When I started my thread without picsd there came something like "this is pretty unnecessary who would start a tread if he has nothing to show"

[dubaidude303 1,125]

Yes! A picture would be nice   Can't wait to see your work on the Burj 

[thesantiagossj4 26]

¡¡¡Here i go!!!

 

 

There is a comparisson of WTC Complex, i think....

 

 

and here we got one high rise update.... time of construction of this update is 3 hours and 40 minutes and you got here...........

 

 

it still work in progress... time: 5 hours o:O  and...... i have a nightlight update.... i belive it looks not so cool the lights.... give your comments....

sorry for double post xD here te pic

I've a feeling that this BAT is gonna be a gargantuan project.  It''l take forever to texture it properly.  Best of luck (I think you're gonna need it....along with loads of patience).

[dubaidude303 1,125]

This is a big project.. Gonna take a lot of time for this amazing building.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Sky City would be a great project. I like the style and I like Changsha . And I like your update. However, I think that the building seem not to have the same shape as the original one, especially for the upper part of the Burj Khalifa.

[thesantiagossj4 26]

i agree with libellibicus, i must have extreme patience  what I want is to get some proper textures for the building, as some people have recommended to me but I can not look for some that stay with the building. ... Do you think that the windows of the building will add reflections? and I'll try to build upon (complete with tennis Square and all that .... but will have to wait a while.   it's lie don't worry and.... ¿whats up whit nakheel tower, i Improve or not? tell me us. and sorry for bad english.

[thesantiagossj4 26]

another update see here second update of nightlight

 

[darn42 1,268]

Don't do nightlights yet. Definitely not yet. This should be the last thing you do.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

darn is right, first make sure you modelled everything well and detailed anough, then you should start texturing. Just after all of this has been done you can start with night prewievs and with nite lites. To make texturing easier for you, you should name every single part of your buildings. That doesn't mean that your suppsed to name your windows "window 1, "window 2" and so on. That means you should name different parts of architecture like window glas, windows frames, walls and you should name wall which are going to have different textures with different name like stone wall, metal wall etc. It will make texturing waaaay easier, trust me!

Actually for your information the Burj Kafila Dubai was actually created and uploaded to STEX. So there is no need to "invent the wheel again"...  Maybe you can spend more time on other projects.

And? There are several buildings availabe which has been made more often than just once. But also, several have a lasg of quality or he just feels like doing the same building so I think this shouldn't be a problem.

[thesantiagossj4 26]

new updates.... upper part of burj khalifa!

 

 

 

¿wath you say about that?

[dubaidude303 1,125]

Looking good so far!

[libellibicus 396]

It's coming along nicely.

[thesantiagossj4 26]

i have a little big question, wath i do to put textures or reflects (i want textures more than reflect or reflect of the base?) in the windows?

[AndisArt 2,068]

Are you using gmax for the Burj Khalifa model? If you do, I would strongly suggest you switch to 3ds max if you can, because gmax is very limiting with bad performance when it comes to large structures. Also, you have very limited possibilites with texturing. The reflections you want to add to the glass can only be done in 3ds max. In gmax you can only simulate reflections, which is nowhere as good an option than real calculated reflections would be in 3ds max.

 

You can get a free version of 3ds max if you are a student.

i have to buy 3ds Max e.e and yes, gmax is too bad for this model type... and thanks for your help andisart. I have your Lighthouse Tower, i like it 

and yes i am student

[thesantiagossj4 26]

i buy 3ds max 2012, i can run the Bat4max 5 script?

[thesantiagossj4 26]

I restart the project in 3ds max 2012, but i don't know how to instal BAT4Max V5 in Max 2012, but i show someone updates, i finished the base!

 

 

this update it's from 28/03/2013

 

 

I added reflects in the water 28/03/13

 

 

i Finished the base 28/03/13

 

and i have some details, here you got... this is the option A

 

 

and here we got the option B

 

 

what you choose?

[thesantiagossj4 26]

soon i upload the option C

[darn42 1,268]

I'm going to be completely honest, right now the model looks "ok" but we already have a version of this building that looks "ok" on the STEX.

 

There are some good things about this, but there are more flaws than anything. The building doesn't look "convincing" right now, and I don't expect it to look much better without the proper experience. Something so massive requires a solid understanding of all the fundamentals that go into this if you want to get something that looks more than ok.

 

Now I can't tell you what to do, but my suggestion is to put this on hiatus, watch some tutorials--learn texturing, modeling, and some rendering very well. Then, attempt smaller buildings that are only a few stories, and make them very good, then once you have that, come back to this.

 

Regardless of that, if you want to do this with the quality that the community expects from BATs now, you must pay attention to little details, and spend a lot of time on small things. You have a good start, but this is just a huge project to do right. No matter what you choose to do, good luck

[thesantiagossj4 26]

where i can find tutorials?

[Adjiebrotot 94]

what version of 3DsMax do you use? i have 2013 one and i don't know how to export it to the SimCity 4... 

[thesantiagossj4 26]

^ i have 3ds max 2012, and you have de simfox's Bat4Max V5, but if you want to install it, you hatch to download first:  you uncompress the file, right click in your 3ds max shortcut, start as administrator, click in run script, you can find in 3ds max scripts, click run script, search the script, and you have to choose the plugins of your simcity 4 (not the directory of your game, My documents, simcity 4 and plugins folder) i hope i help you and sorry for bad english

[EmJay1974 4]

Please make it a growable too! 

[dubaidude303 1,125]

I don't think this bump was necessary....
