Tonkso, just checking up... you ever get my PM?

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

LP: Ill get back to you soon.

Guys, im taking a break from the evening sessions in chat. Too much abuse heading my way, not appreciated. Had enough. So taking a few days out.

I come in chat to socialise when im not out, not to be abuses, if i wanted to be abused i would go find some chavs.

[IDS2 3,368]

Hey Tonks,

How do you go about asking for plans? Do you just walk in and ask and give over details?

I thought it would be quite hard in the currant climate.

Cheers

I was poking around on the STEX and came across a forgotten gem.

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16732

Not sure if you would ever consider even touching that project again... But I know it was something a lot of people were looking forward to.

Okay, so how would you go about it without sleeping with people.

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

That would be Incest :S

[SimFox 802]

Tonks! Great looking building!

For tiles you can try to use Tile map in Max itself – it will generate color and brightness variation, and lines between tiles randomly according to your settings – great helper.

But I would like Jason suggest to use higher resolution textures generally they look (on the roof for instance) a bit too blurry.

Also, something that I do, is after I'm done working on a texture, I'll merge all of the layers together (after saving it as a new file), and then I apply a sharpen filter.  I also play with the brightness and contrast (using a brightness and contrast adjustment layer).

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

Well (no comment on texturing, im not that far yet) This thing is doing my head in at the moment.

Pan Peninsula East Tower

[crazyarchitect 7]

very nice so far

[PerrierBaroudeur 0]

That's a beautiful building, I'm downloading it as soon as you upload it

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

Getting there. I guess.

[Andreas Roth 614]

Ohh, this looks very promising so far! Please make it a R-$$ highrise, those are still lacking sorely in the game.

[IDS2 3,368]

Ohhhhh....that's so beautiful...it's perfect, and looks as if it cou.d fit into any city. Fabulous!

[cammo2003 20]

This is looking AMAZING! Loving the detail.

In a few ways it kinda reminds me of World Tower here in Sydney,

Here's a link to some photos of WT on Emporis, it might give you a few ideas as to texturing if you haven't worked anything out.

Even if you don't use it, may come in handy at some point for ideas.

Iz a very, a very purdy.

[jayo 44]

More london buildings!!!!!Yey!

[ILL Tonkso 1,238]

I want to do the one in the middle foreground soon

[jayo 44]

That in portsmouth??Sorry don't recognise it

Anyways lovelly work!

[Odd from Sweden 129]

Wohoo Tonkso, this apartment building will look great when all the lights are in! But if You are going to make all that work in creating interiors and interior lights, why not take the idea one step further? You could make 3 or so different light settings, then make those three different lighted buildings into props and make them shift every now and then by the "seasonal prop" method. Then, in the game it would look like people switched on and off the light just as ppl do in real life!

[mcarch 15]

How tall is the one your working on now Tonksie?

[topcliff 1]

Whoo, that new one of yours would look awesome in my cities! Keep NDEX alive my man! Leonardo

[jacqulina 162]
