Title: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: Aaron Graham on February 28, 2011, 01:11:25 PM
Ok, I always want to make a thread here and here it goes. I hope you guys remember these bats I have made in the past. I really want to update some of them, but I will have to see how things goes.

All these BATs are indeed very nice!!!

So you are updating these BATs. I have a small request, can you modify one of the models to match the ingame Fennel Corp (a NY style CO$$) as far as the bldg/base layout is concerned? It tends to overtake my cities at some development stages (yes, I do use the building styles). If you make a new model and building exemplar, and add it into the same bldg family as Fennel Corp and similar stats, this would halve occurences! No lotting work is required, as the bldg will be growing on maxis lots (the same as Fennel Corp), and believe me, they are really many!

I'm doing the same work for two other very annoying buildings, Chalmers Co and Modde Inc. I'm making three additional compatible (but not identical, not even similar) BATs for each of the two. Though these buildings belong to the NY and Houston tilesets respectively, Maxis has modded them to grow in all four styles. Mine are quite generic, so I will set them to grow in all four styles too. I'll post pics when I have something ready.

Girafe- Thank you!!! I am a fan your work. ;D

cogeo- Thank you!!! I mostly want to update the Worthington Apartments textures Sunset Apartments textures and work on Kingsbridge Apartments. What buildings you you want me to work on. Do you think it would be good to just create a new building? One thing about this thread here it does not say Residentail so that mean I can work on commercial, industries and other things.

I'm going to get to the night light lights soon, they should have been finished but I have been a little lazy. O yea, these are slope friendly.

It's nice to see that you've set up a thread here!  It's nice to have more choices available for medium and dense Residential to build in those inner-city areas.  The textures are beautiful, and the other details (such as window A/C units) add so much to the buildings.

Post by: Aaron Graham on March 07, 2011, 01:47:58 PM
baconrocky- Thank you!! For the Kingsbridge Apartments I will not make a corner bat for it because there's not a corner building that looks like it, unless I create my own verson of what it may look like but it will take so long, I'm trying to fix some things, but I have to move forward. I would love to release about twenty bat's this year but I do not know how that's going to be possible if I keep up with the slow speed.

wwecruz- Thank you!!!!

NYBT Bainbridge Row

Here's is some in game images I hope you like it, another thing I hope you like is the stairs on the corner building. The corner lot will not take really slight slopes because of being on a corner lot, but it will take some slope. I have not merge the night model with the day because I'm lazy, but I'm going to get to it. the trees on the lot will be removed, I just wanted to try something new that's all.

NYBT unnamed project

Here's a new Bronx apartment I was working on today, the modeling has gotting far. This bat I made came from the past from the NYBT thread, I lost the old model so I decided to make a new one. I have thought that it just might be a good idea for me create a new building everyday this week, just the weekdays and on the weekend I can finish up on the bats, one of my main jobs I always wanted to do is to work fast but have good or great quilty on my bats, I do not want to rush, but I want to feed you downloaders with something that is truly need in the STEX, I just hope this work. What really slow things down is making the textures and making custom LOD's, I want my LOD's to be skin tight on my slope buildings, if not things will no look good.

I thought of holding the Bainbridge Row until Gwail finish the NYBT quries. If it takes to long I may not have no choice but to upload them. everything is finished, just need to make a read me and a installer. When it comes to making installers, I think I need a person to dubble check my read me's and installers for any errors.

Buzzit-

Here's a picture of my scene, I have made the building and with that the foundation part, the piece that will show up when you have a lot in a hilly area. When it's time to do an export to the game, you want to make a custom LOD's if not the lot will not look right in the game.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg340.imageshack.us%2Fimg340%2F6281%2Fbainbridgerowgmax01.jpg&hash=a90fc1ce0386a0eff6870bedba125f169ca37e77) (http://img340.imageshack.us/i/bainbridgerowgmax01.jpg/)

when it come to making LOD's you have to be careful and try to make sure that all the items on the building are in the custom LOD's. When I made my slope frindely bats the foundation is not connected to the main building, why is this is because the foundation LOD's need to be tight as possable, all I did is make a second copy of the buildings foundation and selecet one object from the copied foundation and right click and press editable poly and attach all the items on the second foundation. When you finish your LOD's you must clone it three times name one LOD3, the next LOD4 and the last one LOD5 remember the Lods has to be right on the building model.

When it comes to making slope friendly buildings you will have to do some moding, so you will need the Iives Reader to do the moding if you don't know. were you see building foundation you want to enter in 0x194B100, if you do not see building foundation in the reader then you will have to right click and go to add property and find and add the building foundation, what this do is it get rid of the maxis foundation this will show up on you lot when it's on a hill. So the only foundation that should show up is yours. In the lot editor the things I have play with is the threhold and the elevation change, in max elevetion on my lot is 6.00 so it should not grow on a very steep hill. Anything above 4.00 like 8.00 that means it can take on a steeper hill.

 &apls Very Impressive  &apls

May I ask how you made those heads (?) on the first building. They're great. Have you imported them or...
Great details though.

And your second building is perfect although your textures have some gaps but it doesn't makes the building uglier.
Keep it up.

sim_vern- Thank you, and to put a pigeon coop on one of the roofs of the building I will need and image of that or so, if you do not mined posting an image of an pigeon coop so I can give it a try.

peter007 - Thank you, the trees are going to be green. someone was saying I should use seasonal trees, but I have to thing about that.

supremec- Thank you, I hope you did not make to much of a mess. :p

Sciurus- Thank you!!!!

kapete- Thank you!!!!

Girafe- Thank you!!!! I have looked around for some clean bricks and then in photoshop I add some dirty ness to them, like using the burn tool in photoshop and then I went layer and made a new layer then went to filter on the tool bar on photoshop  and clicked on render, and then clicked on clouds, the clouds add some darkness and some light ness to the bricks like real life, and in the layers area where is say normal I have played around with it to see which one best works for the building, I used hardmix for the Hogan apartments, then I play with the opacity, for the Hogan Apartments I have put it to 53% on the opacity. In the layers you can link the layer so you can change the brightness and the contrast, that's in the Image roll out on photoshop, it at the top of the screen next to edit, then click on adjustments to fix up the texture brightness/ contrast, like I side before and you can change the Hue and the color Balance in photoshop, I'm sure it not to different you you maybe using GIMP. Right lately I have been using the same brick textures for alot of my buildings, I just fix it up so it do not look the same, one reason way is because I feel this is the best brick textures I have ever made ;)

For the roof texture, I use the maxis roof texture and I have fixed it up in photoshop, buy layering other texture with it and use the burn tool, then I pick some areas that's going to be drak or light as you can see on the NYBT Bainbridge Row. :)

NYBT Bainbridge Row

Here's an update to one of my Bainbridge Row Apartments as most of you know they are slope friendly. I have fixed the textures to the building so it can looks a lot better, I hope you guys like it, I have stood up all night to fixing this building textures and the the best I can.

