Xiahou's BAT Showcase

[XiahouDun]

I threw together a quick texture sample if anyone sees any errors or room for improvement:

[XiahouDun]

I have the texture and prop packs all set up and I'm happy how they've turned out. I could really use some testers to go over them to see what they think (since I don't have too much experience with making lots, its kind of foreign to me still). What I need out of testers is to see if they can't find any bugs or small details I missed, testing the props with different textures (and in the case of the light posts, testing them with different light cones since none are included in the pack), the overlays with different base textures, their opinions on the functionality of the textures and props, and any suggestions to improve the pack. If there is anyone willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Just post if you are willing to test and I can PM you a link. Thank you.

In game preview of the props and some of the textures (there are 50 total overlays, so I tried to just got the widest variety)


I noticed a small issue with the speedbumps in game. Would this be cause by the being too small maybe?

[Pat]

hmmm thats a good question there XD... See my PM to you about testing 

BTW I just noticed this weird number for a post 3333, So what would the square root of that be?

[XiahouDun]

Refit the LODs on the speedbumps and the problem is gone

Before starting my next house, decided to go back and fix the night lighting on my first two houses that I just wasn't happy with. New lights:

[Pat]

Eric that is stunning !!!    great job on those...

[XiahouDun]

Latest house completed other then the finish touches unless someone sees any issues.

[XiahouDun]

Alt color scheme finished. House looks like its made out of chocolate now

Your homes for my point of view looks realistic, you could do with that same home different variation of textures and modeling sections to make more and have variety. Keep on 

Also I really like your props of your parking lots, i find them soo useful, except for the parking lot texture I think those need some work etc. Again I offer my help for the textures if you want, just by making a remplacement with your same IDD or better making new one? what do you think? also I could help making diagonal texture parking lot textures I have been working on LBT Prop Pack 3 and one of my main goal is making parking lot stuff realistic, as you see i have done several cars for the parking lots (including families of diagonals) I was thinking in doing almost the same props like you did but i think I could be a waste of time doing the same that you did! So my idea or plan is to make a new texture set using your props and my props, what do you think?

In a near future I'll be making many US-style restaurants and department stores with those props and textures as main dependency, so this just for to have a better organization.

Thanks you! Sorry for my bad English 

[XiahouDun]

Since the textures are already up on the LEX, I'm kind of timid to do any changes to them now. I really pretty happy with how they turned out. So really it'd be better to make a new one that kind of works together with it. I have no problem at all with you using my props, or expanding upon them (which is why I named it a starter pack, so people could use them or their own variations mixed in). I look forward to seeing what you've got in store

[Pat]

LoL Eric that is looking sweet the chocolate house yummies....

I love your parking textures, I'll be using them shortly.

Houses look great too, the textures especially.
By the way, my offer back on page 1 to lot and/or mod the houses for you still stands.

Thank you. I remember and am still considering it. I still have props to go with these so there is still a while before I'm ready to lot them

The house in your reply #67 ... It's well done. A couple of vent pipes or furnace flue would be the icing on the cake.

[Pat]

Sweeeet much better and as Jim says that defintly puts the Chocolate Icing on the Chocolate Cake!!!!

[XiahouDun]

HUGE thanks to Pat for helping me by modding/lotting/testing these for me. Helped me find where the issues in my BATs are. Have a few fixes to make thanks to this test, should help my future houses too.




Little bummed the lights are shining through the rails to the ground on the last house I made, since I think that effect looked great, but I'm more than happy just seeing my things in game

[Pat]

I think whats scary is I am somewhat getting good at this sorta thing.... XD it was my pleasure in getting this done for you and I would be more then happier to help you out when ever!!! I also didn't plan for the houses to grow like that either, it just happend and that scared me lol...

[XiahouDun]

Oh hey, just noticed one of the houses is backwards Reiter house should be facing the other way I should have noticed that one right away since its my house lol.

As for how they grew, that ended up perfect since it lets me check scale to various houses in game.
