    Here comes a building from the neighbourhood of Augustenborg in Malmö. It comes in three different colours, is medium wealth and grows on a 4x5 medium or high density lot. Stats: For maxis night version get AB_MN.zip and for Darknite get AB_DN.zip. Dependencies: BSC - VIP girafe birches SFBT Playground Props by Sam Johnson For the Darknite version you'll need SimFox Day and Nite Modd 1 If you want to see what I'm currently working on visit my BAT thread.
  2. As I am now a member of the NYBT this will from now on be were I show any New York related BATs and creations. First one you might have seen in my BAT thread in the open discussions room: Day render Maxis Nite render Darknite render Some modding and proper lotting is what still needs to be done on this one before release. A new project I have started, are there anyone who can see what it is yet? This is very early in its stages and is little more than a volume study.

    Hello, thought I should open up a thread to show my work here. Everything I show here is works in progress, some more done and worked on than others. First, a residential building which can be found in the neighborhood of Ribersborg, Malmö. A corner building from Mott Haven, Bronx, NY. Row homes inspired from many seen in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, NY A corner building from Astoria, Queens, NY Detached house, this type of houses can be found in the outer neighborhoods of NYC, Newark and other places. Hearst Tower, Midtown Manhattan, NY. For the row houses and detached houses I'm planning to do building families, but at the moment that is just plans, and ya'll know how plans can be like.

    Nice one Parisian! Thanks for sharing. :)

  5. What version of 3ds max do you use?

    anotn replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    You can do that already with the current version, simply hit escape and the render will cancel. Mandelsoft was quicker, oh well now you seen it twice and wont forget. It would be cool to have the whole export process to be done in 3ds Max, without having to dabble with Gmax. I don't know how coplicated it would be to achieve this but I recall having read a Simfox post in the past saying it wouldn't be too hard. (Although I guess that difficulty estimate was for someone who already had rewritten most of Bat4Max. ) I use 3ds Max 2012, as I haven't bothered with upgrading yet.

    Nicely done Aaron, it looks great! :)

  7. Bradley Building

    anotn commented on nofunk's file in Commercial

    Very nice Nofunk, nightlights are stunning, thanks for sharing! :)
  8. It's actually granite, but yes as the stone is now it's too saturated. You should look up Balmoral granite (that's the type of granite used on this building) and see if you can find a good photo to build your texture from, or use some stacked cellular maps, that can produce a decent procedural granite texture. Apart from the stone cladding it looks really good.

    It's so good to have you make these small but oh, so useful buildings, as someone said above we can never have enough of them. But not only is it useful, it is well made too, thanks for sharing! :)

    anotn replied to Dirktator's topic in Simtropolis Related

    It was our settings for the forum that had things messed up, I think I've fixed it now so that anyone can view and post in our forum, just like anyone could before.

  11. Vlasky's BATs from D to A

    anotn replied to Vlasky's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Ooh, it's looking really good. I'm not sure how much would be seen through those windows but with their size they could allow for some pretty interesting views of the interior during nights.

    Nice to see these on the STEX, they are fantastic, great job. Thanks!

  13. NYBT ABBT Manhattanville Project (3rd Pack)

    anotn commented on ABBT's file in Industrial

    With a roster like that this was bound to be great and it is! Thanks to all involved for giving us this amazing pack of buildings. fiver: Pretty sure they aren't but just use the buildingplop cheat if you want to plop them. You'll need the extracheatsdll though.

    Thank you and merry christmas!

  15. Delecto move the mouse quickly!

    anotn replied to Delecto's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Great to see you back. Some chairs and plants and stuff on the balconies and what gutterclub said and Abelia will be perfect. Kamelia is looking great too, I look forward to see more of both.
  16. The reflections in the windows on this last one is a bit bright, other than that it looks great.
  17. Thanks guys. A little update. Aaron said earlier that I should do some alternative coloured versions of this, does anyone have any suggestions on colours?

  18. Chicago BAT Project

    anotn replied to darn42's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    For the falloff map, add two points to the mix curve and make it as steep as possible, something like this. And fallof type and direction should be the default perpendicular / parallel and viewing direction (camera z-axis). I think this is all that is needed. I have been experimenting a bit with this too lately, I want to get max to render a ready to use bitmap for this, but to no success, I have also tried camera mapping, but I don't know how to get the modifier to use the bat4max cameras. If there is a way to use the camera map with the bat4max cameras I think that would produce nice results.

  19. mipro BSP Film Exchange Building (Updated)

    anotn commented on nofunk's file in Commercial

    The nightlights looks way better now, as do the new materials, nicely done and thanks for revising this somewhat old gem and sharing it with us.

    anotn commented on Vlasky's file in Industrial

    Turned out very nice, thanks for sharing!

  21. Two questions about CAM

    anotn replied to Morlow's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    CAM adjusts growth stages for many (all?) lots, I think CAM has 10 stages for industrials where a unmodded SC4 only has 3, and the growth stage property is in the lot exemplar. Edit: Read a little on CAM and this may not be true, but I think it's plausible to explain the conflict.
  22. I really like the new zoning logic, that sound perfect. It is a very well thought through concept and it appears to be excellently implemented. Thanks for making this and sharing it with us.

  23. Iron Horse Hotel

    anotn commented on nofunk's file in Commercial

    A surprise indeed and a great one at that. Thanks for sharing.
  24. Looks better! You could add some noise to the stains so the dirt look less clean. In the picture of the real building you can see some of the seams in the roof, I think you should add that too. Very subtle lines as they are not too obvious in RL. The night lights looks nice.
  25. It looks nice Vlasky, Francis advise is good, lower the contrast on the bricks, the painted bricks could use some desaturation but I don't know if they need to be brighter and the rust looks a bit odd, here you should be conscious about how you place the rust texture what parts of it are likely to rust. The same goes for all wethereing effects on the building. I see you have been doing this for the bricks, it has splash stains at the bottom where it meets a vertical element such as that small roof. However with some of the stains on the roof I feel I can see the brush strokes.
