Project Taipei 101

[n74704 21]

well, KD5RAX is having difficulties with the tower, more importantly - nightlighting.  the base is too bright, yet if toned down, its too dim.  so he's asked me to take over.  no word on where this project is gonna go.  it'll be released, but you have to remember that massive projects like this take...LOTS...of time.  so, be patient and look at some of the smaller scale projects we have here on ST.

Sorry about the great delay.  I have a rendered version and would have released when i said i would, but for some reason the nitelites did not render correctly.  Since it needs to be rerendered anyway, I figured it might as well be improved, and who better than N747 who has done the most strikingly beatiful night lights ever?

[Superstar 69]

Me!!!  nah, n7 is greater, he's been looking into the lighting probs you can get, he's doing great!!! I don't know if you've seen but I've been working on this new lighting style, and yes not to brag or anything but I find that my best part which I work on in BAT, and I must add it's a great lot of fun to me

[kd5rax 82]

I have seen it, and really like how it is progressing.  I would have implemented it into this building back when i first started lighting it, but it added way too much to the render time.  It would be feasible if I split it into 8 different parts...

[Superstar 69]

I know what you mean, even with a simple though high polyed (500k+) BAT can give many probs with the lights, more them just render time but the lighting quality and look itself

release the bad version and then release the good version.

lol nah just playing take your time. But dont take a month LOL.

[crazyarchitect 7]

[Bling12 0]

Well do you think it can come out any time soon?

[Equinox 1,209]

That depends on many things, but I'm inclined to say probably around Thanksgiving time. N747 is the best of the best, but it takes him a while to do such a great job (believe me, personally I know it is worth it in the end every time). You'll have the patience ... because if you don't, tough luck. lol j/k but seriously, kd5rax, don't even think about the render times. I'm willing to spend over a week on the base if it becomes nessecary (which it probably won't; check the little tip in my signature), because it will be worth it. Don't even think about that ...

Like when a game is supposed to come out in November, and you are all ready for it, but then it gets pushed back until January, and you have to wait 2 more months...................sound familiar to anyone

***cough SC4 cough***

Kd, you have a chosen a VERY good simtropolite to work on your lights, I know you will not be dissappointed; but as far as the model goes, you have done an outstanding job. I will wait however long I need to for this building

Ok il wait til Thanksgiving and thats it. LOL j/k

Well i guess it should look pretty sweet.

[nooneatall 6]

To start off: This project is looking very promising, and I am looking forward to it.

Please forgive me, but what Thanksgiving are you reffering to? I know here our Action de Grâces(Thanksgiving) was roughly 3 weeks ago, so this confuses me. I am very sorry for this, I am just ancious for the release of this BAT.

Um its turkey day. The day we eat turkey. LOL

[crazyarchitect 7]

The Thanksgiving for America, they are saying it might be released around Nov. 25, can't wait

[Bling12 0]

They are saying they might release it near November 25 so it can mean that it will take longer...*cries* lol j/k

I wish i could see an in game picture to see how tall it is.

[paulvmontfort 616]

today is the day: 25th. of November
I hope they'll release it today.

[Alkaola 18]

man really hope to see this today

[Superstar 69]

Guys, come on, when it's done it's done, they can't give you guys the right date all the time, problems have been around with this BAT so please be patience

[crazyarchitect 7]

Patience is a vertue lol

[Bling12 0]

Yeah i think this will be ready by christmas.

[HONG KONG 74]

Do not understand why some say Taipei 101 is not beautiful.  I look forward to the release.

[Alkaola 18]

well i think this is going the same way as the library bank , 

 

for example , the 'blabla' (don't know ) 'condos'  was uploaded to the exchange , on that pic i saw the tapei 101 , so that means Equinox has this building, no hard feelings but does it takes so many time to mod and nitelite it ?

 

Anyway i just wanted to say it because it takes pretty long time you know

 

 

'trying to keep patience , smashes his Taipei 101 poster away'

[kd5rax 82]

nice pic hong kong.

and alkaola, this building is next on my priority list.  I had sent it off for help, but the person ended up being to busy to help, so i myself will work on the lighting this afternoon.  just wait for it, i plan to release it and several other bats as soon as they all get rendered.  It should take a day or so to do the lighting, plus three for render, plus 2 or 3 more for good measure, plus a week for modding. so i say, maybe two weeks and you could be seeing this on simtropolis!!

Wewt i was right. This will be done for christmas

[crazyarchitect 7]

I guess that's doable, I'll be waiting

[hamp206 2]

...cant wait for the buildign to be here but i was reading a few replies up and he was right...in the NDEX Rax Condos picture(https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=4325) the taipei building is there. after i saw that picture a while back i went on a mad search to find but couldnt find anything

ALSO note this....the NDEX Rax Condos is dated september 23, 2004 he has had the building for months now...its gotta be some where or he is being greedy

[Equinox 1,209]

You guys are very impatient.
Yes, I have the building.
Guess what?
It has no nightlighting effects whatsoever (on the base).
If you were to see a full-length version of that screenshot ...
-- there would be no base at all (somehow the lot file got messed up and the base
refuses to show up in the lot file, for a reason I cannot figure out)
-- viewed from any of the other 3 rotations the upper two models appear bent completely
out of shape due to render errors
-- the nightlighting on the top segments is ... bland

Superstar, you're hired; N747, you're fired. N747 has been taking much too long, so Superstar, if you read this, would you be willing to take on the job? I recommended you because I know you do spectacular things with nightlighting, and I'm sure anything you do with this will be worth waiting for.

Please don't be so quick to criticize; I think I've brought enough stuff to the community that otherwise never would have been released (*cough DuskTrooper) to excuse me from this type of assumption. If I had a model I felt was releasable, I would have had it ready for kd5rax to go long ago.

Equinox attended the donald trump school for successful employee termination... You're Fired!
