BLS Barby's Lot Studio

[kimcar]

Ok thanks for the answer . I knew that i never saw this building 

[BarbyW]

You will in the fullness of time

[JBSimio]

"...in the fullness of time."

Great phrase!  I've got to start using that one more often.  (sorry... I'm a sucker for "forgotten" words and speach patterns)

Back on topic... very nice parks!  I don't know anyone that can get more variety out of a park than you can.

Yea! Oh Great and Glorious Goddess, I love what you did with Lee's Hotel!

Back off topic, "fullnes of time" was a constant gag on the British comedy Yes Minister. When the Minister or his permanent secretary wanted to be non-commital about doing something it was always "in the fullness of time." Oh and the parks look good Barby 

[mattb325]

'Yes, Minister' (and later, Yes Prime Minister), now that brings back some memories of Humphrey's linguistic creative inertia!

As for the object in question: I dare say that the creator of the said, and as yet, un-named building shall, in the fullness of time, release a Final Communiqué to assuage the curiosity so rightly piqued in so many of the viewers of this topic. Anything less would be allowing inconclusive information to which we are not yet privvy to be disseminated without having gone through the appropriate channels; and as well you know, this is a highly discouraged practice.

Oh, and back on topic, the parks and St Davids are really fantastic work! I always find myslef using the 2x2 pieces in park design

Actually, I don't mind if someone else lets the cat out of the bag!  But I'll do it since so many have asked about it...The structure in question is the Millennium Dome of London. I built this awhile ago to compliment the London Eye (just took me awhile to get around to rendering it). Barby is doing the modding and has lotted two versions, one that fits with the park series and another that fits with SimGoober's canal system. This should make its way to LEX shortly...hopefully  so stay tuned!

[Fred_Ginger]

Yoder these are for you 

[Diggis]

My god Matt.  Thats a serious phrase. 

[BarbyW]

As Yoder has told you what the building is, I'll show you some pictures:

The park version and the London Eye.

And, Matt, are you sure you didn't write the scripts for Yes, Minister?

If it rotated, it would look like Gaston's avatar.    Gosh, one of these days I'll have to finish putting my plugins back together.  I still haven't gotten to the BSC holiday stuff.     (dang, Jeronij has some fun smilies)  Nice work, Barby and Yoder.

[Diggis]

That is seriously cool.  My sister sent my parents a gift from the dome.  It was a china model of the dome, with pencils for the... ummm..... what ever they are.  Had to be one of the weirdest souviners I've seen.  But now I get it.

[Yoder7652]

the yellow poles are to support the roof...using pencils is sortof cleaver. My first version of this actually had ALL of the accompanying support wires, but when I rendered it the first time I decided to get rid of them. They were very small (in terms of Gmax meshing) but they showed up huge on the rendered model...making a large white blur above the dome. Ahhh, SC4 never did like detail 

[M4346]

Ironically I was searching the STEX for the Dome about a day or two ago, and, in good Yoder and Barby fashion...

BAM!!!

Here it is, ready to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting devotees here at SC4D!

It looks fabulous, and I am glad, no, over-joyed to see this having been done.

Although, from my understanding, the RL Dome is facing a bit of trouble... Oh well, no reason for it not to live on in grandeur in SC4, thanks to Yoder! 

Great work with the Lot too Goddess! 

[jmyers2043]

What caught my eye were the large round grass areas that the trees are sitting in. Rather than using the Maxis Dirt Circle. The lot compliments the building. Thanks for the sneak peak.

[kimcar]

  Thanks for the pics. This is an awesome bat you have done Yoder . Very great one.

[bat]

wonderful pictures! The London Eye looks very nice!  and great building!

Support the roof?  The look like they are a little longer than necessary.  Probably someone scaled a dimension wrong on the drawing.

Client: Why are they so big?
Arch: Those... umm... design feature, form follows function and all that... yeah

Later that same day,

Arch: What the hell happened here!?!
Drafty: Ummm yeah... sorry I dimensioned that at 1:100 instead of 1:400, my bad.  Looks interesting though

[Cali]

im sorry i haven't gotten to comment on your stuff, but everything looks beautiful, you defietly know how to work LE. thank you for sharing

[Gaston]

You know vab423, you are right.    If it spun it would look like my avatar.   LMAO      Isn't that the builbing in that James Bond movie from a few years ago?
