Ah, you're underestimating us! After all, S3D modelling is the real nightmare!

One Canada Square

1. I'm confused... This is what the building looks like with real-world dimensions at zoom 4:

2. Here's what it looks like with real-world dimensions on the X and Y axis and 133% on the Z axis:

 

3. Here's what it looks like with the 133% scale on X, Y & Z axis:

As always, nothing I have was modeled with SimCity 4 dimensions in mind, they are simply models with realistic dimensions that I want to reuse in SimCity 4.. Which one should I choose for this building? 1 & 2 have a 5x6 footprint in the game, the third has a 6x8 footprint (People are used to small buildings and overscaled props so it would look disproportionately large with the rest of the BAT's xD).

 

 

To me #2 looks best-suited for the SC4 environment out of these three. I think a lot of people scale only the Z axis by 133%, I know I almost always use real-world X and Y dimensions and then have each story be about 4~5 meters (bc can't estimate height on Google Maps etc) and the resulting buildings seem to line up reasonably well with other people's.

Agree, #2 would be best. Nice choice of building and cool to see you doing a modern skyscraper

Indeed! As we know, increasing the height by 33% is meant to counterbalance the high pitch of the standard game camera. 4-5 meters per floor is what I do too.

Z axis = 133%

X Y Z = Real- World/133% scale.

 

 

I guess the best way to say is seeing it in context, in the game. Otherwise it's quite hard to get an idea of its relative size.

I've updated my "Monuments DLC". I'll be making lots for 3 of the new monuments in the next few days. 

Thanks guys for your feedback regarding the skyscraper. I will export option 2 for everyone and 3 for personal use. Now the problem is that BAT4MAX won't let me export it.

A corner office for wide curves or roundabouts:

[Barroco Hispano 26,932]

The building is quite low poly and relies on a diffuse texture so don't expect a beautiful glass material xD (If you use 3dsmax and want to make a much more detailed version, send me a DM and I will send you the 3d file).

Difference between option 3 and 2 (2 is the one I will release, 3 is for my personal use).

The building is so big that BAT4MAX wouldn't let me export the whole thing so I had to split it into 2. The downside is that at the farther zooms, you see distortion in the crop area.

This was just going to be a small little apartment building, I'm not sure how it ended up taking all day...

I upgraded my RCI DLL Query to incorporate @Null 45's new variables that show the Actual Jobs in a building, as well as Travel Jobs for industrial lots.  Now people can really tell how many low-wealth employees work at each building, for instance.

I've also updated the styles available, with a new bold Horizontal style, a slightly smaller but slightly wider bold Vertical style, and legacy choices as well.  

Tooltips explain the Census Drives for Actual Jobs, both for vanilla games as well as CAM games.  (PS: @Ulisse Wolf if these change in CAM 2.5 please let me know).

Yes, please, I think we need more taverns and buildings with outdoor seating in general. This one is also gorgeous.

These types of diag-ortho corner pubs are so frequent in the UK. There is one near to me in Henley. It would be great to see more variety of these buildigns... Then it would be awesome if someone picked up the project of turning them into BATs... Where are you @Raymond7cn????

Unless you are a purist, trust me S3Ds can get along well with BATs. I use them together all the time. Anyway, the current project is a pack of commercial corners all with some diagonal side or odd shape. Stay tuned!

Maxis implemented the regional transport view as a custom data view, the underground mode for pipes and subways are implemented in a similar manner.

For this screenshot, I replaced the mayor rating data view exemplar with the regional transport data view exemplar. For reference, here are the relevant data view exemplar TGIs:

0x6534284A, 0x690F693F, 0x4A0B68F0 - Pipe tool
0x6534284A, 0x690F693F, 0x4A0B68F1 - Subway tool
0x6534284A, 0x690F693F, 0x4A0B68F2 - Subway building tool
0x6534284A, 0x690F693F, 0x4A0B68F3 - Regional transport

The regional transport colors are controlled by another data view exemplar, TGI 0x6534284A, 0x690F693F, 0x0B9EC13D.

While wandering around the internet I came across a pic of a small building on pinterest. I liked the building so I made this. It's a 1x2 so it'll probably be a 1x3 lot to provide parking and whatnot. It's at about the 50% mark.
