CAL's BAT Cave

[jacqulina]

hi my friend,how are you,this is more awesome work you have done,the details are amazing

[kimcar]

  Geez Cal you always have great stuff to show us and great quality works too. Very nice model 

[SimFox]

don't you think that night lighting is a way too harsh? It looks like it is illuminated by WWII search lights from a meter distance. may be decreasing intensity and and hotspot (if you use spots) plus setting the decay to at least inverse would help?? 

BTW are you rendering it in GMAX or MAX bat?

No, not really.  The lighting is applicable to this type of building, where they are brightly lit at night for residents safety.  Rendered in GMAX because I'm having some issues with BAT4Max....one of these days I will find the time to get it set properly.

I actually think the nightlighting is splendid.  I really like this project and can't wait for its release! I already have something special in mind for it.

Thanks a lot!

I have been playing with the lot and actually had it grow this morning.

[callagrafx]

  Barby, you're a star...and it looks fantastic, thank you.  I'll be packaging it tonight hopefully so watch the LEX [shameless plug] and while you're there, download some other goodies like the St David's Hotel and Spa, a CAL/BLS production [/shameless plug]

[Badsim]

Excellent Lotting BarbyW , I wonder what your work would be without limitations for share ....

Great work both ...

[callagrafx]

Is now on the LEX [HERE].  A huge thank you to Barby for providing such a fantastic base for my model.  Enjoy.

Lee, your link didn't work  , but I went to the Lex and there it was! 

[M4346]

Just in time! Thank you very much Cal!

[Yoder7652]

very nice...both of you 

[callagrafx]

Sorry, link's now fixed 

[rooker1]

Great addition to the LEX, thank you very much for all your hard work.

[kimcar]

  Great job again , both of you . Thanks

[Zaphod]

You said this is from a real life project, is this a real building? or did you design it?

Either way its amazing!

The pool is a really nice touch

[callagrafx]

I designed the building, to show off various air conditioning installations...so the roof junk is accurate for this type of building.  The pool was to show off the heat exchanger on the roof...I was going to put some bikini clad swimmers in there, but the polycount wouldn't cope.

This is a great model. The unique shape makes it very attractive, and the lot where it sits even more. Nightlights give it the great final touch 

[callagrafx]

The ever continuing Aircon project has produced another viable BAT...in this case The Ivy House Respite Care Home. Here is The Ivy House Max render:



atm,I have only done the detailing on the front side of what you see, when I have finished this for commercial purposes I'll complete the back, with a long thin conservatory on the back, possibly modelled separately and added as a prop.

I am tempted to have another go with Bat4Max if I have time, as the ivy mesh will probably exceed the 65k cap imposed on .3ds files.  OBJ would be another route, but I find that format can be a bit hit and miss. BTW, the doors to the left are overscale and willl be reduced in size.

This is another great one Cal!  Isn't it great when your RL job meshes so nicely with your hobby?
