For the future, i would like to create some buildings that are references for architecture, buildings from renaissance (1400) to pre-WW1. (maybe the Louis Kahn's Exeter Library too -1972)
stay tuned!
And allways have fun!
This looks great Swi21! Im looking forward to more ;)

From Simtrop over here, you're one of my faves, so I'm already subscribed! Keep up the good work (I was jglei701 over at Simtrop).
Looks like some good work. I'm sorry to see you leave simtropolis. Our communities once big tent seems to be splintering. Anyway, I'll try to keep an eye on things over here. You've given me the right motivation.
I'm sincerely glad to see you arround :)
I'll stay tuned here as I don't wanna miss your excellent bats ! &apls
here are some of the stuff i will release the next 6 months... let's hope the SC5 is about to be developped will have a BAT developpment kit based on 3ds max or gmax so we can continue to use and convert all of our stuff, it will be too bad to lose all that work. anyways... here are some shots..

Hmmm... i can't find some pictures... i have to check on my old HD... Will update in a few days...
Hm, of, the first one, that's the Orangerie building from Schloss Sanssouci from Potsdam, right?! If you need any pics of it, I can take them for you. Schloss Sanssouci is just an hour away from my home and I wanted to go there anyway in the next time :)
No it's ok, actualy I have all the pictures I need to make this facade... I will only do a part of the building, I'm not interested in the whole thing... It's the building i will use as screen entrance to a very large garden I started but I can't find the pictures of that park... that's why i have to check my old HD, in which I also have the model.... :-[ let's hope the file isn't corrupted!
Ok. Good luck then finding the files :thumbsup:
That is amazing Swi21. I detail is increadible! Looking forward to more :thumbsup:
Fantastic stuff Swi21. I look forward to more and I am envious of the work that
people can produce.
The best I can do is a teapot &mmm
Appropriate for me maybe but not much use for SC4.
&idea
Maybe thats what i should try to master next. A teapot on a building- I can see it now
TTC Teacat's Tea Corner
maybe one day it will appear but if it does it will only be on here ;D
In the meantime I'll put the kettle on and admire your work :thumbsup:
Great progress!
Great progress and impressive BAT! :thumbsup:
thank you all for your good words!!!
I'm in abig stress finishing my project for school, but don't worry, I will release a first BAT before the end of the year... or will it maybe released as new year's gift? %wrd
Stay tuned!
Always remember swi21 that a BAT is never too late but always on time.
I am a great admirerer of your work since the day you released your first BAT on the STEX. I have found and downloaded all your creations and will continue to do that untill you decide you have done enough.
I support your decision to migrate to sc4devotion and I sincerally hope other will follow.
If ... simcity5 will not have a tool to include custom content ... well ... I am afraid that I will stick to sc4 instead and continue to look out for creators like you.
Nikos - I guess we all stay tuned, for as long as we need to find your next jewel here! (In the mean time I am glad I followed you to this site!)
swi21...I'm loving the look of your new project. Your projects are always soo detailed, even down to the statues! Remarkable &apls I look forward to more! ....of course get your school work done before SC4 amusement :thumbsup:

Very nice building, and I don't noticed that they are dark...
The model is simply awesome &apls , and I can see the pics as always. Not darker. Well, only the night shoots $%Grinno$%
Great job Nikos &apls The roof window is a true gem, as is the clock.

WOW!!
what a beauty!
by the time this lot is ready to be released, i started thankfully, my next BAT which will take a few months to finalise, but it's quite repetitive and i hope finish it for february or march...
Here is the real building:

And here is the shy start I made this past hour and a half...
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv499%2Fswi21%2FZappeion%2FzappuionFirstShot.jpg&hash=7c610f5f83f6fca675bc2d24a8160d6aff011e08)
Some details about the building: it's of the late 19th century, surrounded by a large park, is one of the biggests landmark (after the 19th century of course) of Athens. It was allways used as an exposition center and it still is... The particularity of that building is its semi-circular shape and its amazing circular inside court! I never accessed in that court, but I don't think it's easy to access in there... But you can see it through the front doors!! The name of that building:
The Zappeio Megaron
/\
L To read that as "zapio"
Great choice &apls
You should take all the time you need to make this building a masterpiece as well as all buildings of yours are :thumbsup:
Btw... stunning start... if you call this a shy start... I must be a bloody beginner...
lThe real building is great and I think, the BAT will be great as well ;)
btw, I'm trying to build some mediterean(?) stuff too, but it doesn't look good yet... Why don't you write some short-tutorials to create details like those columns or statues?
That would be fine hrhr... So I could improve my BAT-skills.
Looks very realistic! Great job :thumbsup:
i have to agree excellent work and looking realistic
:thumbsup: &apls Great work.
Nice to see those in-game pics too.
The building may be a bit dark, but that is not so big a problem. I would find too light buildings worse. In RL these beautiful buildings keep on getting darker and darker due to pollution so a darker builing fits Rush Hour very well.
That new project looks daunting!

