Pat Riot's BAT thread

[dogfight]

Great job PR. Very modern looking. The base (which in many cases is overlooked) looks great. Can I get a closeup (of the base)?

[Pat Riot]

At the request of the LEX scrutineers, i have decided to add nightlights to the MI park once I fix my BAT4MAX. can anyone help me?

im thinking of combining the MI park 2 and MI Capitol into an MI pack.

[Krio]

I can do lighting for you  You know my gmail-address, send the file there with textures so I render it too. I'm already thinking the lighting

[Schulmanator]

MI pack?? Sounds delish! 

[Pat Riot]

on the fiftyith try I get B4M to work. I'll export the unnamed tower tmr, and hopefully the park later.

Krio- Sure, you can do it.

[Pat Riot]

my comp is too old slow, so the render will be delayed a while. Park should be redone soon, as should capitol.

right now capitol is shaping up to 6x4ish, and 6 stories tall, so it shouldnt be too tough of a render. Ive done some work on the base, I still have 3 sides to do though, plus a few underground entrances!


edit: this pic is pretty fuzzy, ill have a better pic tmr. sry

[Krio]

Oh wow It looks good now young Grater. Texturing should not be hard, waiting textures very much.

[Schulmanator]

Wow! The capitol is looking AWESOME!!! 

[Pat Riot]

Tower still hasnt been rendered, im hoping i can do it over the next week,
park V2 will be ready this weekend probs

And Capitol is pretty much done being modeled

Ive done the base for all four sides. I dont see any issues except for the tall doors on the side, the push bar is raised too high. I understand those doors are like, two yao mings tall, but I intended for them to be that way.
Also i may do something more to the side tall arched windows, they are kinda boring.

[Schulmanator]

Lookin' good! Big doors or not... after all, King Kong has gotta get in somewhere!

[Krio]

Backside looks good. Now I only wait texturing. Did you btw get the lighted up park to your other email?

[Pat Riot]

texturing hopefully done, any complaints?

thanks to jasoncw for some helpful tips on the white texture.

[Krio]

Bananas' colours look too plastic and you could replace green lines from the roof with somekind of ornament.

[Pat Riot]

I had to redo the towers glass so it would render right, here it is

[Krio]

New textures looks MUCH better than previous ones! Awesome skyscraper Pat Riot, maybe the best tower of January 

[Pat Riot]

sigh....

Both the capitol and the tower have way to many objects. They won't render. Im going to be spending the next few days (although these things turn into weeks) cutting down till i have it under 200, then i will try to export agian.

In the meantime, me and travis will be turning crappy google warehouse stadiums in passible SC4 lots.

I will also begin Skypoint, this time with a reduced-object modeling style

[Pat]

Pat lovin the Capitol and I hope you sure do get it rendered correctly...

[Schulmanator]

Keeping my fingers crossed on the capitol!

[Pat Riot]

well, i continue to have problems rendering in 3ds, so until those get fixed, ill be making quick small buildings in GMAX.

This is "Pat Riot's", my own sports bar that imo belongs where "Game on" is across from fenway.
The neon isn't very bright at night in gmax, but im guessing it will look fine with the gizmo day/night mod.
