The UN Headquarters

[JohnB 66]

Awesome Job!! It looks very realistic. I was wondering what happened to this project. I guess I should have looked in the Forums
I cant wait until this is done!!!

[Superstar 69]

Well, I did some tests, the lot may be just a ted smaller in the future but what you see is whats now, I rendered the base in the summer as a test and now I test rendered the main UN building, so I put them in the first original NY3  region to see whats the results, some were good but some were less

 

ok so now here is the main pic, as you see the base is NOT done yet in so you see that bad looking white and black

 

 

at the same time I took the right tp place the first UN BAT which was made for NY2 right in the next block from the new UN which is beeing made now as you can see

 

 

Now I've been having this one problem, when I put the main UN building in BAT I raised it in the air so it would stand right on the base whuch is not just road level, and now when I rendered it, it sits flat on the ground, I put just now a block under the building since I'm building the lot, main building, general building, confrence building and liberary building all in different BAT files, render one by one and put them all as prop on the base which is a landmark  heres a pic, hope in the future it works out

 

 

thats all for now, this project may get a bit more complex soon since lots of modding needs to be done on the BAT, like getting roads and stuff

Looks nice! I saw this buildling before and you're doing an AMAZING JOB! Keep up the AWESOME WORK !

By the way: new avatar and signature.

[Superstar 69]

ok, it been a few days and in those days I made some good renders, night time still needs to be done but we have a nice day looks, of course the texures will be fixed up and we still have a modding stage where I hope eq will pop in for the rescue.....  

 

So here is the lote now with the two other main buildings

 

 

and the back view seen from the east river

 

 

The whole lot will be scaled a bit down when it gets to the real thing and the General building will be scaled even more down for it being a tad large right now

[subedei 3]

Looks good superstar. This will be a fine addition to the STEX.

[Superstar 69]

[Chris M 406]

Superstar , this is a really great building..i cant wait till it is released

[SpartanBadger 4]

Hey superstar, I was just thinking of this the other day. You are doing a great job with it, and I have seen a Japanese creation of it, and that model has nothing on yours, keep up the hard work, looks excellent!

 

[ALTX 41]

Superstar, Great Improvements, reviewing this thread really shoed that you had hella improved in your BATTING...!!!

[Superstar 69]

Well this isn't moving much so I guess I'll hurry this up get a final look and render and..... done!! this should take a week or two, hope not more

[Boggy1 45]

IS the base going to be really that white? I think it should be a bit more grayer so it blends in more with the game, also, whats the situation of the shadows? they aren't gonna bounce off like WTC are they? just askin...

[Superstar 69]

relax man, that was just a quick check up on it, nothing there will be the same...

[Chris M 406]

Superstar are you still planning to finish some of your NY BATs you started because I cant wait to see them on the STEX

So... a few more questions, what is the lot size? 20x20 roughly? Are you planningn to render the whole complxe or into different pieces? Anyways I still think it looks good.

 

[Superstar 69]

It will be lower than 20*20 and about the render at this point I have no clue

[Superstar 69]

The basic thing which I've been trying to do to the UN now is create the base on to a higher level and so far so good, to tell you the truth the building would be days away if the main tower wouldn't be so hard to work with since it isn't set up for inner lights so this means I might have to take an extra few day on it since I need to get it ready for lighting and then I'll place lighting and final detail and done! now here is a pic of the work I did today, I have a very low poly count BAT here so I'm not worried about that (150,000 poly)



Now as you see the main tower is a little messed up but I hope to fix that up with the re-modeling

Very good improvements, superstar. Now are you going to add flags or use the Maxis ones?

[Chris M 406]

 when are you planning to uploading this ? how big is the lot I wanna reserve a spot for it in my NY

Are those final textures? Because the texture of the small rectangular building next to the fountain looks bad, and there's no difference between the walls and roof.

Maybe instead of saying bad you could say imperfect or not detailed enough. Bad - can really signify very low hostile intent in a message. Anyways wanted to give props to superstar!

[SpartanBadger 4]

I like the improvements you've made. Great job, this will be great to have when you release it!

[Chris M 406]

props Superstar great job
