daTS's BATs [Athena Security Solutions HQ]

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

So, my old BAT thread was riddled with sub-par models and unfinished things that will probably never see the light of day (except maybe the Office of Naval Intelligence building, that one has potential). I'll admit it, I just got bored of working with them. Mainly because I couldn't figure out where I was headed.

Anywho, I've decided to start anew with a clean slate. For my first big project, I'm picking up where SimFox left off, and doing my own rendition of the Russia Tower. I'm aware this isn't exactly accurate, and it isn't meant to be. This is INSPIRED by Russia Tower, but completely my own model!  

I've run into a few problems with the glass, since it's not exactly the way I want it, but It works out alright and I can live with it. I still need to do the roof and central tower, but she's coming along nicely! I give you, ladies and gentlemen, the Greystone Industries World Headquarters

 

 

[Huston 5,800]

You have my undivided attention.

[SimCoug 5,976]

Very cool!  Good to see you are still sticking with it.  

[urielgarcia 344]

Great challenge.  Looks good.

[Fox 1,444]

Great progress so far.. looking forward to using this beast in my cities.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Oh my God! Great job!

[gutterclub 2,729]

Great looking glass, hope you manage to stick with this one

[weixc812 509]

So great to see this project revive

[jmsepe 2,039]

Like! 

 

Finally one of my dream BATs had come to life. 

[Xander Dax 310]

Brilliant! , will you be doing any more resurrections of anymore dead BATS?.

[MushyMushy 3,618]

I look forward to this masterpiece's completion!

[tankmank 853]

Looks great, admire you for taking such a project on 

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Just an update guys, sorry about my random hiatus, I had some family emergencies pop up. Just wanna let you know I'm STILL WORKING! I'll try and get the Russia Tower Remix out to you guys some time soon!

[T Wrecks 10,210]

"Family emergencies" doesn't sound good at all... take care of yourself (and of your family, of course)! The BAT won't run away, and neither will we.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I have to say, that building strongly reminds me of the Ryugyong Hotel. Not that that's a bad thing, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

 

Beautiful work nonetheless.

[jmsepe 2,039]

Fret not. Take your time, we can wait. Hahaha. 

[Huston 5,800]

Well, we're still here and eagerly waiting. Take all the time you need!

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Continuing work on Greystone Tower. She's almost complete for daytime renders. I just have to add some details on the Roof and do a minor plaza around the grounds. 

 

[MushyMushy 3,618]

Looks absolutely astounding!

---

I'm wondering... how tall is it in-game approximately?

[weixc812 509]

looks great so far!

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Mushy: It's approximately 600 meters tall.

[MushyMushy 3,618]

600m?

Ah, that's great! Can't get enough tall buildings sometimes, and one with an odd shape like this could definitely serve as a focal point in a CBD.

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Finished with the daytime render.

 

However, I seem to have a problem. I've reset and made my LOD's using both custom and automatic, but no matter what I do, when I try to export the LOD's in GMAX, I get the following error code:

"Export Failed. Code =6". 

Any idea how to fix it?

 

[jmsepe 2,039]

I'm sorry I can't help you with that Dats. However, I want to know how big is the lot size of this building? 4X6?

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

It's a 10x10.

[jmsepe 2,039]

OMG. That is so big. 

[Fox 1,444]

Looks great dats .. hopefully you can get the issue sorted so we can all have fun using this beast in our cities.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Well, this was unexpected. It definitely looks like a mix between The Shard, Ryugyong Hotel and Burj Khalifa.

[Belfastsocrates 1,753]

Delicious!!! lol

 

 

Can't wait to use this!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

WOW!!! Wonderful work man!!!!

I do not know hot to fix Export Failed. Code =6. Have you made a custom LOD to fix the building instead of the default shape?
