD, but at zoom six:

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this comprehensive group of pictures displaying my latest model. I've done a lot of the work, having modeled the whole thing, so now it's time for you to do some work! Let me know whether you'd prefer to see this exported as HD or SD, or at least, if I should focus on HD or simply SD details. Personally, I'd rather HD, but that's largely your decision, so let me hear what you've got to say!

 

[libellibicus 396]

The HD version is amazing.  The details are just spot on.  HD all the way for me.

[mattb325 28,890]

Looking very nice indeed. My preference is SD, but whichever way you go, I would add a slight gradient to the roof tiles.

If you are manipulating the image in photoshop or a similar program, some lighter and darker areas/smudges across the tiles will add interest. Also, I would probably add a window or two (even if it is small like a bathroom window) down those side walls...your sims will thankyou by not having to turn the light on during the day

[dubaidude303 1,125]

I love these!!!!!

[Jasoncw 11,941]

You can probably figure I'm for SD. 

[gutterclub 2,729]

I'm with Matt, SD and add a gradient to the roof and a bit of weathering.

 

As its a small BAT could you render SD and HD same as we offer Darknite and Maxis Nite

[Cockatoo 2,257]

I'm just about the only BATer (if I can still call myself that lol) who will vote for HD in situations like this... but I have found that a majority of players actually appreciate the extra detail at z6. From my observations, BATers like consistency, players like something cool to look at.

 

Additionally, if you opt for just a regular definition render, a lot of the detailing that really bring the building to life just won't show up.

 

So yeah, if you prefer HD, I say you should do it.

[Bipin 3,403]

Thank you everyone for your replies, it is greatly appreciated! Based also on what I've receivied on other forums besides SImtropolis, I have decided to do HD as a primary render, and SD as a later possibility. In regards to BATing consitentcy as Cockatoo brought up, I suppose I'm filling the void of what both parties; BATers and users want. As far as my consitetncy goes, I've always done houses in HD, and that seems like it is what most people want. Besides, in certain situations HD is better than SD at zoom 5. Look at the details in the HD zoom five night shot, you can see the texture in the rocks and bricks much better.

 

Once again, thanks everyone for your replies. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

[Bipin 3,403]

Here's a small update:

 

 

I started the second floor/attic and added a few details, can you find them?

 

 

Expect this to be done soon!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this little update!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Oh, a shame I missed this one. I like you for having your very own style!

It's probably one of the stuff produced at nanotech INC. Seems sort of a carbon-plastic compound.

[Bipin 3,403]

Thanks for the comments both of you! Konstantin, how perceptive of you! I've always taken interest in organic polymers; those which contain carbon, which are most plastics out there. The sheer variation in them has always astounded me (hell, I take biochem for the fun of it). Here's an update on those houses:

 

 

 

The question is, what types of windows/gables should I place in this attic area? I'm wondering if I should go with either smoothly curved gables or typical triangular ones like in the rest of the house.

 

 

I'm also needing opinions on cedar shakes or vinyl siding for the exposed wall area, and if any windows should go there. Hope you all can help me out with this one!

[libellibicus 396]

Personally, I would go with regular (triangular) gabled windows.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Beautiful home, and great job 

I'm agree with libellibicus, with with regula gabled windows

[Bipin 3,403]

Thanks for the comments, triangular gables it is! Also, just a heads up, my next project after these houses will be a T21 mod making elevated RHW look like this minus the water:

 

 

I feel as though before I release all my interchange models en masse, this will make all other overpasses and whatnot be of a more cohesive design that the aforementioned interchange models will better blend with. The only problem is, I'll need a partner in crime to get me started with or said in modding something this daunting; it'd essentially be an extension of Blue Lightning's ERHW mod.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

Daunting T21 tasks... Yup, did that quite some times before, so I might want to help you out with T21 problems, though I my schedule doesn't allow to work full time on this

[Monkee_boy 41]

Lovely lighting on those bungalows!
