Hello everyboody and Itc members.
I have an idea that I would like to make members shared in ITC, I propose to creat a different bat for the different store (Spar, Wal-mart ASAD, Morrisons and another) in the world.
I would like create pack of a different store with the Batteurs and the lotteurs of ITC team as plan for the end of this year and next year. $%Grinno$%
Just I propose:

(really horrible) $%Grinno$%
And a first idea: a spar commerce:

For a different bat (1x1, 2x2 1x2, 3x3 4x3 and à depot)
I would like your opinion on idea and participation of the members, therefore I hope that idea will please you
Vivien (earth quake)
thats a nice idea and i would defenetly like some shared work of itc members.
actually iam going to finish my little w2w project after that i can put all my effort in this project if it will be established.
it also would be a solution to integrate the shops and their advertisement in that W2W stuff iam now working on and make it part of this project.
so letz see what our other teammates think about it.

good question :D

Vivien,
This sounds like an interesting idea. I'm not too familiar with the current commercial buildings out there presently, but I think a selection of international stores would be a good project. I would be happy to lend my hand to the project for at least one store. Just let me know which one you need and I'll see if I can get started on it.

Thank you Matt. :thumbsup:
For the project, you start with this bat:

Is a KFC. :thumbsup:
Good idea, Vivien! In case you would need it, I'm always willing to do some modding and/or lotting :)
Sounds good Vivien. Just to clarify: you want this in a variety of sizes for a variety of lots? Also, when you say "international commerce" are these businesses from various parts of the world, or are these businesses that are international (all over the world)?
i would prefer form various parts of the world but more or less public at least in the land from where they are.
this way a big amount of players can find something they are familiar with.
i think vivien should be have the last word of that question as the initiator of that project.
iam also not that sure if i now should integrate my actual bats as they are not that kind of builings including such stores as they were suggested until now.
i could add some smaller public known shops
and as they will get some big billboards i could also make there special advertisements of bigger buisnises.
i also could start with some stand alone bats but in this case i will finish my actually ones first.
what do you think?
i also have put a short explanation and a picture with current progress of my work into my last post in my thread. may you take a look and tell me if that will fit in that commerce project that i can decide on wich way i will continue.
paul
These businesses from various parts of the world.
I Take spar, but I would have been able to take a French or english or american store, afterwards it belongs to you to choose. I took for you KFC, but I could you crossed by pictures of french restaurents. (I prefer a French restaurent) $%Grinno$%
But the best is started with a store doesn't existe in the game. :thumbsup:
Good night.
Ps 1:I clarified your idea ?
Ps 2: my bad english. ::)
Thanks Vivien. That cleared things up pretty well. I know there is already a KFC out there (SimGoober I want to say), but I think another one could work well for visual diversity. I also usually prefer a french restaurant to KFC but I'm happy to work on any of them. Also, don't worry about your english. It's pretty good, and practice is the best way to improve.

yes, why?
EDIT: Colruyts are also found in France, and you also have Delhaizes in Eastern Europe

that looks good vivien :thumbsup:
there is one suggestion i have. i think it could maybe look better if the roof will be a bit wider than the walls.
wc eend: i just asked because i didnt know them.( i was only 1 time in belgium and this was just a short trip from breda NL over the border to eat some fries :))
i wont promise but when i finished my current bats i maybe have a try on them.
@squidi: no problem, i was just curious
Delhaize's are HOT! :p
Products are more expensive, yes, but the shop is much more nice compared to those gross Aldi or Lidl stores....
=)
current progres:
it might look a bit crazy somehow :D

hey, the same suggestion as TSC ;)
looking real great there Earth Quake!!! If you need any help lotting at all let me know and I will be more then willing to work with you on that!!
Looking good Earth quake. I would suggest that you perhaps make the glass a bit darker or consider darkening the wall texture. For some reason together they make the building look a bit bright. Also, consider taking the wall texture and making the bottom look a bit darker or dirtier as it would be in real life. Great work so far, and I should have a draft of the KFC soon.