Good work! Your perspective renders of the Bainbridge Apartments is beautiful.
To me the glare is a bit to prominent on the darknite render but looks fine on the maxis night render, it's not same settings in both renders is it? I would turn down the spread of glare in the darknite version, maybe weight too.

You can see them American style, and so wrote my predecessor, I could hardly use them in my European cities, but this NYBT Park Towers Apartments already give much better for use in the European style, but rather strongly as Office Building.

As you can see this building does not have a name, I will be happy if you help me on a name, if you don't mined, I like naming the building after near by roads, rivers, parks, and locations like nighborhoods, Almost how most battles get there names. :D

The building is using the smae textures as the Bainbridge Row, I did that so I do not have to show a grey building in this render and plus to give you a feeling of waht the building is going to be like. :D

If your wondering why I have not uploaded any of my bats on the STEX, I'm waiting on Gwail to finish the NYBT queries and I need some good looking trees to go in front of the Graham and Hogan Apartments, but the Graham Apartments have not been exported, on the NYBT Bainbridge, NYBT Kingsbridge, and the Hogan Apartments have been exported out of 3ds Max. :)

Love the work you have done so far on the brick apartment building.Happy to see that you are also applying attention to the windows by giving them real depth instead of simply going to put painted windows on.Gonna make the night lighting look pretty sweet.

NYBT Park Towers Apartments

Here is the Park Towers Apartments, I have added most of the textures and I sill have more to add, this is one of the toughest buildings I work on, because it needs so many texture maps for it, like the NYBT Transportation, that building had alot of textures and it got me sick and tired of working on the building. After I do all the textures I have to redo the trees. :D

NYBT Park Towers Apartments

Ok, yesterday when I render the day south view of the Park Towers Apartments only took 16 to 20 mintues, now it's taking over an hour, it must be the lights omnis I added in the scene for my night sceen in the future, because after doing that the render is so much longer now. :(

I was thinking what if I do a building twice this so I cloned it and here's just a night image, I did no do a day, the render took 5 hours, 24 mintues. :( That makes me not want to work on something larger than this. :(

very nice indeed Aaron :thumbsup:

one small adjustment i would recommend is to adjust the brick uvw map on the NYBT Park Towers Apartments. the south and east render feel to me that the brick texture is just a little to squashed, with the correct representation of "brick" evident on the base/ground wall.

neato :)

I seriously don't know. As your textures for glass are well done, it gives the illusion of real glass.
It works for small windows with stuff in front like balcony.
Regarding bigger ones, it's less realistic but don't know if real glass could be good.

It for this reason I asked you if you already tried it. (with a good environmental map and high reflexion it could work  &Thk/()

Maybe a couple of towels hung over the railings here and there? Or some of those split-system air conditioner units to deal with the oh-so-muggy NY summers? Both of those are very simple meshes, will create variety and won't drag the render to a halt (although slow rendering times are more akin to GMAX than anything else).

Looks what's back, yep and I have worked on the trees a little, tell me what you guys think about the trees. :) Right now I'm run over 1,000,000 polygon, so I do know the trees are to blame, it's not bothering my rendering, but it is bothering my scene with the little lag, but that only in realistic mode so I can see what it will look like before the render, so it's no big deal, I'm so glad for layers. :)

Park Towers is looking good; I like the details on the balconies - that's something I would get lost in, and would take up tons of time.  I agree with a previous poster who said that maybe some towels hanging over some of the railings.  But little details like that pay off in the end, they can really bring a BAT to life.

I think SimFox mentioned it elsewhere, but it looks like the sides of Graham Apartments are tiling - there's an obvious repeat in the brick variations that bothers me.  It spoils an otherwise stellar BAT!

If your wondering why the curved edge of the building has dark spots, it's there because of all the lines to make up the rounded curved wall with the windows. :D

Moving a little slow but this building is getting close to being finished, I need to work on the store glass more it does not look right, I will get to adding the textures to the antennas. :D

The only thing left to do is to add textures to the door and antennas, model the front door, it's an arch type of door I have to make, add the ac units to the other windows, there could be more, oh yea and the night lights. :)

Edit:

Building #7

Okay guys to make you happier I have made second model, all I did of course was edit the first model, I do not mind using different texture colors to make variations of the building, but I think it's a great idea to make model a little different, the mission is not to over do it, just make small changes not tiny ones, I should not do not change no more than 70 to 80 percent of the building, I can add like a floors, remove some floors, make the water tower building cover taller, shorter, or with out a cover on top and ect, but not to much, it should still look a little like the first model.

Johnson Apartments

Here's a chair set I have made, I hope you like them. The Johnson Apartments texturing is almost finished, All I have to  do is work on the garage, the top of the chimney and the ground floor doors after that just make a second version of the building with a different brick texture. I'm looking forward to making brown, red, and white bricks. :)

Wow, those chairs.  &apls That...is some graphics skills.

I like the mottling on the brick texture, but I think I would reduce the contrast a little.  It seems like too much range between it's natural darks and lights for tan brick in the same building unless it has waterproofing issues and/or has recently rained.  It seems most noticeable on the upper half of the building, and that back wall (right side, second picture).  But, that's just an opinion, and I have to say the building is otherwise stunning.

All I did is just change the bricks and the model of the building again, I will have to move the chair set and the plants around to these two model and also I will have to come up with some more store names, so much for a batter like me. :)

On the model the uvw is a little jack up because I did not attach the edit part of the building, and fro those who does not know that's the area over the parking garage area.I also see in the brown brick model the grime is to strong so I will be turning that down a bit :)

The pictures below are the red brick (strawberry) and the brown bricks (chocolate)

NYBT Park Tower Apartments

Okay guys, I have added the trees and the bushes on the ground floor again, all I have to do on this model is fix the cutains on the other sides of the building re-texture the HVAC unit, decrease the reflection on the small roof junks, make new rail for the front of the building by scratch again, texture the garage area and do the night lights not the windows, I did that back in 2011 around august I think. I have to add direct lights and a few omnies here and there.

I hope you guys like the glass texture now, I tried my best to fix it the best way I can, oh yea and do not mine the black lines on the faced of the building I will remove them. :D

Looks good!  As for the green shingles, I think they work fine solid.  At least at that zoom and anything further out, I think it would all look the same.  Maybe on a closer zoom you'd notice they were just a solid color, but it wouldn't ruin the building.

So sad i have tripled post, the BAT threads here are not booming like they supposed to. :(

I second that remark! It's not much better at the Lot threads.... Or maybe my work is less interesting than I think.
But let's not get too negative and  :)

Your work is always excellent, like this last building too. The four options all look realistic and beautifully detailed. I really like your use of color and texture.
It's just, well... I am concentrating on Dutch rural areas. Not really a location for these beautiful apartment blocks.

