G'day people I decided to show my work here
This is my first BAT well this is actually a v2, as I discarded a first version made with GMAX, anyways the building in question is the Autonomous National University of Mexico main library. This building dates back to 1950 and forms part of a group of landmark buildings that make the campus a World Heritage site. The facade of the building is covered by beautiful murals made of colored stones designed by Juan O'Gorman. There are also figures with indigenous themes embedded in the rock walls.
Anyways on to the BAT, well I think the modeling is done, and most of the texturing I just need to add trees and make the night version. Drop me a line

Looks great. Keep it up. &apls
Aww this is phenomenal.
Keep up the very great work
Thanks for the comments Aaron and Peter007.
Peterycristi Thanks I am also working in the Rectoria tower just in front of the library we will see what comes after that :) maybe I will try the Humanidades tower just across...
So here is an update on the library

I have also been working in the Rectoria tower from the same campus, I had to take out some details as it was getting to much for my computer...anyways most of the modeling is finished, I need to work in some of the textures, add roof junk and model the lot. The building is sunken in reference to the street so there is a plaza that gives access to the main entrance I have decided to I add a DRAFT of this plaza to see how could it sit in the lot...

Thanks Peter the squares are based in the real life lot...so I can't do much about it :)

QuoteLibrary: working on the nightlights
Library? that is one spectacular building. The light treatment to the roof elevator mechanical room is a bit on the hard side but that's a quibble for sure.
Good Luck
- Jim
Excellent buildings, I really like the textures you used on the floor, it renders very well.
Guillaume :thumbsup:
&apls
The UNAM library is a great piece of latin american modernist architecture and your recreation is excellent. Those murals are really interesting. In the night render maybe you can set back the lights somewhat from the wall so that the border between lit and unlit areas aren't as sharp. I think that would make it look even better and correspond better to the real lights of the building.
Good job &apls
densify your foliage,
you desaturate too much you green color for the trees
click rignt on your trees,
object properties,
return black option
your result will be better (more contrast)
[Speechless]
-Ernst
Jim: Thanks for the kind words! yes, ugly night lights hope it is an
Guillaume: Thanks very much
antn: thanks, I have been playing with the lights a little bit, took rid of all those ugly lights and change to Photometric ones, I have been playing with the setting during the weekend, hope they look better.
Girafe: I am using the AEC Objects with density of 1, can I make them denser? or would you recommend me a different technique for making my trees? (I just don't want em to be to heavy as I don't have a super machine). I used the return black options and the results are pretty good.
Peter: Thanks for stopping by, great work with that plane!
Here a small update (I think I finished the library, unless someone has something to say! :))

as I just said feedback is always useful!!
Great Progress. I already saw your buildings at the STEX.
If I may add something to your buildings?
I would make the roof a little bit busier.
Not the upper roof that one is realy fine.
-Ernst
Very interesting projects. &apls
The fourth picture this building that you want to do this is the version W2W is a plot 1x2 tile next to the parking lot? Because it is difficult to figure out this photo of a building it :)
I like the most this round building on the last photo. Look forward to its completion.
In any case a good job. :thumbsup:
Best wishes.
Ernst do you mean also making the library roof busier I try to keep it as close to the RL thing as possible so I don't know what more to add, so if you have specific suggestions they are more than welcome, here is how it looks in from google earth
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1102.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fg441%2Fharishna%2FUNAMrec.jpg&hash=f92306dced1d58f7e22557809f3a8036b53701c8)
regarding the small shops I guess I will try to add more stuff and make it a tad darker overall.
Hmm yes you're right there isn't very much on the roof.
But in simcity4 you have 1 view and that's the perspective view. Which will uncover your whole roof.
And that's a problem I guess, because the roof will look a bit ''bland'' (in the empty way) . So maybe you could add some dirt or a bump map.
Or maybe some water splashes around from the last rain. It will eventually hopefully make it better.
Nevertheless It's a great building with great adds! &apls
-Ernst
peter007, You could be right, it may need a little of duty ness. :D
So I asked Girafe about his lovely trees and he kindly offered to contribute to my UNAM library BAT by adding some of his beautiful creations. So before I hand it to the more capable hands of Girafe I decided to showed it in its current state. Not much has changed mainly the roof textures I change the tone (redder now) added more contrast and added a bump map. I also added a couple of details here and there like the access ramps...
So speak now or..

"ok, I'll shut up if you upload this soon."
Wow, that is what I call great texturing and modeling, superb.

Yes this is what I mean. Your roof texture is now excellent.
I hope you will upload a picture with those beautiful trees soon.

Fantastic work!!! &apls &apls
Really good work &apls &apls
for the parking I would say that lotting is better than batting entirely the LOT.
Moreover the cars are not at the level of the rest, check free database like skp for better models.
Excellent BATs, I particullary like the last one &apls

Wow those trees are awesome on your last building
The garden is so great.

Lovely recent stuff Harishna! As I said on ST I'm not going to use all the W2W, it will not fit my MD's theme, but the VIP restaurant and the Madero47 are great!
Also the last complex is incredible as well!
Yep, I am here and can work on the trees as soon as I get the model :)
