Tonksies BAT Thread NDEX

Tonks, I think it might be the Z-u combination, I remember when EQ was having problems uploading the Zhang Ghee Centre because of the NDEX-Z combo. Try uploading it as Portsmouth Bank or something along those lines...

Ok after releasing the Landport Finance Tower completly unanounced i had better show you this, its pretty big compared to my usual BAT size so its new terratory for me, the picture is too big to post so i wll give you a link instead. It is called 4 Eastland Grand and will have nightlighting. http://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/newpreviewoof4eg2.jpg

I would also like to say a big thankyou to you all for getting both the Zurich and Landport buildings to star performer. Zurich House is my favourite Portsmouth Building so its great to see it at the star performer slot.

 

Also a big thankyou to Superstar for helping me with the camera rig on this new building.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

You do amazing work!!! Keep it up!!!

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

While the Render is in progress on 4 Eastland Grand i have began making another midrise, notice the textures currently identical to zurich, this will be changed later. Also note the two roads, these will go later where the building will cross an avenue.

This looks brilliant. I cant wait for another mid-rise to add to Garston

[mambomumba 8]

Those new buildings are just amazingly nice. This new building also interests me quite much.

I'm still curious about the airport you started with a couple of weeks ago. Is it still in progress or

did you gave it up? Hoope not. That was very good.

For a second there I thought I was in basingstoke! Good work.... my cities look very Milton Keynes like

[vester_DK 477]

Well what can I say ? I love your Eastland Grand series. Keep them coming.
I thinking of using my summerbreak to learn some batting. I know 3d autocad. Can you give me a pointer on where to some tutorials to get started ?

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

This is a great mid rise that will blend in very nicely with most any city, we need more genereic mid rises or high rises in this game!!! Keep it up, you make some amazing buildings!!!

This is great, i cant wait to see how this ends up when it crosses the avenue!!!

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Things have to go wrong dont they, I DO have the script fix for BAT but when i render the Brenntian Life (i hav 3 times now on high quality) i still get the texture ID clash, i have tried reinstalling the BAT (script file too of course) but everytime i get the ID clash. Seems another thing that has to go wrong for me.

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I'm very sorry to hear about this Ill.

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Heres a Building i made through the week (whilst trying to get the Brenntian Life rendered) It is the BTF (Brennt Thames Ferries) building, and has a nice shiny blue metal surface thingy i cooked up in photoshop. This Preview is at draft quality and i forgot to add lighting to the BTF sign (which glows blue by the way). Anyway this is nearly ready to render after a few minor adjustments to the building and the lighting. Hope to have it available by the end of the week, enjoy it!

Notice the awning looks really bad here, thats due to the quality of the render, it will look much better when rendered at hi q!

 

MIDRISE REVOLUTION!!!

[Glenni 1,447]

oooooooooooooooooooooooo!nice building tonks even if the awnings whas like that ill still like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!good luck on the rest

and lets pray that it dont get corrupted!!!!

[jacqulina 162]

nice work

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Is this going to be connected to a ferry terminal or is it just a office block?

[petriknl 15]

Wow I love your Midrises... in my CJ you should see some of your buildings in the very near future...

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Great series of realistic midrise buildings, congratulations!

On that preview shot of the last building it looks like the roof textures are a bit too grainy, though. Is this due to the low render quality, too? If not, they might look better if you make them a bit smoother. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

Lord Betrum: No it will be a single building, ferry portsw are very difficult to make due to lodding issues.

T Wrecks: It is due to the low quality render, it is a similar texture to what i used on Zurich House and the Brenntian Life.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Ah, ok. Thx for the info. The texture on that Brenntian Life building sure looks good. However, I think it's a bit odd that there's such a gradient on the roof texture. IMHO, it would look even better if you would skin the roof, i.e. make a texture that has exactly the dimensions of the roof and then use some Photoshop filters on it to make it darker near the edges and lighter towards the center. Some stains & smudges could look great as well. Check 6459978.'s buildings if you don't know what I mean... Then again, I gotta say that I don't have a clue about how much work that is and if you need any additional programs. Just a suggestion, no criticism intended... I love your latest buildings anyway, for the simple reason that they look so realistically generic and average - just like most buildings in any given city.

I still live in hope that somebody will produce something that replaces the terrable ingame ferry terminal.

Hello all, Update Time! New BAT!

After a brief 4 day absence (internet connection down) i have begun work on a new Midrise called 1 Fratton Corner, Named after Fratton, an area of my hometown. I have a lot of plans for this one including shops on the ground floor. At the moment my plans for the building will be CO

[timo 15]

Great building!

[Chris M 406]

Great another beautiful tonks mid-rise, great job, you are getting better every time you show us a new one.

[zxo_drifter 0]

i would really like to see an english style walkup.im tryin to get an urban city with alot of character and thought a change in building style could help make it look more realistic.let me know if anyone is willing to do this.
