Egad! that's incredable! don't ya just feel the completed SimMars getting closer and closer? , don't forget to take a look at the designs created by Bob, Boris, and MI6Ash, and also a few by other designers, HD, and Jim included.

heres a pic of the cult of cydonia reward, work in progress, hope it looks creepy enough!, also my police kiosk is on the STEX as well

[MC6Ash 4]

boy, that is creapy... I can imagine it as a haunted house reward in SC3K. lol

 

keep up the good work.

[orishavit 1]

The buildings are great, keep them going!
Just one note:
Please, don't post every lot you make in the STEX. We do want to suprise them, do we?

[octopus7 33]

thanks for the encouragement, i'll keep the reward and not post it on the stex, as it's designed solely for a martian city, it wouldn't make much sense having a cydonian cult on earth LOL!!, one question though is there someone i can send this to once it's completed (should be in a couple of days)??

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Octopus7, you could post the cydonia reward in the SMars - OD forum, or, if you get access, the SMars - W forum. (At least, I think that's what you're talking about...)

 

BTW, I'd recommend making a solar power plant next. Whaddya say?

 

Good work!

You could send it to me, I'll forward it to the correct people. PM me for my email addy.

Here is a building I started working on today. It would definitely fit in the dome style.

 

 

 

I plan to put trees inside of it but I am not sure if they should be earthly trees or some hybrid that mars colonists created. I intend it to be a sort of park/oxygen generator. What do you think?

 

[octopus7 33]

here's some pics of my finished cult of cydonia landmark / reward, bob, a solar plant, i have a few ideas for one, i might have to start putting some onto paper or BAT LOL

the lot is plain and boring at the moment but you guys can fix it up

all it needs are chains with hooks for when some nosy mars residents get too close evil laugh

[simtrooper 0]

You could try to put a material edit on the domes, then adjust the opacity of them.

[simtrooper 0]

You can use the geosphere object, then choose the hemisphere option.

[gshmails 534]

Looks fantastic so far!

Tragicomicus - Love the look. Maybe it could be the city hall building. Make it large enough to do trees and a path inside, and then repeat the same shape in a smaller version inside. A dome within a dome inthat look would be awesome. If you was to make it a park, maybe make it multi-leveled?

Octopus7 - Wow! What a great landmark! I would suggest that you return to the police and fire, and complete that set. The more sets we can check off at this time the better.

Keep up the great work everyone!

[Saiyanz2000 1]

Wow oct thats very nice keep it up cant wait to c your police stations

[octopus7 33]

thanks for the good comments, i'll start on the deluxe fire station, it's going to be multi-tiered with vertical take off and landing facillities and will be a decent size, i haven't got a clue how to put custom vehicles in the game, someone else will have to do that, i will also be starting on a solar power plant i have drawn up a design for, looks like my real world buildings will just have to wait for a while

[octopus7 33]

yay!!! i'm finally on the building team, so let's get building!, here's a work in progress of my solar power plant, just need to add some transformers and other bits & pieces, i might also put the transformers in a prop pack as well

[octopus7 33]

the mars solar plant is complete, i'll upload it to simmars.net later on, and i think i'll finish my fire series next!

[builderman 3]

Looking good. I've got my hands on the final version. Haven't tried it yet, but the pictures rock! Great job.

[Saiyanz2000 1]

wowowowowowowowowowwowowowow

look at all these cool bats :) also oct have you thought of wat your futuristic police cars might look like i mean you can probabily just create it and someone else can figure out how to replace them in the game not sure if you can do that but hey you can atleast give pointers to the dude who is going to create it

[octopus7 33]

i have a few ideas for the police cars, i was thinking along the lines of the cop cars in the fifth element or blade-runner, and for the police helicopter, a vehicle based on terminators hunter killer, might sound a bit drastic, but i imagine with mars harsh conditions crims would be a rougher tougher lot than their counterparts on earth

[tragicomicus1 99]

Here is a concept I have been working on for a few days. It is a modular residential building. The idea is that it will be modular meaning that you can piece them together in the lot editor making from one to six family residences. Airlocks connect the buildings. What do you all think?

 

 

 

Also I finally came up with a martian building texture that I like, Here it is if anyone wants to use it...

I was browsing around another forum when I found these pics:

[octopus7 33]

dusktrooper, that top pic is unreal, really like the design, maybe i might do something oneday, enventually with it, just i'm trying to work on a few things at once, mainly

3 - the century building from melbourne, AUstralia

Which forum or site did you get them from?

[octopus7 33]

ok, my fire series is now completed, this is the VTOL (vertical take off / landing) fire terminal, i have also designed a fire hover craft which can be seen on the flight deck, i pretty much used the same textures, to keep the series consistent, guess i'll have to finish the police series next

Hi everyone

This is my first post to the ST forums and my first BAT building (besides the tutorial by Phillippbo). I have been enjoying all the creativity around the Sim Mars project so I though I would make a small contribution.

This is a small (1X1) martian home. It is built so it can connect to nieghboring buildings. I am working on a couple of different variations to this building and I am also tossing around to idea of a residential tower based on the design as well as a large manufacturing center for the little homes. Since this is my first BAT, comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

[hummer0328 6]

That looks great!  Expecially for your first BAT.

[octopus7 33]

wow that certainly is great for a first bat, keep that up and the building team will most likely find a place for you!

[meowza 230]

hey octo! that's a really cool looking bat you got there!  It kinda reminds me of the missile turrets in RA. lol!  I also like that flying thingy extinguisher, *whatever it's called.  I hope modders turn it into a UDI vehicle. that'd be so awesome!

 

outdoorsman! whoa! that's really good for a first! and it's amazing that it's also your 1st post. Keep up the good work! Btw, i was wondering, where's your members standing? (did i said that right? you know -passer by, squatter, commoner, etc?)

[Boris225 1]

ODM: Great job, esp. for a first try. We'll be waiting for more I think...

Octo: Another great one out from you! I think this makes you the project's most productive BATTER! Could I get the rear view of the loading bay plz? I would like to see what you did with the other side of the building ('cause I never designed that side and I am really interested).

Meowza: With only one post so far in the forums, ODM doesn't yet have any member label. To be a passerby you need 4 or something...

[meowza 230]

Boris: thanks! that clears it up.
