just another doodle 

[Pat]

LoL Auto that doodle its looking intresting... Are you going further with this or???

[Shadow Assassin]

Well, it looks kind of casino-ey... so who knows?

[Pat Riot]

nice. We don't see alot of BATs with one or more skyscrapers sharing the same base, although thats very common in reallife. It looks interesting!

Are you willing to be against the house on that? 

[autoVino]

thanks for the comments everyone.
here is a current version of the building/complex [link]
here is also a preview of the base (zoom four) [link]

[Pat Riot]

you are crazy you know that? Windows are awesome. I wish I could do them that well :p The base is spectacular auto.

[autoVino]

thanks 
completely off topic, but this is pretty cool [link]
and here is another preview of the roof of the taller building [link] I added a hvac cooling unit some track for window cleaner and a garage like building.  zoom five, btw.

Doodle looks great I once started something similar in Gmax, but damn buildings became too heavy for poor ol' Gmax I had to destroy them

[autoVino]

hmm... I'm at 615.000 poly's and it still runs pretty smoothly 
but the the loading time when opening up the file is beggining to become consideralbe.

here are some more renders:

update on the roof.  Tell me what you think, I'm not too sure how a large radio/telecomunications tower would look like on the roof. (this tower is a telecomunications tower) so I just sketched something up.  I"m begenning to think that the extra roof junk that I just added is just that, extra.  I might remove it.  I also added a window cleaning train/cart.
here's some eyecandy [link]

here's a full zoom five (approximatly, camera angles are correct, but I think it's just a tad bit larger) [link]

[Shadow Assassin]

Could be the headquarters for a large TV broadcasting company, you know.

[hint: we need a BAT that fulfills that purpose... and this one does it wonderfully]
Great job.

[Pat]

ooooh yea Auto i totaly agree with SA on that one WOW!!!

[Pat Riot]

damn...finish and release asap. Best BAT since trixies. Seriously, I have never wanted a BAT so badly until I saw this one.

[autoVino]

thanks for the comments everyone!  But now I have to say I'm getting into my "busy" mode... that is now and in the near future I probably won't have much time for anything... 

but here are some things I did recently on the building (don't wory, I haven't forgotten the other projects yet!  I'll try to find some time tonight to get a render started on the other building)
Renders of the other tower.  I did some basic sketching on how the roof will turn out. [link] [link]
Here is some roof junk that I'm working on... mostly hvac units.


I've changed them around just a bit... so small details don't look like that (the bottom one, I think, has waayyy to high of a poly count and it's really slowing down renders... that or the materials)

[Krio]

All your roofjunk are belong to us. Great work, waiting these towers.

not in the mood for these fancy industrial things. today i learned the US was wasting 8 billion just to build somthing that could smash together protons....

but it still looks awesome!

ohhh... don't worry this isn't nothing as fancy (or expensive!) as that... just to keep the bulding a nice 10 degreese C in 30 degree weather 

I probably won't be albe to start a render tonight, I'm way of my time budget tonight so that's a bit of a problem (that and the fact that I"m typing this right now  )

[Pat]

Auto you are truely gifted!!! cant wait to get ahold of your wonderful stuff soon.......

[autoVino]

thanks!

unfortunatly I have run out of disk space so I'm working on trying to free some space up.  So far I've added another hard drive and am working on moving major applications there (3ds max, autodesk applications, office, adobe applications, etc).  So far I've got 3ds max set up and working, but I still have to install bat4max.
