Ok, I looked at Simfox's trees, and I'm guessing I should make mine a little lighter, and slightly more saturated?

Hey everyone, after about 8 months of sitting nearly finished, and not rendered, I decided to open up my Los Angeles City Hall and take a look at it. I've been fixing it up a bit, and getting it ready for an actual final render. I think I'm done with everything, nightlights included. Here's a preview of it right now, I may still make some small changes to it. I'm not too sure when I'll have time to start the render, but it shouldn't be too long.

I restarted working on the city hall a couple weeks ago, it's actually been done for several months, I just never got around to rendering it . I'm glad I waited, because taking a look at it recently, I spotted things I wanted to change or add. I know I've said it a hundred times before, but you can expect it within the month.

Hey everyone, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I really haven't had much time to work on these. I'm finally pretty much done with Two California Plaza, and once I make a few small changes, it'll be ready. I'll probably do a final render of it tomorrow, and upload soon after, but here's a image of it in game, this is pretty much it, just need to fix minor things. As for City Hall, that still has a ways to go, but I have been able to make some progress on it in the past week. Mostly what I have left to do is small details on the back of it, some texture work, and night lighting, but I wouldn't expect it until after school ends (second week of May?). Anyway, here's a recent render of it. After I'm finally done with these, I'm not sure if I'll be starting any new projects. I know there are still plenty of great landmarks around the city that I'd like to make and people want, but I think the most I'll be doing is maybe importing some of my old buildings into Max and updating them. If I ever find the time, maybe I'll consider something new, but probably not this year. Anyway, any feedback on these would be appreciated, but I think Two Cal is complete.

Looks pretty good so far, keep it up! I saw you mention no city hall, I'm actually working on it, you can see a preview in my BAT thread in the open discussion section.

I can't answer your question as to why both windows don't open, but to stop you render early just press escape, and x out of the preview render.

I'm not certain, but I'm guessing you might need to re-fit your LOD's. In the utilities tab where you export, preview, etc., click parameters, and the Re-Fit LOD's. Hope that fixes it.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! SimFox: As I was going to use your method to fix the colors, I noticed that all the rgb values had been changed after I pressed of in the gamma setting window. They were as bright as in the render, and it didn't come out right. No problem though, because I think I got them relatively close to the originals: I still have a little work to do to get them just right, but it shouldn't be a problem now, I'm just glad I was able to fix the lighting before I uploaded, thanks for the help. As for the City Hall, I'm still playing around with it in Max and reapplying textures, but I think it's turning out pretty good, here's a quick render I did just for fun: And a photo of the real thing for comparison: Anyway, I don't think I'll get any of these out before I start school, so I'm not sure on any release dates.
