Tonksies BAT Thread NDEX

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

Inspired by Scipios latest work (the lighting rig mainly) i have decided to start work on a small NDEX Sports/Community centre. Im going for something minimalist (again you have Scipio to thank for that). So far i have what will become the entrance and the main hall. Im considering adding Tennis courts to the lot on this too. or maybe even modelling them.

The name comes from a friend of mine who recently introduced me to my local Church

Nice work! Though this can't really be considered "minimalist;" it's more "deconstructivist" as minimalism died out from the public view in the early '70s.

Nice one tonks, seems you can BAT nicely even when drunk too

[jayo 44]

Nice one.I like you model.

Looking very nice tonks! I really like how the roof becomes the walls, and goes down to the base, creates a very dynamic structure.

And I'm glad my lighting technique appealed to you, however the real trick is not just to stick the skylight in, but to also use a Direct to make the scene a just a bit brighter to look like daylight instead of dusk.

Looking good though!

Hi Tonksi, Im looking for Victorian villas, the type found round urban parks up and down the UK. Typically 3-4 floors high, decent garden and detached or some are semi. Could you do some?. And how about more buildings with signage, either in between windows, or on rooves.x

nøøb invadement!

Hey i got a request, PLACE REQUESTS IN THE BAT REQUEST THREAD,  easy enough?

Hello, Just keeping up to date on your projects, and I see they're coming along very well , but I also support what ToxtethTown says. Some Victorian villas, or any low-rises to fill the gaps in the residential area of the cities would be wicked!.

And to Glenni, do you really think any1 really pays close attention to that thread?

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

Its raytraced, so not possible in GMAX.

Nice work as always my Ingrish friend!

Can you tell me where you get your textures? Is it just a case of searching on Google when you need them or do you recommend any sites?

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

I make them.
