non-asian branch of SimFox' pixel torture chamber

[mightygoose]

 think the brown groundplane is vastly superior

[FromTheAshes]

It looks so much better now Please write tutorials man, I wanna learn how you do that masterpieces!

[jeronij]

Now looks much better imo  . You are using so many tools and parameters in MAX that I get lost, but I can say I like the result  

[Krio]

Yes, it looks better now  How are the other colours coming, or are you doing them anymore?

[SimFox]

Marcszar:
Thanx!
I guess it is like black and white photography; by removing color (textures) it forces you to concentrate on pure lines, shapes and volumes.
Bengt:
Other colors are possible. I just want to get one done to the end and then substituting colors would be mere technicality, well that and "artistic" bit of choosing one...

Here is a little update on "Red" Finally I got roof done... Still not sure about the texture, but I spent the whole day today building it.
Any one got any suggestion?





PS
There is little difference between those shots, as I've been experimenting with different settings for ground plane, the texture on it is same though...

[mightygoose]

the bottom left one is perfect, i cannot see a single flaw. its time to do the nitelites and get this badboy on the lex, your first release will be greatly appreciated.

[Krio]

Loving this more than McDonald's (you know the ad I'm lovin it) 

[Pat]

SimFox im so amazed wow... as MG said get this puppie on the LEX...

[Shadow Assassin]

Beautiful work. Don't forget to make one as a prop, it'll be useful.

[bat56]

Simfox... Look superbe IMO. 
Except the brown roof, it is like a parquet floor out of wooden... you can surely find a better one.

[SimFox]

Thank you everyone, it is near completion... But there are still few touches left to be done. I'm sure gonna make one a prop, but there will be "deLuxe" model with little base, garage entrance and little landscaped garden.

bat56:
Well, it isn't parquet, just look at the size of the planks. It is wooden decking this is not quite a roof but a patio. As I've said above it isn't quite finished yet.

[Antoine]

This is incredible !!! 

[callagrafx]

You probably wouldn't want wood at that elevation, even treated it'd need replacing in around a year (ground pollution, hot air rising, aircon units throwing out CFC's)...I'd recommend some form of patio paving.  Also, there is no access to the raised roof section, but you can probably get away with a steel ladder rather than steps.

Nice detailing and the colour will certainly make it visible in-game 

[SimFox]

Hm...
To be honest I fail to see how elevation of 100 or so meters would have on wood such a radical effect that would completely exclude it use for decking. What is a ground pollution?? Hot air rising?? What hot air and from where would it rise? And where are those aircon units and why should they necessarily throw out CFC's (btw aren't their use is banned by some international treaty?)
At any rate wood decking is getting more and more common,. I believe it is all about fashion, Paving is out wood is in, Technologically there are NO reasons for it not to work, besides, I have wooden decking on my patio/terrace, it has been there for 5 years now and need NO fixing.

[Shadow Assassin]

Oooh, I just noticed the wooden decking. It looks very nice.

Cal: I'd have to echo SimFox on the use of wood decking - there are new treating compounds available nowadays that give wood increased resistance against that which you speak of. Plus, I highly doubt A/C units would have much of an effect in such a large building, considering they're most likely located at the top of the building. As for hot air rising, it would not have much of an effect on wood if it is protected well. I should know, we use a compound that protects our decking from the elements, and does a good job, I might add.

Love the building and I think the wooden patio on the roof looks great and is realistic.  The building I used to live in had 31 floors and the roof had a wooden sun deck for people to enjoy.  I don't remember the landlord ever doing anything to the deck in the two years that I lived there.
Great work!!

And here is another one:

Of that red tower... could you also release a landmark (Commercial maybe) overhanging a 1 by 1 lot?

That would look too perfect next to the NAM long road curve

[SimFox]

yeah! that's totally possible...
