MarcosMX BAT thread

[RadioheadFan 1]

The Tim Horton's on the STEX is alright, but nothing special...I look forward to seeing what you can come up with.

[Spike345 20]

Yes, but we need a new updated one, more realistic jobs, better textures, etc.

[MarcosMX 222]

Nothing special, but this is going to be also part of the AS.

Based on this...

Also Tim Horton is next, so stay tuned.

[Spike345 20]

Thanks MarcosMX, It means alot to me.

[sloppet 3]

wow! Good work there ! Very useful!

[tag_one 132]

looks very cool, I like the bright colors

[MarcosMX 222]

Tim horton 80% complete

Note: this is the first render, there is still some work to do.

If you have any suggestion you want to add please post.

Mmm... well I hate that roof texture... nothing personal, but I'm getting sick of seeing that default Maxis map getting thrown onto any and every BAT. Also, the sign should say "Tim Hortons" with an 's', and any Canadian will probably tell you that that font is not exactly correct.

[MarcosMX 222]

Allright then, I will use another roof texture.

As for the sign, I have fixed that.

Thanks for these suggestions.

[SC4Noobie 5]

Great work Marcos, you put out BATs real fast! I am waiting for this project to be complete.

[Simfan34 11]

Some houses.

[josefmayor 8]

Do you make the entrances props? I would like to have that so I can have a suburban version and a urban version.

But anyways, how about a Sweetbay Grocery?

[MarcosMX 222]

Simfan34: I will start working on some houses next week. I just wanted to finished to two BATs I have showed you.

josefmayor: No i don't make the entrances props. But if you want them, I can make them.

Also about the Sweetbay Grocery, as I said, Next week I will focus more on residential buildings like apartmenrts and houses.

[MarcosMX 222]

Here is the final render, now ready to be night lighted and rendered.

Any comment or suggestion you want to add. (oh my god I feel like Stewie from Family Guy)

[josefmayor 8]

If it's not too much work I'd like them, that'd be cool.

What style of residential?

STEX could use some Urban style single family homes and othern small, also some more suburban residential too. Maybe you could make the first diagonal homes so suburban neighborhoods look more realistic

EDIT: I haven't read your whole thread til now, We definatly need more of thouse houses for our suburban areas

[jacqulina 162]

very nice work looking like the real one

[Glenni 1,444]

ow come on Marcos!that aint so good texture quality,do you want some help from me maybe?

[MarcosMX 222]

josefmayor: Allright, I will work on that.
Good idea. I will see if I can make them diagonal.

Glenni: Are you willing to help me with the textures? If so, just PM me.

Here is the firt model home. It is called "The Sheranton". For those don't knwo what a model home is, read this.

(Im using Maxis defualt texture, but I will changed them. Don't worry about it.)

[Glenni 1,444]

yes indeed i am!sure i'll help a fellow BLaMster!! ill pm you right now!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Hi there Marcos! You've made some really neat stuff recently - I had the first Michael's pop up in my region two days ago, and I like it ver much - your other stuff as well.

I just have one suggestion for the lot design: Instead of placing individual trees, better select "add family" and choose one of the following families:

0x00000050 - random small trees or palms

0x00000051 - random big tress or palms

0x00000077 - random small trees, no palms

0x00000078 - random big trees, no palms.

These Maxis prop families are represented by one and the same prop in the Lot Editor, but when the building grows, the game will randomly select one of the props contained in the family for every position where you added the prop family.

This will have the advantage that there will be variation in the trees and no two lots will look entirely identical at the first glance because the trees are randomized.

If you are not using it already, the Maxis parked car prop family is also quite handy, its ID is 0x0000000F. It will spawn 1-5 parked cars at random positions on the lot, and the wealth level of the cars will correspond to the wealth level on the lot.

Oh, and... keep up your great work!

[MarcosMX 222]

T Wreck,  thanks for telling me that, Im sure I will do this. Thank you very much.

Allrighy, Im ready to render these babies.

"The Sheranton" Remodeled

"The Sheranton" 2

"The Sheranton" 3

I was thinking of changing the brick texture of the third house just to give some variety.
What you think?

Suggestions are welcome.

[josefmayor 8]

That's pretty sweet!

I can get some pictures of Florida Suburbs.

Apart from the southern part, Tampa strives itself on trying to be northern.

[MarcosMX 222]

Apart from the southern part, Tampa strives itself on trying to be northern. quote>

Oh gosh. That sounds interesting, but why?

Another update.

These images speak for themselves.

Sheranton

Sheranton 2

Sheranton 3

That's all

[josefmayor 8]

Everything here is against being southern.

All the new plans for park renovations and everything new in the city is based off northern cities.

[MarcosMX 222]

uhh, but The South is better than the North, IMO. But that's the world.

[josefmayor 8]

Depend on where yougo in the south... The KKK headquaters is about 40 miles from Tampa.

That's what Tampa doesn't want. That's why they want to be like the north, agaisnt racism.

Everywhere I go up where I live (Near the Hillsborough-Pasco Boarder, aka the farms of Tampa and near the kkk hq) all I see are confederate flags. It's ridiculas, there is a lot of racism out here. However in Town there isn't any. Tampa has cracked down on it.

But Tampa city limits aren't very big so... everywhere else is the bad part.

At my school there were 2 racial riots.

[jt_144_2004 0]

you need to add roof junk on those houses, vents, sunroofs, ect.

[MarcosMX 222]

man, those KKK dudes are &@$%@. So my suggestion for you is to, be carefull while driving around Tampa.

jt_144_2004: I already took care of that.

[cogeo 960]

This is really nice work! Keep it up!

[MarcosMX 222]
