I don't think so. Kd5 and EQ still need time to make the query, mod it, make the lot, and whatnot.

Also, any idea how big it's going to be? I have an idea of where I want to put it but I want to make sure it will fit.
Oh and will there will be a LM or just a plop?

[Bling12 0]

Oh well i guess i can wait 10days

[Bling12 0]

Got anymore updates?

[GAT-X105 3]

If he had anymore updates he would have posted them. Be patient.

[crazyarchitect 7]

Does anybody know how to be patient???

[kd5rax 82]

lol.  I can hardly wait myself.  Eq said that he was going to start the final render a couple of days ago.  I really hope it turns out right.

[Superstar 69]

this is sounding great, I just heard that eq was in the middle of a 72 (I think) hour render of this great BAT

[rubberduck 3]

WOW! that looks great! I cannot wait for this one to be out! Taipei 101 has to be my favourite building in the world!

[sparkythepenguin 90]

What an awesome job you've done!

Scratch one building off my huge wishlist now!

[Equinox 1,209]

After my last 50-hour NDEX export, I'm ready to go on this thing.
I'm guessing the full-base version is gonna be 6x6, but I'm not sure.

kd, the nightlights on the base look a bit bright and fiddling with the intensities does nothing ... but, at this point, I decided I'd just go for it and am starting the export literally as soon as I close this browser window. Hopefully it won't take more than about 35 to 40 hours, tops. The other pieces I can do overnight, no problem.

Lot work won't be much of an issue here, as far as I can see, guys; I believe the building is just the right size for the lot.

[Equinox 1,209]

Hey, kd, you did one helluva good job on making the base an efficient export; it's nearing the end of the zoom 4s now and it's only been 22 hours ... it should be done by tomorrow morning, so if you give me those updated top segments I can do those maybe both Friday night!

[crazyarchitect 7]

yays, good things to come

[mcarch 15]

YEAH!

not really related to the BAT, but an earthquake hit Taipei today and knocked out the elevators on the real 101... glad no one was hurt tho.

[Equinox 1,209]

The base finished! I haven't checked it in the reader yet, but segment 2 is exporting; I *think* the nightlighting is okay for it but I am not sure ... it should be done by this evening ...

[Superstar 69]

this is great to hear, this project will be one HUGE hit when it's done

[kd5rax 82]

cool eq.  I have no clue why the base lights are still too bright even after fidiling with intensities.  And thanks for the compliment on the optimization, i had too have it really optimized to use my slow computer to work on it.  I hope that has high graphics quality too. And i will get with you tonight on the #3 segment and the base for the growable version which will be released at a later date than the landmark.

BTW, do you have any pictures, i would love to see some high quality rendered shots, my computer can only handle the lowest quality.

[Bling12 0]

Is it done? Is it coming out this evening?

[Equinox 1,209]

No way ... there is still work to be done.
Here is a picture. Note how segment 2 still has no nightlighting.
It and segment 3 need to be re-exported.

[crazyarchitect 7]

uh-oh, I can feel a slight delay coming on, well take all the time you need to get stuff fixed

[Tunafish 48]

cool, but you need spots and better nitelites. it's looks real, , dark, unintersesting.

 

just my thoughts.

[Equinox 1,209]

We avoided spots to keep the render times down.

If you want to add them in, kd, well, at this point in time I'm perfectly fine with re-rendering the base next week ... regardless of how long it takes (I'd guess around 2.5 days or so).

[Superstar 69]

thats not too good, but for what I see the building ROCK!!!!!

[zero_eclipse 3]

The night lights are a bit dark, what happened to these lights on the sides



In any case I won't be playing any games for awhile with my midterms coming up so take all the time you want

[kd5rax 82]

You are right, but like eq said, we tried to avoid spots, they make the render much harder on the computer.  We where doing the spots earlier, but they where causing it to not even start the render, because it took too much computer power to render with the spots.  Unless I broke it down into 8 different peices, which wouldnt be much fun.

ps.  and yes, unfortunately there is a delay.  I think it may take three or four more days for render....

[crazyarchitect 7]

Thought so, oh well, like I said, take all the time you need

[Gecks_II 0]

ugh.. i cant wait... thisbuilding is such a nice piece!! its gonna be the crown jewel of my region!!!...but any chance to know how much longer???

[Bling12 0]

Sorry for being impatient

[Nastay 0]
