Timos BAT Experiments

[madawac 48]

Twice #2
The darker base texture would make a big contrast between the red facade and the base, to big in my opinion, so #2.
Also the roof texture #2 looks better than #1 because the brighter one just don't really seem to fit with the red (just my opinion).
But at all I hope you get it ready soon, I just can't wait to have it in my city... just checked out a good place to build it

[flrscf 0]

I agree with madawac and what a nice building this is. You have really done a great job on this one timo!

[timo 15]

Thanks for your answers madawac + flrscf! I agree with you both #2 look better to me. So thanks again GLENNI, it's twice the same texture that you posted!

The other roof is to light, the black marble texture is way to black!

Page 3 : - booo, I don't have no pics. Pages 1 and 2 have more images than me it's so unfair. Me want pictures

timo : - Okay, Okay, here you go...

These are the very first pictures of De Hoftoren! Just because page3 needs pictures, and also to get your impression about the general shape... 

[madawac 48]

[:0] That looks awesome! Just impressive, very different (in a good way) and looks also difficult to do. I think I'll let some free space in my city to place it, just next to the place where the Castilia is supposed to be build

[timo 15]

Thanks madawac! I will need to see your region then! (do you have a CJ?)

Here's the latest Castalia update :

Still a few things to arange, but it really looks like final to me... If nobody complain I'll export it next week.

 

Now back on hoftore and arena...

[flrscf 0]

That's a nice builing timo!!! The only thing I could suggest is to add more roofjunk in the part between the two towers. Anyway, nice job Timo!!!

[madawac 48]

I just started a new CJ, see my signature...
Anyway, I have to agree with flrscf, some more roofjunk on the roof of the base would look better.
But still very promising, I really can't wait to have it ingame

[timo 15]

Update!

Progress has been made on the Arena! I have to thank Franz_Ferdinand for improving the roof, he has done an exellent job with textures. This is the start of a collaboration : we decided to join forces on batting stadiums!

Let us think what you think about the new roof :

On my part I have been working on the seating, and thanks to Franz's great texture (again), I have found a better way to make the seats. Not finished yet, I'll post pics later...

I'm still working on the hoftoren's shape (pic above)...

[madawac 48]

Very good improvements on the roof, I like that transparent part

Oh and good luck both of you, timo and Franz_Ferdinand

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Castalia is really coming along now, you must be near to releasing it.

Do you have a photo of De Hoftoren?

[scififan68 23]

WOW! that looks Good!! Great job!!

ff topic: My 777 post

I could not refuse.

 

[canuck3360 14]

That roof looks great as I stated in my CJ I am a fan of your work on those stadiums and this one will look great as well keep em comming

[timo 15]

Thank you all for your comments!

madawac : thanks for posting regularly! These last days it would have been a monologue if you weren't there!

 

Lord_Bertrum : Yep, Castalia is almost done... I just plan to add a little bit of roof junk. I'll try to export this WE. And if you mean real life photos, I have a lot. Last sunday I went around it I took MANY pics to help me, just ask and I'll post some. If you mean preview of the BAT I don't have new ones yet, I've been redoing the initial shape according to my new photos. If you insist I could do a render...

 

scififan68 : good job! You're beating me...

 

canuck3360 : Thanks! I'll try to make more stadium for Rorysville!

 

Sorry I'm still working on both Arena and Hoftoren, but no new update, I need more time...

I meant do you have any real life photo's of it that you could post so we can see what you're trying to recreate?

Hope you have enough!

Hi|It's been a while since I was visited this thread (vacation) so I found lots of positive news when I

     returned. De Hofthoren looks good just like Castalia. Roof texture number 2 is the best one but I

     see you've already decided which one to go with. Hofthoren will be a really masterpeice if you finish

     it. Best wishes of luck.

De Hoftoren looks far more complicated than I thought first
Good luck with it

P.S.: Just posting regularly because this thread became one of my favourites

It's a great thread isn't it.

 

Good luck Timo, I think you'll need it with your new BAT.

[timo 15]

Thanks for your great comment guys! I'm really glad such great members like my bats!

Just a fast reply to tell you that :

- Castalia is exported. Have to find a little time to make the lot and so on...

- I'm working hard on the ArenA, with the help of Franz_Ferdinand. There shall be improvements in the next update, but I'm waiting for a few stuff to be finished... Significant progress has been made this week.

 

I'll try to show pics as soon as I can!

[franky_83 8]

Looks good...can't wait until it's done!

[Alecks 0]

Your stadium look very good.I hope there will be a nightlightning.

I also like your versions of the Stade de France.Is this possible to add a night lightning too.It would be very cool and complete for the Stadium of my pretty country.

 

Merci d'avance

Thank you very much

[timo 15]

Thanks for your comments franky_83 and Alecks. I will try to add night lightning, but because of rendering times I keep it simple for now...

And thanks madawac for making the lot and modding of Castalia! I will release it soon... Here is it in game :

The Work on that stadium work is fantastic timo, absolutely gorgeous (and i'm not just saying that). Absolutely wonderful! Reminds me of the Millenium stadium in Cardiff, a little.

Excellent!

[timo 15]

The millenium stadium... Who knows, maybe someone is currently batting it... New updates of my stadiums will be posted here .

[6underground 11]

Thanks for showing me the light TIMO!! (Millenium Stadium) I cannot wait for it. Kick ass!

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

HOw are you going to find the time to fit in all your BAT projects TIMO?

[timo 15]

Hmm, I don't know, Lord_Bertrum... I suppose it will take ages to finish all these projects...

 

I could find a little time to try textures on castalia. First a picture of the real building :

I tried 4 new textures :

Please vote and help me choose!

[6underground 11]

If i were too choose one i'd say a mix between number 2 and number 3. number 2 just needs a bit more orange, number three needs a little more brown.
