New Airport Terminal (My first BAT)

[joelyboy911]

Well, on the AC Team's terminals, the jetway blocks 1 window row, all the way across it. Whereas on yours, the jetway blocks parts of windows, so it looks out of place. You could just have no windows at the height of the jetway.

Really nice terminal.
This version is beautiful.

I think the windows looked better in the previous version (the colour was closer to green, the new one is closer to blue - or I'm wrong?) and is a tad on the saturated side.

As for dust on the roof, you just have to add some "noise" effect (turn it to BW if it's coloured, and then colourise it a little, use gray/brown tint - better add a new layer in Photoshop, so that you can adjust its opacity). I think it's not easy with the texture you are using, because it's too large. If the resolution is high, BAT blurs the image and many details are lost). I would suggest that you use a resolution of up to 10-12 pixels per meter (I mean a gmax/3ds "meter") if you are exporting in low (standard) definition, and 12-16 if you are exporting in HD (btw these models are quite large, so I think HD is not needed). Take a look at this thread for more details.

If your resolution is well above the aforementioned values, you are loosing details. It would be better to scale (shrink) the texture in Photoshop or PSP instead of letting BAT do this for you, as the quality you can achieve in these tools is MUCH better than BAT's. If you tile the image (yourself) in Photshop/PSP you can then apply a gradient to the dust/weathering overlay and play a little with the (pseudo-) light effects, ie make it darker and/or more opaque at the lower parts of the texture, this looks much more realistic.

Well I worked with the jetway windows again and I think it looks much better.



Things are slowly progressing and I thank everyone for their input and help.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials on night lighting?

[tahill79]

Wow!!  Amazing job wyrick!!   

[kimcar]

  Excellent work on those terminal mate . Good things to put peoples props. I like the design a lot too. Keep it up

[tamorr]

  Great work on this... I like the look of the changes you've made.

For nightlighting you could check the STEX Omnibus... That might help.

[KoV Liberty]

WOW. That looks awesome man! Keep up the great work! Maybe next some corner and ends lots?

[wyrick]

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.

Driftmaster07 - I do hope to get started on some end and corner pieces in the near future.  Trying to play with the night lighting right now.

Here is a pic of me trying out the night lighting

[KoV Liberty]

Well? No replies in a month! I think not, a very great job you are doing there. Nice nightlighting!

[seraf]

Great work It looks very ...  aesthetically. 

[WC_EEND]

Great job, as seraf already said, it's very pleasing to look at

[Gilikov1994]

please upload it as soon is possible...

[Husinho]

very nice! just one question. how did you get the entrance ramp line up so well with the elevated road? what is the hight of the ramp?

[banditp61]

[MR.Y]

looks great...

Patience my friend. He will let us know when that time comes.


wyrick: I guess you are repeating the texture. Try to "array" the texture, so it cover the whole roof. Then add noise to it, as cogeo suggested.

I'd hate to sound like a pessimist here, but wyrick's last post in this topic dates from november 13 2009, so it seems unlikely that it'll ever get released

....and he hasn't been active since November 14, 2009


Think you are right. To bad, it was a good start batting.
