Reddonquixote's BAT thread

[Xander Dax 310]

Wow looks great mate, can't wait to see what's next!

[Roger51 381]

Thanks Red, you're the best               

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Well didn't have a very good day.. I just finished completing the northern bank this morning and I walked away from my computer and when I came back all the windows had closed themselves, and the BAT became unrecoverable.. AND I didn't have a backup ...

 

I had to start again, but this time with the experience from the last one I've got through it pretty quickly, but the model is much more cohesive and makes a lot more sense so in a way it's better. I still need to work on the textures but I'm pretty close to back where I was this morning... I think I need to remake the river cruiser, re-texture the Sandridge bridge and finish off the Princes Bridge end, which is just grass and trees really, then I can start on the southern bank. I also have backups this time !

No backup! I hate when that happens. I'm Glad you're back on track now. Interesting changes with the river project,I can't wait to see where you end up.

 

Thanks for the update!

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Looking great!

Wonderful upload on STEX, thank you

For a second, when i saw the palms and wooden board walk, i thought it was real

Shame about having to do it over again but that was quick and impressive as always. Will you be adding the Elizabeth St underpass for FSS?

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Taking a break from the river, thought I'd go for a quick win. I've had a few requests for this one.

 

Crown Metropol:

 

 

 

 

 

A_, short answer is yes. Depends what you mean though. All it will be is an entrance into the wall, it won't be functional or anything

[tonyr 926]

Beautiful,as always. I enjoy watching your work from start to finish.Thanks for the update Red.

[SimCoug 5,973]

You are always very productive with your breaks

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Wonderful job!

It reminds me Copan Building by Oscar Niemeyer, in Sao Paulo, but yours is modern of course.

[__A 792]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Can't describe my thoughts :3

 

And thanks for the info, eyecandy is fine!

[weixc812 509]

Great work as always, Reddon!! Not sure if you've seen my PM though.

[Xander Dax 310]

Looks very swish Red

[scotty222 549]

Looks excellent mate 

I do think the ground plane needs a little work, those roads looks huge at the moment.

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Yeah, its interesting... it's not a ground plane per se, its actual modeled roads. Thinking about what you said though, the roads are scaled correctly but the textures aren't now I think about it. Its actually a double carriage way with a tram line down the middle. I've just textured it as a single road way so that's why it looks so big. Thanks for pointing it out

 

Shriefer, I definitely see the resemblance! I wonder if the design was used as a base...

 

Thanks everyone else for your comments

[Roger51 381]

Looking good red, I would also add that the reflections are a little strong and vivid, needs a bit more blur

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Here's another quick one to finish off the weekend.

 

PWC Tower:

 

 

 

 

[noahclem 262]

Very promising new models; I particularly like the Crown Metropol! If you're wanting to make a tram-in-avenue as part of it you'd be more than welcome to use my textures for it.

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Amazing building!

Great job!

[Xander Dax 310]

Oooh nice!, PWC is one of the ones i have been eagerly awaiting

[InCommandOfCars 22]

Oh my good gracious god. You are doing some amazing stuff!
I absolutely love putting all your creations in my cities

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I haven't made a thorough cross-check against photo reference of the original buildings, but there's one tiny detail about Crown Metropol that caught my eye: The flags on the flagpole look blatantly copied and pasted and seem to be identical in all but their colour.

 

If I had to pick out anything else, I'd say that the white / light grey texture for that recess with the three support columns below the tech penthouse still looks a bit like solid-coloured geometry to me - maybe the material could be brought out a bit clearer? That's whining on a very, very high level, though. I'd gladly take the building as is.

 

All in all, you continue to make jaws all around drop to the floor! Keep 'em coming!

[urielgarcia 344]

Absolutely amazing work on the PWC and Crown Metropol buildings.  Australia has some wonderful buildings.  Got to visit, got to....putting you guys on my bucket list...

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Too much awesomeness to handle. Must self destruct.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

So, after a break I'm back with following you thread. Seems to be some hard building you got there. That glass must be very tricky. To be honest, I don't like the look of the windows of the two last building. Try experimenting with your ground map. Manipulate it in GIMP, PS or whatever you use and add some more noise the the map itself. I hope it will be worth it. 

[earthbuilder 4]

Amazing model! May I ask how you get so much quality out of reflections? Do you render the building or something? And what programmes do you use?  

[tonyr 926]

Looks great Red.

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Hi sir. Because of your professional experience and good BAT skills I've decided that it would be fitting for you to make this project.

 

It's a design proposal to make a tall residential skyscrapers, and on top of them a large community park. The glass panels are very reflective.

 

This futuristic City in the Sky by Hrama imagines a world where gardens and oases soar far above the congestion and pollution that at times mars magnificent cities such as London and New York. Situated far above the traffic and grit of the city, the stratospheric urban parks are inspired by biomimicry and anchored by enormous towers in the shape of the symbol of purity and cleanliness, the lotus flower.

Someone else's BAT thread is not an appropriate place to make such requests.

 

Crown Metropol is amazing, and I am eager to see PWC's base take shape.
