Hi people!

Ok, sorry for don't being active as much as i want but lately i've been busy with other staff.

The fact is that i would like to produce more bats to christmas but i'm troubles with 3dsmax 2017 license wich expires in 2 days. Please,

look and tell me if we were not able to produce more bats with BAT4max considering that 3dsmax 2017 is the last compatible version.

There is any posible solution or help? @mattb325, @Jasoncw, @IDS2, @Diego Del Llano, @kellydale2003, @on001222, @Barroco Hispano

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not familiar with this model. Where did you find it?

Ye Olde "Can't Find it Shoppe". I was gonna pack it away and use it in some future project(reminds me of the space ship in Day the World Stood Still), but by the time I got to Milwaukee, I still hadn't found a substitute for that arena.

Sadly not at this time, unless someone is able to update the BAT4Max scripts such that they work with the new renderer/versions, there is no free option to use 3DS Max for SC4 any more.

Sadly, maybe its becoming the beginning of the end in HQ bats production.

I was under the impression @Jasoncw had developed potential solutions, so all hope is not lost yet. We'll see what he says.

Color can be improved. Do you think the color distribution is good?

After all those residentials, some S3D commercial parades for sims to do their shopping.

More coming!

 

Loving your work on these British suburbs, more of it!

Working on Muscrow, some tall residentials spaced with plazas and trees. GLR connections to make it all work.

Yeah sorry guys I haven't worked on the BAT4Max update stuff in a while. It's one of those things that's complicated and involved, and so I really need to block out a lot of time in order to work on it (it's not something that I can just work on a little bit at a time). But I still want to do it, not just to keep BATing accessible to everyone, but also because for myself I think it has the potential to make better BATs.

Slowly getting there.

Yo, guys --

We're still working on the new CJ installment on "The Imperial Dockyards: Cuxhaven", but it is a long process and I sometimes find myself with time on my hands.  That, however, has allowed me to go ahead with work on the third installment of the series -- "Imperial Dockyards: Bremerhaven"......  (If you're working in SC4 and you "have time on your hands" -- you're not doing it right! )

Bremerhaven will include the Weser River right through the middle of the map -- so @AP and I are working a lot in "diagonals" -- and I have had to create new landscape/terrain features for the river.  In the pictures below, you see the dredged area of the main shipping channel with "mud flats" along both banks.  It took some time to work out what a "mud flat" should look like, but I think I've hit on a scheme.  The dredged channel naturally dictated that there would be channel buoys, and AP suggested we even go for the navigation beacons used to keep ships centered in the channel.  Here you see a channel coming in from the northwest, crossing over to the east, then continuing on to the southeast.  So, you might say it is something of an "intersection".  (I have not yet put in the channel buoys -- figured I needed a break -- but they will be there.) 

The second picture shows a close-up of the navigation structures and offshore navigation towers, as well as the beginning of the mud flats along the west side of the river.

1382_Weser Navigation 02

This is a "classic" example of how a "bright idea" turns into the creation of an entire system showing how river navigation actually works.  We have, of course, had to shrink it down to fit on an SC4 map.

Wow.  What are the tall residentials?  I love them.

It's really awesome! The best part of these the zillions of shop fronts. Are these separate props every building is uneque with its shopfront? If one could render/export a bunch of shopfronts like these (similiar to the original maxis shop front props) in BAT/sc4model format, that would be awesomly useful for lotters. 
Anyhow you've done a really great work on these!

Looking good. A ground leaf mmp would be awesome. Nobody has ever made one.

Allen-Bradley factory, now a Rockwell machines subsidiary. Well known for it's clock tower, but since it's Rockwell, I added another one for balance.

I would love an update to those original shop front prop families. As a lotter that would really jazz up my commercials