well done EQ :thumbsup:

awesome progress here Paul, great work on this W2W ! &apls
I really like this idea to put a parking in a roof . :thumbsup: (ah !! ok, all that building is a parking...)
All these details are fantastic my friend :thumbsup:
Can't wait to see when you put some light and neons !
Arthur.
I love how this is coming along.
I hope you find the time to make a small collection of these. ;)
The parking lot is a great idea. I know where to find a few of these in down town Toronto.
Robin :thumbsup:
Looks majestic! I like the ITC Commercial Building, good to see we're sponsored by Puma! :D
Cool! ITC Commerce! Now we have out own office space :P
Maybe the building needs some extra shops, like HEMA (a well known store in the Netherlands) or maybe a supermarket.
Best,
Maarten
I love the Subway stores. I'm a huge fan of Subway so I will deffenetly build them in my city. :thumbsup:

That´s what I was talking about! Thanks!
Vivien,
Sorry for being quiet in here for so long. I have some progress done on the KFC and will hopefully have something ready in a week.
-Matt
School has a way of filling time. It's almost a month later, but I have the draft of the KFC minus textures. Let me know what you think. If there are no big ussues, then it's time to texture.

I'm not familiar with the actual store and its relative size, but I like what I see so far. A few extra textures here and there, and perhaps a few details for the roof (vent pipes, worn/dirty spots, perhaps an A/C unit) and I think it's well on its way. Good work.

KIABI: 150 store in France
I always wondered what they sold in a Kiabi xD
Just a quick update on the KFC. Things are going well, and I'm about to start the smaller details (drive-thru box, sign, etc) and the texturing is about to begin.
-Matt
Sweet Matt I cant wait to see further progress on it and BTW what is the size on it so far??? I was wondering and looking at the RL pic from your inspiration and I have a few idea's for textures maybe if I can pull it off...
Pat,
The building, in its present form, is just slightly wider than 1x2 so it should fit on a 2x2 lot. I can send you a draft render to fit on to a lot while I finish off the building if you're interested. Let me know.
-Matt
sounds like a plan and hey what about using our new download area?? I could get the file when I get home and begin working on it from there...
That's the plan Pat. Look for it there in a few minutes. Just fiddling with the station textures now.
-Matt
-edit- The file has been uploaded Pat. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with for it.
allrighty I just got home after beening at the fire house all day for our annual fishing jamboree!!! YaY!!! I didnt catch a thing except for falling on the ice lol... OK I will start working on this now...
EDIT:

I notice there is an offset... I can correct it as is but more or less to let you know for when you do the actual building there was the offset...
Oh rats... you know, you're completely right. I BAT these things on the +/+ quadrant of the xy plane (makes the math easier in some aspects). I'll fix that for the final upload, but if you want, I can pop a new model up for you. Just let me know.
-Matt
That would be helpful matt lol... I tried to do my little fix and all I managed to do is shrink the building foot print...
Changing the building footprint is a neat trick, but it would help to have a properly positioned building, wouldn't it. The file will be updated in about 30 seconds (or as long as it takes me to get to the download area from here).
-Matt
OK Matt I did get the correct building yay and here is what Ive been up to so far... I do have to say making textures from scratch is fun!!! No I mean it its truly fun, but it is a small pain trying to get everything lined up... I think I have a good start so far for the tiles? Here is what I am talking about....

Sorry for the little break there in the white and what looks like smear its not its from me I tried to piece together smaller versions from LE preview window..
Looking good so far Pat. Think you could squeeze it onto a 2x3 as well? It'd add a little bit of variety to the growables. Nice work, and I'll see if I can get it textured over the next little bit.
-Matt
eeks I hope lol... I will do my best to see what I can cook up with some textures for a 2x3 for ya's matt ;)
