JP Schriefer's BATs

[Huston 5,799]

That stadiums looks like it's going to be an exciting killer upload! Looks beyond impressive so far Schriefer, hopefully you get it done eventually

[jmsepe 2,039]

Nice new release, is there an update on the first building you were working on?

[Jasoncw 11,933]

Congrats on your upload 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Nothing left for me to say but this GIF again. I guess Toothless is a master of explaining things without even using words ....

 

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

darn42 - Thank you really much for the tip!!

 

MushyMushy - Thank you! 

 

airman15 - Thank you! Mineirão is originally a soccer stadium, but sometimes there are shows and rugby matches there. I'll think about it

 

Reddonquixote - Thank you, Reddon! Your tips helped me a lot as well

 

__B - Thank you!  I want to start One Financial Square soon! 

 

Huston - Thank you!

 

jmsepe - Thank you! As I said to you, I found some measurements errors in Park Avignon, but soon I'll show how it's going.

 

Jasoncw - Thank you really much!

 

Toothless Stitch - Thanks, Toothless! 

 

 

 

 

I started to build Bastet's suggestions yesterday, the building he said was this one:

Modelling looks great!

[SimCoug 5,973]

Neat! I like the sign

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Thank you, guys

 

Sorry to be coming here on such short time, but I preferred to show again as it is so that the next time I hope to come to say is already on STEx! And also I do not know if I'll deal with the BATs at the time of New Year's Eve and early 2015.

The yellow and red walls need to take a "noise" to get better, but what's really bothering me is that sidewalk around the corner, it was did as it is really, but in rendering it gets weird. I think it won't look good anyway, someone has a tip for that?

Nice progress, keep up the awesome work! 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

One side of that glassy annex seem to be different. And the roof texture reminds me so much of me trying to texture Citibank Building's roof in New York :/

[Bastet69008 1,102]

Bib'sfiha for everyone!  Great job so far, especially the sign. The yellow on the walls may be a little bit too bright, but that's fine by me

[Seraf 1,238]

I think the problem with the sidewalk is that the texture is just too small and too detailed I sometimes have this problem too with details on my buildings, instead of nice ornaments you can only see a blur

 

Anyway, the building is very nice   Good job

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

@tonyr - Thank you

 

@ToothlessStitch - Sorry about that, I forgot to say it was not done yet.

 

@Bastet69008 - Thank you, and fixed

 

@Seraf - Thank you. Yeah, the only way I found was to not do the sidewalk there, was made in Lot Editor in the final version.

 

 

 

SPECIAL NOTE:

 

Well, folks, exactly 1 year ago on the same day and almost at this same moment, I started this thread still learning to do BATs. Since there I could improve on BATing thanks to the help from all of you who are here, so I'm very grateful. Thank you very much!         

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coincidentally on the thread birthday I released a BAT! 

Here we go:

 

 

Habib's is on STEx!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also had some progress in One Financial Square (32 Old Slip), from New York, sent some images to Borg some days ago and now decided to post here. More angles on the spoiler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm working in a project out of Simtropolis as well, and soon I'll probably release some things from there on STEx, they're John Wesley United Church and St. John's Memorial Hall.

Sorry about the long post, I thought would be good to talk about how everything is going here

[tonyr 926]

Thanks for the great BAT. Looks like you're off and rolling my friend.

[Hotwheeler 409]

First of:Thanks for uploading Habib`s Supermarket.The Wikipedia Entry says tht they want to expand on foreign markets,so how about opening a store in my New York City Region

 

As for the 32 Old Slip,it`s always good to see new buildings for NYC.Even if this might not be a real beaut<queen it still belongs to the Cityscape now.

I found out that the ground floor of this building also houses the NY Fire Department,so this might be someinteresting knowledge for later usage....and i can`t wait to see how you will do the ewflwctive glass...

 

The two church buildings are super cute and i love both the scorching red and the noisy stone/brick wall from the Memorial Hall.

I wonder if they are based on real life versions.

So long and keep on being creative

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

A candidate for NYBT?

