Reddonquixote's BAT thread

Lookin good there Red

[jmsepe 2,038]

Great! I might as well prepare a land for this. Superb creation. 

[MariusMR 124]

Looking great!

Brisbane or Melbourne? I mean the in Melbourne. (The BAT I'm currently working on)

 

Ack, specify these things!

 

The garden is coming along splendidly. I'd recommend lightening it.

 

If you're looking for standalones, the Brisbane Square is a really odd one. Base is a bit distinctive though.

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

 

Yeah.. I think you're right, its all looking a bit dark and over-saturated

 

[__A 792]

Looks pretty accurate, all we need now is protesters 

[weixc812 509]

unique, splendid and beautiful

[unclesahm 32]

Your crown jewel!! It's amazing. How big is the lot?

[Ferrt 102]

One of the greatest BATs!

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Wow, the textures are awesome!

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Thank you all

 

I've made a couple of changes, but I won't post another shot -

 

• I've desaturated the grass. Its still nice and lush green but not so bright and saturated as it was.
• I separated the window arches and applied the texture separately. The grooves in the bricks were intersecting at the wrong height.
• I've changed the banners, they are now black, sheer like silk, with Japanese motifs on them. I think it looks a bit classier
• I rotated one of the trees, you could tell they were identical before.
• You won't able to see but I added a front door. I forgot before!
• I've added some roof join flashing onto the small square turret roof to match the other roofs.

 

I think that's it for now. I'll just keep going with the other sections. I might come back and revisit the paving in the gardens, its still a bit dark and saturated but its hard to make dark pavers without it being the saturated colour.

 

Oh, the lot size will be 6x13 (Big!)

[Darknono35 3,137]

Awesome work here, as always

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Thanks

 

I've been a bit busy this week but I've managed to finish the Russell Street entrance. Let me know what you think

 

[dubaidude303 1,119]

Looks awesome!

Looks awesome!

[Darknono35 3,137]

I think it's beautiful so far

But roof and wall textures, should be improved, but I know you'll fix that details

Keep it up !!

[Huston 5,798]

Looks great! No doubt this'll be a BAT to behold later on

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Thanks guys

With the roof, yes totally agree. It's just a placeholder really until I put all the roofs together and I'll do them all again and make them more cohesive.

With the walls though, that was pretty much it, not sure what else I can do? On the centre building I could probably add a bit more colour variation into the bricks. Possibly some more grime onto those two corner annexes. Any other suggestions?

[Nirwanda 133]

If you're thinking about doing more Australian buildings and wanna stray from the East Coast, there is always Brookfeild place, Central Park and the Bankwest Tower over in Perth that'd make for some kickass BATting

 

 

Also, if you've figured it out, how big of a lot were you planning for the Infinity tower? Just so I can plan around it 3x3? 4x4?

 

Cheers Red!

I believe someone is already doing Brookfield Place, but the other two are up for grabs.

[Nirwanda 133]

Would you happen to know who? I'm really keen to see how theyre doing with it?

[weixc812 509]

Just break your curiosity there:

Brookfeild place

Central Park Tower

But these two BATers are not active recently..Thus there's no time table for the BATs to be released.

Not exactly, buddy. Central Park Tower is now on progress by scotty.

Thankyou so much!

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Yeah, I was actually helping AeonProjects with his glass but then he disappeared.. I must have scared him off

 

I figured I'd have a go at the one that's left then. Still needs a bit of work, especially on the glass, here's a sneak peak, but this all I have time for tonight

 

BankWest Tower:

 

Nirwanda, I think Infinity Tower will probably be 4x4, but I'm not really certain yet. BankWest tower is 4x4

[weixc812 509]

Great progress on BankWest Tower, reddon!

Alright, now three tallest buildings from Perth are all being made into BATs!

[PBGV103 729]

If you raise the minimum and maximum sampling per pixel to 4 and 64 respectively, it should get rid of some of the noise that's showing up on the wall in the shadow.

[Darknono35 3,137]

Great work so far on the Bank West Reddon, I'm fan

Keep it up

Didn't realize Central Park Tower was being done, that's awesome.

[Nirwanda 133]

Omg I just moved to Perth from Canberra and yeah I see these three buildings every day as I've had the good fortune to move into South Perth/Como. I can see them at night from my unit and yeah I've been yearning for them in BAT so thankyou so much! I've tried getting into batting myself but im having a bit of difficulty getting the programs to work with my computer setup

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Here's the glass finished... let me know what you think

 

PBGV - Thanks for that tip, I'm not sure if it helped very much though, should I increase it further? There's noise in the material maybe its actually the material rather than the sampling?

 

[Nirwanda 133]

 

Possibly a bit lighter? Although to be fair the accuracy of this google colour may be a tad off, but otherwise perfect! From my view at the base of the tower the glass is greener but as I think you or someone else has said in other places, it looks different from above.
