Thanks Superstar and Lobo!
Superstar - If you're interested, you should make a building for the project

Lobo - I hope you have time to pull something together. Time sure does fly though.....

the building looks god odm.

peeps, i have a qustion, the windows should look orange as i've seen so far, am i right?
so, my main question is, should there be clouds or no clouds on it? cuz when there can be clouds, it would be no problem to color a normal sky-cloud pic orange.

[outdoorsman03 0]

g-funk, right now we are following the following guidelines for windows.
Lower wealth buildings use primarily reflective orange glass. Sunset pics work really well for this. I have some good pics if you need them
Higher wealth building will start using other glass colors. These don't have to have the coulds in them if you don't want.

Hope that helps. Can't wait to see another update on your building.

BTW - g-funk, you should submit your building in the Sim Mars BAT contest since you started it after the start of the contest.

Have any of you thought of working on remaking the Arcologies from SC2K? Those buildings we're quite out of this world, and might prove a nice addition to the overall look of the SimMars project.

Just a suggestion.

The work otherwise, is brilliant.

[outdoorsman03 0]

I have thought about Archologies but right now they aren't top priority. Too many other buildings to get done.

 

Here's a litte something I cooked up today. This is Copley House Apartments.

The design is based on one of Boris' sketches. I have another one in the works that I'll try to post pics of soon.

Wow, that took you no time at all!

I love the variety of colors, also nice to see that you got that roof window!

EDIT: Hmmmm...the night lighting is not working in the ones I plopped down in my city...

[RaccoRVA 3]

Wow Outdoorsman! i really like them. perhaps the red one blends with the landscape a bit, but they do really look great. Keep up the great work!

[outdoorsman03 0]

yeah....the red one was just for fun. I am going to make a few more versions over the next couple of days. If we don't use them all, no big deal. They only take a few minutes to retexture.

ODM, they look really good, didn't take you long to make either, unlike mine which is taking forever!!!, keep up the great work

Outdoorsman, your skills on BAT is really really impressive. I've keep an eye on this thread, i saw your small houses, they are also cool, but this ones is ever beautiful. I love this design. Cool that these multistoreys has colour variations.
Also i love how the lot looks. Great.

Thanks for stopping by Marrast

The team has decided to turn my old terraform facility into a nuclear power plant. I have been busy retrexturing it and here is the result.

[RaccoRVA 3]

Hey! that looks great outdoorsman! It is really comming along. What plant is that for again?

[octopus7 33]

i had a major technical mishap with the broken staircase, the file corrupted and i had no backup!, i've already started work on rebuilding it, and should have it done very shortly, i have also been working on g-funk's container house idea / design, this is what i've come up with for the container house so far, now i have to build a huge tower that holds a few of them, check out g-funks design in the design forum if unsure of what i'm going on about.

[g-funk 1]

looks good octopus

[outdoorsman03 0]

looking very good. Can't wait for another update.

[g-funk 1]

well, i found the time (after finishing half life 2 ) to work a little bit on my tower.
i finished now with the very basic shape.



the part at the top was a mess with my modeling skills .

[RaccoRVA 3]

yes, well done g-funk. I like the curves in it. what kind is it again, commercial?

[g-funk 1]

i thougt about $$$ residental, but i think it could also fit as commercial

[kefka 3]

It didn't turn out too great, but it's also my first finished bat.

[outdoorsman03 0]

g-funk, I really like the way your building is turing out. I think it could be either commercial or residential. I hope to see some more updates soon.

Kefka, I can't see the building but I followed the link back to where the image is hosted and it is a very nice first BAT building. Are you interested in creating BAT's for Sim Mars? If you are send me a PM.

[octopus7 33]

ok this is the second attempt at the broken staircase, when finished (still have too add more details, rooftop landing pad, etc) it will function as a large hospital, the architecture is based on melbourne's (in australia) federation square

[outdoorsman03 0]

great job oct, I love the architecture and the color scheme. I haven't considered using red windows but they look pretty good

[octopus7 33]

except for nitelites, mars now has a hospital!!, i was glad to be able to finish this building after i lost it the first time i done it, but i'm happier with the way it came out, even has a landing pad on the roof , for when the transport team designs some ambulances.

[kefka 3]

a few buildings. c&c?

[outdoorsman03 0]

Kefka, nice buildings. I really like the little industrial building.

[Djohaal 121]

You could turn the copley buildings into a family of buildings, so the different versions would pop up randomly

[outdoorsman03 0]

thats the plan...I just have to figure out how to do it

[kagevrtugol 0]

are these buildings on the stex?
