i want to import a figure from poser into BAT. when i do the figure has a poly count of 30,000+. is there a way to reduce the polygons of the figure?

Originally posted by: T Wrecks Hm, it's a beautiful building, but not really suitable for diagonal lots, don't you think? It's no problem if you take a building that's already been chosen by others if you don't find another suitable one.quote> Doh!! It does have a square bottom doesnt it? My mistake. I'll try the Marina Residence by skyscraper then.

Im going to try the Oceanic Tower by ks_JPN https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15731

i am trying to animate a prop using denhams tutorial and i became stumped on a situation. in the tutorial he extracts bitmaps from .fsh files at various zoom levels. the prop im using is on a 6x6 tile. when i go to extract bitmaps from the zoom 3 level the images are chopped up. by this i mean that each bitmap has a partial image on it. in the tutorial it says to extract bitmaps from files with the last numbers being 300, 310, 320, 330; with the first number 3 being the zoom level and the last two numbers specifying the direction of the render, south, east, north, west. now, im getting files with the last numbers being 300, 301,302,303...310,311,312,313...etc,etc. what can i do to get these images into one? i thought about extracting each bitmap and piecing them together in photoshop then sizing them to the correct size but i dont know if this will cause the animation to jump. anyone that can help me on this will be appreciated. thanks in advance.

id like to reserve numbers for base and overlay textures please. thank you.

I did a few buildings at the beginning of the year and then did nothing until recently, so now I am having to start over from scratch to learn this program. I went through the Lot Editor and listed all of the lots and organized them by lot size. I decided to start with the 1x1 lots and work my way up, hopefully learning as I go. So far, I have completed 9 lots. They work as plops but I havent tested them for growth yet. Anyway, I have done 2 sets for each lot: modern and sci fi. Feel free to critique.

thats a really nice texture.

that looks cool.

holy cow!! these buildings are excellent.

I use.jpg because i dont want to clutter my hard drive with large files, plus I make different textures by using the same texture over and over but change the hue and saturation. I read in another thread where someone was using.psd and wondered if it made any difference in the clarity but ive been to lazy to experiment myself.

id like to request a reservation for instance numbers. also, do i need special instance numbers for models and custom querys? thank you.

my nutty little buildings can be found here: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=71324 i have a few that need testing for growable. and so theres no surprise i dont make modern/realistic BATs

I plan to work on that after I have all the base pieces I made. I have seen the color of muddy water (having lived through Katrina and Rita) and this looks very close to it. quote> thats cool, i just noticed a few people commenting about it and thought id make a suggestion, if youre happy with it thats all that matters. were you in new orleans when katrina hit? man, that mustve been horrible. i live in tennessee and one night i tattooed a guy that had been there when it hit, he had some sad stories to tell.

Having the ditches in a separate file will give people the option to install them when they want, on the other hand some may want them in one DL. In the last image, it looks like your end piece and your corner piece textures dont match the straighter pieces, but it could be the shadowing in the game, or ive been awake too long lol. it all looks really good so far though. As far as the water color goes, I have never been to LA or seen anything like these in RL so I wouldnt know what it looks like, but maybe a deep aqua/greenish brown or something, I dont know really. If I can be of any help let me know.

i dont have any idea what would cause your problem, sorry i couldnt be of any help.

T Wrecks: Thank you for the compliment, I know 90%+ of the Simtropolis community focuses on realism so I wasnt sure how well these would go over. I love science fiction, so I thought I would try my hand at it. My plan is to do a complete tileset so that I can build a future city eventually. Maybe sometime down the line I will switch to modern buildings but for now Ill leave that up to the rest of the community. CDI_spy: Im glad you like them, there will be more to come soon, I hope. Odd: Thank you for the comments, I visited your thread and was in awe, thanks again.

the small ditches look cool running through the nieghborhoods.

your gaming skills are amazing.

Well, while clearing out my documents folder the other day i deleted all my old BAT files, so I started over and here is what ive come up with so far.

do you have the object selected? the apply button wont light up unless you do.

at the bottom of the screen there is a magnifying glass, underneath it in your screen shot you have a symbol that looks kinda like this: >. click and hold and you will see another magnifying glass. choose it and make a selection around the object you want to zoom in on, the object should then fill the viewport.

press print screen, its next to your F12 button on your keyboard. open a graphics program and paste it in there. resize it to 800x600, save and upload.

wow, youve come along way with this, looks cool. some turbulence where the inlets meet the main stream would look cool.
