Prepo's BAT thread

[prepo]

Sorry, this set will be Finnish/European..
Maybe my next building could fit in North American cities too? It's based on Stockmann department store in Helsinki.
Real building is such a large complex (fills nowadays the entire block and part of another) so decided to make it smaller, I'll call it "Stickmann"

These nightlights and texture: Unbelievable 

[Sim Shady]

ooh dang that looks good

[Krio]

You could do the whole Stockmann instead of Stickmann  But why not name it Tukkimies like in Aku Ankka 

Still great job, like a photograph. The newer parts of the Stockmann are very complex and they are expanding it. But could you add that light tower to the roof, the white one which has Stockmann's logo? I like that for some odd reason very much 

The Kolme Seppää-statue is awesome, but maybe it could be little smaller?

And finnish: Ajattelin itse batata tämän kokonaisuudessaan, mutta mitä turhia kun teet näin hyvää työtä  Itse voisin Helsingin maamerkeistä "luoda" Senaatintorin rakennuksia tai Helsingin kaupungintalon tämän seuraksi.

Definetely

Looks great, I like the roof

[mightygoose]

thats ok, i didnt say there was anything wrong with the style, it just makes it harder to incorporate them into my region, i was being selish

[sebes]

That department store is awesome! 

Just wondering: will these be growable or plops?

[rooker1]

OMG..........OMG........that is awesome.  When availiable for DL it's going in my city, Finnish/European, what ever, it's too good to pass on.
This is one of the best bats I've ever seen. Textures and night lighting is top notch.

..too much for gmax and my computer..

Just wondering: will these be growable or plops?

Unfortunately only plops are possible.

When will this be downloadable?

Some day I hope.. Maybe I now have enough buildings to call this a set..? More details, maybe some scaling, hi-res renders, better lotting, modding are needed before release.. it will take some time.

I've made 5 different footprint models for batters as glenni and bengt requested:

there are 2 different sized corner buildings (1 and 1½ diagonal "tiles" long)
             1 normal diagonal building (1 diagonal tile long)
             2 orthogonal/diagonal corner buildings.
Enough different sizes to start with?

[Krio]

LEGOs! Thank you prepo for these 

But hey, rename Stickmann to Tukkimies
