SC4B's BAT

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Wait with uploading. Keep calm and patient.

 

What do you mean by "satelite map"

[SC4B 55]

oh, alright srry

 

Satellite map in the sense, like u have seen my Reflections right, with the buildings and stuff, like that only but night scene of it so that i can apply it to my building during the night

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

You mean your ground map? You don't have to change the ground map. I guess you're using Bat4Max. In case you do you only have to use the default night scene setting.

My Progress

i have changed the night scene

 

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Great night lighting!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I would like to ask you to do a closeup preview of the builindg (night scene) and just post it here.

[MushyMushy 3,617]

It's kind of hard to give advice when the images are so tiny... I'd make the preview images better so we can really see the building.

[SC4B 55]

ok i got it

 

[SC4B 55]

Great night lighting!

 

Thank u City Master

Can anybody help wid an antenna on the roof? Please can anyone tell me how to model them, i dont want to download and import models. Help wid pictures would be really nice

[Huston 5,796]

Good so far It's a great improvment from the original!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

• IOR settings could be changed
• Different story heights
• Some textures appear to be plane colours

[SC4B 55]

Hey everyone, Since there is a problem wid my 3ds max. My BAT will be handed over to Huston and he will finish it with some great detailing. But im sure that ill come back to Batting after my 3ds max 2012 download finishes! 

[Huston 5,796]

I've given the BAT some attention and here's the result so far. Tell me what you think sc4b. Zoom 5 picture, 24 floors with occupying a space of a 1x1 SC4 tile. It's also been properly scaled to SC4 proportions

 

 

Still gotta add some finishing touches.

[SC4B 55]

 

 

hOW DID U DO THAT!!!

also, please show the night render too!

And also please answer my question above!

[Huston 5,796]

A bunch of boxes and some extra plugins (for the blinds anyway). And my usual approaches to BATs the I taught you. Nothing extra

[SC4B 55]

You got to tell me how to do that!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

That pretty simple. You could simply create a box, convert it into an editable polygon. Then you can work on each side on its own. Do poly modelling and create some segments here and there, extrude them and you should have a ncie facade. Same with the roof and you should get a result which is pretty close to Huston's

[SC4B 55]

If u don't mind, can u show that to me in pictures??

Cuz i can understand it better then!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I don't BAT anymore ^^. Whenever you create an object (I prefered planes and boxes) you can convert it into an editable poly by right-clicking to the object. After that, you have several selecting obtions on the right side. Also you can add segments and verteces (this doesn't effect the object; press F4 to see the poly grid) and then start to edit you poly by extruding, chamfering etc. You got all modelling options on the right side. In case you need help, just search for "poly modelling 3dsmax" on YouTube. 

[SC4B 55]

Thank you Toothless!

[SC4B 55]

My BAT which i gave it to Huston due to problems wid 3ds max is now on the STEX. Please download it. I have seen it in-game and its really beautiful!

[SC4B 55]

Hello everyone, im making another BAT 

Its just a small office. Here is my progress!

 

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Sketchup? Thought you used gmax or 3ds

[SC4B 55]

I stopped using gmax a while ago cuz some users told me to use 3ds max which i liked but, currently due to some problems i cannot use it. So i'm downloading 2012 version as i have a 3-yr student license which i can use. In the meantime ill be modeling it and when the download finishes, ill export that sketchup model into 3ds max and do the finishing stuff for it!

 

But i do need some help for this model. I'll send a screenshot which shows the back of the building. I need help there!

 

And one more help i need is to create a company logo since Huston and some other Batters have their own company. So even i want one but need help with some logos. If u can help me in making logos please it should be simple and not too complex

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Create a plane and add a logo texture there you go and you've got a logo sign. 

[SC4B 55]

But wouldn't it seem kinda blech? i don't think huston's logo is like that! but i'll still try it!

[Huston 5,796]

If you're trying to create a logo, then you'll preferably want to search for the font that the company uses. Search [company name] logo font and see if it comes up with an answer (For example, the font used for Toshiba's logo is called Eurostile). Then download the font by searching on google when you find the name of that font. Install the font and then you can go to Sketchup and use the 3d text tool to create the logo. If you can't find or download the font, then use the closest substitute you can find. If you want to make a logo (symbol logo), then use a picture for reference and put it as a background on a flat plane and trace out the shape of it.

[SC4B 55]

Im making Target! cuz its logo is somewhat simple

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

What I was referring to was the actual logo; basically the part of the logo you see and think "wow, that's obviously company XY"

[OmniBLACK 48]

Lol I thought it was one of Huston's models cause it looks similar to his last upload.
