Oh great Andisart comments my works! I am not worthy! (Though not sure did you comment my stuff when I was active years ago here). 

1. Didn't thought about making it diagonal, though I'm most familiar with diagonal stuff. I mean, it's why I became "famous" years ago. Usually I just do a blank lot but I could do flowers etc. 

2. Yeah actually I did for that, if people did guess its based on Embarcadecrosgorosogof-building complex in San Fransisco and Google Earth showed it has a sunken area for large AC-machinery and then pipes there and there, but I need to rise that sunken part up, its sunken 5 metres actually and it looks too deep. 

Ok great that you are familiar with it! I would welcome if you add an optional diagonal version since that is an area where we can always need more BATs, I think the community would be grateful for it

Andisart: Diagonal then it will be!

And now to Embarcadero-mock up, which will have Finnish name when ready. As you can see, I've done more for the roof (yes, that is a weather radar because I thought why not have one) and observation deck on second roof, though not sure how big it should be because I rarely have done observation decks. In Google Earth there is glassy coffee room with actual "deck" outside so I made similar thingies. Is that area too wide? My first idea was to put observation deck-area to the "point" of the roof's souther section, where that corner is, but then it looked silly.

Roofjunk done for all towers, don't mind missing textures:

Looking good :-)  The deck and glasshouse looks good at that spot. If you wanna go the extra mile add some details inside the glasshouse.

Which program are you using to create BATs?

Regular gMax + SC4BAT. I had 3dsMax years ago on my laptop, but it broke down and I wasn't a student anymore back then. Good thinking for the glasshouse.

I actually use my old student email for 3DS even though it doesn't exist anymore. I'm not sure if autodesk sends a confirmation email before downloading but I don't think they do.

I see, too bad it broke. Try to get 3dsMax 2011 with your old email, I dont think Autodesk even checks that anymore. 3dsMax is so much better than gmax.

If I don't need to use that email, then I could try. If need that email, then impossible because I graduated in 2011.

I guess they send a confirmation now. Woah they changed it. lol

Yes but you can create an educational account with any email now. It doesnt have to be an email from an educational institute.

Ahhhhh. Makes sense with the way email and email accounts have changed over the years.

Then this changes everything. Going to test that and if it works, then dl it. 

EDIT: currently downloading unavaible for reasons. "Try again in 30 minutes" so I dunno, did they check my status?

adding stuff

How did it go with the download?

Btw, what I wanted to share in terms of roof junk and the like: what I like to do is check gigapixel 360degree images of cities from above to see how stuff on roofs looks in real life and to get ideas for BATs. For instance an amazing piece is the 45 gigapixel image of Dubai taken from Burj Khalifa. Another great source is 360gigapixels.com

Just installing the 2019 version of 3dsMax!

And back to batting because Bat4Max's script still won't run. 

With the ground floors Embardegrgsooosrro goes semi-fictional, because reasons. I did check Google Street View, but for some reason it doesn't work when batted so I've atted my own ideas there and there. 

And those purple walls on the lowest roof, they are one of those "that doesn't work" but it really has those.

[Krio 624]

Just to inform that Bat4Max works now. Big thanks to everyone who helped with it and it indeed was the permission things. 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Oooooh, that sounds good! Glad to read you got it fixed.

Wouldn't have succeeded with ST's fine folks!

But to batting, finishing some gmax projects before bat4max so which texture looks better (low render) light or dark on the walls? 

IMO light ones shows that facade is made of big bricks/tiles better, but dark one is more closer to actual Embardecero Center (I bet that even Spanish speaking people don't know how to f write that stupid name).

Well I like both, the bright one a bit more. But I would say you need to do the color adjustments more towards the end when you have the glass done. It needs to work overall, especially with the windows. So you can adjust them to each other to the best composition later. I would move on to the window texture for now. Good luck

I haven't batted in a while, since PIM-X won't work and "why bat when can't finish the stuff with modding". Sigh.

[Krio 624]

Though I cannot BAT commericial or residental buildings, I realized that I can do parks and stuff because plug-in manager is enough for them. So here is a sports palace / ice hockey arena:

 

(if I release stuff as static landmarks and growables, people will cry about it)

[PaPa-J 778]

Nice building!

[Krio 624]

Uploaded BATs. Old one and couple "new ones" which aren't modded so who wants to mod 'em: be my guest but give credit.

[xxdita 1,097]

I'm glad to see you BATting still, Krio.

Thanks!

And did some texturing and detailing to the ice rink. And the side walls will be easy beacuse they won't have lot differences compared to those corner pieces of front facade. Then of course pipes, AC-machines etc. stuff to the roof.

I like the work you did on this one.

[IDS2 3,346]

If you're looking for help with modding, I would be happy to lend a hand. Mind you, my modding skills are pretty minimal, but if you need basic ploppable lots with jobs, etc. I can make it happen.

I love the roof shape on the ice rink!

[Krio 624]

IDS2:_ thank you for the offering! The basic lots are what I need. 

But now, a new diagonal 3x3 corner: 

Based on a building from Tehran of the swinging 60's which I saw in the Internet. 

[Krio 624]

Or is this roof better one? Doesn't make building to look so "fat"

[xxdita 1,097]

I like the second roof style better, I think.
