Nice work Hableurg! I think I'll take a shot at some of this sometime soon, my work using Skethcup is not working well in GMAX. :angrymore:
I've downloaded the tutorial images and think I might just give it a go! I would like to make the Southern African Rondawels, and this will be very useful!
Thank you very much for the time and effort put into this, and of course, for sharing it with me, and us. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

general: if you can understand something "basic" in bat you can request here for a tutorial like those.. ;) dont be shy and ask! :)
Hi im with your tutorial, but I have one problem,I build exactly the same as in the tutorial, however I can't add texture with the biggest central block..
help!
WoW!
I spend hours trying a few weeks ago and finaly gave up after only being able to make some shapes and move them and gave up. ???
Just 40 minutes ago I downloaded the first tutorial, shaped something that looks like a house[see picture] and even put some texture on it. :thumbsup:

It's not so much how it looks it's more like getting the hang of how things work. ;)
Oh, I did put texture on the door before seeing the step about handling doors and I couldn't find how to undo that as there is no way to put texture on texture.
Same for the purple cube, I made it transparent, wich I can't seem to cover with texture or undo the transparancy.
Thanks for this tutorial Heblem. :thumbsup:
Where can i download B.A.T. for my simcity? simcity4.com sends me to another website that says they dont have it, i really want it ()sad() and i have Gmax already
any help? :) &hlp
The Building Architecture Tool can be found here at SC4D. Take a look at Maxis Support Files. (http://www.sc4devotion.com/SC4D_Maxis_files_EULA.html)
I have a dream... building an Amarrian city (from the sci-fi Eve Online), which means basically an all-new set of custom-made buildings.
I have a problem...zero experience at this, and zero ability to follow written tutorials, I need to be SHOWN stuff, the more the better. And I find video distracting, having to constantly pause and restart as I try to follow along.
This image tutorial is hands down my favorite of the several I've looked at over several websites. I know it's several years old by now but I wanted the author to know that his (her?) efforts continue to be useful and appreciated, so please keep the images online for others!
I wholeheartedly agree, I'm just a couple months into BATting and these tutes helped me a lot as well :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great tutorial :thumbsup:
btw, how did you get the image of the door on the door?
cheers

Hey HabLeUrG,
Just wanted to say well done! I've been looking everywhere for a nice, simple tutorial to explain the basics of BAT-ing for AGES and haven't been able to find one...until now. It's nice to know there's SOMEONE who can be bothered to take the time to make something like this.
Thanks again,
EojjN