But keep it up!  :thumbsup:

Aaron, I am a huge fan of your buildings. I can't wait until my town is big enough to grow them.

In your latest building, I think there should be more lit windows at night. And I had an idea: would it be hard to add just a fain blueish light to some windows so it looks like just the TV is on?

Hi Aaron,

I remember a while ago you were having troubles with making brick textures.  I was playing around with 3dsMax and found the "tiles" preset in the 2D maps.  I think this would be very helpful if you having found a satisfactory answer already.  Some of the settings allow for color variation on each brick, and since there is no Bitmap, you never have to worry about tiling.  a little fun gave me this:

Yesterday was Mies van der Rohes 125th birthday. One of his famous quotes is: "God is in the details".
I'd say: the mass of the building looks good, the detailing in stairs, entrances and fences you show makes me optimistic about the following result.

NYBT Park Towers Apartments

Okay, I think I will leave the windows like this, I do not see anyone disliking them all I will do is put the trees back on the lot and prepare to export this damn devil, I will do another night night render to make sure things are okay, I'm wasting a lot of time on the building and each render is a waste of my my time, there's better things to do like making new bats and finishing the older ones, it's been in the factory to damn long.  :noway:

What I have down on the model is just changed the roof a little I have made it a little dirty, before it look to plane and it needed more action on the roof textures.

Looks like you're using the tile for the bricks.  I don't know how complicated you've made that material, but it might not be too hard for each shade of brick to use a different random seed.  I might also suggest the 3D speckle map for the grey, it looks a little polished next to the bricks.

Anyway, it looks real good :)

Here's an in game look at the 41 park Avenue, I just have exported the first model and only the day and maxis night versions, I will get to the dark night. For this building I had to play with the alpha maps because the building goes blow ground 0, so it will take me a bit longer to export them all, just more manual modding for me to do. :D

605 Park Avenue

Here's the 605 Park Avenue, I have a few more things and the modeling can be finished. Do you guys think the back of the building is ok, I was thinking that the car parking garage will need room for cars to park the garage, it's not really underground like most building you see. over the back part of the building where the car garage is will be a court year so I will have to get some bushes chairs ect. I will also have to put chair and ect. on the tops of the building to make it look more lively. :)

NYBT 605 Park Avenue

Those who does not understand what I'm talking about the garage- The parking lot is inside the building making it a parking garage. I was asking should I add the box area on the back of the building to make the car garage look like it can carry up to 50 vehicles. On the website that shows the building layouts, there are no layouts for the first and second floors so i will have to guess whats on the in side of the first and second floor as well as the back of the building. I decided to add the box thing in the back of the building to give the building a look that it can carry more cars. :)


Here are my plans for the first and second floors I hope men under stand it?

Yellow line is the path to the stairs and the elevator.

You deserve it for your creations and your frame of mind  ;)

The last building is really interesting. I think the texture of bricks is excellent, what is it exactly? the glass is odd, indeed controversely to your previous BAT, this one has larger glass panels and in this sense I think your work with glass textures comes to its limits, maybe try glass material (really reflexive) cf. what I posted on darn42's topic on ST.  ;)

art128- Thank you, you can finish your work too, just keep trying. Sometimes it can take a long time to finish it but keep trying. :)

Ah, yes.. Though I don't know. Sometime I start something, then loose all my interest in it and start something else. And this repeats to infinite. I'm just like that. Maybe I'm not made for BATing at all..

Anyway, very nice work with the first textures. ;)

NYBT 605 Park Avenue

On this scene I made it up to 6,956,780 Polygons and 6,932,867 Verties.

Here's a look of a older look of the building with a diffrent texture, the red brick. I still thinking on fixing up the brick texture in Photoshop because it's the same brick from 41 Park Avenue.

NYBT 605 park Avenue

I have made a lot of changes, I have a new brick type for this version of the building, I think it's perfect for the exquisite model of mine, the brick is different from the other bricks, I have worked on the brightness and other things to make it look fantasico in Photoshop. I have added the furniture for the terrace/balcoies to this model type. I still have to work on the night lights for this model and also I have to work on the version one of the building. When I upload this there should be two of each model type with a different color for the ones who want more of my apartments in there city. I can't wait to finished this beautiful building so I can make something new or work on something, that I have not released yet to STEX. :D

As you can see I have made the white bricks a little lighter and added a little blue on it, I hope you guys like the change on it. I still have to work on the UVW unwraps on the doors, that's why the textures are wacky. Once I finished most of the work on this model I can do the night lights and then export. :D

Look, I dled your "NYBT 41 Park Avenue" and I could not notice you made his mod the hardest way you could n that particular case ^^

You have 4 buildings with one lot each, in a total of 4 lots. Now, all of this lots are the same, only change the building. but the building it self it is always the same (only the colour is not). so you could have made a building family for them and have done only one lot for that family. less files you know  ;) and also easier for guys like me who edit pretty much everything that they dl  :D

gn_leugim- Your right, I had some files mixed up, so you can download the update if you want to. :D

41 Park Avenue Update 1.1 (http://"http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27913-nybt-41-park-avenue/")

http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27913-nybt-41-park-avenue/

I have updated the 41 Park Avenue lots, I thought I was using what T Wrecks modded but I did not, I end up getting them mixed up. I also added the NYBT Essentials Query to the files, I have to always use the NYBT Essentials for any NYBT Bats, and the reason, Gwail and I took the time to mod it together and it was some of the hardest modding I have done at the time to me. I will not let my work go to waste. :P

If you download the update all you have to do is make sure you install it like you did before if you use the default path then it will over right it automatically and download the dependencies that goes with it now. You can still use the old lots, but if not just delete them and carry on.

Worthington Apartments


Yeah, I say yeah it's time to geat the old Worthington Apartments a whole new face lift. It was not the best model sense It was my second upload but it was not as near ulgy as the very first model.

On the Worthington apartments a friend of mine named Francis90b, Francis90b and many others want me to update my older buildings, I will try to do that and make new bats remaking a recreation will take longer because I have bat it before and there's times I want to make brand new bats.

The new Worthington Apartmentswill be a new model and the lot size will be the same as before. Francis90b told me to to use the windows from a building in New York City. I can change the window frames and everything else on the building just make the opens of the fade like an real life building I choose from. The building window layout I have picked is a building on Park Avenue in Mannhattan. The building is named 888 park Avenue I have also copied some of the cornices for the Worthington Apartments, The very top cornice is from another building.

