Becca at BAT

[RebaLynnTS]

I have decided to go back to work on Cross Lands, and will try to get one of the 4 small sunken malls done, and posted.

A new look at the Food Court

[Pat Riot]

Awesomeness!

Could you switch the blue areas to a color that they might be ingame? just makes it easier viewing

[RebaLynnTS]

No worries, most of the model is un-textured.


Now, here is a first look at the new parking garage for the Katrina Memorial Trauma Center.

[Pat]

    Congrats Becca on Joining TG!!!  Also liking the devolpment of Cross Lands and the MSS 2,  The new parking garage is looking better!!! Are you planning to change the main complex at all?

[Jmouse]

Thank you for showing your work as it develops, RebaLynn - very interesting and helpful to watch.

I do have a question, though, and took the liberty of illustrating it rather than trying to explain - hope you don't mind.



This can't be right, so what have I missed?

Also, how did you attach the uprights to the framework at the top? I sneaked a couple of hours to experiment with doing windows tonight, but so far no luck. Couldn't figure out how to make the framework a single spline. What you've done looks like exactly what I want to do, but in the context of creating mullions inside a rectangular framework. If I can do it, I thought the glass itself could be a rectangle with a UVW modifier like the glass I put in the MH door lites.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your work and your expertise!

Actually, the top frame, and uprights are separate boxes that slightly overlap each other, when rendered, they look like whole pieces. Once you have them made, you can group them together as one unit.

To group the items, select everything you want in the group, then click group on the menu bar, and choose group from that list.

Pat: Most of the complex will remain unchanged, except for the textures.

[Pat]

OK Kewl Becca!!!!  Cant wait to see the further devolpment on it...

[Jmouse]

Thanks RebaLynn. I'll try that out ASAP.

KMTC: Update

Not sure I need to do much to the textures or not.

[Pat]

maybe tweek the landing pad a bit to lessen the white?

[RebaLynnTS]

Ok, done ... It will take time to export, so doing it later tonight.

[Jmouse]

Now that I see the garage textured, I think I see the answer to my question. The barriers actually run through the middle of the verticals, so the verts. show on both inside and outside. Right?

The whole complex is awesome, BTW!

Later,
Joan

[RebaLynnTS]

Joan, yes, the verticals are slightly wider than the walls, and the walls are centered on them, and run through them.

[dragonshardz]

gonna put a roof on that garage Becca?

[Pat]

I will be eagerly awaiting to see the new KMTC tomorrow then!!!!

[RebaLynnTS]

KMTC has become TG  project, and I have inlisted some help in making it even better. This will take a few extra days, but should be well worth the wait.


Dragon ... no plans to.

[Pat]

I can wait and I will trust you Becca

[Pat Riot]

Becca, just looked at this in GMAX and its fantastic work. I know Travis will be dreaming about lotting this one.

[RebaLynnTS]

Personally, I think it is one of my best BATs

[City Builder]

They've all be great including this one.

Im not sure about a roof on the garage however, I've seen a great deal of open air parking structures like these, it's why I drive in circles trying to avoid having to park on the very top tier and have my truck sitting out in the sun all day while we are shopping at the mall, I say let the sims fight for the better parking spots as well 

I really look forward to having a new hosp to play with.  I have grown tired of seeing the same o' same o' in my cities health care system lately.
