daTS's BATs

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Okay well I know what I want to do with the front. I've made some subtle changes to the actual structure itself, as well as started on the grounds. As per usual, ignore the placeholders on the ground plane. Also ignore the odd rendering error on the HVAC on the top. I forgot to set the raytrace acceleration off BSP2. Reflecting pools/fountains are WIP right now. Still working out the reflections.

Anywho, the back (not seen here) kind of bothers me. It seems bland. I'm thinking maybe adding small shops or something (meaning you should put a street/road/ped mall there). What do you think about that idea?

 

Also, the lot will be transit enabled to connect the underground parking garage to the road.

It's looking good. You will do a garden there?

Lawson Hardman is on hold thanks to some rendering errors that I can't quite figure out. Will come back to it when I find a resolution. 

In the meantime, I'm working on something with a little less glass. 

This is the Office of Naval Intelligence. I'm going for a more "bunker" feel, with lots of solid concrete and not too much glass. It's going to be pretty spartan, except for the roof. Still not sure what to do with the roof yet.

Looking good.

Your works are all great. I'll be more than happy if I could have one of them one day.

Always anticipating.

Looking great Dats .. get some of these issue resolved and start releasing them

 

You are such a bat tease

[TekindusT 3,809]

Why not BATting a bunch of aerials and antennas for that roof; as well as the typical roof junk? Your BAT is a bit reminiscent for me to the old Navy Captainship building in Barcelona (BTW, one of the city's first skyscrapers), and it features a bunch of these antennas on top. They could look cool.

 

Nice job, BTW!

Pretty much done with the daytime render. I didn't *quite* get the reflections like I wanted them, but they do match the Maxis buildings better this way.

Wow,  that's looking amazing. You really are teasing with these BATs, just hoping to see them out on the STEX sometime Just curious, but what computer/laptop do you have to run 3ds Max? My 7 year old HP Pavilion dv6 laptop [i guess laptop is the keyword here lol] doesn't fare well with detailed, large-scale BATs. I can only usually render props, small structures, and low poly high-rises.

I have a liquid cooled AMD FX 8350 Black Edition (Overclocked to 3.73GHz) with 32GB of RAM and a GTX 780ti. 

I spent a couple thousand dollars building this rig. She's a killer gamer and she can render pretty well with the 32 gigs of RAM I've got in her.

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Nice, I'm liking the reflections!

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Took a break from high-rises, so I made something a little more local. Please Enjoy the Illium National Bank. It's up on the STEX right [

Way to leave my fan + small desk fan cooled laptop in the dust huh?

 

Anyways, that's a great BAT, definitely worth a download

Huston, if you ever need anything rendered, please feel free to send it my way. I'd be more than happy to render it for you.

Thanks for the offer, and I'll run it by you if I do. Luckily so far though, 3ds Max is treating my laptop pretty decently with these models. So -hopefully- it all works out.

This BAT look very nice so far, now I'll follow this thread with more attention

Keep it up man

[weixc812 509]

Thank you so much for sharing!
