Darknono35 US Buildings Thread

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hi all.

Thanks for the BoA, but I've a problem with it, I can't open the building and his backup I hope it's only an memory problem...

 

I present you an other project, this small tower: Do you known this building ?

 

[libellibicus 396]

I don't know what building it is, but it looks mighty fine.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Of course I know it! It's that sexy little BAT from I-don't-care-where that will be heading straight for my plugins folder, that's what it is. I don't need to know more.

 

Seriously, the roof and the wall textures are STEXy as heck, and it looks to me like the top of the triangular base will get a gardening treatment, eh? I also like the size of the building, it either makes for a good downtown filler or for a central element in the CBD of a smaller city.

[Bastet69008 1,102]

Richmond, VA ? Looking fine!!

[dubaidude303 1,126]

Humm i've seen that building somewhere!!! It's a great looking building, can't wait for it! 

[Darknono35 3,138]

libellibicus: Thanks like always

T-Wrecks: Thanks for your comment on the roof textures, I've particulary worked this one

Bastet69008: Thanks and Congratulation you've located this buildingduba in the CBD of Richmond, VA !!

dubaidude303: Thanks

 

Other updated soon

I'm sorry to hear about the Bank of America, that was a beauty.....but this new building is fantastic: a great size and with a lot of really interesting details already. Plus the unusual entrance design will make it a hit  

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Yeah, very sad to hear. But hey, this will be a nice building as well, hugh?

 

However, to me the dirt on the walls and the stairs is way to visible. Also, the grass looks yet very green ... too grenn imho. 

 

But I know about this building being in a very early stage and, as I know you, you will call it far from being finished. 

 

Good luck on both this one and the hopefully not forever lost Bank of America Buidling

Thanks for support, I'm totaly disapointed for the BoA, today I've open the file correctly but 3dsmax has a bug after several minutes, I think its due to the number of trees

Here an small update for the SunTrust building of Richmond. I've add trees and bushes, flag and the small sculpture on the plaza. I've fixed the great windows on the street side and for the entrances

Now I'm working on the grass, I'll added some yellow to burn the grass and dirt too

 

 

[libellibicus 396]

The reflections on the main entrance are outstanding.  Very nice indeed

[RepublicMaster 428]

Great building! Shame about the BoA.

[Jasoncw 11,949]

I think you should make it so that the panel lines line up with the windows the way they're supposed to. 

[dubaidude303 1,126]

Looking good!

[Reddonquixote 4,339]

What a shame about BOA, those were my favourite nightlights of any BAT ever! Have you tried importing the model into another session (maybe without the trees) to see if you can rescue it?

 

Loving this new building, the reflections on the glass entrance are really nice, but I especially love the sliver metal texture its just perfect!

[weixc812 509]

Still pray for BOA...while this new project makes me forget the worry

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I agree with Jason. Also, I wonder the people are supposed to get into the building since it looks like there were no doors on the "Main Entrance" (I'm talking about the entrance the stairs lead to). However, doors are the most important part about entrances

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hi guys ! Today its a good news, I re-opened the BoA with succesfully WOWOWOW !! and I finalise the work to exported this model soon , but with the memory problem I can't add other stuff on the plaza, with that, I'm afraid to loose this skyscraper forever

Here an perspective view of this building come back from the deep

 

[dubaidude303 1,126]

(falls out of chair)  ....It's back!! Hooray!   Great to see this again!

[Darknono35 3,138]

An other update for the SunTrust Builing in Richmond, VA . The glass reflections are corrected, the grass on the roof is better and I've added some bushes, but I think in the real building is without bushes.

The entrance for the Hall was been added on the front and on the two sides.

 

Now I'm working on the tiles, to align them to the windows

 

Thanks for your support guys, it's very important

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Wow, the grass is your best yet! I really dig the building.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Maybe a little tut on you glass???

 

Pretty glad to hear BoA is finally back. Just make sure to do 10 backups now so this will never happen again D:

 

Perspective View is pretty great. 

 

For the stairs of SunTrust I would still say you should reduce the strength of the dirt as it looks pretty strong since the stairs are quite steep.

[Magneto 316]

Un véritable chef d'oeuvre!! Your textures are amazing Darknono. Good job man

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great building and the grass is one point, but for the bushes again it's not looking right, please not forget the trees has to look good.

[libellibicus 396]

The grass is excellent.  How about some Handrails on the stairs?

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks a lot all . The Suntrust need many work again, handrails was already done and the textures for bushes fixed.

 

Hey guys, today I've trying the BoA Center of LA in-game. At this moment, we need to plop the building on a uneven ground for used this one correctly, and the ground, need an heavy terraforming to adjust the street level like it's in real life.

This is not a good new for who has already built her downtown , you'll need to transform your city like an huge work-site

 

If someone know to work with foundation, your help is welcome 

 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Well, for on-slope buildings, there is only so much you can do. Players will have to terraform around the building to make the lower part visible, no way around that. The benefit in using a foundation for the lower part is that the building can also be used on level ground so that the plaza appears to be on ground level. IMO, that's better than having the building sit on that huge, massive castle of a base if you use it on level ground.

 

For those who absolutely want the base like in real life, a landmark / ploppable with jobs will be best, whereas those who prefer to grow all their buildings will not get a building that looks totally out of place; they can simply leave the plaza as is and ignore the below-ground part without the building looking stupid.

 

Nonetheless, I guess a "BoA redux" with only the main tower on a lotted ground would find its takers, too.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I wonder if it is if you're having a raised terrain and you plop or build it there is it possible that the building is built normally but with a kind of base that is modelled as well?

 

lol, I guess no one understood what I was trying to explain.

[Darknono35 3,138]

If I've understood, you prefered the building without the underground parkings ?

But I've never try to export the building with the parking in the same part, but under the ground level... What do think  about that ?

 

Update for the Suntrust Building

[libellibicus 396]

Sun Trust is fantastic.  Your best BAT so far, IMO.  Your roofs are exceptional.

[simlink 1,098]

Spectacular, the glass is amazing. The roof textures are as well, very detailed. Great work!