^^^^ dito!

I worked a bit on it today, but don't have more time till next week, so here it is, the way it is right now!
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv499%2Fswi21%2FZappeion%2FzappuionsecShot.jpg&hash=d979dbff0f68a905f67ca8c0eaaa3fdbfc081e8f)
Excellent...What about my question to write some short-tutorials?
oh sorry, I forgot about that...
Frankly I don't see what that tutorial can help you do... I mean, I don't do something realy special... It's a question of method and everyone has his.. With a good method you should be able to create allmost any building, mediterranean or not!
If you have some ideas on what you need me to describe, i will do my best to produce a tutorial for it.
But be warned, my way isn't the easyest!! I have kinda strange methods. that's why my bats take so long.
Good progress.
Also just saw you also modeled the Steinli ( :D ) in this one after you didn't in your last building. At least it looks this way ;)
Well, let's take these columns first, they look interesting, espacialy the top. Those riffles, are they "real", or is this just a texture?
#?¿?¿?$ What's the Steinli (little stone???) you talk about?? %confuso
EDIT: this column is a model I had... I also have an ionic column of that quality.. they are pure models and not textures. I can provide these models on request. yep, sometimes it's better to use something existing that re-invent the world.
Could you upload them? I would try to create some things with these columns...
SW your lots are awesome and I'm so glad you finally found a home for you and your work. :)

The bank has been released! I hope you'll enjoy! For comments and anything else, don't hesitate to use this thread!
Thanks for sharing this beauty my friend :thumbsup:
A gread financial addittion for the game :D
Thanx for sharing this awesome lot but where do you find 10 BTE Financial institutions that are required?.I don't recall that many Financial Institutions available unless I fell asleep again.Thanx
Several of JMyers and simgoobers are BTE to Financial Institutions. Some of the small shops at Peg's by SG are. The Cash Checking for one.
Thanx Goddess I'll get the dogs out and go in search of these lots.Thanx again. :)
It's either me or the file is well screwed up.
I went to install it and MS Paint pop up plus I can't seem to find the lot in the rewards menu.Can someone please look into this issue.Thanx
Mmmm, Bluebeard, do you have Ilives Reader installed ?¿ Probably not.
Swi21, There could be a bad link in your installer, which points to the dat file instead to the html file. Pls contact me to change the download file once you have been able to solve it ;).
I believe is pointing to the lot file, as my system tried to open the datagen prog, as it that program that is assigned to open that kind of files. But, nevertheless, I believe the program was well installed on it own folder called - \JAS -- Central Library1 - on my plugins folder. I haven't tried it in the game, so, I cannot tell if is there or not.
Barby is the only capable to do that, actualy she made that installer.. I will tell her!
Since it seems to be only an installer problem, and not a Lot problem, I´ll keep this one in the Exchange until Barbyw provides a new version.
Thanx SW for addressing this issue. :thumbsup:
I have made the new installer and am waiting to get the file to Jeronij. I do apologise for the inconvenience. It was completely my fault. &ops &ops :'(
Everything is fixed now ;).
Seeing how you are the Goddess of this community then we will find some poor sap and blame him/her.So go have a few glasses of wine and all will be ok. :thumbsup:
*wipes the drool off the keyboard* Oh god that's a true masterpiece! &apls
Changing subject a bit...
I see that my free time is more and more limited and i have more and more unfinished stuff... After Zappeion, what would be the BAT you wish to see finished next? You can see of my unfinished stuff and a large part of what i allready did by clicking >>HERE<< (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v499/swi21/)
That concerns the unfinished BATs (like the orangerie) or stuff I allready anounced I want to update (see LEX descriptions for it) If you have reasonable requests to modify an older BAT of mine, here is the place for the request.. I will certenly not start any new building before september 2007, except maybe for these two:

Allmost 1 year since last time someone posted on that topic. Well it's time for me to use it in order to show you my latest -and thankfully finished- BAT. I posted here and there some pictures in the Zappeion thread, but here is the final picture of the BAT.. I gave the model to Barby, she will do a beautyfull lot for you guys. More pics and details will be posted later on. I will have time this way to work on the zappeion props and on some other buildings during the little time that i have, now that the university started again.
Have fun people and be allways well!

