peterycristi's Bats

[peterycristi]

Hi folks,

I just started bating these days, so please don't be cruel with me even if my Bat is not perfect. I started to make a building that was located in central america. More I will not tell at this moment . Just tell me your comments.

Off to a good start The textures repeat a little too much, so you may want to go into a little more work on them. Also I'd give the pillars difference textures from each other. Right now with the same texture it looks a little too repeating. Either way, I'd really like to see how this one turns out.

Peterycristi , man if I could make anything that looked half as good as that on my first , or 100th try , I would be happy! I like how this model has started... keep on it!

This is a very good beggining, I f I could offer some advice leave the textures as they were downloaded and change the textures by using the omni lighting feature. I have spent hours tweaking this module, some good results and some bad. Your building already looks better than alot who claim to be experts, keep up the good work

Very good start!

Great start, I know the name of that building but i wont tell anyone 

[Dark_horse_spirit]

After another look at this building front, if you textured the windows frames by using the smoothing feature it might bring out the lighting more during rendering process.

Wow peterycristi-san! Wow! The pillars are wonderful, excellent window frames, awesome balconies and such and such! I cannot wait to seeing more BATs from you in the future!

[peterycristi]

Hi folks,

thanks for all the very nice comments. I just worked a little bit more on the model and it's getting formed more and more. I'm just ready to start with the mainentrance (texture optimation will follow).

another puzzlepiece for you: the building stood in one of the biggest cities of the world. It's destruction is a symbol of the hardest earthquake which hit the city until now. The quake cost the live of around 45.000 people.

Wow, a very nice start, peterycristi! I knew that building, but it took me a bit until I found out its name; it's the Hotel Regis (Mexico City), isn't it?

[peterycristi]

HOTEL REGIS - MEXICO D.F.

@praiodan:  you are right, of course it's the Regis. It fall down in the earthquake of 1985 that was around 8,6 on the scale. The quake destroyed some buildings in the hostoric center of mexico-city (like the Regis) and a lot of big apartment houses which were not built after the earthquake restrictions. The mexican government spoke of around 4.000 victims but today we are speaking of a number between 40.000 and 45.000 people that were killed on this day.

Were once stood the Regis is today a greened place called "plaza de la solidaridad" with a memorial for the victims of 1985.

So I decided to give a come back to that legendary hotel, that once was the first adress of DF.

here my update for today:

for the side of the patio, i will need to use my fantasy, cause i didn't find pictures of it . If anyone has some, please send me.

A picture of the backside... from a building that doesn't exits anymore... maybe almost impossible to find... 

It was a hotel building, maybe at back side there was a pool area or something, make another facade at backside (similar or equal as like front facade)  just an idea 

Its great to see you working on Mexican Buildings 

Oh btw, heres a colo picture of the building i found browsing over internet...

[peterycristi]

@heblem: pst pst... oye! Viva chilangolandia! 

[tcx]

Now I can say is great you're doing Hotel Regis, it's sad that a lot of people died that day in 1985, and it's nice to see this building coming to life again. 

[sithlrd98]

That is looking great!

Splendid work! Indeed, it is great to see someone is making mexican BATS 

I just wish you could make the original mansard roof version as well

[peterycristi]

Hi folks,

Here the update of the Regis for today. I was just playing around with the textures...

@debussyman: thanks for your comments! I'm really a big fan of your bat's! Concerning the mansard roof i will see, if i can do it later, but like it's my first bat, i think it's just too difficult now . But you are right, it would look a lot better with the original roof.

@un1: the roof texture isn't the final one . There will be a roof terrace...

Viva México cabrones! 

[un1]

Nice work!  Although, I don't like the roof texture that much, it looks like the roof is a little bumpy, but oh well.

Can't wait to see more.
