romualdillo's little BATs & Problems

[c.p.]

This is going to be a great set.  The color variations look really good to me.  Also, I like that the buildings are a couple of different widths.

Vizoria, Simcoug, c.p.: Thank you all for your comments!!!!

New corner version of Casa Arcos:



I hope you like it!!! Next to come: colour variations.

The doors looks a bit tall. Maybe add some steps to it.
Not sure, but I think they should go into the foundations.

[romualdillo]

This is the complete model, without being separated in two different LOD boxes (house and foundation). The house's LOD is bigger than the building, to prevent it from looking half buried. c.p. told me about that, and I think it's the best working method.

The doors of these houses may be really tall, especially when the interior floor is higher than the street level. Here you have an example (yes, it's the original Marchiaro building). Here you can see that the door's size is taller than 3,5 meters. (plus the window over it)

I really loved how you built the roof. So neat! Keep up the good work, dude! 

[c.p.]

The corner building turned out great.  The door does look slightly little odd to me, but should work better on a steep slope than a shorter door would.

[vester]

Ahh there was a reason.


Sometimes the size of things on computer can look messed up, specially if you compares bats.
Like the way you done the stairs on the outside.

The foundations are really nice, good work.

[romualdillo]

Thank you all for your comments!!!

I don't know if I'm doing the best representation of this type of house. Normally they have very high ceilings (4,5 to 5 meters) (15-17 feet), so all the elements look very tall. The doors look even taller if the interior floor is higher than the street level. There can be shops between the floor and the street level, too. I play with this height to hide the stairs on small slopes and to avoid that the building gets buried by the slope on bigger ones. It works OK for me, but if you see something that has to be changed, please tell me!

Great work again - the foundations are top notch! 
I actually like those tall doors - I think they compliment the style of buildings and they look quite elegant.   

[romualdillo]

Thank you Simcoug!!!

I think this is going more slowly than I thought, but here's the progress:





Next to come: The blind back wall variation... Step by step

[c.p.]

I like the color variations
The overall quality of this, with all the intricate details, the excellent texturing, the slope handling, etc, is really impressive.

[noahclem]

Your progress is looking excellent    I can't say enough good things about those foundations and the slope tolerance

[vortext]

Yep yep yep, my sentiments exactly. The houses are fantastic,the foundations are icing on the cake!

Romualdillo has shown a great variety of creations in his thread while gaining more knowledge of the BAT. Come see what surprises he has for us during the month of December in the OSITM!

On behalf of the SC4Devotion Of Special Interest This Month Committee, congratulations!

[noahclem]

Congratulations Romualdillo    This is a very well-deserved honor!

[romualdillo]

Thank you very much!!! It's a great honour!! I feel really overwhelmed, and I'll try to do my best during this month.

As OSITM first update I want to share with you a little building I started long time ago. It's based (or copied, or inspired, or whatever...) on a building in Viareggio, Italy: a little CS$$$ bookstore. It still has all the problems of my older buildings: colour saturation, depth, roof texture... But it's a sample of the commercial buildings I want to add to the set in the future.



I hope you like it!!! Be patient, it's not finished at all!! 

[vester]

Wonderfull work as always.

[noahclem]

Very nice    It's neat to see a different style from you and this one seems really unique. It could fit in very nicely in Arabic style city as well.

Congratulations on being OSITM! Well deserved indeed! 

The shop facade is very nice, I like that kind of art deco-ish design a lot!