If you look well the problem isn't present on Porkie's bats next to mine. but it seems it gets like that because of the nightlights (as soon as they are on) All my bat are like that by the way...
Looking forward to this one. And, yes, Barby always does her magic to add some additional beauty.
Where is the problem! I can't see it. ;D
A wonderful BAT, looking forward to it, too! :)
My guess is that is has to do with the standard maxis nightlights. Try rendering the model using other kind of light besides the maxis enable one. I always lit my windows using targets to avoid this kind of issue.
BTW. Your model is very beautiful :thumbsup:
Dear Nikos,
Thanks for another great BAT. Your work is really top quality. It was worth waiting one year for it.
Cheers,
Bap
What program did you export it from? MAX?
You building looks the way it does because of the issue with masks.
Question how did that issue come to be?
Irun into similar situation, but did so quite deliberately as a way to make so called "truNite" look. Idea was to make more realistic night with NO direct light source. For that I neede my entire night view displayed in the game instead of just light spots overlayed on top of tinted day view (the way game creates night).
Same is taking place in those shots you've posted - entire night render is displayed.
Did you do any alteration to the script? can you post it /send to me if you did. It would be quite interesting to see to me and perhaps autoVino who was tinkering with exactly that - trying to automate the process.
Or did you just enable some sort of ambient light that masks the entire model in night mask render pass?
Well actualy i don't realy know what i did... I just rendered the BAT with MAX enabling the nightwindows and adding an night light (omni). I did nothing with the final file. I can send you the .sc4model, but i need to add you in my chat contacts. my email is swi21@hotmail.com.

How can we forget the one that, in the early age of sc4, start to use super textures on super BATs, like the Chateau de Sceaux ()what().
I actually try to use your Swiss Financial Center in order to reproduce (very badly, I know %wrd!!) the Hotel de Crillon and Hotel de la Marine (clic one the little pic)!
This church in Patras is really rare on the net, I've tried to find the same pic than your's, and, ... nothing ()what()!!
Actualy I found a few in www.panoramio.com today. you can search for views from people who have been there, and they place them on the map at theire actual position.
Hello everyone! Here is my next release. It's a building i developped for my class in architecture.. It's a school for "actual" musics (Jazz, Rock, RnB, etc etc). It was a quick release, as I made the model for the presentation perspective.
Funny thing, it doesn't look as nice as in the model and the plans.. Probably the proportions aren't correct... But anyways, i hope you still appreciate.
Will develop the lot in order to release this week.

This building is well done :thumbsup:
In addition it is an original building ;)
I was looking arround my backups, looking for a texture in order to edit the Valianios Library, and I found that:

I thought I lost these two after the several crushes of my computers...
I'm so happy i still have them! they were supposed to ba part of the Chateau de Sceaux lot, I guess they can make a nice tuch together in a large parc "à la française", maybe with another chateau? I have to see.... Why not...
PS: I recently found out that the second picture, which represents a real world orangery somewhere in germany (sorry Priodan, i know you told me about several times, but i'm getting old.....) is partly a copy of the facade, facing the river, of the "Gallerie De Uffici" (Palace built by Cosmo I de Medicis as administration building,in the 16th century). Just as info...
Great news to see those old models revived again! I've been waiting for these since I first saw them.
BTW, that last orangery looks like the Orangerieschloss at Potsdam :)
Also, the Pantocrator looks like a great project. Hope you decided to make it as well.
Those recovered pieces would be brilliant additions to some stately lots. :)
Ah yes, that's it, the Orangerieschloss at Potsdam! Thank you!
Here is on what I am working today.. Another Art Nouveau Swiss building. I have my inspiration from a building close to the trainstation in Lausanne.. higher and larger...

