  1. Hello!

    I really like your buildings! I'm wondering are you still actively batting?

    The HKABT hearby proudly presents 2 International Finance Centre V3 2 International Finance Centre, or 2IFC for short, is an office tower located in the Central District in Hong Kong. It is the tallest building of the International Finance Centre complex.

BSC Mega Props CP Vol.2 Installation: Download either the maxis night or the dark night pack. After this, it is recommended to make a new subfolder in your simcity4/plugins directory. Place the .SC4MODEL files of the buildings you want to keep in that folder. After this, copy the LOT files of the same buildings to the newly created folder. Enjoy. To uninstall, first make sure to bulldoze all instances of the building from your city, after this, simply remove the .SC4MODEL and .LOT files from your plugin folder.

    I guess those shadows are on a batted bit T Wrecks. As for the railing, absolutely perfect!

    I agree with cockatoo all the way. I never used 133% scaling in any of my bats. It just looks too stretched (like your model as well, skyscraper) and that is far more important than having a 100% accurate representation in my opinion. Due to the shear size of the stuff I usually model, they don't look as squashed in 100% and i therefor don't scale them. The squashing is more pronounced in smaller bats like my Eindhoven collection. For that reason I've been scaling them to 120% which gets rid of the squashing but at the same time doesn't stretch them too much. I don't care it's against the standard, it just looks better.

    Hello everyone, I'm deeply sorry for my absence lately. I've got hooked on minecraft.. Today I took some time to do nightlights on the Philips headquarters though. It is now almost finished. Enjoy:

    I know that Kellydale. I made sure to keep a distance between the illuminating planes and the rest of the geometry, which minimized the problem. Still you can see some of the mullions lit up on the outside.. I use 3ds Max Design 2011 32 bit for my renders

    well, what i did is ditch lights altogether which increases rendering times dramatically. What i'm using instead in that little test setup is a multi-sub material with 4 arch&design materials with self-illumination enabled and luminescence ranging from 0 to 1000 (0, 300, 700 1000). this material is applied to the ceiling of each room inside the building together with a MaterialbyElement modifier to randomize the light levels. Instead of using displacement maps, i made a box inside the building with the map i normally use for nightlighting the scene, in the transparency slot. The advantage of this is that additional rendering time is minimized but the glowing material seams prone to light leaks.

    well the thing is that I'm afraid that i can't render very large projects packed with photometric lights so i'm looking for alternatives. I also would like to hear the opinion from others but it appears this thread kinda goes unnoticed sometimes

    I'll look into it darn. For now i wanted to present some research results. I was reading about kellydale's new night lighting technique and i slightly adapted my own ideas into it. The advantage of my method is that i do not use displacement maps nor photo-metric lighting. In fact, the only light in the scene is the one from the bat rig. Also the only difference between the day and night scene is that i unhid some objects for the night scene. All materials are the same. Please tell me what you think of it. Does it look realistic, or could it be improved?

    Hmm after a closer look i noticed the pool floor wasn't rendering when the water was in it, hence the dark color. It has been fixed now . As for the floor material, here's a picture of the real thing: I think it is actually pretty close to the real thing, but if you have any suggestions I would like to hear them

    It's about time for another update. I have to confess that my interest in this building is a bit on the low side at the moment. There are a lot of small details that have to be done and it isn't really fun to do. I'm determined to finish it though so don't worry .

    I solved the problem. Apparently, the settings on my graphics card which I had specifically assigned to minecraft only where bugging. I switched the settings back to default and everything is fine!

    I tweaked the 3d game settings of my graphics card, but that was only done for minecraft so it should still use the default settings for simcity

    it's not just that building, but all traffic and dynamic props as well
