pretty nice.

youre doing pretty good at bat.

[crazyarchitect 7]

Interesting, but nice, I like it, keep it up

[RobledoRessainance 36]

Looking good, already. However, the roof of the circular part looks quite plain... Why not something like this?

I'm looking forward to see the development of this building.

Good start, looks pretty good.

[Alkaola 18]

I love it !! really you are doing a great job !

[rafarivera 17]

Well.... While I was messing around with the above building, I began applying some modifiers.. and another idea came to my mind... worked on it.... what do you think???  

 

[The_New_Thing 34]

I think (assuming the blue things are windows)it would be better with a lattice type thing on them,to seperate each window.

[rafarivera 17]

They do have one, though it isn't noticeable 'cause it isn't a render and it's on a far zoom out.

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Is it just me, or are they on an angle?

[rafarivera 17]

They're straight up.... or what do you mean??

[Ninja12 3]

he did the building on a angle so u can see it slanted but is staraight up but differt camera angle

[rafarivera 17]

Yup, the picture on the right is angled using perspective, not the building.   Any suggestions??

[nosoupforyou 9]

looks like one of those russian onion domes.

[rafarivera 17]

Maybe I should give it a russian name hehe

[rafarivera 17]

I've done some retexturing, what do you think?

 

[dudyconstructor 40]

Its interesting... but u need some more realism on it; i mean good textures. but it looks really good'); height=20 alt=Insert smilie src=https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/44.gif width=33 border=0> keep the work

[mcarch 15]

The first model (The Corporate Center) looks great! The top looks just fine... there is a building going up in Gold Coast, Australia. Go check it out!

[rafarivera 17]

Yeah, been trying several textures but haven't found one that I'm in love with...  any ideas?

[frogface 352]

the 2nd building looks like it could be a simmars building maybe?

[rafarivera 17]

Maybe I can do it in two versions.. an actual world one.. and a sim mars....  I'll give it a shot...    In the meantime, let me know any suggestions you might have for it.

[nosoupforyou 9]

i think sc4 NEEDS more bizzare looking buildings

weird textures look great.

i'll check my hard drive, see if i can find one for you to try.

[rafarivera 17]

Thank you nosoupforyou.... I'll work on the bottom of the building on the meantime...

[Ninja12 3]

that will look great in a tourist area

[rafarivera 17]

The purple one?

Interesting......

We have generated a few tools and tutorials which might be very helpful for you in texturing your buildings...

One is in the Bat Development forumn. It is a Sticky thread by redlotus. It has tools for randomizing nite windows, renaming objects, and doing random window textures. The thread is called Random Window Picker, or something like that...

 

The Tutorial for the random windows texture is in the thread that the CARCH image in my signature links to.

 

Keep at it! and don't be afraid to ask Caliban about that roof structure! He is busy a lot, but he will help you when he has time...I have made my tension roof, but I did something quite different than what I was expalining in the thread about the tension roof...

[rafarivera 17]

Thanks cerulean!!! I've already asked him... though I guess he's busy    I'm right now trying to texture windows using your random window tutorial..... I'll post the result when I'm done hehehe   thanks again (specially for not flaming newbies like me)

[rafarivera 17]

Thank you cerulean!!! Great to have you around here   I've textured the windows using your tutorial... I love the way they look  specially at night, they seem kindof pearlescent   The weird thing is that the thing atop the building lights up.. and no light is nearby... mmm    Check them out and let me know what you think

[rafarivera 17]

Hey all!! I've done some re-texturing again... to the whole frame and top... changed it to a silver-like one... I prefer it, what do you think???
