Solid_Snake0911 Projects

[Solid_Snake0911 306]

Ey gente, aqui Solid_Snake0911. A partir de hoy abriré este topico para publicar mis proyectos y QUIZAS algunos tip's para crear mis trabajos. Desde hace algunos años he tenido que ser autodidacta de todo esto del Bating para poder comprender y comenzar con edificios pequeños y la aplicación de los detalles y SOBRE TODO EL TEXTURIZADO. Creo que una de las cosas más dificiles de este pasatiempo tan genial, es el texturizado. Con los años aprendí a arreglarmelas por mi cuenta, sin embargo, caresco de conocimiento de sitios recomendados a los que pueda acudir para conseguir información, texturas, tutoriales o incluso, información sobre los edificios que me interesan modelar para Simcity 4.

Hace casi 2 años comence un proyecto que por algunas dificultades (se daño mi computadora y tuve que esperar meses para comprar tan siquiera un disco duro nuevo) se retraso una y otra vez pero por fin podré adelantarles algo de lo que ya tengo terminado. Debo decir que en vista de lo dificil que se me hace trabajar con 3ds Max (por lo antigüedad de mi pc, tengo que sustituirla por completo y no tengo dinero ) aprendí a usar Google Sketchup para modelar, pero si uso 3ds Max para renderizar los modelos, a partir de alli no tengo problemas para agregar los modelos al juego.

Antes de presentar mi adelanto del proyecto actual, me gustaria pedirle el mayor de los apoyos a toda la comunidad para ayudarme a continuar realizando mis trabajos a largo plazo. Ayuda con algunas paginas web de texturas (textures.com -no se si las politicas del foro me permita mencionar paginas web- ya la conosco), sitios web que me brinden información de arquitectura de los edificios (planos arquitectonicos o de cualquier tipo), algunos trucos, tutoriales o información para desarrollar mi agilidad para modelar, texturizar o crear nuevo material. De antemano les agredeceré su comprensión y colaboración en todo lo que me ayuden, de todas formas todo será con la finalidad de compartir con todos ustedes lo que pueda aprender y crear.

Bueno sin nada más que agregar por ahora, les presento al... 120 Wall Street.

Your model here looks great . Looking forward to seeing it lotted .

Thanks for sharing, looks great!

I've just moved this to the main general BAT forum, since it was posted in the team section.

Also no worries if your main language is Spanish. It just might be helpful to provide a translation (e.g. from Google), as most people speak English here.

You're doing a very good model indeed!
However I think you didn't resize it, right? If you didn't, select the scale tool and increase it vertically 133% (1,33), it will make the building's height looks like it really is. You have to do it in every model you do to SC4, so I suggest you to always model the building with the original measures and after you finish it you resize it.

Thank's for the sugges JP Schriefer . I will do it. And ok, i'll try to provides most what i write in both language.

Poly modelling at it's best. My attempts on this were back in gmax times...

[MushyMushy 3,618]

Well that came out of nowhere!

Looks really nice!

Wow, that's a great model, surely this cannot be your first BAT?

The main textures look a little bright to me, but that may just be the render, would have to see it placed in-game.

Whilst you can find textures in many places, learning how to create them from scratch often provides much better results. If you've not yet seen it, here is a great tutorial to get you started making your own:

Well, in fact, since i start learning to make my own BAT's I have been practicing with this model, over and over again, from approximately one and half year (I'm still learning) so I can say that it's the first that I made and i'm polishing. When i obtained some practice and skills, I modelled something small to try to get some impressions and it was the 277 275 Water Street.

I have not seen that tutorial. More material, thank's.

translate this if something was unclear

Bueno, de hecho, desde que comence a crear mis propios BAT's he estado practicando con este modelo, una y otra vez, desde aproximadamente un año y medio (aún sigo aprendiendo) asi que puedo decir que es el primero que he hecho y sigo perfeccionano. Cuando conseguí algo de practica y habilidades, modelé algo pequeño para intentar conseguir algunas opiniones y ese fue el 277 275 Water Street.

No he visto ese tutorial. Más material, gracias.

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Oh that's true! I have them. For those who didn't know about it:

Here is a update. Increased in vertical in 33%. Maxisnite version.

Looks great so far, bit I'm not sure about that spotlight. There is no light source to be seen, so the spot seems somewhat random. Did you take this photo as a reference? It looks like the light is coming from some spotlight that's not part of the building. This means that the night lights will look a bit odd if the building is there, but not the external spotlight. For optimum versatility, my humble suggestion would be to simply leave the spotlight out.

I like the interiotr lighting at the ground floor, however it looks pretty empty there. Are you planning to model the interior, or do you think about using a night texture for the windows?

[AndisArt 2,068]

Superb start into BATing! Beautifully modeled and textured. I agree with T Wrecks previous comments. Only thing I might also add is ambient occlusion on all of the dirty roof textures (and maybe the adjacent walls). This creates darker areas around the edges and in the corner, which adds a tad more realism and rounded off look. You can enable it in Special Effects tab when you use an Arch&Design material (instead of Standard material)

[Solid_Snake0911 306]

i can't find anything that allows me see what is in the ground floor interior, even google street view show it empty, like remodeled recently... so... i don't know what to add in that area. I was thinking in create a office space with tables and photocopy machines and stuffs like that. Regarding to light blue spotlight, in every night picture that i got of this building, that spotlight is there, make me think that it belongs to the night building ambient but i understand what you are saying, loses some realism if there is not something you put that light there. I think that the spotlight is on the upper highway illuminating all the exterior.

Thank's for the suggestion andisart i will try it

I'd also opt for leaving that light away since it doesnt belong to the building and therefor is bound to the New York location, in that context. To build the BAT in another city would be making more sense if it is generic lights.

Maybe add some sofa/benches like in often found in lobbies?

 

[Solid_Snake0911 306]

Added some furniture to give a better appearance to the lobby and done... Now available on Stex... Soon Darknite Version

[Solid_Snake0911 306]

Now Available in Maxis and Darknite version
