Tag_one's Place

[tag_one]

cammo2003 Thanks! Same story here. I block most of the maxis buildings so Prentiss and Tucson are growing a lot here too 

Samuel Thanks, it took me quite some time to get the glass textures look right. Especially the opacity during night time was hard.

caspervg Thanks, the Gardena building was placed in beta yesterday evening. So with a bit of luck you can download it soon from the LEX.

This morning I worked on the building again, most things are finished now. The only thing I've got to do is making a custom foundation for it. Here are some shots from the setback and the roof.

The model itself looks great, I'm just not so sure of the texture of the glass.

The setback and roof is looking very nice, tag_one!

[Glenni]

It's looking quite nice Tag, all though the blue glass is a bit too saturated i'd say, try making it a bit less strong, if ya can.
Here's a quick edit i made of the pic in photoshop.



What i tried was -50 saturation, and -11 in light/darkness, hence making it darker.

rooker1 Thanks. I've changed the colors of the glass a bit as Glenni suggested

Bat Thanks

Glenni Many thanks for your suggestion. I've desaturated the texture as you suggested. In my opinion you darked the glass a bit to much in your image, so I darkened the texture by 5 instead of 11. I just wanted to keep it a bit more blue you see
Anyway here's a shot from the building with the new texture:



What you guys think?

[rooker1]

Looks better for sure, but can we have a closer shot.

Robin 

[tag_one]

Sure 



This time I've also added true reflections on the windows to reflect the umbrellas and stuff on the setback. I'm not very sure about it, it makes the building a bit chaotic imo. 

[rooker1]

Yup, I like it.

Robin 

[Glenni]

Ah yes, now the glass looks really good!

That's really nice there, also impatiently waiting on that building to be released now. Perhaps if you could add some people on the terrace/het terras, it would look even better, and more lively. The pine trees on the back of the lot look a bit of place aswell, a cottonwood/maple/... would look much better there.

Actually, I don't think that's part of the lot. It looks like a 2x3, (as in 2 facing the road) to me. It's not just that, the base texture on that section suggests to me modified BSC Park grass lot.

Robin Thanks

Glenni Again many thanks for your advice about the facade

caspervg I guess you have to wait a while. The Hagestede Apartments bugfix was placed in beta a week ago and I still haven't got a reply whether or not it works properly. I guess the scrutineers are busy with other things atm With a bit of luck this one will be placed in beta this evening.
About the trees, they are like Cammo said, part of a park. They don't belong to the tower

cammo Indeed, they are part of a bsc park 

some news. I tried to make a custom foundation for this one, but I got a bit annoyed with it since it didn't act the way I wanted to. So unfortunately this one won't be slope friendly.
I'll place it in beta this evening. Hopefully I can upload it to the public lex soon

[bat]

Looks really better now there!

[tag_one]

^^ Thanks Bat.
I placed the building in beta this morning. You can download it from the Lex soon 

And now...


DUBAI TIME

golden windows... I was bored and wasn't in the mood of starting a new project

[Hogmeister]

I think the gold works extremely well 

[ky72x]

Ah, I see what picture you used.  Your comments on it is precisely what I was aiming for, so thanks again! 

Excellent job on both towers, can't wait for them (as well as that industrial warehouse) to be completed.  I know many people who'll also put each building to good use.

^^ Thanks for all the comments 
I've got good news and bad news for you. Lets start with the bad news: I'll place the dirty industrial building in the freezer for a while. But don't worry other dirty ones will follow sooner or later...
The good news. Two new buildings are nearing completion and an update for my old Hagestede apartment set is on its way. Yesterday I was in need for an larger I-m warehouse. So I made this building:

The images is already a bit outdated as I've desaturated the textures a bit as Andreas suggested me.

I've also made a small CO$$ office. I know nothing special, but I missed small CO$$ buildings. And I'll have to have some of them before I can block Maxis hideous offices 

Thanks for the Gardena!!!So good!

[CasperVg]

My wishes and dreams have been fulfilled! Thanks a ton for the Gardena-building! 

[tag_one]

Mike Thanks. I think I'll upload the gold version as a stage 8 CO$$$ building. I'll try to place it in beta this afternoon on the private lex

Kyle Thanks

Adept2Rock Thanks, I'm glad to hear you like it.

caspervg Thanks. The other ones will be uploaded soon. ATM the BSC scrutineers are busy with other things  () so I guess you all have to wait a while before they'll uploaded to the public lex

[Adept2Rock]

If you want make a other brand factory no problem!
