jestarr's stuff

[jestarr]

OK, glad it all worked out for you.

This new model is very realistic as all of your industries.

[BigSlark]

I am amazed at how quickly you manage to release very high quality models, jestarr. I was out of the country for a month and had six new BAT's and two prop packs of yours to install.

Keep up the amazing industrial work and I look forward to the next release!

Cheers,
Kevin

Thanks folks, your comments are greatly appreciated!   I was searching the net for something and came across a pic of a building that caught my eye (so what's new, right).  Anyway, I whipped this up yesterday and it seems ok.  The textures need some adjustments and I'll change some of the roof stuff, but it's basicly complete.  By the way, this building was never a factory.  I think it was really used for storage.  Cheers!

Looks great  You sure are a bating machine

That warehouse looks excellent, jestarr.  Just the sort of thing for my inner-city industrial district.

BTW, Schwartz Chemical makes for a great power plant as well as a factory...

I second Metasmurf, you are a bating machine.  You amaze me at your superior qualtiy and the speed at which you release your stuff.  Great work.

Underhill Casket Factory
Valley Produce Packing

@patfirefghtr:  most are around the 50% mark, although on two the modeling is complete.  It's the texturing that is holding them up.  I'm not good at making textures and it takes me forever to get them the way I want them to be.

[Krio]

Can't say anything else than positive things!  great work for much needed factories!

[Jasoncw]

For your windows, try adding this texture on top of what you currently have:



It is one of the textures that one of the Maxis developers gave to us a while back.

For making one texture that fits across all of the windows, read this tutorial if you don't already know how.


Anyway, keep up the good work.  Not many people make industrial buildings.

[Sim Shady]

cool to see you here jason!  not very many people may make industrial BATs, but between Jestar, marcszar, Fukuda and gascooker, we have an impressive, high quality collection

Nice work jestarr your Bat have made my Cities more intrestingthen before thanks can't wait for more.

[simthad]

jestarr,

I'm having a slight problem with Acme Boiler.

The surface of the long central yard, between the buildings,
is showing up as transparent.  The vehicles and equipment
are appearing, but the gray (gravel?) surface is missing.

What file(s) could I be missing?  Thanks for your help.

BTW, your industrial buildings are in a class by themselves.

[jestarr]

simthad:  if you're missing textures, I suspect you're needing BSC Textures Vol 02 found here.

[simthad]

Thanks for the information, jestarr, and the link.

[jestarr]

@ simthad:  You're welcome. 

OK, I've uploaded the Replogle Globe factory to the LEX.  Also, since a lot of folks thought that the Schwartz model looked like a power plant, I reworked the model and made into a one.  It has the same stats as the Maxis coal plant and is on the LEX.  Cheers!

[Pat]

Jestarr great new releases be looking for them in my MD soon - pat

[jestarr]

Thanks Pat, glad you like them.  I'm trying to work on my backlogged stuff and try to finish them without starting something new (like that will happen  ).  Here's a test render pic of Underhill Casket.  I haven't placed any roof junk yet, as I'm still playing with the building textures.  I've changed them three times and will probably change them a forth.  Anyway, here's the pic.  Cheers!
