I'll take a look. As for RaccoRVA, that's not doable unless you found a post by him.quote> Hey, do you guys still need a post by RaccoRVA, if so then I've found one. On the front page of the forum for the bestest BAT team evur!, SuperChad Productions. By the way, that thread is hilarious, you guys were so mean to poor SuperChad...

Originally posted by: rct3twins Nice pics, the last one with the IFC reminds me of watching CNN on December 31st.Btw: Why the heck are you replying to your own comment? And why do you want your skills be halved?quote> Uh, you people have no sense of humor, I thought the I'm board bit followed by the emoticon gave that one away... although I honestly didn't think anyone would notice that . And that's what the last picture is a re-creation of, the HK NYE fireworks on the International Finance Center.

Hello! Yea yea, no update in a while, well the BAT is taking it's toll on my free time!Speaking of that I've done more work on Hong Kong lately including adding my latest BAT, AIG Tower. Hope you enjoy the update and I've made some moar New Years images too, this is how they do it in HK, just stick fireworks on the roofs of all the skyscrapers! Or maybe even hang them off the sides… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en2Q6VGbdKE And yea, I know there's a little inconsistency in this update with the Cheung Kong Centre, I removed it temporarily so you could get a better look at the AIG Tower. Here are your replies, again sorry about the lateness of some of these. I haven’t updated this in a while because of other my other CJ and BATing. ---PAGE 12---Shanna: Thankyou! I’m glad you like my water effects. ---PAGE 13--- Hijodecordoba: Oh thanks! Good that you liked that panorama, I’d a lot more of those if just didn’t take so long to put together. Thanks for stopping by! Dadyrghluv: Ha, do I? I thought the cars in HK drove on the left hand side and mine run on the right, although good idea, I really should get that plugin. Thanks for commenting. Jacqulina: Thanks Jacky, glad you liked the update. penguin007: Well thanks again! Good to hear, I like the water effects too. rct3twins: No I didn’t, I replied to your comment on page 11, on page 10, just have a look

Now that AIG is out of the way I can start work back on the Hong Kong block pack project, although I don't think we'll be looking at a release now until late Feb or maybe even March because I seem to be spending so much more time BATing just a single building. Here's some of the latest renders for the night lighting on Chung Fook Luk Terrace:

Ah @#$%!!! Looks like the AIG Tower disappeared off the STEX after I updated it to fix some broken links in the description and readme. Once again, the STEX is broken, I wonder if we will ever find a permanent solution to this problem... Sorry to anyone who had plans to download. I'm sure it'll be back up in a few days of so.

Hehe, looks like you got your fireworks off the same site as me... and you even called your images almost the same title as mine, freaky... Anyway, fantastic update, really nice work suplado, this CJ continues to really impress me!

Ah, A friend got this game for PS3, looked very cool. Hehe, he's mastered the easy mode and moving onto the moderate. I tried it, and failed pathetically... but it seemed to be very fun even still.

Wow, that looks really goods! Very nice rural community, I really like the way you've planned out, very realistic. Just a tip, you do that you don't have to take pictures with the in-game camera don't you. Just press the 'Print Screen Key' (The one with the strange letters on it to the left of the key that says Scroll Lock) and right-click, paste into a photo editing program and you get the whole screen, not just a little area.

Okay, here are the first in game testing pictures: I'll post some nice ones in my HK Cj when I get some spare time but for now I'm going to upload this in a few minutes.

Woah, what's up with the new banner! A little strange... Oh well HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's been 2008 for 15 hours now here in Australia (It seems that the whole country is battling hangovers now and the only thing I can think of to do is sit here on ST with my parrot who is slowly getting more and more restless) and some of you suckers in the US, Canada and some parts of the Pacific are STILL partying in 2007.

boon1234: Just seems a little bland really 4/10 Seahawk: Nice city, I knida like the rain effects, very realistic. 8/10 Shadow_prophet: A little Maxisy and repetitive but I love peg's boardwalks so 7/10 The_sanderson: Just looks a little strange seeing skyscrapers in a forest of massive redwoods... 6/10 caspervg: Rate ONE image, but for an overall mark 6.5/10. I'm sure it'll look a lot better when it's done. ak: Oh tath's horribles! Yea right... you couldn't have made that look any cooler if you tried. That’s a 10/10 easily. xlchrisij: Just a bunch of skyscrapers really. Still looks nice though so 5/10 Nerd_guy: Again, Rate ONE image people! You're images are so different that I can't give them an overall mark. 1st picture: 7/10. 2nd: 6/10. EDIT: Where did you get that station with the glass roof?quote>koekie01, I'll help you out, he downloaded it here: http://tadasu29.sakura.ne.jp/bat.html#02

Woah, watch this guys! The IFC 2 just explodes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwmZbgOohS4

8/10, Nice photo editing.

•UPDATE FIVE Happy New Year! 31st DECEMBER 2007•Let's hope 2008 will be a hell of a lot better then '07... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Right, back from my little break making CJ's... Still not quite sure what do about the lighting / shadows issue so I guess we're just going to have to live with that one. As for the thickness of the glass, well when I look at this picture, my glass seems to be about same thickness as the glass outer wall on the actual tower. I know that it's not really solid 8m thick glass, but I'm sure it would take a lot of time to model the framework (that can be seen in the second picture) inside the two panels of glass so I just tried to keep it simple. I think the model is just about done now. Ready to export now and should be on the STEX within several days. CLICK FOR FULL IMAGE Oh yea, obviously I was too busy working on the lighting for this tower over the Christmas period to make more HK block pack buildings... I'm starting back into that now and hopefully I'll be able to set a new rough idea of when it might be finished soon.
