Wonderful models *-*

[SimCoug 5,976]

I'm really anticipating the bank of Hollywood! Great progress.

[Ferrt 102]

Wonderful BATs, great work as always!

[Harry's Place 918]

stunning both oh them

[Vlasky 1,803]

Gorgeous!

But, for your Community tower, I would advise a bit more intense light. It seems to low now.

Great job!

[edwardjeria 503]

oooooooo 

is amazing

[scotty222 549]

Excellent Stuff 

I agree with Vlasky regarding the windows, you can barely tell which sections are lit up at the moment.

Super anxious for the community tower now. The soft interior lighting is amazing!

[weixc812 509]

Oh darknono, I'd say the model of Community Tower is great.

But forgive me, I'm strongly against this way of nightlighting, either. Take 605 Third Avenue for example, the building looks awful at night and is so out of line with other skyscrapers. This nightlighting method, though may reflect reality better, is quite unsuitable for SC4 night environment. Its contrast level is low and the whole building looks messy. Hope you could consider it...

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hello everyone, thanks for comments

An other picture of the Community Tower, with nightlight level more higher than the first picture. Inside the building, I've add plasterboard and several blinds to add more variations between floors

 

@Weixc812: This is an new technic of lighting, I'd need some time to improved this method of work. Remember my first buildings and nightlight was awful too .

[Reddonquixote 4,339]

I hope you do perfect this technique, I'm currently not a fan of this style of lighting either... although its far from awful. It actually looks quite good up close, it just doesn't have enough vibrancy to make it look realistic from a distance, and I'm dubious you can increase the intensity and still make it look good. At the moment it has the look of an office window if you were looking at it from nearby, say a building across the street, but I don't think anyone has found a way using this technique so that it also translates to the glow of a highrise window when seen from a distance.

 

Darknono, at least your windows look like they have glass in them. Some versions of interior lighting I've seen looks like the glass is missing.

 

I do love the base though

[edwardjeria 503]

good my friend

the nightlight is beutifull

[__A 792]

Love the structure of this building, nice lighting too!

[Swiminn6 10]

First time posting here!

 

I am so glad you are working on BAT's again because there are too few people making quality BAT's! I really like how the night lighting of the community tower is coming out, especially the blue lighting at the top!!

 

I cannot wait for the Comcast Center, it looks amazing and it is going to look great in my city!

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks guys for your comments and your support

 

I'm sorry because I haven't post here since some days, I was busy

So, I've begun another BAT this week, the model is completed at 75%, maybe someone can recognize this one

I haven't not yet work on the Comcast and First National Bank of Hollywood

 

 

Here a picture of the Community Tower in-game. I've a problem with the shadows , I'm working on to fix that bug.

[Mr Saturn64 742]

Judging by the lettering, I'm guessing it's the KPMC Building.

 

Looks good, by the way.

[Xander Dax 310]

Actually i think that's KPMG Building not KPMC.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Wonderful work on the building, I hope to see you fix the shadow problem. Maybe you need to change the size of the LOD. That's one thing I would try.

[Darknono35 3,138]

Hi guys, thanks for your post

 

Here an small update of the Equitable Building from St Louis . Now I'm working with 3dsmax 2013

I hope you'll like this first result. The texturing isn't not yet ended

 

 

Enjoyed !!

[Swiminn6 10]

Beautiful!!! Love the color of the glass, what will the size be?

 

I suggest changing the color of the community building base diagonal beams to a black or dark blue, I just don't really like the red color. But I am loving it!

[edwardjeria 503]

Is azome my friend, a like reflecion for glass is amazing

[Ferrt 102]

Nice building, you're a great BATer!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Wow, that's truly Jasonesque quality!

[tonyr 926]

Love the Equitable Bld. The color ,the reflections and the detail are outstanding.Beautiful BATing!

[dubaidude303 1,126]

Amazing!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

IT's a beautiful model, but in my opinion, the glass looks a bit too green compared to images of the real life building. Try to go for a more "bluish" approach if it's possible. Also, I know it's not the highest priority, and that you'll get to it at some point, but the concrete would do good if it looked just a little bit dirtier. 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Thanks all, the Equitable building is mainly ended but I need to do and improve the textures for the plaza, and the roof

Since the last day, I've add some dirt on the roof, and change the glass color...

What did you think about the new color of the windows ?

 

 

 

I hope you'll like this new version

[Jack_wilds 550]

luv how it came together... it looks better over all...

[tonyr 926]

Looks delicious!

[SimCoug 5,976]

Great textures!
