Awesome ... the roof is plain , but you'll come up with something  :)

This is coming along nicely. You have some nice details. I agree with that the roof texture int's really there yet. I think the yellow window frames at the base could also be toned down. They draw the eye too much. I think a slightly more washed out yellow would be better. Anyway, it's coming along nicely.

Hello Peterycristi

Wow! This is a good start and I am glad that you posted some progress pictures here at SC4 Devotion.

I can see that you have a good technical understanding of gmax and I like all the small details you've done to the front. I like the columns, moldings, balusters, and dentils.  I like the block texture that you have on some parts of the front facade on the lower four floors. There are other parts of the front that look flat gray. You should consider using that same texture for all surfaces - or - attempt to use a gradient on those gray surfaces (if you have a paint program such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro).

Andreas said a long time ago, at another web site, that Sim City is a roof top game. But making a good roof is difficult. Those who have limited artistic skills or lack a good paint program should consider using gmax to compensate by either using roof junk (air condition units, elevator maintenance rooms, duct work, ventilation, skylights, etc.) or use artistic license and change the roof to a gable, hip, or mansard roof where you can add interest by introducing interesting shapes and corresponding textures like tar paper, shingles, slate, or terracotta tiling. 

good luck

Hi folks,

I think i'm definitifly posting too much  :P.

Anyway, some questions to you all. I like that kind of mosaik for the roof terrace, what do you think?


there are still some changes in some textures and details i need to do. What do you think about the marked roof down in the picture? Should I do it or not?

I also marked the part of the roofterrace...


thanks for all your very nice comments!

For all who are interested in the earthquake of 1985 and the destroyed Regis see this video on youtube: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=qLOCOP6UyC0

You can do the roof terrace but try to make it to not cover the entrance view of the building, you can make it "short"

As for the roof side, I agree with tcx, you can do the regis sign hotel  ;)

Or otherwise you can recreate the hotel as it was beginning of XX century..


Oh btw many other buildings like Hotel Carlo collapsed that day.. you can see this other video... And a mine uncle died that day in a hospital that collapsed &mmm

Ho folks,

today just a little progress. It's just a preview on how it's going to be... I will still do a lot of changes in the roof section, especially the Regis-sign needs to be more little.

@Heblem: I'm very sorry for your uncle. For luck my family didn't loose a member that day. Also thanks for the video.



saludos... especialmente a mi querido México

it is a great creation! but I think you should really use Helvetica or other sanserif font for the name...

Hi folks,

Heh, what a coincidence! I was just talking to Nardo69, and he said that the Maxis $$$ streetlight doesn't look that great in areas like on the pic below. Your streetlight should fit much better.



(And yes, I used a mod that completely replaces all Maxis trees - more information can be found in the SFBT Creations forum. :) )

Nardo69

hi peterycristi!  :)

yepp, we both agreed that this nice little gem would be a perfect replacement for that horrible pseudo-barocque double headed Maxis lamp for the rich areas - don't know what's worse - the maxis palms or that lambpost *shiver*

As an alternative there are lamposts with a circle where the light is placed inside...  ()stsfd()

Take care and don't forget to make backups

Your BATs are very pretty! I love all the detailing on the facades.
