Working on Another One, I need suggestions here cus i want to make this a popular Download, its going to be another College BAT.

[SpartanBadger 4]

You got a nice start there. I think this time you need to add more plants and generic details like benched, lights, garbage cans. Your last college was really nice but was lacking those details. I like your textures, keep up the good work.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Thanx XSpiderman I will, the courtyard will house lots of these things, i will BAT the courtyard but design the lods so that i can place tree's, benches ect as props (thats what i hope to do anyway)

Ignoring Roof Textures For Now Here it is (a little further in development) with night lighting, just to test the effects on the window

Wow Tonkso, that college is very, very nice - it's fancy without going overboard on the decor. It'd be wonderful if you could extend the building a bit though, right now it doesn't seem big enough for a college. Nevertheless, it looks great so far!

By the way, what's that thing behind the glass? It looks like a satellite dish.

Just a basic Sculpture toi bring some life

That college looks nice, but I think you need to add some more buildings, and possibly put some bars in the windows. I like the start of this new project; is that a slide and swimming pool?

 

I was wondering if you are going to make any changes to the police station? I have some ideas if you are interested. Great job with all your stuff, I can see you are getting better with the BAT with every project you do.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Heres an Update on my Fun Pool, i have added some supports for the slide, (more will be added later attaching to the roof) I have added more curvy sections to the pool and added bridges. I am planning on another slide but may decide agaist it.

YAY. A swimming pool. I really need one of these. Thankyou

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Almost done, the Lot contains 34 jobs and will be in the parks Menu. A sign has also been added to the entrance (individual lit prop). There is only one slide instead of the planned two with a spiral staircase leading to the top.

 

The final render took 5 hours so i hope you enjoy.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Sorry for the double post, this is important, anyone who downloaded my swimming center PLEASE DELETE, the file crashs the game, this has been sorted out in Version 2, please redownload if you wish to use this BAT. thanx and sorry for any trouble caused!!

[frogface 352]

looks good i'll download it....once i get my computer back

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

While im still looking for Picturees of Portsmouth Tower Blocks, (i might go and take some photo's myself) heres another project, a modern ferry port. its not finished yet, (a lot of work to go) the final piece will have a small terminal building to the left.

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Ferryportprevtonkso.JPG align=baseline>

I will need some difficult custom LOD's to make this work probably, also this is a picture of the project in VERY early stages so there are no detailed bits like barriers ect yet.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Very nice, but how do you make your textures transparent?

Doing some very nice work here! Keep it up!

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

That is bootiful. It looks so good. I think the road texture could be changed to somthing to match the SC4 UK mod road texture

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Unfortunatly i am having trouble getting the BAT to work correctly visually in the game. The project has been put on hold for a while, Sorry.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

A Quite Large Industrial BAT im working on, it will probably occupy about 6x6 tiles.

It is based on the large industrial buildings and chimmneys found around the UK.

[Chris M 406]

Looks really good, I like the detail and the texture looks great ! Keep it up

[SpartanBadger 4]

Wow those look really cool! Great job, keep up the good work!

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

The UK industrial builing is great, for realistic UK cities in the game, we need more older (Victorian) mills and warehouse BATs, as many are still in use today in British inner cities.

Will you be BATing a car Ferry for use with the ferry terminal you're working on?

 

[movieboi2k2 1]

Wow!!!I have been beggin forever for a new ferry terminal...This is truly a great day for my sims.Thanks 

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Unfortunatly i am having many problems with the visual effects of the ferry terminal. The road matches up much better now with a better spaced, textured render than the one above. The problem i have is the retaining wall appearing around the lot with my ground textures appearing above the water (not like the beach bug)

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

This will be (hopefully) the last render of the terminal. I have re-done the road textures (thanx to fosterk for providing me with them) to make it fit in better visually with the game.

Hey that looks awesome, but I was wondering if the roof height is high enough on the right side?