Link to 888 Park Avenue.: http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=it&ll=40.774842,-73.961224&spn=0.000686,0.001635&t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.774842,-73.961224&panoid=IArFdmu5fj7C20PMwPt5LA&cbp=12,289.3,,0,-9.85&z=20

The base of the building I choose to look like is a building right across the street from it called 876 Park Avenue, I'm not going to copy everythim from the base just a few things, then look for another building with some details I can add the the worthington Apartments. By mixing up the facade details from diferrent buildings, you can come up with a totally new building, never seen before. :D

Link to 876 Park Avenue.: http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=it&ll=40.774842,-73.961224&spn=0.000686,0.001635&t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.774842,-73.961224&panoid=IArFdmu5fj7C20PMwPt5LA&cbp=12,284.16,,0,-12.32&z=20

Worthington Apartments

Here's another update, I haven't done much to the building but fix a few thing here and there, so things got me stuck, but I got past it. Right not I'm slowly working on the top of the building, the penthouse, Right Now it's just a box, What I did is use the cut tool on the top part of the building, to let you guys know each floor of the building is one object except the first three floors and the top of the building before you get the the penthouse.

NYBT 200 East 15th Street/ 135 3rd Avenue

This is a new bat for you guys, I hope you like it, it's the same architecture style as 605 Park , 41 Park and Johnson Apartments. The buildings address is 200 East 15th Street, and the other address is also know as 135 3rd Avenue, I like 135 3rd Avenue address better because one the building is facing the 3 Avenue, but the entrance to the apartments is facing 15 Street. So I may Nam is NYBT 135 3rd Avenue. :D

The reason why the building was put on on hold is because I could not put the model in 3ds Max 2013 from 3ds Max 2012 with out having the polygons been missed up, now I have the problem fix after downloading the updates and playing around with the model. :D

Worthington Apartments

Sorry to double post. :P

Okay guys I was playing around with Worthington Apartment version one model and I wanted to see how the variation s will look like, well this is what I have. I think it's a great idea to make the cornice different for each model and I will make two version of the model flip in the opposite direction to help get right corner of the block. :D

What I need to do on the Worthington Apartments to consider them complete is make some stairs to lead to a basement in the back of the building, maybe some chairs and night lights, and the model can be done. :D

Okay the name of this building I named it was once 200 East 15th Street/ 135 3rd Avenue, but if I was to upload it it would be called 135 3rd Avenue. I decided to name the building becuase I have found the layout of the apartment on the same site that I have found 41, and 605 park avenue. :D

I have did a little building on the building still some more to go, the reason this building is not being built faster is because I'm trying to finish the Worthington Apartments, it's always been hard to bat more than one bat. :D

Beautiful as always Aaron! Love the little details on the roof terrace :thumbsup: Maybe you can still add some ventilation pipes or ductwork on the 'grey' part of the roof (sorry, can't find the name for it xD)? It looks a bit bare and normally there are at least a few of them on old buildings :)

btw, I also have a question.. What technique and textures are you using for the nightlighted windows? It looks really nice and somehow my own techniques aren't working out the way they should. Thanks in advance :)

What I use for the night windows is a over view of a city and I just made the texture yellow like the night windows in real life. then i use the umw map on the glass of the model, I usaully make the texture not tile. I make the numbers all the same for all the axis. :D

Here's the texture I use, you can always tweek it a bit. :D

Hi Aaron. Oxidized copper can be all sorts of colors. This picture I found would be too colorful. But any hue should do as long as it fits the somewhat dull or muted SimCity color palette

Don't mean to derail the thread by veering into a discussion on architecture, but it's interesting how Europe adopted the "doughnut" midrise block (i.e. a courtyard in the middle) while the US/NYC adopted the airshaft block instead. You can see the difference when you grow the two styles next to each other in the game, and even IRL the atmosphere in the two kinds of blocks is different. Personally I find it a shame that NYC encouraged airshafts rather than courtyards, because the airshafts, while necessary, still end up being rather useless, gloomy spaces on the ground whereas the Berlin Mietskaserne, Polish Kamienice, and Parisian Haussmann block courtyards are much more useful, airy, and welcoming.

Ya, i've noticed that too before (although I had no names for them ^^) but you have a point indeed ;)

Yes, that is an interesting fact.
I know that in Berlin the size of the courtyard was defined by the minimum size a fire truck (in those days, the 1870ies more or less) needed to enter, turn and leave the courtyard.
The size was about 23,5 m2. Not really something I'd call welcoming though...

Post by: mike3775 on October 15, 2012, 05:32:44 AM
Great job Aaron. 

As far as courtyards goes, some cities have both types, and I never cared for either type myself.  Usually the ones I lived in that had them, the center ones were all concrete with strips of grass in them and they felt confining, and when the sun was rising or setting, they were just as dark and foreboding as the other type.

I've always like complexes that have multiple buildings surrounding a wide open space myself
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: mike3775 on October 15, 2012, 04:37:26 PM
You are correct, I have seen courtyards that would look great on a busy street as just a place to sit.

I think the main reason they have gone out of style for the most part, is because that style of building has long fallen out of favor with major cities because many of them turned into crime dens and the fact that many think those types of buildings are "ghetto" or "section 8"

Here's the Worthington Apartments, this building is the ultimate replacement for the old Worthington Apartments. These apartments are Wall to Wall (W2W) buildings. This is apartment building set is Chicago and New York City style. The building uses the same floor plan as 888 Park Avenue, There are four bat models, Two of the four buildings are mirrored/ flipped in the opposite direction so you can fill the opposite side of the block with no worries. Each Worthington Apartments models has a different brick color on it's front size. Each model has two wealth types R$$ and R$$$. Worthington Apartments is a lovely and quiet stay in these apartments. The original bat was upload at STEX on April 2, 2010 at 12:28 AM, with 6726 views and 5180 downloads. Enjoy the upload!!

Please Download Maxis Nite or Dark nite, if you download both please install the nite verion you use for your cities at night. If you install both and using the default path settings that's appled in the installer the installed model file will replace the model file that's in the plugins folder.

Removing outdated Files: Please remove the old release of the Worthingtion Apartments, the files will not  harm the game or the new files, sense the old version of Worthington is deleted from STEX it's best to remove them in case there's no way to get the old version again. Once you have deleted them out of the plugins folder do not forget about bulldozing them in the game, Thank you.

