Jason's BATs & Tutorials

[gutterclub 2,729]

I think really it can only be

Growable resi

Civic offices

College

Love it, so needed buildings like this.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

ok guys it's uploaded! 

 

There are 4x6 and 6x4 growables and a college version.

 

 

For the growable versions, since it's so easy to do with PIMX, I added some non-english language compatibility.  All I have to do for the name of the building is right click and paste into a text box.  So depending on which language version of SC4 you have, a different name will show up ("Kerrytown Apartments" translated into your language).

 

Xyloxadoria provided the Portuguese and Spanish translations,

Glenni provided the Norwegian and Danish translations,

and MandelSoft provided the Dutch, German, and French translations.  (thanks guys!)

 

 

Let me know if this is something I should do more of in the future. 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

You have done a good job!!! Keep it up. I think you need to do more of that.

Another one of my testing cities.

Goog work Jason, I love it , keep it up !!

[libellibicus 396]

Many thanks for this, Jason. I'm really glad you added the College version as well....very handy indeed.

[MTT9 187]

Another great addition to the game Jason! Looking foward for your next beauty

Nice work Jason. I really like this one. We really don't have many buildings like it, especially in a midrise size, and yet, it's not an uncommon style in real life. It fills a nice niche.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Congrats on your newest upload. It's fabulous!

[Gn_leugim 853]

nice job

[Delecto 941]

Great building, thank you very much for sharing!

Hello Jason...

 

popping to say I like the Kerrytown college/apartments... the sims like the college especially...

 

however I am unable to locate the apartments via the 'buggi cheat' under what name can I find 'em... good luck with the trixies as I chose your 'inland steel' for a nomination...

 

THX for the 2012 bats you and teh rest of teh BSP/ABBT teams made...

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Thanks everyone! 

 

Jack:  Thanks I appreciate your nomination.    You can find the apartments as "Jasoncw - Kerrytown Apartments (R$$7_6x4)(R$$7_4x6)" or something like that.  And then after you select that you can choose between the two lot sizes. 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Yeah, with Jason's stuff it's always sometrhing with "Jasoncw - [bUILDING NAME]".

 

In fact, it's usually either this, or the actual building name, or the team prefix first.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

So I made that mirrored glass material in Reddonquixote's thread and I couldn't let it go to waste...

 

 

Click on it to make it fullsize. 

 

I got a lot done on it.  This will be uploaded in March (one BAT a month!  )

 

The red/brown stuff will be granite later on.

 

The geometry of the base isn't final yet, especially around the entrance.

 

The trees' color will be tweaked later.

 

And I haven't started on the ground plane yet.  So far it's still the same screenshot as what I posted in Reddonquixote's thread.

 

It will be a 6x4.

Looking great!! Was secretly wondering if you were going to do something with the example you showed

 

Has a similar feel to Cockatoos's Comalco place

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks good, have you gotting my pm Jason?

[Delecto 941]

This is another great BAT in the making!

[MTT9 187]

Looks amazing already! I look foward to see what you desing for the base

[scotty222 549]

I love the shape

[T Wrecks 10,209]

You....!!! This is becoming almost spooky.

 

I see the picture.

I think "Wow, great - so he put that example to good use. Reminds me of cockatoo's Comalco Place".

I see your post.

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Brilliant start, I love red granite as a material so I'll be following this one closely

[art128 4,618]

Sweet looking! I like the glass.

The shape of the building is also very nice.

[Darknono35 3,137]

Wow !! Jasoncw you amaze me with your new BAT ! This one will be excellent, one more

Your glass and your trees are awesome !

[libellibicus 396]

The glass is uber cool. It 's starting to look like 2013 is going to be an awesome year for BATs.

Notice how we're never logged in at the same time!! Could it be?

Você poderia construir um bat da Casa Branca completa (White House complete)?

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I do not plan on making the White House. 

[Gn_leugim 853]

Você poderia construir um bat da Casa Branca completa (White House complete)?

 although you got the idea, let me translate:

 

"Can you one day build the White House?"

 

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Thank you, I figured that was what he meant but I wasn't sure. 

 

 

A quick update! 

 

I started work on the ground plane but it still needs work.  I got the roads and pavers in, and I also figured out the angle something needs to be on the ground plane in order for it to reflect straight up and down on the facade (see how the Ford Building and Knoll Building are not rotated).  Obviously there shouldn't be such obvious buildings, but knowing this angle will hopefully be helpful for making generic abstract shapes that when reflected appear vaguely like 3d objects and not a flat ground plane.

 

The main thing I did was make the red granite pavers.  I haven't done the main entrance yet.

 

And then I worked a bit on the trees.

 

But there's still plenty to do on all of these things.

I like the red pavers and i'm curious to know what happens whith those reflections.
