Title: SC4fan12's BATs
Post by: simcity4fan12 on February 04, 2010, 02:04:01 PM
Well I'm showing off a little bit of my work here now. First, I'll show some things I've done recently that are completed and all I have to do is release them here-

This one is certainly not my best work. It was intended as some quick and easy BAT to fill up one of my cities. It's a brutalist styled building.

Well, this one is incomplete. It's based on the New Orleans World Trade Center.

This one is Alexandria Tower from Alexandria. I've been trying to perfect this one since I started BATing and I'm currently working on a new version.

This is the Capital One Bank Building from Alexandria as well.

These were some props based on stuff in Alexandria. One is a LM Sign for Louisiana and a park bench from a local Alexandria Park. The others are street stuff.

Something I did for NYBT awhile ago.

Old row homes I did for NYBT.

St. Nicholas Orthodox Greek Church from New York. I did this for NYBT as well. The real one was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks.

Home Insurance Plaza that I did for NYBT.

130 Liberty Street I did for NYBT. 

I have more that I'll show later. Comments welcome on my work, most of that I just showed is finished, but I might do new versions on a couple. I use the sketchup/gmax method so nothing to fancy here.

Thanks for the comments io_bg and puresim! :)
First for today I'm going to show a little more of my all ready finished projects before I show some other unfinished work. Sorry, most of these are from the Lot Editor instead of ingame...

This is the Downtown Athletic Club I did for NYBT.

Commerce Building. It's based on the First Tennesse Bank Building in Memphis, but this version is larger and not really accurate in detail.

This is Alexandria Tower again, the first pic of it in my first post didn't display properly(well for me it didn't) so here it is again. I have another version of it planned to change certain details and lighting and to make the W2W part of it an actuall W2W along with the W2W building with it. The low-rise part of it is W2W, not the tower itself.

This is Alexandria Historic Water Tower in Alexandria LA.

Rapides Parish Courthouse from Alexandria LA. I plan to do a V2 of it soon.


Now for some unfinished works in progress.

Progress on this building that will be a CO$$$ WTC.

A new version of my One Brooklyn Bridge Plaza is being worked on to change the night lighting, scale, textures and roof detail.

A scale comparison with 130 Liberty Street since One Brooklyn Bridge Plaza isn't that much shorter than it.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2F1zpp9tw.jpg&hash=853034c59895ef1e888c97215d196052861779fd)
Scale comparison to the old one. The building was exported in draft quality to quickly compare it's scale so it's not as bad as it looks.

This is still in the sketchup phase still. It's based on something in RL known as the Executive Complex in San Diego I believe. Comments and suggestions on these welcome.

I like the mid rise called Capital One Building. The building facade has a lot of interest and the texture for the roof is good. The rood of the Liberty buidling is nicely done too.