NYBT 915 West End Avenue

Still more work to do, I may need to tweek the main brick textures a bit, there are the same textures from the Worthington Apartments. Right now I'm still working on the inputs of the ac units in the windows. I hope I can finish that fast but remember I will have to add the night lights and ac units three more times for the variation of the building. To much for a regular batter, but i'm not a regular. :D

Here's a look what the variations could look like, there are using the same texture as the Worthington Apartments, but I can change them a bit. I have notice that it getting to the time I will be using the same bricks over and over again, there is but so many things you can do with the same brick colors. :D

Here's the texture and the template for the 915 West End Avenue, I have been using uwv unwrapping for my roofs sense the Franklin Apartments. :)

If you place the template over the texture and filter it in a way the green lines only show you will see how I have the areas near the wall darken. Mybe you guys can come of with another variations for the roof, I do like the idea of a white looking roof. If you was to paste it over and over on the dark roof texture it can be a white look roof. :D

The door you see in the upper right hand corner is the roof access buildings doors and the basement doors. All the doors use that same texture, if you wanted to add another door you can place it next to the one I have in the image and make it the same size. :D

Oh, and by the way... I know you dont take requests but, given the fact that you are making NYC based buildings, it would be great if you could try some residentials based on Midtown, you know, the top stories look like stairs... like this:

NYBT Walesbridge

Okay guys, here's a look of what the Walesbridge variations may look like, on the corner building I have already did the night lights, I have did it some days ago, all I have to do is do the variations for the non-corner building and randomly move around the ac units and the night lights. I think this can be another building I can finish this year. There should be a total of eight buildings in this upload so you guys will have more building more is always better, I hate repetitiveness in City Journals. :D

I have started this building in early 2012 I think around April, I do not know why it took so long like the Bromley and Park Towers, why it's taking so long? For the Bromley and Park Towers it depends on another batter Franis and Vlasky. :)

Details like the fire escapes, roof junk, and what could be storefronts on the first floor make these medium density residences a complement to any city of size.  Good work, Aaron.

The rate you are going Aaron, you will be able to release a megapack of your buildings to make it easier to get all your buildings at one time.

Its because of people like you that continue to release great buildings that make playing the game possible without needing to use any Maxis residential at all.

Sorry for not posting sooner i end up not batting for two days and today I started back, something always going to stop me. Here's what i have on the new apartments building, the model is not hard just have to think of a way to clone things so you do not have to bat them again. The things that is in colored that not gray are cloned objects, if you think about it the modeling is about 50% finished. :D

Okay I have finished what I said in the post before, on 30 E. 81 Street. You can see the fence better and ac units, I have also started the variations for the building. One of the variations can not be used if i'm making four kinds, one have to say the brown one because that's the color of the real building.

I think I need to work on the building brick for the top left and right size on the image below, there are new bricks I have made today, the brick mortar is to bright and making the brick more sharper. If you look a the building your eyes go straight for the bricks, because to me there are very attractive, to attractive. :)

Before you release this or any other BATs, it would be nice if you could make static Landmarks for easy placement, because sometimes it gets pretty annoying when you have to wait.... then bulldoze... then wait another few minutes, then bulldoze, beacause i've got a fair amount of corner lots. If you could do this, your apartments will be popping up all over then place in my MD, Riverton. :satisfied:

I don't have a very big knowledge of BAT, but i'm pretty sure you can use the iLives reader or maybe just the BAT tool to it. It would be much appreciated and for me, it would turn it from great to amazing. ;)

You can't make residentials ploppable. But I think you mean landmarks without function when you say static, right? It's very easy to do with PIM-X, takes a minute or two. I'm sure there's a couple of tutorials or the like on the boards.

Yes, static as in not residential. Landmark style.



PS. I know that you can't make Residential ploppable, it has been disputed and tried for many years, (since 2006?) but no result. Without the extra cheats I mean. I know that.

Thanks guys for your help. A big thumbs up for all of you. :thumbsup: And I read your comment Girafe. So don't feel like I missed ya. ;)

Post by: noahclem on January 11, 2013, 01:30:07 PM
@sunv123 -- Are you aware that it is possible to plop residentials using the extra cheats, as long as you plop them over an already developed area? Probably half of my Aaron Graham bats are plopped in that manner. Having static ploppable plops can sound like a nice thing that makes life easier but I think it really causes as much harm as help. The landmark menu tends to be clogged enough as it is.
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: gn_leugim on January 12, 2013, 05:36:26 AM
it doesn't make much sense these days to make static landmarks when we can plop virtually  anything with the extra cheats. saves space ;)
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: Swordmaster on January 12, 2013, 06:40:15 AM
Anyone remember DAMN? Making landmarks, if you don't care about capacity, is actually better than the very cumbersome cheats menu. Try to find something in there when you have thousands of custom lots. But that's my opinion. I still stick to the "don't plop R buildings" rule.

I also have to fix a model flaw, there is an floating ac unit on the back of one of the 41 Park Avenues. :D

You guys should know where the 41 Park Avenue folder is right? Plugins\NYBT\Aaron Graham\NYBT 41 Park Avenue.

Great work on this, love the detail and the little terrace. A great touch to the building. ;D Still, my eyes would like it better if the terraces could have a hardwood flooring, but brick is just as good. (and more common in NYC)

These make me want to go from Modern-Modern, to more like NYC style. :satisfied: I'll defiantly use BuildingPlop. ;)

And hey, I use Chase!

BTW, will there be different color variations? Dark red/mahogany brick would look nice on this BAT.

gn_leugim- Thank you, I am still working on the roof. :D

In the mean time this is a look of what the bricks for the variations could looks like. Vlasky wants me to work on the brown bricks so I will. I'm am planning to make two roof type for the buildings.

notice the only change is the bricks to show off what the variations could be, i have rendered this image just after, the last image post.

I have to agree, excellent work.
I wonder if you can be convinced into making some ground scrapers in this style.  Buildings that are about 6,7,8 tiles wide by 3,4 tiles deep and about the same height as the majority of your models....about 15 storeys tall.  We have a lot of skyscrapers but not very many ground scrapers. 
Anyways, just a thought.

Although there is no mixed zoning in SC4, it looks like the fat building would have it if there was.  It appears as though there's a bank on the first floor.  Of course, this building is residential overall, right?  The roof texture on the big building is quite a sight.  Good work!

Okay, I have added more stuff to the skinny building, you can see it in the render. What's missing is some pipes on the roof and I think that it for this version of the building. :)

Here's an update on the white version of the building, thank you Jack_wilds for the names. On this version the only store I have named was Kelly's Country Soul Food. Here's the list of stores on this model aka the white building. :D

Angel's Christian Bookstore

Sims Dentalworks

Tom's Corner Barber Plus

All Feet shoe store

Al's All Appliances

Kelly's Country Soul Food

I have the terraces in place and have added the doors for the terrace entrance. I have changed size of the terrace is a little different from the floor plan, I did this because I want the windows to be seen that's near the terrace. I'm going to added a little more junk on the terrace so it's still needs work, another thing the store glass is not final, it's just a place holder till I UVW Unwrap them. :D

In the render below you can see four buildings with different texture of bricks and the stores are different on each model. The fourth model has a back render for you to see if I need to change anything, so enjoy guys. :D


The stores on the first floors of each building are....

