Reddonquixote's International BAT Thread

[Simcoug]

Whenever I want to be amazed I just mosey through this thread (and your ST one)...

[Aaron Graham]

Wonderful work, you should be part of NYBT team.

[SuperMessi]

Reddon the top of the Chrysler is just perfect. A question: is Engenhão a stadium in real life?

[reddonquixote]

Progress on Engenhão is excruciatingly slow... I'm finding it too much of a chore and it's keeping me away from BATing 'cos I don't want to start something new until I finish something

Chrysler Building is pretty close, I just need to do that last mosaic texture and nightlights, so maybe I'll focus on getting that one out. Engenhão can progress slowly in the background 

Replies:

JP - cracked me up 
CP - hmmm... maybe I am... Engenhão is getting the better of me 
SimCoug - Thankyou! I'll have to pick up the pace so you have more stuff to look at 
Aaron - Thanks buddy! Maybe think of me as an honorary member
SuperMessi - Thankyou Yes, Engenhão is a stadium in Rio. (I started making it for the Rio 2016 project over on ST.)

Here's some latest updates, mainly on the roof:

Wow - the stadium is amazingly detailed! I don't envy you the job of texturing all those seats, though 

[Girafe]

Indeed this BAT looks really promising 

[Vizoria]

I have looked at Reddonquixote's Chrysler Building and there is definitely something eye-catching about it, I can't put my finger on it but it's got to be some BATing magic.

The stadium might seem like an annoying chore to you but at least it's beautiful for me to look at   In all seriousness though, I often find that taking a break from something I need to do but am not enjoying will make later work easier and more productive--besides the extra energy one can think of an idea one might not have before. To put that in context though, I don't feel great about my exceptional ability at procrastination 

The Chrysler Building is on a level that you just don't see often. I'm sure part of that is it's brilliant RL design but I'm tempted to say yours looks even better than that. Always great to follow your work!

[c.p.]

It's a great looking stadium so far.   To make it less excruciating, maybe break the model down into a few/several models, and then merge them back together after the texturing is done?

For God, I lost a lot of surprises from the first week from december
Engenhão is looking fantastic! Maybe it's boring to do cuz you don't really like soccer and it's too big, but you can be sure you're doing an amazing work. We still have 8 months to the Olympics, so you can even release Chrysler, Empire State Building, the Colosseum and the great pyramids thank you
Ok, just kidding. Anyway, I have not more words to praise you so I have to say those things to be different 

[reddonquixote]

Well, I thought I had finally finished all the mosaics on the Chrysler Building but then I spotted another section I didn't see before, so I need to do those before the final day renders. 

In the meantime I had completed all the nightlights, so they are ready to go at least. Here's the preview renders, the first one is Z4 so you can see it a bit better. Please let me know if there's anything you think needs fixing.

Firstly, replies:
MattB - yeah, I'm hoping that's not too hard. I think I can texture them all in sections, if I have to do them one by one, well, I won't probably 
Girafe, Vizoria, JP - Thanks 
Noah - Thankyou! My middle name is procrastination by the way 
CP - Yes, very sensible suggestion. Thanks!

Here's the night lights for the Chrysler Building:

[Girafe]

Nightlights looks good

[art128]

Absolutely perfect, sir.

[Gugu3]

Excellent stuff!!!

[c.p.]

WOW! That's going to be the centerpiece of a lot of cities' skylines I'm sure.

[JP Schriefer]

Why you're so amazing? *-*
I can't wait to replace all ugly Maxis Chrysler Buildings from my cities

One of the most drool-inducing sets of pictures I've ever seen: D  You've really done a great job here.
