So I did a re-render. Even changed the color of night windows, tell me your thoughts!

I darkened the flagstone a bit, so its less bright. I'm willing to do more renders to make this better so give me some feedback!

[Edit] How do I post images correctly?

[vester_DK 477]

Looks pretty good bixel.

Try adding a slash before IMG in the ending tag, just like in html.

@bixel: I think it's best if we rerender all the buildings with the nightlightning problem and release the models in one single pack. You can use the same models as before and just put the new fsh's in them so nothing else has to be changed. The models will just overwrite the old ones and the problem will be fixed and people wouldn't have to download several new updates and they will actually notice there's an update which isn't the case if you update the excisting files already on STEX.

I think that would be a good idea. But if you do this, do we need to have downloaded the earlier versions?

[bixel 1,228]

As by request I added a park to middle section of the Arch, give me your thoughts!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

It sucks as usual when you build something. Why don't you just give it up?

LOL, just kidding, of course. It's great! HONG KONG's suggestions was really correct; that part of the building needed something, and you managed to find something that looks nice, although I might never get really used to that 2D/3D mixed look. I'm just wondering if you would find a glass roof that covers mostly grass and flora in real life. Besides, can only the folks who live in the right part of the building access this terrace?

EDIT

Hey, I just noticed I am now a sh*tty clicker... uh, a city slicker, I mean.

[bixel 1,228]

Actually there is nothing in that that is 2D! T have you been drinkin? heheh

[paulvmontfort 617]

I have an update too, although small:

[Fantail 0]

Looks great so far Paul, is is supposed to be so reflective? Or is it just the background.

[jesselong 0]

Thanks for the Central Plaza...  That's really rocks.

Paulvmontfort: What's the building you're making right now? But I'm sure that it's a Hong Kong style building. Go on with your precise work.

[Fantail 0]

Centra Plaza is finished?

[Woko 2]

Yes, and the building is on STEX too.  This is the link

[skyscraper 216]

I Have a new project..Cheung Kong Center....There will soon be first pictrues

[ramvid01 0]

wow you guys are doing an amazing job with the hong kong 'tileset' youve created. I can't wait to see what building is next on the list. Keep up the great work.

[bixel 1,228]

Heres the official site to the IFC Center and buildings, check out the view from the 2IFC!! Incredible. Neat pivot camera action to see.

[bixel 1,228]

Feel the love!

I decided to try and do the Sun Hung Kai Center myself...roof still needs work and Foundation is not even close to finished.





tell me what you think!

[HONG KONG 74]

bixel:The Sun Hung Kai Centre is perfectly made so far. Thus none improvement suggestion for this The roof garden of the "Arch" fit really very well, only the small glass roof over the green area .....hmmm (like T Wrecks already said).

Do you work on the HK TowerPack 3 ?

paul:Thank you again for the outstanding work "Central Plaza". Did you add the entrance of the Centre? Why you don't make a model of the entrance, in order to insert it later as a prop.

[bixel 1,228]

ok sounds good. Small glass gone, now to do the roof the Arch..

[paulvmontfort 617]

@ HONG KONG: I don't have very much time to do things for the comming 3 weeks. So I might look into it. I'll make a fictional entrance that fits underneath the tower though because the lot has already been designed.

@ bixel: You still have to send me the new models of the Centre and I just remembered that you also rendered Jardine House, so if you could render that one too, that would be great.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

As for the entrance of the Centre, it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of all objects in the inner 3x3 squares, which should leave ample space for a nice entrance area. I had already wondered if people get sucked into the building like into a flying saucer by some eerie light beam. I mean, HK sure has modern architecture, but that modern...? Then again, that building looks suspiciously like a rocket...

[Saint Andrew 6]

Good work HK BAT Team!!! I love Hong Kong architecture thus I love your buildings! Way 2 Go!

[jesselong 0]

I love that great work but you can do some improvements on the colour of the roof of the base. That yellow colour looks too shiny, isn't it? Keep it up!

[bixel 1,228]

Arch is done. 1 more render @ 45% so sun hits squarely on the building and its off to T Wrecks for modding. 45% render may not have park included in order to limit size of LOT. Normal is about 6x6. Prolly tomorrow, then about a week of modding and testing from T, and then uploaded. Cheers!!!!

[jesselong 0]

Congratulations to the Arch -- you've made it! I can't wait for the testing results...

[paulvmontfort 617]
