a first bat?

 

its my first proper bat i have made uless you count phillpbos tutorial one. i couldnt get nightlights because i have some glitch or something and when i zoom to 1 or 2 it 'makes a wierd box' going to down load maxis patch later.

 

any way how is this?  http://img498.imageshack.us/img498/1722/cyertowerbat6bw.jpg align=baseline>

 

 

 

 

(the windows are a bit grey for somereason, i used a cloud texture and set it to 65. i think its the black background that makes them look grey. the bridge is too made of glass. and it looks kind of basic but as  i said its my first bat.

Ok:

1.) Most windows *are* moslty dark-grey. Your window textures are fine: The color is okay.

2.) Considering the height and size of the windows, your towers seem a bit... narrow?
You might want to either make the window texture repeat (in the vertical axis) more, so that the floors don't seem so small.

3.)The Helipad is not detailed enough, and because of it's size reletive to the rest of the structure: seems out-of-place. I'd suggest either you remove it or make it smaller, or somehow integrate it with the rest of the structure somehow.

4.)Use the Maxis asphalt roof texture for the roofs. It goes a long way towards realism.

5.)I think you might want to make the sign smaller, proportion seems to be the biggest problem here.


ok, I hope I didn't scare you off with that. I tried to be technical. It is your first BAT, and I know what that's like because I've been there too (Nothing seems to make sense when you first start out)


BTW: You can make regular omni and directional lights into nitelites (that only show up at night) by just changing their names from 'Omni 1' or whatever to 'nitelite 01' (01 can be whatever number you want)
There is probably a tutorial somewhere around ST on these things. In fact, I'm sure of it.

good first bat

Ok, some good points here. But my question is where is the entrance to your tower block? What about a few lights around the edge of the Helipad? Keep up the good work better than my first efforts.

Well its good for a first BAT but what is it supposed to be?

[jackel.22 3]

well im hoping to create another few bats, basically:

this is the cyer innovations tower, hi teck

then there is going to be the secret cyer testing and plasma firing center industry medium

and then the cyer distribution facility again industrial medium.

 

basically the bats create a 'complex'

 

then i could add things like specialised cyer airport etc.

 

note:cyer is going to be a sort of a massive conglomorate. consisting of different comapnies in different sectors.