Model 1: Paddy Maguire's Aie House

Model 2: Urban Hatz

Model 3: Home Of Hamburgers

Model 4: Pool Table Alley

NYBT 201 E. 19th Street Variation 4

Okay this is an old update, I have posted on Simtropolis but not here. I have worked on the other version of the building, On the model I will need to work on the lights on the balconies, I want to make some of the light on them a little darker that others, I also will have to work on the store glass, it's the same one for version 3. another thing I will need to work on is the terraces chairs and bushes,  I will need to move them round to look different from each version. I still will have to work on the night lights for the other buildings that's variation 1, 2  and 3. I have a lot to do plus It's time to plan for a new building.

Beautiful pics  &apls &apls

A couple thoughts though--first, the little green awning on the tall building in the first pic seems to extend pretty far out into the road. It works there because the network is street but I think it would be too long for anything else besides OWR1. Second, are we not going to get the famous Aaron Graham slope tolerance and custom foundations?  :-[

Of course these are just small things and I want the overall message I'm sending to be how awesome all your work here truly is  &dance

noahclem- Thank you, the building awning that is out to far is not my building, you can always tell from my bricks. That's Darknono's building, I was not happy with the awnings myself. I would love to get back to making slope friendly buildings, but for building like this they can only take a little slope and the variations I mod is random so I will have to make one foundation. What do you think?

Here's a tiny update on the building, I took a few days off the batting, yeah a batter needs to rest too. In the image you can see the basement area of the building, I have added two doors, I will have to make a way to get to the basement are from outside, then I will have to make furniture for the terraces, damn I hate making furniture. :(

Guess what guys 3ds Max Design 2014 is out as some of the other Autodesk software is out, like Maya 2014 ect, but to let you guess know 3ds Max 14 is not out yet, I wonder why. I have posted this on before on ST but no one loves 3ds Max. :P

Let's Hope there's no problem using BAT 4 Max on it. :)

Edit: Bat 4 does work on 3ds Max 14 Design, but for the exporting I'm still testing it.

From the looks of it 3ds Max 2014 Design is not ready for BAT 4 Max. 3ds Max has some render quality problems and exporting issues.

The only thing that is not textured is the roof, doors, and some small objects on the building. I have made some changes do to the mistake I have made when I was looking on Bing Maps. :)
 
The building is going to be a 1x2, I also wanted to make it a 1x3, but it looks like I can't. I have plans to make four to eight models of this building. :)

Another update on my building I have the roof textures and the ac units in the building, but I still fail to make the swag moulding. I will have to work on the night lights and the variations next.

I'm having the same problem with my fan on my laptop. When the laptop goes into sleep mode and I take it off the sleep mode the fan does not work, the only way right now I know I can get it to work is to use the vacuum cleaner pipe. I have open my laptop to clean the fan and still no hope. I will have to go back and open it up again, one of my usb ports is not working, I think I forgot to attach the wire back. Let's hope I can fix that part. :)

It still sad NYBT did not have it's own Forum here. :(

Here's the first Half of the variations of the building. I hope you like them, of course there different from the variation test. :P

The change I have made is the height of the roof pipes, I have added pipes on the walls so the water does not pool on the roof, but any way it's not possible it does not rain in Sim City 4, but if it does the water could escape where the fire escape open is on back of the building. Another change is the bricks on the different version of the building.

Robin and Aaron, I think it may be the NAM Retexture and Cosmetic Mod-North American Version 1 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2589) by Superhands.  It makes certain Street and Road intersections look more gradual and less sharp (analogous to the difference between standard curves [also updated by the mod] and NAM wide curves), and it turns ortho Street and Road dead-ends into cul-de-sacs.  It also puts those dividers on Street intersections in medium and high density residential and commercial zones.

Yes, and with NAM v31 this became part of the standard install.  You can remove the folder called "Standard Retexture and Cosmetic Mod" located in Plugins\Z_NAM\Road Textures to get rid of the dividers, but you'll also lose the smooth curves and wider intersections.

NYBT Dover House

Okay back to one of the models I have started last month, this building is getting close to being finished. Things I will need to work on is the add more objects to the terraces, add lamps to the terraces, add the post for the rails on the upper floors, texturing the ground floor stairs and the little fence that's around the plants. :D

Okay guys here it go again, a new building, this one is located in the Bronx baby. I have to keep the production going. :D

In the large image you can see that I have bevel to top of the building to form the parapet and I have cut line on the roof to make the roof access buildings, so next is to extrude between -1.0m to 1.5 m. after that I will need to work on the ground floor, the basement part of the building, and work on the facade designs and the best part about it, it not to intense. :)

Dover House

This should be the last render for the day of all the versions of the Dover House. Next render should be the night renders of the Dover House, all I have to do is change the night lights in the windows and I will be exporting.

I want to know who want to test the building before the release of the building, you will have to test it in the game to see if it will grow.

How you guys think of the variation test for the building, the only thing I have change is the main brick that is on the front of the building and the fire escapes color and textures.

You can look at many  videos on poly modeling and it can help you a lot.

Back to the Window question. My window mullions can be a small as 0.02m to 0.1m depending on the look of the windows on real life.

noahclem & Swordmaster- Thank you, I have thought about doing diagonals for a long time, but working with diagonals is hard for me, I will have to figure something out if I'm to make them. It's more that just rotating the building, it will need to be scale sense it is a wall to wall building.

gn_leugim- That's the thing, I do all sorts of stuff on my free time, it does not take long to bat unless your willing to put so much details to the building that can't be seen in the renders.  When making this building I was not batting everyday, just a few hours at a time, more like to 4 to 5 hours at a time. :)

You know, there has always been one thing that I think about when I see W2Ws, not just with your models but everyones.....when making W2W, why don't some modelers every once in a while make the model a few meters narrower to make alleyways.
Just a thought....

I guess i have almost every building from you and NYBT (uhmm,maybe one or two are missing but that`s okay :D).I just had to google the real life version of the Tower 67 because i wondered what those protruting thingies at the Ground Floor are.Silly me,i could have thought that those are some baywindows for the groundlevel shops.
I also love the way  25 E. 193 Street comes out.I really like those New York styled old tenement/apartment-buildings and i can`t have enough of them.

Hmmm, the reflection in the silver metal(?) cross-pieces is too strong, in my opinion.  Also, I'm not sure about the angle of the buildings/roofs in the reflection.  Something about it feels disorienting.
Otherwise, it's looking really, really good.  (For example, the color and reflectivity of the glass).

Also, I'm liking the little brownstone so far.  :thumbsup:  It looks like it could be about 1850's or 1860's vintage, which is the era I've been stuck in for a while in my own projects.  So I'm quite excited about this one &dance

Let's go a bit more into detail....

The roof texture is beautiful and I like the run down greyish texture of the walls. All the other details, like the windows that are all just a tiny bit different in darkness, make the model come alive. Just wow.

NYBT Tower 67 Apartments

Here's an update on Tower 67 Apartments, I have finally added the texture to the building, still need some modelingg work to be finished. I think next i'm going to get the roof textures and then work on the curtains some more, thework on the curtains is not finished on about 40 percent of the building.