And another 2 great news on your topic Swi21 &hlp &hlp!!
First, your "parc à la française" &apls(I think it's gonna look nice close too any hausmannian districts).
Then, the message from Debussyman (Hello, I hope you're doing well :thumbsup:) !!
Without the Orangerie, the greek church and the Music School, it's already unhoped, but with them, it's like Christmas ::).
This is the begining of a great BAT :thumbsup:

Speed updating.
Looks good. The model and textures are well done and there are a lot of nice little details. I have two suggestions: 1. Lighten the glass. Right now the windows seem a touch dark and the dark windows kind of hid the frame details. 2. If it were me I would nudge the chimneys up just a tad higher so that the brick is just slightly above the bottom of the roof's copper top. They look kind of low right now. Very minor suggestions. I feel like a bit of a jerk raising them :)
No no, don't say that! I realy appreciate these suggestions. actualy these are two points are very relevant... I lowered the cheminies because they seemed to concurence the bell tower and the domes. But you just confirmed what i thought.. they are a bit low.
As for the windows, I plan to light them up a little bit. If they are as dark as that it's just because of the ground floor openings... when the glass is lighter, it looks strange.. I need to put some picture of a store or something.
Génial!Si j'ai bien compris, tu veux des images de vitrines?Ou des idées?
Ni l'un ni l'autre en fait ;) Juste le temps de les mettre en place...
The residential is now done, along with the school of actual musics.
Here is the second in game.

Your new BAT and the "Residence Jugendstil" fit perfectly together. What about a whole set? $%Grinno$%
As it is not possible to lighten the glass, I suggest to make the window frames a bit brighter. It's pretty difficult to see them.
Yes it's a possibility, i have that in mind.. I will at least do 4 more of these buildings, even more, but most probably w2w. and a couple of pavilions... You can also say they are very close to the Chateau de Sceaux, maybe a bit with the Bank...
Oh by the way, i will also release a brighter version of the Bank soon. I will also rework my old buildings, especialy the Valianios National Library.
Great work, love the W2W! Can't wait to see more!!!
Beautiful work, it's great job &apls
A lot of good news from Swiss! TY.
N1_2888 is right when he says that these 2 BATs look like the beginning of a serie, I have the same idea. BTW, W2W is a wonderfull idea :thumbsup:>
So wonderful!!!J'adore!Parfait pour mon centre ville pavé! :satisfied:
it's an excellent job! :thumbsup:
I like very much the modern school; so nice
On the first picture of the school, we can see a brown box ;)
Ouf, there are dozens of them!! I barely have the half of the dependencies I should.. I also have to say that these pictures are issued from the windows i have on my mac, and as it is slow in use, i prefer keep the most basic prop packs.
Another project i started working on for a couple of days now, when i have the time.
It's a small hotel, called "Hotel Bahnhof" and it's located in Ins, Switzerland.

What wonderful job and what attention to detail, bravo &apls
looks cute ;D
Small but very detailed.
The architecture of this Hotel Bahnhof (Hotel de la Gare ;)?) is close to the one that can be found in the French side of the border (Jura, Franche Comté, etc).
wow très beau commencement , beaucoup de travail encore , il sera parfais j'en suis sure !
very beautiful departure, much of attention to the details ! Hasten to see the continuation !
;)
In europe we have in deed a very unified architecture. The borders are not realy limits, but it seems to be more of a regional thing, and probably the weather, same as regional materials and vernacular architecture, are important factors. In that case, it's clearly a mix of german and french architecture. The strange thing is that it's very typical to switzerland.
Super l'hotel de la gare!Très beau bat! :thumbsup:

I know it might be an "ugly lot" for some of you, but you know, the original building was in an absolute rural context and I wanted to reproduce that context at my best. I will give the building to Barby and, if she's ok with that, she will make a lot more in a BSC standard.
By the way, how do you think it would be best? Reward or ploppable CS$$$?

As this was my semester project for school (well allmost) I wanted to preserve the initial concept by introducing a vegetal portico (the tree range) in front of the built one. It's included to the lot and the road is a transit enabled one.

Do you mean that the street in front of your BAT and the trees path on the other side are part of the lot :o? OMG, that is an awesome idea!!!!! And it blend totally with the "normal" road :thumbsup:.
I have lots of projects unfinished... For the moment, I am considering finishing the renaissance garden, with the Orangery and maybe a chateau but i'm not sure yet about that last one.
I also have to finalise the Zappeion but i'm still having problems with lighting and textures... most probably size problems...
my only comment on the beautiful house would be to remove the palm trees from the lot, the other trees are great, but palms.... $%Grinno$%

Merci, now I'm ashamed to be French &sly.
Haha!! That clip is pretty funny and not so bad, honestly. But, really...he had to have been under a lot of pressure and just couldn't remember it. If you wanna see something funny look into clips on Americans being asked where countries are located and to even point out where Washington DC is located. Sorry to add to the slight off-topic...
No need to be ashamed, those things happen to anyone.. The thing is that, in my opinion, the audiance voted for the sun on purpose. Barby told me similar stuf happend to UK too... I'm realy sorry if I offend anyone with this post, ayways....
The fact that half of the peoples in the room says that the Sun turn around Earth can also show the level of the potential players......

