i cant make it having spinning effect... as u see in the real picture......
and the last.... texture and detail..... in this time.... i still use random texture to paint my building.... i dont have any idea, what is the right texture for this building.....
()sad() ()sad()
also the detail.... i never visit this building.... i just have 2 picture of this building.... and i make this building only based to them..... i ever see this building from tv, but not in the right angle... i'm looking for bird eye view.....
i make all parts of this building manually.... because i'm not a master of this software..... maybe next 2 days... i've already finished for the detail( i'll use my feeling to make the details) .... not for the texture....
btw
does anybody have an iea with this building and wanna help me to complete my BAT???? :P
This doesn't look at all bad from what you are showing us. No need to make a perfect replica you can also use your imagination for the parts that you don't have any photo's.
i agree, add a little something that makes it yours, i assure you, noone will mind.
hmmm.... yeah maybe u're right...... i dont have to make this BAT so realistic.... what for :)???.... hehehe..... just for make it fun, i'm still looking some data which can help me make this BAT close to real :thumbsup:
very nice work
:thumbsup: yo! a little updated pic from me..... geezzzz.... i have no time to finish this BAT ASAP..... still not texturing yet.... lighting also not yet.... hmmm..... i dont have an idea what kind of texture it should be.....

HAH!? this side,.... the wall is too bright??!!! what happen??? :o
what do u think? is that more looks like an oil Tank or a water tank???? ???
I could render your old project... Could also search for some textures :P
hei hei hei..... if u seriously wanna help me to render it, let me finish the building first.... there're still few part of MONAS BAT which i have not made them yet..... $%Grinno$%
Well then, go on! :D
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: sure, i'll continue to build up my MONAS after my Water Tank is finished....... :thumbsup:
You should probably try to tone down the whiter textures, make them a bit darker. The model of the watertank/oiltank looks quite good.
looks bright :D i think it looks more like a ...oil tank?
oil tank??? what the......ah..... what's the use of this BA if it's an oil tank??
i think i should re-texture this bat again.... ()sad() ()sad() ()sad()
It might be a question about background, to me it looks more like a oil tank than a water tank, but if this is a watertank in Malaysia, then you are OK. Otherwise you might want to rethink how it looks.
Not bad. You have an eye for the tiny details which is what really separates good bats from excellent ones. With some work on your textures these could be really great. As Kwakelaar has already suggested, the biggest thing that I think you need to do is darken your texture. Textures that look fine on their own end up much lighter in gmax and Sim City so you have to darken them to compensate. As for what the water tank should be, well honestly, from my North American eyes I thought it was an industrial tank too but if this kind of thing holds water in other parts of the world I'm sure it'll be fine.
yup.... another project.... after finish with my previous 2 BAT's, i'm going to make another BATs which will take a part in my first upcoming MD :)....., there will be 3 BATs; PERTAMINA HQ, BALIKPAPAN PLAZA, and a big Mosque..... and they are fictional buildings, because i cannot find the real pics....
oke first BAT : PERTAMINA HQ.... 21 floors.... 4x3 tiles
explaination about this building will be available in my upcoming MD.....
phase 1
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg214.imageshack.us%2Fimg214%2F8352%2Fproject1mh8.jpg&hash=7db71b7b7be7cae679c40579aeff7fcf46e33020)
it is only main building...... i think it's too big..... ???
Phase 2
hmmm.... a little update..... i've changed both side walls because it looked ugly before, adding window glasses... and i'm trying to do the roof now.... maybe tomorrow i'll build the base structure......

Great projects ! For your Monas Jakarta I advise you to transform the objets into "Editable Mesh" with the "Collapse All" option, it would be less heavy for the render and you can download the texture fix for the BAT in simcity.com, it will avoid some render glitches and a last thing : merge the BAT you want to export into a new file just before exporting. Hope it will resolve your problem.
The flame is very nice for a beginner, for the spinning effect, you can try the Wave modifier (under Bend,Taper...) or the Noise modifier.
That's right you could darker the textures for the water tank as well as for the tower.
yah.... actually, i redo my Monas from the beginning for some reasons.... and luckily it looks much better now.... and yes, i have some problem in rendering process, it's pretty heavy for my laptop...., and again, thanks for your advice (although i still cannot do the flame well... :-[)
okay.... update for my PERTAMINA HQ
phase 3
i think i should add more floors.... because it looks funny if only have 21 floors....

any advise for my BAT? (this is a fictional building without model, just come out from my imagination)
sorry, i think, i'm gonna suspend my project for a while..... my laptop doesnt support me to finish this..... :(
Hey, looking good, for your question about measurements for you obelisk, try google earth's ruler to get an idea of dimensions. Just find the monument and then measure the length of the sides etc using the ruler, and round it to the nearest sensible unit (i.e. 24.7m in google earth is likely to be 25m in Real life). Hope that was useful to you. ;)
Fred
that's a great looking building! :thumbsup:
Great work, Sarungman, wanna try these out btw?

I like that roof model ... it is very nifty ;)
whoaaa dude.. i'm indonesian, and proud jakarta citizen.. a great BAT effort man, keep going.. you're saying that you need other info about MONAS? what can i do to help? and the grand mosque you are planning to build, is it malaysian or indonesian based? because the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta or the Masjid Negara in KL are great landmarks to built, am i rite?
btw, i am now in KL, where are you sarungman?
wah indonesia juga toh..... maap mas, projectnya saya suspend, ni tred udah jadul banget, pas saya masi cupu.... :P
mas kalo mau cari saya, ke ST aja, tau kan? simtropolis, saya main di sana.
Kalo project monas masih jalan sih, cuman saya lagi konsen ke project lain. Mau lengkapnya cari aja saya Di Simtropolis.com nick saya di sana AsianEvolusioner..... :thumbsup:
Note to mod: please close this thread, i have no way to continue this project, thanks.....
