I really like the billboard! Keep it up.

I forget what a tile is (1 meter) but no matter the measurement each floor is 4 tiles tall.

Alright, here are some adjustments and one HD frontal view.

OK! Thanks for the feedback, I was waiting for some actual tips, and not "thats dope foreal brah", as much as I like compliments on my work. So, I will reduce the window saturation, work on the dumpsters, and adjust the parapet perhaps. Also, the ramp is just a ramp for the second floor offices, not necessarily a handicap ramp. Also, I'll resize the roof junk. Cheers for now!

Hello Guys. I'm starting into BATing again, so I thought I'd start posting my progress on my BATs. Now, I haven't done this in awhile, so as half-decent as the building I'm about to post is, feel free to make and really obvious suggestions- I'm pretty rusty at this. So, here is what I'm working on right now. It's called the Jameson Building. Also my first venture into window textures that aren't just semi-opaque rectangular extrusions.

Something I made up.

The Civil War history museum is my ongoing project. I don't have much to say myself, but put froth any critism on the building.

Thank you again. I must have accidentally referred to it as In-AND-Out Burger, because in most instances, including on the BAT itself, it's In-N-Out Burger. None the less. I'm messing with the textures to see what I can do with a white texture. I also figured out what I needed to do with that pyramid roof- I had used a cube and then brought the top 4 corners into the center forming a pyramid- but one corner was offset a little bit, creating the weird shadow. Much better now. Checking Google Maps for roof junk never occurred to me- that's a good idea. Also, the desaturation of the red is also a good idea, I never fully liked how it appeared in my BAT. I also had been planning to go through my city and take screen shots for reference. Thanks for the tips!

Thats the type of repsonse I'm looking for, thank you very much for that one. Alot of my BATs I do for practice, the only one's I ever plan to submit to the STEX right now are the In-N-Out burger and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. I also did later add a rooftop access to the TSF. I will look into this default glass texture; where is it found? The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory is based on an actual building. You might now it from the history books when many women working in a sweatshop on the 8th floor died in a fire; many of today's working standards are derived from this accident. There are many images on google search for you to reference. If anyone can go back a few posts, and tell me what to do with In-N-Out Burger, that would be marvelous.

Here's my Triangle Shirtwaist Factory reincarnation. It looks alright, but the window textures need work and the textures themselves are missing something. Any and all suggestions would be apreciated. Also, I will be adding more roof junk.

I agree, the roof is very bright. Here is a quick fix (I just threw it in photoshop and took down the brightness). I might think of darkening the white parts in the middle and making it less obvious that it was tiled (tiled in PS with the dark spots applied over that, but none the less a bit cheap looking). This I threw together for fun and practice in maybe 40 minutes. The Bayou Motel. I imagine it some abandoned post Katrina motel. By the way, can some one give some feedback on the In-and-Out burger? Thats the one I'm really working on right now. Here's my progress on Sobchak Security.

Alright! I apologize for not posting my bowling alley here before uploading it. It was spur of the moment, I worked non stop for about 3-4 hours, and Simtropolis was having troubles with Llamas getting into their brocolli while I was making it. I will post a pic here, though it is the spotlight BAT right now so I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a really big way to improve it (I'm only really worried about the windows, but I suck at windows) I will add to it. Here is my In-And-Out-Burger. Like I said, I suck with windows, I need some help with that. I need to add the large sign ontop of the building.
