Here is a building based on some of the designs at www.futurebydesign.org  

 

 

Just a draft but pretty cool. I recommend that site to anyone lacking in inspiration for Mars BATs...

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm not sure about my member status. Hopefully it will show up soon . I mamaged to get a little time with the BAT in so here is a small update. I added a small upper story to the house. I think it is pretty much finished but comments and suggestions are welcomed.

I have started working on another small modular home. It is going to have more rounded edges and different textures ( think the trim is going to be copper/rust/green). I am planning on using it to help create a large residential tower.

 

tragicomicus1 - I like the design, I was actually thinking about a similar design for my tower. Can't wait to see some updates.

Fantastico! Bravo, OD!

[tragicomicus1 99]

Thanks. I am very short of time to work on these buildings but should be freeing up some soon.

I love it!  Can't wait to see more work from you.  You should join the SimMars Workshop Forums.  Technically, only project members are allowed to join, but with work like this, it would be no problem getting on the building team.

First, join, then:

up at the top, enter the SimMars Project forum.  Find Teams and Jobs, and request to join the building team.

Hummer: Thanks for the invite. Think are pretty busy busy right now but once things calm down a little I think I'll check into joining the team.

 

Here's a rounded modular home that I'm working on. I may change the textures some and I'm planning on adding some geometry to the sides. Once its done it will be used to create my residential tower.

 

 

Getting the rounded front face was a challenge but I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. As always, comments and suggestions are welcomed.

These BATs look great! This project is coming on well!

[hummer0328 6]

Both those designs look great outdoorsman and tragicomicus!

[outdoorsman03 0]

I am trying to decide on the layout for a residential tower. Anyone have an opinion?

A -rotated

B - staggered

 

 

[Boris225 1]

As it is, I like B) better. Although if it was taller I am sure A) would look just as good.

[outdoorsman03 0]

Its going to be taller. I am leaning towards A right now. I post a pictures once I get a little further.

[spaz25 1]

I personally like them both...if you change one of them's textures, then both could be used...or keep them both the same. SimMars batters are doing an excellent job...I wished I had your talents.

[octopus7 33]

here's my shipyard i'm working on, just needs lightings and bits and pieces done to it, tragicomicus and outdoorsman, those BAT's are looking awesome, keep up the great work


this is basically a spaceship version of a normal earth waterbased ship building yard, except this one churns out small space freighters, that eventually end up doing cargo runs between mars and earth

[hummer0328 6]

Looks great!  Can't wait to see it when its done.

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Cool work, Oc&OD.

[outdoorsman03 0]

Here's an update of what I have been working on....its the dome that will sit of the top of the residential tower.

 

[Boris225 1]

Cool! It looks like you also put a lot work on the interior as well as the exterior. I like that attention to detail!

I'll be kicking and screaming until I see all these wonderful designs done soon. Keep up the great work ODM and Octo.

[hummer0328 6]

Nice!  Can't wait to see more.

[Slabrankle 4]

JG on the new firehouse, octopus one suggestion: you should make the vtol kinda like the orca bomber in C&C: tiberian sun

[renzore 0]

wow the building are really impressive I kant wait till this mod is actually complete great work guys keep it up

[octopus7 33]

WOW!, outdoorsman03, that is bloody brilliant mate!!!, has anyone asked you to join the sim mars building team??, hey builderman! sign this guy up at once!, his work is brilliant, the detail in that dome, easily as good as what you'd expect from someone like somy (japanese BATTER), anyways here's my newest one, Ultor shipyards pty ltd, specializing in the construction of small cargo freighters

[GaryGerbrandt 6]

Cool, OC.

[outdoorsman03 0]

Octopus7 - thanks for the compliment but Somy is amazing. I think I am still a bit of a $%&^! with the BAT but I'm learning. I really like the construction yard. Have you considered adding a materials handling and staging area? Just a thought

 

Heres an update of what I have been working on. I added some lighting to the dome and I have started the base. Any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

[RaccoRVA 3]

WOW!! this is going great. outdoorsman, i think that i like number 1 better. Octopus7, you are just amazing. btw, what is taht building in the aboce post? looks nice...

[octopus7 33]

i took a break from building cyrez systems, and this is what i came up with, 2 lots, the first is a fuel storage depot, which is a 1x1 $dirty-industry, (orange tanks in the pic) and the second is a liquid air storage depot, which is a 1x2 $dirty-industrial lot (white tanks in pics) i just used the standard chemical tank as a prop, but i might design a pumphouse, etc to use a prop instead.

note that the pic includes some of my other BAT's as well, i'm trying to build a sandbox mars city with my stuff and anyone else who has completed mars structures, i also have gshmails blackhole waste and water facility, just tring to get the look that we want on mars, enjoy

[outdoorsman03 0]

Oct - I'm really liking the storage tanks. My only suggestion would be to durty up the textures a little bit and make it look a little more distressed. Besides that they are are great.

 

 

Here's I have been

working on. I think I am going to try to render tonight

[Saiyanz2000 1]

WOW that truly is amazing outdoor man i love the detail on it !!! I think hummer has already asked you too but i am sure that you will find a really good place at http://simmars.simvision.net/invision/ as a batter, I hope you do join..... that deserves rabits

[Slabrankle 4]

hmm, that tower, looks.........odd. great job

[Equinox 1,209]
