Nealos101's BAT Projects

[joelevan]

Wow! That is cool! Well done! Have you had a chance to put it all together in a lot yet? Or is that someone else's job? 

Just one comment...the truck is a little off. I think the trailer is a little too close to the cab. Could you move the trailer part back a bit?

Nealos,
Okay I haven't posted here before but I thought I might now.   This is fantastic stuff.    Absolutely wonderful.   Your attention to detail is remarkable.     I was never much for putting casinos in my cities but, this one I would build.

I've been sent a copy of the truck to work with. It arrived at the dock in the yard behind my garage yesterday:


(Click for larger view)

It was offloaded from the train and moved into my shop last night. I'll be working on it for the next few days and this will be a special that is particular to this lot only. When Neal has the casino lot ready, I will also be writing some scripting routines for it. This is a group project between several BSC members and I'm happy to be part of the group working on it.

Nealos - That truck looks MUCH better! I am SO excited about this lot! I can't wait to see what is next. This is just like waiting for some big grand opening!

[Cali]

that rig looks great. Can i drive it?

[Swamper77]

It's not set to be driveable, sorry

-Jan

[Nealos101]

I don't think you can drive trucks in SC4 anyway... ? It up to you Swamper77... You have already done so much - The truck alone is definetly worth it!

And for the little update, I begin with the gaming floor...


Day - One part almost finished...


Night - I made the nightlighting that way since I don't like vanishing sources of light; they scare me... I wanted to add a "real" tint to the building itself.

The three objects you see that have no textures (Including the one that lights up oddly at night), don't worry about them - They are placeholder objects for the fountain and the sign and shall be of use later on in the casino's construction...

TTFN...

I don't know if this is a model suggestion or a lot suggestion, but a sidewalk around the gaming area, an overhang from the building with lights under the overhang illuminating the sidewalk, big sliding glass windows on the entrance to hall with lots of light. Also make the little pyramid on the top of that building glass...kind of like the Louvre with light. Would it be possible to make the blue sections of the 'pyramid' light up the same way as the hotel and then have the gray part be glass and light up with the same light as what would come out of the building. Am I making any sense?

Let's see...

I don't know if this is a model suggestion or a lot suggestion, but a sidewalk around the gaming area, an overhang from the building with lights under the overhang illuminating the sidewalk, big sliding glass windows on the entrance to hall with lots of light.

For the sidewalk around the gaming area; I'm going to make props that stand in front of the hall's main wall with posters and lights upon them - All manners of posters and everything etc etc. That suggestion is covered!

Big sliding glass doors; we'll see... I have the entrance done but haven't start on playing with it yet but shall show you when I get there...

Also make the little pyramid on the top of that building glass...kind of like the Louvre with light. Would it be possible to make the blue sections of the 'pyramid' light up the same way as the hotel and then have the gray part be glass and light up with the same light as what would come out of the building. Am I making any sense?

Yes; again it depends on the overall effect later - Parts of it already is glass but you can barely see it - Shall jump in and fiddle when I get to that stage. Thanks for the suggestions they come in handy!

Main Entrance

The main entrance needs some light work and some more detailing I know... lol...
