It's not the definitive LOT and nightlight ;)
The other tower in construction :

And other are coming :P
Oh too many lights (or too bright)!
Yeah, lighting is too bright. But otherwise looking good tower and waiting the rest of them.
Yes I know the lights are too bright, it's why I said it's not definitive
I really like the window reflection texture and the way the roof is batted. Looking forward to see more of this great project. :thumbsup:
great model. just be yourself and have fun with batting.

This one looks very nice. I love odd shaped buildings. Have been able to fix the night lighting on the first one, la tour Initi? I really like the roof on that one, very dirty.

Another great model from this project ... this would be a great building to use as a "diagonal lot". I am keeping a close eye on this project ... :thumbsup:
Cool ! Keep going! Now, we need Elf, Areva and Défense 2000... Bien joué !!!

Antoine,
I really like this building. I have only a small issue with it. Does the roof slope down from left to right in the pic? Or is this an optical illusion? If it does then the half moon shaped structure on the top of it needs to be slightly taller on the right. If everything is level (flat) then something is deffinately off.

Antoine,
Le dessus du bâtiment ne semble pas correct. Le côté gauche semble plus grand que le côté droite . L'angle semble incorrect. Il est comme s'il y a une pente très forte sur le toit.
Antoine,
The top of the building does not seem correct. The left side seems larger than the side right-hand side. The angle seems incorrect. It is like if there is a very strong slope on the roof.
---Gaston
Gaston, this is correct, this buiding has this sloop on the roof in RL.
Antoine, maybe Tour Initiale isn't finish but it already looks great :thumbsup:!!
The 2 others are just wonderfull &apls. Looks like I'm gonna add some more posts in my French buidings list ;D, that a very good news.
Do you plan to add the buiding in front of the CNIT which house the 4 Temps mall (call Elysées La Defense) ?

No I am not French. I was enrolled in several French classes while in college. I really haven't had the practice to remember the language well. I can still read French fairly well.

Know that i make all my BATs in the right size: a tower like Granite is about 183m. So in the BAT i made it about at 183m hight. ;)
Thank you for correcting me $%Grinno$%...
Do you plan to release all of the 6 towers in the same time ? Do you plan to BAT the two big projects : "Tour Phare" and "Tour Generali" ()what()?
We'll release all tower one after one because Granite is not totaly finnished and maybe somebody wait these towers ;)
( moi et l'anglais, j'ai parfois du mal $%Grinno$% )
About Phare and Generali, making tower from a "rendu" and not from the reality is hard because in reality the BAt can change.
Look Granite, I made it when it wasn't totaly finnish and today, the roof is not like the real tower.
A propos de Phare et Generalis, faire une tour à partir du rendu et non à partir de la réalité est assez dur car en réalité, le batiment construit peut changer. Regardez Granite, je l'ai fait quand elle n'était pas totalement fini, et aujourd'hui, le toit est un peu different.
Just in order to know, for all members of this forum:
Do you prefer a tower with the same proportion as the real tower or a proportion like in SC4.
Because in the game, sims are 4.5m heigh.... >:(
CBX and Ariane are:
CBX: 143m for the real building and also my BAT
Ariane: 152 for the real building and also my BAT
But in the game, the SC4 building are really out of proportion ....
I call you to tell me:
-you prefer a tower with real dimension
- a tower with SC4 dimension but out of proportion
()what()
Bonjour, de façon à garder un rapport avec la Grande Arche et le CNIT, je pense que tu devrais prendre les proportions "SC4" même si c'est un peu moins satisfaisant intellectuelement, le but de SC4 est quand même pour créer des villes (ou des quartiers dans le cas de la Défense), donc avoir des immeubles qui vont bien ensembles.
En plus, accessoirement, tes tours seront plus grandes et se veront mieux et moi, j'aime bien $%Grinno$%
In order to keep the proportion with the "Grande Arche" (Great Arch : http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=4547) and the "CNIT" (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18183), I think you'd better keep the same proportions than the other SC4 buildings, because the finallity of SC4 is to build Cities (or district like "La Défense") with buidings that blend togthers :thumbsup:. Plus, I like big buidings ;)...
Ok.
On TSC, we decided to keep the real size, and here to make tower in SC4 proportions :-[
Know that defense's building are not very big $%Grinno$%
Big BAT you want ? I have somme big big bat on my computer, bigger than BAT doesn't want to export it &ops
I'm looking forward to more of these releases, I am going to do a La Defense recreation with them for sure :P

I like your La Defense - Tour Initiale.
If you lost the Gmax model files, there is still a way to change the night lights of this building.
So far, I applied it to one direction of zoom 5 only. From left to right:
a) reduced night light, night lights added for bottom floors
b) original night lights

The technique is described in this tutorial (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4093.0). Basically, I exported the rendered FSH textures, converted them into a png graphics format, loaded them into a graphic program, combined all in one picture, copy/pasted a subset to add lights for the bottom floors, applied strong brightness reduction, split the picture and saved as png, converted to FSH and loaded back into model file replacing the original night lite FSH files.
Do you like it? It's basically photo editing in graphics software, so the possibilities are limited.
Is it an approach to continue, or are you planing to redo the model?

Nice to see new bats, especially when they come from this district. Thanks!!
Chrisim : it must be hard to do !!!! And I don't think I will redo the model lol
It would take me about 6 hours to adjust the night light, but as you can see in the comparison above, the result would be far from perfect.
Therefore, I wonder whether it is worth the effort ...
I understand that you lost the model - do you still have the textures?
