Chicago BAT Project

[darn42 1,268]

Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm going to see what T Wrecks comes up with for the new lot or talk to him about it first before I do another export with a different scale.

Tribune tower is released!! :D

Enjoy everybody, and thanks so much

[Sgt Pepper 864]

That's a shocker...that it's all ready released! Woo! Congrats on getting it done! I can't wait to see.

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Congrats on the Chicago BAT Project's first release, I hope to see many more.

[JayStimson 211]

Congrats on the release. It is now one of the standards for quality.

I can only imagine how many hours went into this great creation. Kudos.

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Heh, so I was right about the scale it seems. Good job to all that have worked on Tribune

Carbon and Carbide Building?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Thanks for sharing this. Looks nice and I'm guessing darn will be interested in it. It will be added to the whish list.

Feel free to post more requests.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Looks nice!

Btw, the one behind it somehow made me fantasize about an Aaron Graham CBT "guest BAT"... nice daydream.

[zimmie 521]

I'd love to see any of the Board of Trade, Central Office and Wrigley Buildings. Any plans for any of these?

[darn42 1,268]

Carbon and Carbide looks like a fine building that I would definitely do, right now, my plan of action is going to be harold washington library then The Rookery. So don't expect it for another several months unless someone else decides to pick it up.

Zimmie, I would prefer if you post pictures when you request a BAT so that I and others don't have to look up the building you are talking about. Also, if you are wondering about requests look at the front page for the ones we have planned. Wrigley is already up there. I'm not sure what central office looks like, but board of trade is a fine building and I would definitely do it eventually.

The Carbon And Carbide Building, Maxis made a "copy" of it pretty much with Cameron Cameras. Except they gave it a different top, and I think its thicker.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I think the Rookery has already been made by JBSimio, it can be found on SC4D (if that's the one). However, I guess a second take at it with 3dsmax cannot hurt.

[SimCoug 5,972]

Well, since it seems to be a chance for adding requests, I'd like to submit Wrigley Field (surprised it hasn't been added yet).

Here's a pretty good photo (big too)

I think SC4 is seriously lacking in older style ballparks such as Wrigley. Many of them are long gone now (Comiskey Park, Tiger Stadium, etc) - thankfully Wrigley is still around. Anyway, ball parks like this would work well in a modern city, as well as cities set in an older era. Thanks for taking my request.

Could you do O'Hare International Airport? I know it would be quite an undertaking because of its massive size and the fact that I-190 and the Blue Line actually enter the airport (both from the east), but it would look awesome.

I don't happen to have a picture, but I'm sure you know what airport I'm talking about.

[Kevenbro 94]

SimCoug: I would also like to request Wrigley field. A new baseball stadium would be awesome!

[cjwillis96 318]

I'm with Kevenbro and SimCoug, Wrigley field would be great.

[Kifflom112 355]

Carbon and Carbide Building?

I'd love to see that.

[joe55 27]

Wrigley field!

[darn42 1,268]

Wrigley field would be a great thing to BAT. It would be quite lengthy of a process to do well, but I'm sure I or someone else would be up to it.\

Ohare international airport is a definite no. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I am not going to spending two years BATing out a medium sc4 tile... Please guys, if you are going to make suggestions, make them a bit more reasonable :|

[goody38 3]

Wrigley field looks really cool. I love those old stadiums, I would like to request that to.

[SimCoug 5,972]

Thanks darn! As for the airport, there is a huge amount of custom modular airport BATs, so with a little searching, creating an airport similar to ohare is probably already doable.

I just wondered because I find the Maxis airports to be quite unrealistic because none of them have transit networks that actually enter the airport, and none of the airports that I've ever seen in real life (even small airports) have functioned this way.

Please forgive me for not having checked what was already on the STEX. It seems there is quite a selection of custom content related to aviation already there (even custom planes!).

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

Wrigley Field would be a great project for you guys to do, you should go for it.

The Intercontinental Hotel? Formerly the Medinah Athletic Club. It is probably one of the most Ignored post war skyscrapers in Chicago and one of my favorites.

Lake Point Tower literally stands alone, east of senic Lake Shore Drive and surrounded by Lake Michigan on three sides. No other residence offers such unobstructed views of Chicago's storied skyline and the ever-changing waters of the deepest of the Great Lakes. What do you think?

that would be a nice addition, fits most tilesets and city styles

[Marksman89 0]

I think Wrigley field would be awesome.

[zakuten 8]

I know O'Hare itself has been shot down, but terminals 2 or 5 might be interesting, especially if you convert the people-mover station in 5 into a elevated or monorail transit-enabled. But, of course, we're already far ahead of ourselves.

[gutterclub 2,729]

Just a thought but it might be worth setting up 2 CBT threads, one for projects and one for requests. This is already at 13 pages for one release, can see it filling up with pages and pages of requests and that will make it harder to find any progress posts and to of course comment on them. Just a thought of course, none of my business really