Once I have finished that I think I can work on the details on the shops and then work on the plaza behind the building. One the plaza I need to make benches, trees, ect. I will need to add a drive way for the entance of the apartment and work on the drive wya that leads below the ground.

The tall commercial skyscrapers get a good amount of attention, but it's nice to see residential highrises that provide the housing those workers need.  Underground driveways make a lot of sense whenever big building are involved because there should be potential spots for parking lots in case the area surrounding the highrise lacks parking, so that is a good call.

NYBT 65 E. 193 Street is also looking good.  Little details such as window AC units and fire escapes are just some of the things that give your buildings a distinctive flair.

Nice job, Aaron!  :thumbsup:

NYBT  25 East 193 Street


Here is a look at the variation for the 25 East 193 Street. The first version is the orignal building, version two is The white looking building, verion three is the red brick one, and the tan is the fourth version. For white looking on and the tan, and red one, I want to make the building fire escapes black. I also want to make the window frames black too. For course I will be changing the roof texture for the other version of the buildings. I have did the night lights for the first varitaion and I will post the render later. :D

It's a way to battle against the large amount of commercial buildings upload for Sim City 4. In real life there supposed to be more residential buildings than any of the commercial and Industrial building combined.

Thank you for this one.

Edit:Whoops,didn`t see the Jerome Avenue "Twins",my mobile phone didn`t load the pictures.
They look really great already.I just had to visit them via Google Maps and Google Streetview and realized that the Twins seem to be repainted from that dirty beige to a more white color.Will you also make several version of them and maybe with different shops on the groundlevel?
Also,i noticed that the left half has its adress written on the roof.Is there any reason for it or did just someone painted the adress just for fun?

Hope you had a nice party, some cake and presents.

For the building:It`s coming along great.Good to see how it looks when the twin is removed.So there`s is where the door is hiding.Must be a very shy door $%Grinno$%
With just one of the two halfs standing,the Building doesn`t look too bad either.Maybe a splitted version so we can pretend that one evil and mean Architect bought one half,added it to the neighboring already empty lots,destroy the half building and build another soulless glass and steel monstrosity with "poor doors" next to the lonely half building.... :-\

Another stunning project seems to run to the finish line.As many others,i love the textures you used.
Also the 3 D Model looks great.On well made buildings like yours and of course many others it`s always a shame Simcity isn`t 3D.I mean not many details get lost with the angled view,but some disappear (like that Door for example).
Besides that,i also love the details at the upper facade with the decorative elements and those little rings.
Too bad they seem to disappear in the rendering for the angeled view.
However,it will turn out great.

Wow,the variations look great.. &aplsLove the color choices you used on the building/s.
Say,are you also planning on variations for the shopfronts?I mean if several color variations of this building grows next to each other,wouldn`t it look weird if every building has exactly the same shop awnings and grafitti sprayed shutters?
I guess it would be to late to change that,otherwise you could make different family prop shopfronts that change every time one building grows.

But that`are just a few stupid ideas made by me...
.Your buildings look great the way they are and you are doing a great job on these.

Love those little commercial spaces attached to the base  (including a Mc D...dang,no i`m getting hungry!)

915 West End Avenue

The is an render of my old building NYBT 915 West End Avenue, I wanted to update it for a long time. I wanted to add a little bit of details to the apartment, I want to make a better model of the parapet caps and make the pipes for the water tower, and also work on the bricks to the back of the building.

Do you like the bricks on version 1 or 2?

The building is on STEX so you can check it out.

Here's a small of date to my Bronx apartment, it's al most finished, ust have to work on the two signs and may be a little more details of the building and I can add the variations, and then to another or a new building for STEX. :D

concerning 915 West End Avenue...

tend to prefer #1 due to how it looks in corners and around the windows... but option two   ???, is slightly better in the fields of building... its your call though  :-\...

2639 & 2641 Jerome Avenue

the details are making it come alive more...  :thumbsup:

I like the second version of the 915 West End Avenue better, imho the pale brickwork looks more realistic.

But away form that detail - I love bot new buildings. Time for SC4 again...  $%Grinno$%
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: metarvo on September 29, 2014, 04:27:12 PM
I'm going to vote for #1, because the darker bricks appear to be more toned down, although I realize this could simply be an optical illusion because the lighter bricks are darker.  #2 seems kind of jarring IMHO due to the increased contrast.

In any case, West End is sure to be a nice building.  The corner windows appear to add even more character.
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: deora on October 04, 2014, 03:47:54 AM
The funny thing is that on my computer screen,both brick sides look the same,but on my smartfone,number 1 looks much darker,almost brown.They both look great,but i`m also voting for number one,i mean it`s a side wall where they didn`t use the same fancy bright bricks like on visible parts of a building.
With every picture i love the Jerome Avenue Twins more and more.The details and the textures are breathtaking. &apls

I love the first brick type better the darken bricks are not to strong. More people have choose the first brick type, there is a little different in the bricks. If you have Photoshop you could layer the building on type of each other and flick the eye button to see the difference.

Wow,looks great.Of course as always i had to do a little research and i found out that the Montana Apartments twin towered design was inspired by the Majestic,a classic Art Deco designed Building with a similar design near Central Park West.
I have to admit,the modern building somehow has a little Art Deco Vibe with the steps in the overall design and the towers which are narrower than the base.

Also your newest Grand Concours Building looks very promising.The original building looks pretty neat with that combination of an overall simple and plain design and the grand arched doorway as a constrasting centerpiece.

I figured they were the same or similar to the other fire escapes, and they look great. I'm definitely not saying they ought to be changed in any way.  I'm just befuddled and bedazzled by how good they look relative to how thin the rails are.  Whenever I make anything that thin, it seems like it either doesn't show up in the render at all, or it is a faint blur.  Are you using some kind of "wireframe" material or something?  They look perfect in your latest rendering, by the way :thumbsup:

Okay I have the textures on the building, I just need to ass texture on one small object, but it's hard to see it so do not worry about it. I hope you guys like the roof texture, my favorite one right now is all of them. The white version of this building will need a roof color like this so it will not be so bright, the brown fire escape are looking great on the red and white variation models. I can't wait to see the comments. :D

Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: dwelln8hss32 on January 12, 2015, 11:21:49 AM
I actually quite like the last roof texture. The contrast provides a realistic portrayal of weathering, ie tar layers that have peeled away exposing sun-beaten roofing materials. IMO the contrast may look striking in comparison with the faded orange-ish brick siding, which could use a little more weathering texture, possibly. Other than that, I think all of these look really, really good!  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: romualdillo on January 12, 2015, 12:41:20 PM
I like the last roof texture, too. Some asphalt covers get this colours due chemical reactions and sun. They degrade to a sort of white salt. Great job Aaron!!!!  :thumbsup:

