mcdrye - B.A.T. it again

[MR.Y]

@WC_EED: I said if it is for normal railway...

and it looks good...

[mcdrye]

Currently working on the 90 degree turn piece so that it matches the new design

Also, as promised here are some pic's of my Lucky Penny Casino

As you can see it's nearly done but I wanna hear suggestions etc!

[Dark_Jedi06]

Beautiful.

I want these before I start up city-building again...so hurry up!

[Buzzit]

amazing! look at those reflections!

[Sciurus]

Oh Gott

Guillaum

[thingfishs]

wow, top work

I'm loving these buildings reflecting themselves, they add so much (jasoncw did a great one recently). Normal reflections on buildings are nice but when you can actually see what's being reflected, the impact is far greater. I'm going to have to have a go at something similar one day.

And the actual bat itself is excellent with lot's of extra details to keep things interesting, and a fantastic sign at the entrance.

Hey McDyre.  Just a quick query on the SSR lot sizes.  I tried to do a 1x1 of Nobs pieces but Chrisim said he had some issues with the modding of them due to them being effectivly stations.  I'd suggest we get some NAM experts in here (thank god my NAM badges is overridden by the moderator one  ) to take a look.

But these look fantastic and make me want to play all over again.

Love the heading for your sunken rail items. I remember Buddybud has something going back in 2007. He was able to have automa with actual transit functionality running in his sunken lots.Unfortunately his hd had a crash and all of that was lost. Now here we are a few years later and you are doing what I thought went boom along side Buddybud's dead hd. All I gotta say is...I cannot wait and great job on your bat as well.

The SSR pieces are just a neverending nightmare! Curves won't be possible because of issues with base textures. What I really need is for base textures to have both solid and missing bits on the same tile which I don't think is possible. I've also been playing with a kinda 'sunken wall' version of it as a means to overcome these issues, as suggested long ago, but that in itself presents problems with NAM overpass networks passing level over the 10m deep railway, I don't want humpback bridges all over the place. The easy route is to just have eye candy lots, but I would rather they had moving trains.

Now I'm still working on the casino, and, as I said earlier, I had to rearrange the parking ramp. Here is it's current status, BUT please ignore the palm trees, I've no idea why they rendered like that but it's not intended, plus, the roof texture needs work, plus other little tidbits.



P.S. Boy does this casino take forever to render, like 30mins, annoying when you change one thing and want to see how it looks, I've tried to optimise parts but I think its all the fancy reflections and such.

...but the outcome of the renderings, is making for a 'wow' of a model...

[Aaron Graham]

I like the building, keep it up. Can't wait till it's finished.

[mcdrye]

Another view

[noahclem]

Wow, that looks outstanding! 

[rooker1]

Great model.
I like the underground parking at the side of the building inside of the back.  For me.....I just wish it didn't have the palm trees.

Nice model with great detailing. This will be a perfect add on to someones seaside boardwalk district.

Beautiful model  It's not the style of architecture I like but your model is so good that I don't see that Great work on the reflections and details 

[mcdrye]

Here is a night shot at the usual SC4 angle, though the pool area lighting needs tweaking. Also, check out the bulb lighting, notice how not all the bulbs are working.

This is beautiful! HD render?
