Hello Guys. I'm starting into BATing again, so I thought I'd start posting my progress on my BATs.

Now, I haven't done this in awhile, so as half-decent as the building I'm about to post is, feel free to make and really obvious suggestions- I'm pretty rusty at this.

So, here is what I'm working on right now. It's called the Jameson Building.

Also my first venture into window textures that aren't just semi-opaque rectangular extrusions.

Very interesting...couple of things I've noticed...

- the blue of the window texture is super super saturated...it looks crazy blue. I'd recommend lowering the saturation.

- your dumpsters seem wide enough, but are extremely narrow - almost like coffins. Google for some good dumpster pics to see the length to width ratio.

- your doors seem really short - how high are the doorways? I'd increase them a little, they look awfully squat.

- is that a handicapped ramp? Or just a ramp?

- the parapet looks a bit high - I'd raise the roof and the roofjunk a touch higher.

I love the billboard...

    OK! Thanks for the feedback, I was waiting for some actual tips, and not "thats dope foreal brah", as much as I like compliments on my work.

    So, I will reduce the window saturation, work on the dumpsters, and adjust the parapet perhaps.

    Also, the ramp is just a ramp for the second floor offices, not necessarily a handicap ramp. Also, I'll resize the roof junk. Cheers for now!

    What's your floor height?

    I forget what a tile is (1 meter) but no matter the measurement each floor is 4 tiles tall.
