Pat Riot's BAT thread

[Pat Riot]

skyliner-yep, it is fenway

dogfight-thanks, the feild was only there to show how the lights work, it is not mine.

I've finished the "walls" and started to work on bullpens and dugouts. After that i will do onfeild details, like the tarp, scoreboard on the monster,  advertisements etc. etc. Then i will start working on the seating. Im having trouble finding good pics of the dugouts and bullpens, mostly dugout. I did the bullpen off of some not so good live earth/google earth screens, and the dugouts off of my memory.

Though I'm not a fan of baseball (or Finnish version of it) this looks good. Very good

[scotty222]

Good progress on that

[bat]

Very nice work you have shown there! And it looks very great!

[Pat Riot]

havin a problem with the fens so while i ask people for help ive started this

Quick little tower, couple shapes and lattices, need to make base and interior for the roof.

will be 260 m tall, called papelbon tower.

[Krio]

More pictures, OR ELSE 

[Pat Riot]

almost done with paps, ill get a render if i can. ive also started a 99 restraunt in GMAX because its my favorite restraunt and everyone has been wanting this (who lives in new england...ive also heard a lot of bertuccis requests)

oops forgot the pic :p

im working on triangularing (New word!) those boxes on the right. then i need to add the slanted roof parts. This is about 80 percent based of the one in my town.

[Krio]

It looks promising. If you want some wood-textures, I can provide them IF you give your awning model to me

[Pat Riot]

Krio-i would do that deal, BUT

unfortuantly, yesterday somthing happened and ive lost about 70% of my things on my computer. I still have 3ds, plugins, and my itunes, but thats just about it. So all my old scenes are gone, because they were saved on a different account (the one where the problem happen), and so is gmax, which held the 99. So now i have no projects (luckily i have both the exported files for the park, look for it soon!), and have decided to start working on some buildings on BC's campus. I will show you guys pics soon.


Krio-ill pm u bout the awning.

[Pat Riot]

heres where im at with the BC dorm. Next i will add window frames and facade details, then I will do the roof.

[Krio]

Dang, that's looks more better than your works so far
And sorry about the crash-thingy. You should backup your files to memory-stick

[Pat Riot]

1st off-

tommorow i am going to make a roof junk scene, with every peice i can think off and then i can just merge it into future projects and delete the objects i don't need.



what are those weird shadows and how can they be fixed?

[dogfight]

Hey PR:
The papelbon tower is beautiful. The sun reflections are very well done. As soon as I get up and running again I'll be asking your advice as to how it's done

[bat]

Nice work so far on that building, Pat Riot! 

[Pat Riot]

ready for texturing

[Krio]

Excellent! The trees look awesome, where did you get them? Maybe more roofjunk too?

[Pat Riot]

grater b-they come with 3ds, i just changed the leaf colors. The roof junk is even less in RL, I add those green fans there to make it more interesting.

[bat]

Looking nice these textures! Good progress!

[kwakelaar]

A nice building so far, I notice a few things with your model though: the roof has no overhang, seems almost a little too small for this building the walls are extending further than the roof. The door in the courtyard seems very small and the windows on the first and second floors on the entrance part are too close to the corner. This is almost impossible to achieve without having a window going around the corner.
And I would say render the bat without the courtyard park. It is much easier to make custom LODs and mostly makes the bat more usable and looking better.

[Pat Riot]

kwakelaar-wow thought you were dogfight for a second  The roof i didnt think had an overhang in real life but i will check. Thanks for the help.