 

Btw, You're lobby section is too tall. I've struggeled if I should start this, too or not when I was batting. But I took close looks, These columns are deifinitely too tall. Deatch is and scale it down along the z-axis

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Your work is improving immensely JP, well done.

 

The tower looks great but I'm sorry to say you have made a fundamental error with one of the dimensions, hopefully its not too difficult to fix.

 

 

You can see where the 3 arrows are, these sections should be the same width. On your model, the centre section is too narrow. That looks like it might be a bugger to fix

 

In the circled sections, there are some other things you should look at as well. I'm also inclined to agree with toothless, the lobby does look a little bit tall.

 

Keep up the great work

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Generic red brick church

[elavery 1,013]

Some awesome work in here. I wonder if you would be interested in a Rio 2016 Olympics project? With your BATing and my CJing we could create something special. I am in need of a CJ project at the moment.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

@tonyr - Thank you very much

 

@Hotwheeler - Thank you! The fire department will be done too. I already modeled the doors some hours ago . About the churches, yea, they're real buildings and are ven in the same lot! Click here to see it on Google Maps. It's from an interesting project, soon I hope to release them and give more informations about it.

 

@Toothless Stitch - No way, NYBT is too much for me  So, the lobby I didn't found the exact measurements, then what I had to do was take the building height, that is easy to find, and then discover the lobby height with proportion, but I'll scale it down Thanks for the tip!

 

@Reddonquixote - Thank you really much! This error with measurements really needs to be fixed, I think I know a way to do it easily, let's see . About the circle if you mean the details, they're already in the model, maybe too small, I'll extrude them a bit to see if it looks better. Thanks for the tips! 

 

@Kontantinll - Soon more informations

 

@elavery - Thank you I'm having a lot of work these days, but I think a project like that would be really nice to do indeed. We can talk about it

 

 

 

Btw, I would like to know if somone here knows what is on this parts I made some arrows, already tried to see it from Google Earth, maps, images, but nothing helped. I would be very grateful

 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Actually, there's nothing there...

 

[KiethMarkus2014 14]

All those buildings look fantastic, I specifically love the 2 small churches, Keep up the great work!

[Huston 5,799]

That tower looks like some really impressive stuff. Can't wait to see the turnout

[airman15 4,112]

Btw, I would like to know if somone here knows what is on this parts I made some arrows, already tried to see it from Google Earth, maps, images, but nothing helped. I would be very grateful

 

 

Seconding what Toothless Stitch had provided, there isn't much to show on the roof. Being that it's a New York skyscraper, I would suggest it uses similar materials from neighboring buildings. My best guess is the materials used are either a gravel or a composite material.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

You could simply insert the "roof", extrude it along the -z axis and the add some simple concrete textures. That's how most buildings without any special installments look like. 

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Thanks for the comments and tips, guys. really appreciated! 

 

Some days ago I started to do Maracanã for a new project on Simtropolis and SimCity Brasil. Soon we will make a specific thread about it here, but maybe it take a little longer, meanwhile I'll post it on my thread then. I won't give more details from the project now, let's wait to see everything in the right thread

 

The initial idea for the Maracanã is to do not only the stadium, but the entire complex around and subdivided into several lots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The model looks 'incomplete' due to be empty in the top grandstands, but actually the roof will cover it, that's why I'll do nothing there. The only part that appears there is exactly the VIP cabins. I want to do the roof tomorrow, tried today but without success  

 

I'm already thinking about how to do the grandstands, probably the best way is a texture, because copy more then 70k seats...will never work. I'll try to do a texture from this image, if anyone has any better idea and want to take a guess, feel at ease 

 

The images are in zoom 5, click on them to see it bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Reddonquixote 4,338]

Wow, amazing work on the model. Your modelling skills are increasing exponentially. We just need to get your textures as good

 

It will be interesting to see how you go with the textured grandstands. I'd say at a minimum you'd want to experiment with very strong bump maps or displacement maps to give it some form.

 

Ps. I'm always amazed with stadiums how conceptually little they have changed in  2000 years...

[Huston 5,799]

Schriefer. You must teach me your ways.

[tonyr 926]

Looking good!
