Mushy's Random BATs

[Jasoncw 11,840]

About the containers, if you look at the top of the red container, you can see the grey container getting reflected. To me that would indicated that the reflectivity of that material needs to be lowered.

I can't decide if the roof is EPDM sheets over an insulated frame or if we are looking at metal like the garage area

[MushyMushy 3,617]

I posted some progress in the Show Us What You're Working On thread earlier... so here's some more - this time from a different angle finally!

Don't mind the bright thing in the bottom left window... There's no back wall as of yet (technically the building continues behind the part that I've modeled, so that's why), so light is coming in. The wall textures have been updated and should look better now. It's starting to come together finally.

@Jasoncw - Thanks for pointing that out. I wanted to see if anyone thought they were too reflective - got my answer. I forgot to tone it down for this render, but it'll be fixed by the next update. I think the reflectivity is set to something like that of car paint - way too high.

@philforhockey51 - Yeah, I was drawing a blank too. I ended up just going for some faint effects that make it look like metal, since the garage roof is. The first render should show the lines so it's more obvious. I'll probably end up doing the same for the light grey roof on the rear portion of the building.

@T Wrecks - Thanks! Yeah, those are the 20-foot models. Should be pretty easy to make the 40-foot ones (and whatever other sizes they come in). I'll probably get around to posting separate HD renders of the containers and the various trucks from this project one of these days. I really made the containers for HD rendering - they have much sharper details and textures than these SD renders can show unfortunately...

I love how intricate and detailed your scenes are. Really beautiful work

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

And in true Japanese fashion, You made the Parking Lot part of the model.

[Krasner 1,062]

This is impressive in terms of reproduction  The concrete texture is lovely

[philforhockey51 4,211]

The little effects on the roof are perfect, yes it looks like some real roofing material now instead of like a kids playground rubber or something. 

I really like this model. It changes things up a bit in our games with the roof color but it's still minimal enough to work. Would you consider improvising another model that could be like a long overhanging lean to style garage that matches this building. That could run along the back of the Lot(a different larger Lot that also contains this main building) to create a larger main equipment/truck yard that can be placed near a highway, and this one stays small to be placed in the inner city. 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Me I like. 

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

I'm just seeing it now D:

What a wonderful work! Great modelling, great textures, great effects *_*

[airman15 4,111]

The nonuniform arrangement of each truck is too spot on! Every industrial lot I see in LA satellite images show lines of them and they are never as orderly as the default props! Will definitely be using this model when it's released!

[MushyMushy 3,617]

Regrettably I haven't been working on this too much lately, but I have done some work over the past few days. There really isn't all that much left to do on the day render...

I do still need to post those HD closeups of the trucks though. One of these days I'll post on here why I'm so sporadic with my postings and why I jump around between projects so much. I can assure you there is a valid reason aside from my hatred of exporting and modding... gahh...

I have a job now (my first!), and have been there for a few weeks, so I have been busier than I usually am this time of year.

This is a neat little yard. Good work. Perhaps this could be modded as a utility building. May be as a recycle yard or garbage dump. I am always in need for urban garbage handling facilities. Ideal for a large Asian city. 

I couldn't park in that yard. Even if my life would depend on it.

 

[harryloko20 33]

Best pack! but cant find TNT and another trucks inlot editor, why?

[MushyMushy 3,617]

I actually sat down a few times over the past few weeks and put my mind to learning how to do night lights reading Jasoncw's tutorials. Pretty happy with the results. All that's left is exporting and modding, maybe at this rate it'll be released in November of 2020.

Edit: Looks like this is also my 2,000th post on the site.

[matias93 7,535]

You just broke my game. How am I supposed to put my humble collection of buildings aside that wonder? It looks better than real, is like reality on steroids!

[korver 27,685]

The nightlights are truly stunning! Fantastic work

[Finnbhennach 161]

Just had to stop by and marvel at your progress of achieving realism—definitely game-breaking! Well done and oh welcome back 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

It... yes... why... well... I... I think it might do. *slowly recovers from the shock* Holy cow, those are some sweet night lights. Just beautiful.

What a 2000th post that is, and I'm so happy to see you again, too!

[airman15 4,111]

Brilliant night lighting! And quite a post to reach a milestone like that!

Well done!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

OMG!!! I love it!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

It looks great and perfectly captures that "parking lot at night" feeling. 

(and congratulations on 2,000 posts )

[metarvo 710]

This is still SimCity 4? I think this is the first time I've seen the lights shine quite like that in this game; they reflect just as they should.  I don't see one light cone anywhere.  Incredible!

The trucks look stunning too, as do the ever-so-slightly angled cars in the parking lot.

[mattb325 28,880]

The nightlighting is stunning! Glad to see that this project is still progressing 

[Tyberius06 12,189]

Wow, very nice!  2020 is not so far away, we can wait for it!

Looks like 2020 came early.

Now... now I can move on to something else.... finally....

[Ke|is 3,333]

Thanks !! I hope more things from Japan are comming

[Silur 3,304]

Thank You! This is very helpful for me ... 

[MushyMushy 3,617]

Thanks for all of the nice replies!

@kelistmac - Didn't have to wait long!...

Just a reminder: as always, I do my vertical scaling adjustments as the last step of my day render.

Wanted to go for something simple. This building fits almost perfectly on a 1x3 lot so I didn't have to play with dimensions or anything. It appears to only have 3 full stories, but it is actually pretty tall. The roof junk on the top makes it a little over 6 regular-size floors tall. This should be pretty simple to make.

I am actually at a bit of a loss as to what type of Commercial to mod it as, and am open to suggestions.

Can't wait to see more progress

[nos.17 5,120]

Looks good!

If I were modding it, I'd definitely go CS, and probably would lean more towards CS§. It reminds me a lot of bixel's smaller buildings, and when I re-modded those, I made most of them CS§. Plus, IMO there's a distinct lack of mid-rise CS§ and CS§§.
