Burj Khalifa

[rocketoink 3]

All of these towers look awesome, and I can't wait to see the Burj.

But even so, there is one that I can't wait to see...

Mandinat Al Hareer, City of Silk.It is roughly 1 km high.Love to see it on Simtropolis.

Can a BAT project lasting almost 4 years even be possible? Go to the first post and you will find this building was started in Feb, 2005. If ever realeased, there will be a special place in my city for this building.

hi, will the Burj Dubai have jobs? i hope it does. thanks for this work.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

There will probably be versions with jobs. 

[MassHelper 1]

*FLASH NEWS* The Burj has more than 162 floors and will be, as a rumor, 900m tall.... (I ain't lying about this)

Type Burj Dubai into wikipedia.... XD

[MassHelper 1]

In addition to that, there will be the Armani Hotel, commercial stores and offices, and lots more in this skyscraper.

So what's the status on this? I'd love nothing more than to put this into one of my cities

That isn't andisart's fantastic version though. He's been away for a few months before and came back, and besides he said that he probably wouldn't be able to render it himself.

[herbigharo32 5]

Yah, I think this BAT project is long dead. Lives change in four years and BAT projects must go to the wayside....... I am studing BATing myself and plan to start releasing some R$$ duplexes and single family homes. When I get better, I shall go bolder and will consider doing the Burj Dubai :-)

its really sad that andisart not working on the modell at the moment, i hope that he maybe find time to modell it to the end.

maybe someone can contact him?

[MayorTim 16]

Well, it wasn't released in time for me to use it, but for anyone who still plays the game I'd love to see this up on the STEX.

Come on, Andi, don't let such a long and momentous project just roll over and die.

[Dannyboy9876 1]

when will the complete version be released for download?

[patriots_1228 51]

never. we don't need to keep reviving a dead thread with questions that can easily be answered by reading a few posts.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I'm going to go ahead and lock this. Andisart, just send me or T Wrecks a PM and we'll unlock it.

[AndisArt 2,066]

Alright, wintertime is coming and with it the long evenings at home. Time to dust off my 3DS Max and do some finishing on this project!

The status is:

• Modelling of the base has now been completed to 90%
• Lighting for base needs to be created
• Tower needs some plant reworks
• Tower & base need to get individual windows
• Nightmapping needs to be done
• Eventually Lighting for tower needs to be reworked/refined

Since I worked on any models a long time has past and in the meantime many amazing things have been developed here. I saw BATs that made me speechless so fotorealistic they look...

Since my life doesn't allow me to spend so much time anymore than before with this I would be very happy if someone is up for teaming up and making this a team project. I would love to see my model with those amazing Nightmaps that have been used by the pioneers here, and also the amazing TruNightlight by SimFox and his brilliant lighting.

I do not know how to achieve any of the above nor do I have a power-machine and am sitting only behind Max7. So if someone wants to team up, would be awesome!

[Haljackey 17,302]

Great to see you back andisart! Good luck continuing with this project and I hope you find some teammates that can help you. You might want to give a shout over @ SC4D as that is where many of BATters call home.

Best,

-Haljackey

[nihonkaranws 88]

Andisart, as a max user and big fan, I would love seeing some progress on Burj Dubai! Good luck my friend!

[patriots_1228 51]

YAY!

glad to see you back, if not for the work then just so people stop posting "HIII WHEN IT DONE? K THNX BAI!"

seriously though, interested to see the outcome of this

[Godzillaman 21]

I think this ranks up as the most anticipated BAT project...

Good luck getting back into the project. Hope that you haven't lost any talent.

[SimFox 802]

Andisart!! how nice to see you back!

well TruNite exporter would be out very soon, may be this weekend...

But, and it it rather large one... I have strong feeling that there is a confusion about what truNite actually is...

it is NOT a type of light not even a lighting technique... it is visualization method that disables the "sun" type of light and, naturally strong defined shadows it creates and in the case of upcoming release, one that cuts overall export time by 1/3. It also separates day and night into 2 separate scenes allowing you total WYSIWYG control over either.

As lighting itself goes any is possible with truNite. In fact you don't even need updated export script as the is NO night pass as such anymore.

[AndisArt 2,066]

Thanks 4 ur welcome backs Actually I realized I DID forget a few things, but I'll get back into them quickly (I hope... )

SimFox, I know what you mean about the TruNite, that's how I understood it. I simply do not have a clue how to achieve it

In regards to Nightmapping I also do not have any experience but I truly feel the Burj should have it, I just can't imagine going back to standard nightwindows now that I've seen those amazing nightmaps. And in regards to the lighting I was hitting on those effects you achieved with Max 9 and MR (like the realistic water or way the light falls). I tried MR but never got it to work properly and I'm also only behind Max 7 and an old PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated! As I said I'm absolutely open to make this a team project!

I'm gonna slice the polys of the glas to create the windows, any suggestions how to proceed, nightmapping in mind?

[MayorTim 16]

I knew you'd come back, eventually.

[SimFox 802]

yeah... Max7 wouldn't pull it off.

As of making the team project... well I'm personally over my head with my own projects... so at this and foreseeable time I'm not a game, sorry.

But for such a enormous building you would need some 64bit system (both soft and hardware wise)

[AndisArt 2,066]

too bad to hear that    *CRIES

well, I'm going to do as much on my own as I can. I started to learn how to make nightmaps using my Okhta Center model and so far it goes well. I hope I can apply this then on the Burj as well.

[mcarch 15]

Can't wait to see it! =)

[steve187 0]

hey andisart, ich bon endgl

[starrychelx 0]

is it nearly done, btw it has 192 floors it is 1005m and has 55200 jobs irl

[AndisArt 2,066]

no updates yet, didn't have a PC for almost 2 months, now just set up with a new Laptop and Max 9, yahoo!

Won't have too much time unfortunately for the Burj since I decided to apply for artschool (modelmaking, design + digital effects) and am workin on my portfolio until end of march. But have scheduled a few days for the Burj after Xmas.

steve187: Danke, ok wo koenntest du mir den helfen?

starrychelx: what r u talkin about? the real Burj?