Now, I feel better :D! TY Barby :thumbsup:.
Don't be sorry Swi21, and keep on building awsome BAT ;)!

Lots of texturing to do, plants, trees, fointains and lots of details (like two pavilions at each side of the park) to add... Hope to finish it till next week
Looks very interesting.

Beautiful, Nikos, absolutely beautiful &apls &apls &apls
It's fabulous &apls
Thanks for all beautiful BATs :thumbsup:
Oh wow Nikos! &apls
It has been a few years since we talked about this garden and swapped bitmap drawing of different options.
It is nice to see that you haven't abandoned it.
and the progress is astonishing!!! ;D
Hubert.
Yep Actualy I still have them! The result will be a bit different from the propositions you made at that time, but they are pretty inspiring! The result will be much more complexe.. what you see here is just a timid begining. I asked D66 for help on the flowerbeds. For the moemnt the mineral part is done. Now i'm working on the Orangery..
Oustanding perspectives, I could stare at those landscapes all day! and they're not even finished yet :o
That is absolutely stunning, I love it....its fabulous &apls &apls &apls
This is amazing as usual!
Is it above ground level with walls, or will it be below grond level? I'm not familiar with the original piece being recreated!
Well the park is all a fantasy.. i started it to match with the Chateau de Sceaux but never managed to finish it so... The Orangery is based on a realy building. The park will be bellow the ground level...
And here is the Orangerie...

Thanks to everyone for your comments, i realy appreciate :)
I spent the day on developping a bit the orangery and I made a first test ingame of the park. Lots of work to do, but that's not a surprise, but nothing impossible! I have the time!
So here is the update of the day. it's not the best I can do, but hey... it's 2:30 here.. I have no courage for more... %confuso

it all looks very nice. I think the black lines seperating the tiles on the ground coud be toned down though so they are more discreet (I think it looks quite overpowering compared to the small detailes of the main building)
Thanks for the suggestion.. I may change the ground texture later,when i will go back to the park itself.
For the moment here is an update.

I am not sure if someone else tried to BAT them, but if you know anything, please tell.
These would be wonderful additions! :thumbsup:
**nevermind ;p **
SO looking forward to The Bauakademie and the Opera House, such a great shame it was demolished.
Yaaay. Nikos is back &hlp
Great projects you've chosen. However, I think Lars said he was working on the entire gendarmenmarkt (which included the Schauspielhaus) but that was about a year ago, I'm not sure if he's still on it... On the other side, A few months ago I started the Friedrichswerdersche Kirche, it probably would fit nicely with the Bauakademie ;)

Think Lars has plans to restart the Gendarmenmarkt project.
He just been a bit busy with his final year in grammar school/high school.
Awww..too bad.. I was so looking forward to that one... :( Well I'll ask him anyways! who knows! But Bauakademie is a very good and interesting project..
Nikos! That's a nice surprise to see you back around!
First off... Congratulations for the Bachelor! I know (or at least I'm guessing! :D) you put a lot of effort into it and deserved you a break... Just to fill it up with BATing! $%Grinno$%
Just as I told you on MSN, I don't feel like doing the Schauspielhaus (or anything else from the Gendarmenmarkt) at the moment, so there's nothing in your way at all to worry about. ;)
It's just a very pleasure for me to see you back...!

&mmm that's bad news. Don't you plan at least to finish the twin Doms?
Well, no, not directly. Before finish them I'd had to start'em up again from scratch anyway, as the very tiny bit I had done of the French Dome proved to be off scales and it didn't come along as I wanted it to at all. So I knocked it on the head. ::)
Ach, too bad, I was really hoping to see them in the future. And even more now that Nikos plans to make the Schauspielhaus :'(

Well, you never know what the future may bring. That's why you should never say never. :)
But we should stop occupying Nikos' thread I think! After all it's about his creations, and not the stuff, I once attempted. ;)
Ahh lets hope they can shard this project: Nikos doing the The Schauspielhaus and Lars doing the two churches ;)
Great to see you back Nikos and congrats on the degree!
