Aaron Graham's BATs

[vester]

Great work. Can only second sunv123. 

Like the way you get the details in the windows to show.
What width do you use on the mullions in the windows ?


How do you make all the greenery ? What sort of technique do you use ? 

[Girafe]

Looks sweet 

[RepublicMaster]

What a stunner! It looks great!

[rooker1]

I love the fact that you take the time to make several different textures for each of your models!!
Awesome work once again.

sunv123- Thank you!!!

vester- Thnak you, the width of my mullions is 0.1 meters, How I make my greenery I use Onxy Broadleaf. My technique is very basic unless I have  to make something very detailed, I do poly model, I try not to have a bunch of objects to make up one object.

Girafe- Thank you!!!

RepublicMaster- Thank you!!!

rooker1- Thank you, I try my best on all my projects.

Now what to bat next? Looks like I'm back to thinking on what I can complete before the month is over with.

I am thinking about working on this one, It looks like it will not take as long to make.



These are other buildings I have my eye on. :O

Ohhhhhh, it's a good day now.
More models from you can make anyone's day better.

[sunv123]

Looking good

I like the row of windows in the middle, make the building seems a bit.. modern

[vester]

Looks like a good start. 



Would love to hear how you model.

I guess you do poly-modelling. Guess you are connection edges and detaching polygons for windows.

[Aaron Graham]

sunv123 Thank you, I do love the look of the black-brick spandrels.

vester- Yes, I am poly modeling. My modeling is close to Darn42 on ST, he has a thread on Simtropolis. I do have some videos on Youtube on how I model. My account is Zwisk100.

You can look at many  videos on poly modeling and it can help you a lot.

Back to the Window question. My window mullions can be a small as 0.02m to 0.1m depending on the look of the windows on real life.

Another update, next update I will show the back the building, so you can see the work on that side of the building.

[metarvo]

I'm sure this will be a fine building, Aaron.  Even before the textures are added, the architecture of the building seems quite sound.

[Aaron Graham]

metarvo- Thank you, buddy!!!


NYBT Townsley

Here's the update of on the Townsley, you have a look at the front and the back of the building.

[Girafe]

The BAT machine starts again after GTA 

[cprimm]

[Girafe]

You should highlight your tutorial videos as they are really interesting for all batters. I never know that you did BAT tutorials
