KMB Bus Stop 1.0

um.....

Not the best but its ok. Textures could use a little work. 3/5 stars.

1. If this upload contains a BAT model you made, it should be placed in the STEX category "BATs", not "Lots".
2. Does the roof really face away from the street? One should think that the roof extends over the sidewalk. I might be wrong, though.
3. Shouldn't the benches be under the roof?
4. As RedScope53 said, textures need more work. To be honest, the roof looks like a simple untextured slab to me.

It's Ok, except for the roof.

T Wrecks,

1. I'll make sure that nxt time
2. For yr information some of these bus stops does position itself like the one here (at least the one near my apartment does)
3. As a matter of fact Hong Kong people stand to wait for buses. Those benches are originally used to fill the space behind the roof but it seems inappropriate to me now.
4. This type of bus stop does not really have texture on the top of the roof (only silver), but I agree that it looks dull. Next update I will try to remake another style of bus stop that have pattern on the top, let's hope it's better then now

Ah, so the shelters do have this orientation? That's interesting to know, thank you for the info.

Where I live, people also stand most of the time, but normally there are at least two or three seats under the shelter. That's why I asked. I wondered whether you may have wanted to add the props [i]under [/i]the shelter, but faced problems with the LOD.

So you used the benches to fill the space, eh? Yes, that's a problem with the way bus shelters are placed in game: The surface of a 1x1 lot is way too large for them, and you need something to fill it - but what? I could imagine a kiosk or something, but this would lead to an external dependency... and many, many kiosks in town.

Textures are really hard to get right, especially (A) with gmax. (B) on horizontal surfaces (because they get bleached out a lot), and (C) if you use "colours" like black, white, or silver.

Anyway, you can only get better, so I hope we'll see more from you. Thanks for sharing your stuff with us!
