Amthaak's other bats thread

[Jasoncw 11,949]

Yeah, I second the suggestion to use the Sweep modifier instead.

I never thought I'd ever see the old Times Tower being recreated.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Let celebrate the inauguration of page 2!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looking great, I can't wait to see the windows in place. Keep it up buddy.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

This is one of the highest quality Bat I've seen recently.

[00.7 Cheeses 69]

Yay. It looks great. Just like Aaron said. I can't wait till the windows are in place.

Great roof junk! I really would like to know how much time you soent on all these details and ornaments. I think/hope the lower floors aren't finished yet. They don't look like they were. I don't know if I missed it but did you already tell us which building this is based on? Hope you keep it up.

[Seraf 1,239]

^^^ It was already said which building it is - The Times Tower. You just need to read earlier posts carefully.

Amthaak - It is impossible for me to tell how happy I am, that you chose this building to make. It looks wonderful already and my only concern right now is that the building looks a little dumpy. But it's probably just a matter of scaling it up.

You did a beautiful job on the ornaments of the upper stories; The entrance and rustication of the base won't be hard for you to make

I must praise you for yet another thing - your ability to percieve all the details from the limited amount of the pictures and limited quality as well. Great perception and amazing execution!

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Zomg...

MOAR!

[Francis90b 748]

I'd like to lobby Girafe as well ....it would be interesting to hear about his methods for the glass.

Lovely creation

Yesterday i saw this:

"Vintage times square"

I've thought someone might enjoy it (and maybe you might be interested in taking a look at pics from when the building was built, i think there are a couple of them).

Hope you like it.

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hello my friends and thanks a lot for your support.

@Seraf: as Vlad said, the difficulties come from the lack of avaible pictures with high definition; for the rest it is just patience ....!

@Vlad: fortunatly, you have provided some excellent pictures which help me so much, and I would like to thank you very much for that . BTW , if you find more , I'll take them!

@francesco, thanks for the link I can read now the "out of town newspapers" sign ! Girafe is very busy these days and have no time for the glass tut...!

And now a small update! I had to redone some of the columns!

[zahrul3 472]

Okay, since you model things like (and better than) some pros out there, are you working/studying something that involves 3dsmax? Skills like that don't come naturally

[Amthaak 1,501]

@zarhrul3; you are right, there is nothing natural in getting 3ds max knowledge even for a hobby, just studying...! just for your info I'm a winemaker

Bottoms up and long life to Simtropolis!

[harishna 847]

Fantastic stuff!

[Girafe 1,729]

Wine just helps to BAT correctly

[Amthaak 1,501]

:rofl:

[Jack_wilds 550]

a ducky for tweaks improvement, made a difference

[Francis90b 748]

Last time i checked, wine didn't exactly make for easier BATing ...

[Girafe 1,729]

you need more exercice

[Francis90b 748]

I will try to...oh, and i will exercise with BATing as well

I always thought you actually worked with 3dsmax.... just that winemakers have a LOT of empty time between harvests

[madhatter106 3,931]

You're not drinking the right wine...

[paulvmontfort 617]

hmm, maybe I should try wine as well, maybe then I could bring up some more patience

[T Wrecks 10,210]

hmm, maybe I should try wine as well, maybe then I could bring up some more patience

Maybe more creativity as well? Anyway, if those wines are as elaborate and awesome as the BATs, they ought to be good.

Yes, bottles up and long life to Simtrop!
