This is the thread about the BATs that took our breath away, the ones we followed as they were developed, but somehow they were forgotten. The main goal of this thread can be summarized as remembering and appreciating the BAT itself and effort put into it, and maybe getting the feedback from authors what happened and what can we expect in future. There is only two rules for posting here: be sure to list the name of the author and BAT (also include a picture of BAT), and be sure to upload only BATs which progress haven't been published for over year. I went trough one forgotten BAT thread today and found this: BAT: Elsinor House Author: SimFox last update> 18. september 2007. BAT: Blok 20 Author: delija21 last update> 21. february 2008. BAT: Federation Tower Author: SimFox last udate> 20. January 2009. BAT: Palace Albania Author: delija21 last update> 4. april 2008. BAT: SinoSteel Tower Author: SimFox last update> 28 december 2008. BATs: Cathay Hotel & Bank of China (Shanghai) Author: Odainsaker last update> 13 april 2009. [Resized Images to fit within 800x600 Rule Click Pictures for full size (if any) Xyloxadoria]

Fanastic as always. About the Regal Theater, I always loved how creamy it was in color. And altho the limestone facade is spectacular I think it might be too cool for the original color. In my mind, the bircks on the auditorium box part were always integral part of the theater. I would love to see them in the new version as well. Don't get me wrong, new thing looks great, but I would like the character of the original to remain. As for Art deco store, I forgot about that marvelous thing. I would like to know where does the floaing part fits in in the original.

Welcome to the first NYBT International Month is a project of NYBT long in the making. We wanted to give a little bit more of attention to the International style building from NYC and particularly Manhattan. During the month of June we will be posting progress and revealing projects we've been all working on. As a month comes to a close, we will try our best to finish as many of the BATs and upload them to the StEx. As usual, this thread will be a quick overview of the progress, and for more details head over to the each creator's individual BAT Thread in the NYBT sub-forum. Participation in this project has been confirmed by: Seraf, Aarong Graham, PBGV103, Vlasky and Darknono35 (but he has disappeared in the meantime).

nybt-forum-threads NYC = NYBT General Talks
Vlasky replied to Xyloxadoria's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
I really dislike the new design. I think it doesn't relate well to the site, except maybe on the part facing memorial and towards 3 WTC. The view from the Village, to which the whole design is supposed to relate to, is horrible. And yeah, I did really like the previous design, but unrelated to that, this is a really really bad architecture on a really really important and prominent site. -
What is your plan for the interior? Will there be blinds? The part around HVAC does look too clean tho...

2 World Trade Center redesigned One of the most recognizable and beloved buildings at WTC site has been redesigned and judging by the comments on public forums, people are outraged. These are the images of the site with original design: And redesigned: In addition, latest renders show that 3 WTC has lost its spires.- 104 Replies

Since this is a rush release, and you've promised you'll get back to it, and is better than what we already have available, it's ok. But I will torture you for every single detail when you revisit it. That's why planning and and analyzing when you're begining is the most crucial part of BATing when doing recreations. Here is how you set up that copper material:

I'd say, go a bit darker and also there is a thing where you enable highlights+FG only for reflections so you avoid metal material reflecting blue skies above lol I am awaiting blinds and am also curious about what causes difference on the first floor.

I'm going to start from top to bottom: 1. You have inverted the top of the building. The HVAC and water towers are on opposite sides from what you have. 2. Bricks are too saturated and also it is very hard to tell that those are bricks. I'd recommend using Jasoncw's tutorial to create. This is the link: 3. Use darn42's procedural dirt material wich will give you variety on the rooftop materials. Link to the tutorial: 4. For the overhanging part, you have the skylights wrong a bit. Take a look at this picture I took in Bing Maps: Furthest left has 9 skylights. Also, as you can see, and is logical, the metal part is not on the roof, but rather some sort of concrete, and as far as I can see, two types of concrete. I made a quick mockeup to demonstrate material I suggest and there you can see what I'm talking about. 5. Gold material. I have tried and tried every single tutorial but to no avail, than I just got back to the thing I always used for the gold material. It's Arch&Design Copper Material. It looks very gold like imo. Here is a preview render: As with all metal materials, you can judge them only based on their reflections. They have to have something to reflect. And general advice is to always have Ambient occlusion turned on. For things modeled with polygons, also turn on backface culling. That way you give them, well back face All the little things come together in the end.
