Snake's Work (new stuff)

[WalkingSnake]

It's been a long time since I've touched the BAT, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm formerly sc4jeeks of SimTropolis, mostly known for my parking lot pack. I like to make small stores, and things you'd see around town. I mostly like to make commercial and civic buildings.

Anyway, here's my current WIP:


It's not based on any real-life building or store brand. I like the freedom of making everything from scratch. I'm certainly open to C&C.

I'm not sure if I'll make this a growable or plop yet. I've never made growable lots, or even lots with jobs, so I've got some research to do.

Anyway, I'll post future works in this thread. Comments & criticism are welcome, I really appreciate them...

You made an excellen work with the billboards lights 

I also like the shape of the building. Very nice 

[WalkingSnake]

Thanks, jeronij. The lighting was tough to get the hang of.

While that was rendering, I started work on this, another commercial:


Nothing elaborate, just made to fit in a small, urban environment.

[metasmurf]

Reminds me of simgoobers work.

[Pat Riot]

does that say lamestop? haha. nice work, good lights. interested to see where this goes.

[WalkingSnake]

It actually says "LameShop"  I generally keep real brand names out of my buildings, but I couldn't resist here.

Being compared to SimGoober is a big compliment for me, so thanks.

Now I'm having some problems with exporting. 

[BigSlark]

Your work is looking good, WalkingSnake.

Why the name "Slark," by the way? You wouldn't happen to be one of my relatives, would you?

Cheers,
Kevin

EDIT: 400 posts! I have been here for that long???

WoW very good work and i do like Slark, it has a look of a old fire house

[WalkingSnake]

Just a random name, just like "Ringleschot." I like making up my own names, because they have no language barrior and I have more freedom of what I can do. 

I'm really stuck on the Ringleschot exporting problem. The preview looks nothing like the final result. It may be on hold for a little while.

[WalkingSnake]

I got the Ringleschot Strip finished, working, and uploaded to the STEX.

I'll work on getting it to the LEX tomorrow. I don't quite understand the submission process yet...

WOW, this is the nicest W2W in an American Style I've seen, can we expect more like this from you? - I sure hope so

Ah, that's actually my mistake. I meant to save it as a zip. I'll get on fixing that.

At some point I'll work on custom installers.

[jacqulina]

very nice work

[Pat]

sweet thank you walking for the quick response.....   

[WalkingSnake]

I've reworked Slark's size and style more. I made the word "Slark" a lot less noticeable. I'd rather this building blend in than stick out. I've also majorly adjusted the scale and some textures.



Here's something else I've been working on a bit:


A new children's museum. It's made to fit the same style I use on my previous buildings.

[Heblem]

wow excellent work  i like the last building

[Chrisadams3997]

I really like it(both buildings,) the only thing I can say, and this is nitpicking a little, is I don't particularly like the round 'smudge' on the roof of Slark's, looks too much like a single paint stroke in photoshop.  Other than that, great job.

[Pat]

Ws Slark's rework looks great and also for the new bat as well...
