Holy [insert word here]!

I also saw that preview that mightygoose was talking about in ST, but I never thought that it would be this amazing, BAT is absolutely magnificent and the lotting is beautiful!

Probably the best BAT/LOT for a long time!

Also, it seems that you confused me to noahclem in your replies. Not a big deal but I decided to mention it just to avoid this in the future.

WoW after the Lever House the best BAT in my mind. really Wonderful

Great Lotting and BATting.

Great job on those bats, I know it took you a long time to make that huge building. Keep it up.

Sam Johnson · December 29, 2010, 04:50:54 AM

At first I'm really surprised about all these positive comments, thank you for that

art128: Well I think there shouldn't be a problem to change the ground texture with the Lot Editor

Girafe: The Building is just too huge to render it as one building, so I decided to split it up into 4 parts. The biggest part is the main tower at the center, then the big wing of the building with its two small towers and then the both outer wings. It was also needed to split the building up because, the Lot would have a size of 32x20 tiles, and this way the object limit per lot would'nt allow to create a good looking lot. The object limit is set at ~1200 objects, with objects are base textures, overlay textures, props, teh building and everything else on the lot meant. And with a lot size of 32x20 only the base textures would take 640 objects. So I also splitted up the Lots, now I'm having 3 Lots, one lot has the size 14x20, and two lots with a size of 9x20 tiles.
About the nighlighting, well I did this in 3dsmax 9 with chrisadams bat4max and I used only simple techniques like placing and adjusting spotlights and omnis, like it's done on every BAT

Only for the windows I used the technique of a night library

@ciuu96:Oh I'm sorry that was my mistake. Of course I will avoid this in future

And again thank you all

You have found the college of epicness.

How far are you into this project?

mightygoose · December 29, 2010, 12:00:19 PM

question, what next

io_bg · December 29, 2010, 12:50:05 PM

Now this looks absolutely awesome. Bravo!

deadwoods · December 29, 2010, 02:13:22 PM

WOW, that Moscow University is the most amazing BAT I've seen in a long time. The detail, the texturing, the sheer scale of the thing. Well done.

noahclem · December 29, 2010, 02:18:47 PM

Glad things are progressing

Understandable mistake to confuse two NAM associates from Finland with animal avatars i suppose

mattb325 · January 02, 2011, 02:23:38 AM

Wow! This is a monumental undertaking. Just the massive size of the BAT and the wonderful texturing and detailing...it leaves me rather lost for words

Sam Johnson · January 04, 2011, 09:09:04 AM

Wow, I just have to say thank you again for all these words of praise

mightygoose · January 04, 2011, 02:30:17 PM

typhoon? thats a bit big....

hkboondoggle · January 04, 2011, 04:18:22 PM

Well Акула is meant to be big buddy; after all it holds 20 SLBMs.
Btw Sam this is a great choice, as only a few would focus on the Russian arsenal. The first sight looks epic, just wonder how it'll look in game. Keep it up man!

Evillions8 · January 09, 2011, 07:22:20 PM

Ok, now you want me to go make historical cities now.

Please make more Soviet Era commerical offices / services because we're lacking alot of those! I love that new project!

StanislavSoltys1 · January 20, 2011, 03:06:13 PM

Would you be able to finish your Kremlin walls? I'd very appreciate it!

ivo_su · May 28, 2011, 03:49:35 AM

Whoa this would be the building of Moscow University. Oh look amazing and dazzling. please keep doing is excellent. But in Moscow there are so many good sites that have a place in Sim City .... (fountain of nations and the park around it)
