Hello. I'll post some pics of my bats in this thread. I'm not creating bats for a long time...that's why I look forward to some comments and suggestions The streetball court I started some days ago is finished by the way. I was busy though but I try to upload it later! This is my latest 'project' : Palmetto Tower - a fictional tower. I'm not happy about the night lighting I added the lights for the first time... I gotta improve. Screenshot: What do you think?

Could you attach a preview render?

The storefront is really nice Keep up the good work!

Originally posted by: Jasoncw When you make your lights, there should be a check box somewhere that says something like "cast shadows" which you want to check. Otherwise, light will "leak" all over.quote> Sorry i can't find the box. Could you show a screenshot?

What do you think? Roof junk will come soon. One problem: I want the small windows to be beige/yellow over night but the signs should stay orange. Is it possible?

Thanks!

I got a problem. Whenever I do a preview render / render it doesn't show the whole building ( if the object reaches a certain size of course; small houses ain't a problem ). Example: Hope you can help!

I'm going to edit this message later!

I love the Waterfall Casino. The windows are simply amazing I look forward to the final building! Oh the Administration Building is nice too!

BAD NEWS: I just tried to open the office building file and an error popped up. I'm visibly annoyed... File Open Failed: C:\...\...\My Sim City 4\officebuilding4 quote> I guess I'll start a new building ... but if anyone knows how to fix the problem please tell me.

Great work! I love Tampa

Thanks!!

Sorry Jason I can't find it

The 'Lesson on lattice' tutorial says that I have to check 'Display mesh' but I can't find any 'Mesh Settings' rollout Yoshiisland, could you tell me how you managed it ? I also cleaned out my plugins folder but the error's still there.

Here are some photos, Jason. Sorry if they don't help.

Jason: Thank you! Okay I'll do that and show you some screenshots later SimRabbit: Thanks man i appreciate it! Your buidlings are great, too. Here's the update: [i'll create the remaining nightlights later]

Sorry guys I won't continue with the Bayshore Hotel for the simple reason that I don't like it... But here's a new one: it's an office building . There are offices at the top and some shops at the bottom of the object. Height: 108 ft (33m)

Good job Maybe add some furniture and it's gonna look pretty cool!

Did you add the UVW Map modifier?

It reminds me of the Library Tower (L.A.). Great job

Thanks for your comments! SimRabbit, i didn't forget the door/entrance It'll come soon. Jasoncw, yes I'll work on the design. It lookks too plain right now. jacqulina, thanks! SimFox, it's not done yet. XSpiderman, thanks and I'll do that. Shabby looking buidling: I 'll upload screenshots of the current Bayshore Hotel later! EDIT: I don't think it looks really good...but oh well... I'll definitely edit the entrance. And you can also see that there are some texture problems (the roof).

Update ( new window textures, roof junk, and some graffiti): EDIT: ....And another one: Bayshore Hotel BAD QUALITY

Very nice!!!

Originally posted by: SimFox Your preview comes out so small cause it is scaled to fit the dimensions of your screen. If you have a wheel mouse you can click inside of preview image and rotate the wheel to make it bigger or smaller. Problem would, however remain! As Preview window doesn't have any save button, and any screen grab would, as name suggest, do just that - grab what is currently on your screen, and unless you have absolutely top of the range display system you wouldn't be successful in getting it t 100% size of Zoom5. Such a function could be scripted though... But 5000 pixels?? 100m would be about 500pixels (497 pix to be precise) So you structure would be about 800-900 m tall? quote> Yes you're right. I definitely had some problems with the height...the unit setup was also wrong back then. I started something new - it's a shabby looking multifuntional building (shops and apartments). I hope you like it. Screenshots: And as soon as i know how to fix the problem with Greg's Store it will be uploaded if you like!

Originally posted by: DarkEldar Looking good your improving fast. Might i suggest that yo try to make the roof texture a little less busy because it takes away the rest of the model.quote> Thank you! Update: EDIT: I just exported the building but there are some problems: the nightlights don't work and you can't see most the props (the streetlights are visible though) Update 2:
