Monas Jakarta.... my seccond project.....

sarungman · March 12, 2007, 09:22:39 AM

yo! since i've finished with my first BAT, i'm planning to make another BAT..... this time is a landmark.....

It is MONAS.... origin from indonesia..... this building is 137m tall.... and on the top.... there is an obelisk.... radius 6m and 17m tall... and it's pretty heavy...... about 14.5 tons, with flame-shaped bronze plated in 35 kg of goldl WAW!!!

i've never go there before.... so i dont have enough data to build this monument in a real dimension

.....

it takes 2 days to make this builing..... and it's still messed up!!! (because this is my second bat, and the biggest one)

and the hardest part is makin the obelisk for the top of this building

......

i cant make it having spinning effect... as u see in the real picture......

and the last.... texture and detail..... in this time.... i still use random texture to paint my building.... i dont have any idea, what is the right texture for this building.....

also the detail.... i never visit this building.... i just have 2 picture of this building.... and i make this building only based to them..... i ever see this building from tv, but not in the right angle... i'm looking for bird eye view.....

i make all parts of this building manually.... because i'm not a master of this software..... maybe next 2 days... i've already finished for the detail( i'll use my feeling to make the details) .... not for the texture....

btw
does anybody have an iea with this building and wanna help me to complete my BAT?

This doesn't look at all bad from what you are showing us. No need to make a perfect replica you can also use your imagination for the parts that you don't have any photo's.

i agree, add a little something that makes it yours, i assure you, noone will mind.

FromTheAshes · March 15, 2007, 08:11:30 AM

The texture is tooo bright. But I like the flame

pls work on the main texture.

sarungman · March 15, 2007, 08:19:35 AM

u sure?! i also think this BAT's texture is too bright..... hmmm.... maybe i should change th texture.... (i've never done texturing seriously

)

sarungman · March 20, 2007, 07:52:17 AM

huh..... i think i'll delay this BAt project..... my PC cannot rander it well........

but, i have already made another BAT......
this time i make Water Pump and Water Tank.......

still 75% is done.....

hmm..... am i right in the texture?.... i think this bat is more looks like an oil Tank.....

HAH!? this side,.... the wall is too bright??!!! what happen???

what do u think? is that more looks like an oil Tank or a water tank?

FromTheAshes · March 20, 2007, 08:18:09 AM

I could render your old project... Could also search for some textures

sarungman · March 20, 2007, 08:25:25 AM

hei hei hei..... if u seriously wanna help me to render it, let me finish the building first.... there're still few part of MONAS BAT which i have not made them yet.....

FromTheAshes · March 20, 2007, 08:28:40 AM

Well then, go on!

sarungman · March 20, 2007, 10:48:51 AM

sure, i'll continue to build up my MONAS after my Water Tank is finished.......

kwakelaar · March 20, 2007, 04:54:19 PM

You should probably try to tone down the whiter textures, make them a bit darker. The model of the watertank/oiltank looks quite good.

Cali · March 20, 2007, 06:44:37 PM

looks bright

i think it looks more like a ...oil tank?

sarungman · March 20, 2007, 09:09:21 PM

oil tank??? what the......ah..... what's the use of this BA if it's an oil tank??

i think i should re-texture this bat again....

kwakelaar · March 21, 2007, 09:21:03 AM

It might be a question about background, to me it looks more like a oil tank than a water tank, but if this is a watertank in Malaysia, then you are OK. Otherwise you might want to rethink how it looks.

spa · April 01, 2007, 09:21:35 PM

Not bad. You have an eye for the tiny details which is what really separates good bats from excellent ones. With some work on your textures these could be really great. As Kwakelaar has already suggested, the biggest thing that I think you need to do is darken your texture. Textures that look fine on their own end up much lighter in gmax and Sim City so you have to darken them to compensate. As for what the water tank should be, well honestly, from my North American eyes I thought it was an industrial tank too but if this kind of thing holds water in other parts of the world I'm sure it'll be fine.

sarungman · April 23, 2007, 04:52:10 AM

yup.... another project.... after finish with my previous 2 BAT's, i'm going to make another BATs which will take a part in my first upcoming MD

....., there will be 3 BATs; PERTAMINA HQ, BALIKPAPAN PLAZA, and a big Mosque..... and they are fictional buildings, because i cannot find the real pics....

oke first BAT : PERTAMINA HQ.... 21 floors.... 4x3 tiles
explaination about this building will be available in my upcoming MD.....

phase 1

it is only main building...... i think it's too big.....

sarungman · April 23, 2007, 09:43:59 AM

Phase 2
hmmm.... a little update..... i've changed both side walls because it looked ugly before, adding window glasses... and i'm trying to do the roof now.... maybe tomorrow i'll build the base structure......
