Ok so this is the first BAT I'll show. it is Central Committee of the Union of Yugoslav Communists (Centralni komitet saveza komunista Jugoslavije - Ck SKJ), in Belgrade, municipality of New Belgrade, Serbia.

I opted for its original look. The building was heavily bombed during 1999 year by NATO. Today it is nothing but a glass box. For more info on building check its Wikipedia page. Today it is known by the name Ušće Tower (Confluence Tower).

I like it!

[Susaji 523]

Very Cool!

[art128 4,618]

Looks already good!

[raynev1 1,886]

Very nice .

[Delecto 941]

great start!

[libellibicus 396]

Quality

[Adjiebrotot 94]

that was great, i love the simple rectangular-shaped building, they looks like real... and better than ahmadinejaad-shaped building like some futuristic building -_-

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looking good, I happy to see a new thread from you.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

My style of building. Good choice.

[weixc812 509]

I wonder if it will look a little dizzy in game

Anyway, great start indeed

[serggio 12]

Exelent work!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Whoa, some people here seem to like 60's highrise architecture - what a response! However, looking at the BAT this enthusiasm is more than understandable. You're off to an amazing start, can't wait to see more!

[Gn_leugim 853]

nice job

[Vlasky 1,803]

Thank you guys, I really appreciate your support!

Adjijebrotot: Ahmadinejaad building? lol I don't understand

weixc812: What do you mean by "looking dizzy in the game"?

Now I have worked around the lobby - added curtains and some furniture for the lounge, adjusted blinds (level of openness), and added HVAC and also added interior walls. Impressions? Suggestions? Next I will be dealing with some textures (predominantly on the penthouse and other concrete surfaces).

ps I'd like to hear from my friends who have experience in making glass buildings. Any advice my friends?

[Chris M 406]

I love it! It's great to see you working on more BATs, Vlasky.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great, I wonder what you going to do with the Floating roof.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

That floating roof makes the building so interesting!

lol I love the BAT.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Well, the floating roof is supposed to give that impression of floating. I actually have modelled the beams that support it, but they don't show in rendering as they are very much pushed toward the inside as you can see in the pictures:

[serggio 12]

I like how you reconstruct the building. A great example of modernism in Belgrade. Excellent work.

[Darknono35 3,137]

Another great building from you, keep it up boy . I love your work for the windows, and the details for the ground floor

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Oh wow it really does "float". Now it will stay interesting.

The poor building looks lonely in the first two pictures...

[IL. 1,043]

Really good work

[Vlasky 1,803]

Thank you guys!

Brandon: It was lonely for 40 years there. Now it has a big ugly shopping mall in front, but now it's very dumbed down.

Ok, so I've adjusted its height, adjusted ground floor to better fit former reality and changed concrete and (now) tiles textures. Also I've photoshopped it on in game shots of visually similar buildings and something doesn't quite fit ... It obviously needs to be more saturated and more reflective, or am I wrong?

(don't forget to click on images o see them larger )

[art128 4,618]

I like it!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Well, it sure seems to lack some contrast - and saturation, perhaps. IMO, everything looks very subdued and drab so far, even though the model is top quality.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Try increasing the contrast of the ground plane, making the interior floors of your building darker, removing more of the blinds, and increasing the reflectivity of the glass. If the glass's reflectivity is already at 1, then go to the BRDF rollout and make it more reflective there. The chart to the right shows how reflective it is at various angles and you can make your glass more reflective by making graph higher.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

I thank going with Jasoncw just said is a great idea.

Your building is look grand, keep it up.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Do I really need to say anything, Jason already did. But your bulding is harmonizing with Girafe's and Jason's stuff.
