 i exported the joe last night, this is what i came out with...

[bigskelding]

Sorry to double Post but i have a small update on the Joe, it  has been sent off the Jasoncw to had his touches on it, and his work speaks for itself! it should be a good project.

[bigskelding]

Well the Joe Louis Arena has been Lanched on the Stex. just search BSP and it will be in there.
Second i have started a new Project for the CKLW. The Cleary International Center in Windsor Ontario. please leave your feed back i would like to hear from all of you.

Looks so much better than all of your other BATs.

But what is it ?   

Oh stupid me-forgot to read he blurb above it

Hello BigSkelding

The geometry for the International center looks interesting enough with all the curves and gentle arcs. Be aware that curved walls are a bit on the difficult side to lot because Maxis textures are mostly made for square buildings. I am not sold on the cones but you may be able to blend them in with the rest of the building with the use of creative textures? Good Luck.

This is my Progress so far are the cleary and a picture of the real building in windsor ontario.
what do u guys think?

[jayo]

One thing i've noticed is the half diamond shape thing on the corner of the roof nearest is slightly the wrong shape 

But other than that,it looks pretty exellent 

[bigskelding]

Jayo: Thankds for your input, iv done some more work on area of the building, hopfully it looks better now.

This is were im at so far, I did some more modleing and started to texture a bit. the roof looks pritty plane but thats because in RL it is. I added some window textures, what do u think of them so far?

wow looking good here on the newest bat here Big skeldings!!! I would make a suggest that you use image shack to better host your pics... It also by doing it this way saves the resources of the site...  Cant wait to see further devolpment here!!!

[SimFox]

there are few small issues with basic shape of the building. I wouldn't have noticed them if you wouldn't post here the picture of the original, though...
I've marked "problem spots on your picture:

• 1 the lower part of both glass bits (galleries?) suppose to be on the same level. In the case of you model the left, curved one is significantly (I would say whole one floor, lower then another. It is very obvious.
  
• 2 These lightwell "caps" are of wrong shape. It has been mentioned before and you've replied that you done some work on them.. are those renders current? did you save that work?
• 3 in you model these parts appear to be of same width/depth. In real building the difference is HUGE – 4-5 times at least..

All that said you've made a good progress on your model! keep it up!

[Jasoncw]

In addition to what SimFox says, you should count how many mullions (window frames) are on each area of your building, and you should pay attention to the proportions of each window.

One thing that might help, is when you're about to make a piece, crop out the rest of the photo so that you can only see the piece that you are currently making.  That might help you find the details and subtleties.

Big Changes have happined. The Cleary is basicly done, i just need more input. tell me what you think plz!!

[freedo50]

I think it looks good overall, but probably needs more roof junk and a bit more work on the textures (i.e. you can see the repeat on the brick textures).
