Reddonquixote's BAT thread

Thanks Noah

 

Here's some work I've been doing on the second section of the Yarra River. This section has the Melbourne Aquarium. Still needs a bit of work but thought I'd post something anyway.

 

 

 

 

Let me know what you think

Looks great Red. I am so excited about the Yarra River project ...

can't wait to dl. Thanks for the update! Your work keeps me logging on daily.

[__A 792]

Omg!!!! That's so cool reddon! Will you be making custom viaducts and the Banana Alley Vaults for the rail lines too?

[elavery 1,013]

The Yarra river project looks amazing, but also very specific. Do you plan on also breaking it down into components such as walls, water, etc?

[MilitantRadical 2,844]

The yarra river project makes my mind spin with possibilities.

[Terring 6,473]

That looks interesting

[Xander Dax 310]

Looks Amazing Red!, eagerly waiting to dl.

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Pretty insane batting whole sections of a river front but an interesting project nonetheless.

[weixc812 509]

Can't wait to see the whole yarra river project pieces. Such a beautiful river!

[Harry's Place 918]

amazing!!!!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great work, I can't wait the next update buddy

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Maybe you can upload the river side building separately  too?

[younghappy 308]

These are great, but I've made my block sizes in my Melbourne city 15x16 instead of 14x6 so I probably can't fit these pieces in my city

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Thanks everyone

 

Here's another quick update. I think I've hit on the right colour/saturation for the grass, I'll try this same material on the State Library lawns and hopefully that will fix that problem.

 

_A - I don't know how to make viaducts (functional ones). I will probably make the Banana Alley vaults though, I was thinking using a technique like Bipin used on his under-road-shops.

Elavery, no, will just be the river as-is. Limits use, I know, but that's what I'm doing . Some stuff may get released as part of a prop pack though.

Ln X - why insane? lol.

Younghappy, not sure what you mean, nothing I've made is bigger than those lot sizes... should fit easily.

 

Here's half of the southern bank in this section completed. Let me know what you think so far

 

[Xander Dax 310]

BEAUTIFUL Red!

[tonyr 926]

I love your attention to detail. It's simply stunning!

[__A 792]

Yeah I suppose doing the whole viaduct would be tricky but looking forward to the Banana Alley vaults! That looks really nice btw

[SimCoug 5,973]

A prop pack would be great!

Awesome progress.

[Harry's Place 918]

man this is state of art. you should release it as a canal set, it looks to good to not be released....

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Thanks guys

 

Don't worry Constanta, it will be definitely released. All I meant was it won't be modular. All you will be able to make is the Yarra River . Although I have seen people do some pretty creative and clever things with BATs before.

 

Here's the second piece finished now. I've added in a prototype of the casino complex, mainly for the reflections. While the casino is on my list, its still a ways off yet, so don't get too excited by it (Xander, I'm talking to you )

 

 

 

..and just for a bit of fun, some eye-level renders of the aquarium

 

 

 

Enjoy

[__A 792]

Well that has blown me away. Those eye level shots are darn realistic, just missing a very congested Kingsway

[Harry's Place 918]

wow you've just took sc4 to a new level. amazing

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Wonderful work a always, I love what you are doing, keep up the good work.

[Ferrt 102]

Wow! I have no words! It's amazing 

[tonyr 926]

One of the greatest BATers of all time.Outstanding!

Who me Red? excited about the Casino? :party: .

The canal looks Amazing Red.

[DamienMB 58]

it won't be modular.

 

Fair enough though, you put an extraordinary amount of work into your projects already.

[Roger51 381]

Ahhh water and SC4, interesting challenge since you chose the Yarra to do!! Really difficult to get the reflection and water roughness to get right.

Looks amazing so far, and keep working on it, I think the water could use a slight hint of brown in it, bit too blue/green atm.

 

A note to add about the bridges, will Kings Way be at 7.5m ave for the game? or just going to be there for show when the crown complex is added?

[Darknono35 3,138]

Awesome work as always

I like your water texture, it´s perfect

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Hmmm.... not sure what you mean...

 

The river sections are each separate lots, so you can place them as wide apart as you want and lay any width of road piece in between to make the bridges. With Kings Way, I'm thinking it should be a Highway, but I'd need to test it out to see how it would look in practice. From memory, the avenue to highway transitions are pretty steep aren't they, so that might not look too good... otherwise I'd be recommending an avenue, but it depends on the city layout really.

 

As for the casino, I'm anticipating the lot will be transit enabled to allow roads (or highway or avenue) to drag through it. Does that answer your question Roger?

 

Thanks for nice comments everyone