These buildings are to die for.I mean your buildings are already crowding my NY Region but it never hurts to have some variation.
Some matching commercial buildings would be nice some day because the sims in large areas filled with your residentials are already starting to get jobless :D :crytissue: :-\

Some of my favorite details on the Barton Paul Buildings are the green shrubs next to the entrance and the "frames" around the main windows.
Also the roof textures are amazing.There seems to be everything from brand new (the dark black roof) to slightly weared,sunbleached and leaky roof (like in on the 4th building) I wonder how something like this happens.It almost looks like someone spilled a truck load of white paint on the roof and didn`t clean it. :P
I`m just wondering what are you reffering to as a "parapet".
I`m not much into architecture terms.In my language a parapet might be a solid "wall" on balconys that avoid accidents by falling from it...i think (besides that,parapet is a very old word that almost no one uses here anymore.We more use something like balustrade or guard rail/hand rail.....
Title: Re: Aaron Graham's BATs
Post by: Aaron Graham on January 22, 2015, 12:15:24 PM
Bipin- Thank you!!! :D

deora- You can look up the word parapet and look at some pictures. A parapet is a wall, balusters are railings with gaps like a fire escape.

Which roof you like better before I export, dwelln8hss32 & Girafe think I should change the look of the roof. :) Do you guys like this roof better now?

I have to say I like the previous version better, it strikes me as more "natural" and weathered in comparison with the newer version, which appears to have less contrast. Maybe compare them side by side in game? It's a very subtle difference, in the end. They are all looking great!  :thumbsup:

Yup, NYBT Barton Paul now looks 100 percent finished to me.
The modified roof texture looks better (at least i think...) and now the rof doesn`t look like the remains of the last Snow Storm.

Mount Eden Parkway looks very promising.We always need more rowhouses (even if they are detatched) and diversity.
I wonder if it would be possible to add two more lots to the shown "right corner" and the "middle piece (with the lower backyard going completely through from left to right...)"
How about a mirrored version of the "right piece" and maybe a ramp end piece where you can reach the deeper backyard via a sloped back street...
Just some ideas.
Are you also trying to incorporate the white "birdcage" balcony from one of the neighbors? ()what()

NYBT 243 Mount Eden Parkway (A SimCoug Request)

Here's an update on the row detached house, I still have more to do on the house but not a lot and then I can add textures . Most of you should know is that there will be three houses on the 2x2 lot. If I plan to make a 2x3 lot the lot will have five detached houses. I have been studying the lot set back rules and we all should know that wall to wall building should be 1.6 meters from the edge of the lot for the walls to line of with other batter buildings, this all ways made sense to use this because the early batters have used the practice/ rule to keep some sort of order, but for row houses detached and brownstone houses the rules are a little different. The rules for the row houses detached and brownstone house are different because the houses has stairs in front of them. If they only used the 1.6 meter setback rule the stairs that protrude from the building would end up on the sidewalk. It will make sense to make buildings like row detached houses and brownstones 1.6 meter plus another 1.6 meters from the edge of the lot, this will equal to 3.2 meters from edge of the lot, this also make it where you can have a protruding stoops and a small garden next to the stoops. It is possible to go farther back but it depends on the real life building, so what I plan to do is to make the set back for this building 3.2 meters from the edge of the lot. I am thinking about making mirror models on the row houses. Thinking in the future for the project is mind blowing. I may have to make up to 20 row houses. :O

This looks like it is shaping up to be a fine building.  The windows and the intricate details on the walls add a nice flavor.  If I know you, each row house on the lot will likely end up different from each other one (unless SimCoug wants them all to look exactly the same).  Good work!

Did you hear my high pitched squeeing noise of joy?
The details are mind boggleing,you even made those little rhombus shaped button thingies on the cornice (not sure if this can be called a cornice,but you know what i mean)
The idea about making 2x2, 2x3 and 3x2 lots sounds great.In this particular area,these houses don`t seem to be very common but i guess in other New York areas these might fill whole street blocks.
metarvo:Well,i guess they were once all looking the same but changed after several decades (hehe,like houses constructed in a factory on an assembly belt and then stacked up in a large warehouse....okay we need 20 of those...aand 15 from this model... :-\)

Aaron You`re right,that balcony thing looks weird,that pour grund level facade,destroyed and replaced by generic brick and two stupid windows...

Sometimes you only create one detail and then you can multiply them easily, but you still have to create the first one.

Very nicely going with the Peter Stuyvesant bldg, which was btw the first cigarettes I smoked in the sixties when I still lived in Germany. I cant wait to see it textured.
The Jerome Avenue set, I have been using in my cities now, they look great ingame.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful models of yours.

In gmax I do taht quise some times, but here, I guess he has only one poly, so each detail must have been done individually, I am wrong??  :-\

Unconstantean- Thank you!!! :D

gn_leugim- Thank you, It can take minutes to an hour on some details, depending on the size and detail, number of times you can do the best you can but make it look good.

mrbisonm- That's right. :)

kelis- Thank you!!! :D

gn_leugim- My windows are sometimes one object or multiple objects, but it have to be more than one polygon to be a detailed object. If there's a bunch of the samething, it would make sense and save time to clone them, and if they are different in some places you can clone the object and modify the things you need and do not need on the object.

noahclem- Thank you!!! :D
 
NYBT Beekman Hotel Tower
 
I have did a little work on the Beekman today the roof still need some work, the ac units below the windows need texturing, and I need to work on a few things on the ground floors. I hope you guys like what you see. :D

I think your building always great. Fantastic are the details.

Did you perhaps an image of a city with your entire buildings?

Very nice  &apls

I especially like the glass on this building, and that little curved detail in the roof line above the entrance. It looks really nice with the texturing applied  :thumbsup:

Agree with Reddon, the facade detail is splendid.

And the window frames are another nice detail. Will they be at all windows?

Why is there only gray around some windows and not all ?

Would love to see that crone (the concrete at the top) all around the building and not just the two walls.





Your work and the Arimus 3D youtubes (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSLLdTBwLMfTKWS56tOiQpw) (and others youtubes) has moved my modeling some way.

Started to rework some old bats that has collected a lot of duct. Realized, how far my modeling has gone.

The texturing is looking great so far as usual.  I'm guessing the other windows on the second floor will have a slightly different surrounding trim?  (The ones you made look great).

Thank you guys, I don't mean to be not as active. :(

NYBT 2295 Grand Concourse

I have done a little work on the building I still need to fix the windows on the back of the building, work on the details on the facade, and texture the damn thing, and it will be finished and ready for variations. I want to get back to making large apartment building, I need to work on building on Park Avenue, 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue 3ed avenue, 5th Avenue, Cental Park West, Broadway, and West End Avenue. :)
