Industry Essentials 1.0

Woooow, great release, Bipin!

Absolutely awesome work Bipin, looking forward to using these :)

Yeeeeeah!!!! Time to get my industrial wasteland started!! Woo-hoo!!!
 
Cheers Bipin, these look amazing.

It's. Finally. HERE. Thaaaaaaaaaank youuuuuuuuuu BIPIN, been waiting for this to be release :D

nice- too bad for all the dependencies- oh well- normally when there's something with many dependencies I don't download- but this time I'll make an exception.

ooh, Christmas Present! Thanks; glad to see this here finally! looking forward to using it

oooh! As an industrial stuff lover, I REALLY love it!

 

Although, I got two issues I found. One, I couldn't find electrical substation you put in, must be missing. And two, icons for smokestacks, cooling tower and old water tower are missing. I even put them in "BATs by Bipin" folder since I'm not sure if I should put folders in there or just put them in plugin in general.

 

But still, great job, I love it!

It's finally here, the pack SimCity has been waiting for! :D

 

Great job.

Very detail rusty looks on all items. Perfect job ! I am waiting to get back home and install all these.

I found the substation- look in the power menu

Hoho thank you very much Mr. Bipin :)

All your stuff realised here are beautiful and high quality. Thanks for the sharing :yes: . Already in my plugins folder, and I'll plop several right now in my cities :thumb:

 

5/5 :D

Just some feedback :)

 

Models look great and the cooling tower smoke and nightlights are a highlight. Seem to be some icon issues though, I also can't seem to find the water utility?

I also don't seem to be able to place MMP's around the cooling tower :(

I find it odd that icons are missing. I still have all of them working on my end, which makes it especially difficult to troubleshoot. If you are having these issues, please state specifically which lots do not have icons. I would also appreciate it if you could tell me the lot descriptions on those "broken" lots.

 

Ion_Cannon, that is due to the size of the cooling tower's LODs. In the render, I had no way to reduce the size of them as they needed to occupy the space of some Matte/ShadowReflection Material used for masking the underground section. One way to fix this problem would be to reduce the size of the prop's boundaries. Visually, this would manifest itself as making the blue box containing the prop in Lot Editor a smaller size. If anyone knows how to do this or what the technique would even be called, let me know. I'm sure it exists, as I have seen large props with significantly smaller footprints before.

To reduce the box boundaries for the purpose of lot editing/MMPing, edit the OccupantSize property of the building/prop exemplar (desc file) with reader... Put rep values at 1 for tiny box

Where in the power menu is it located? I looked for it, not found.

The icons I am missing are medium smokestack, large smokestack and cooling tower. That's all I know. And I think substation is missing since I couldn't find it in power menu.

Interesting.  Since I am not using a great deal of industrial now, I think I'll pass this for now.  I will keep note of it for the next reincarnation of SC4 in my machine.  I'm getting pretty jaded, so it may happen fairly soon.  5/5

Excellent work, thanks very much for sharing.

I really like the rustic textures throughout -- and finally a proper cooling tower!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I appreciate it. I also appreciate the feedback regarding missing lot icons, that'll make things much easier to fix.

I can guarantee you that you are not missing the substation, seeing as other downloads have found it. Your download is the same as theirs, so perhaps you simply skipped it over in the menu or somehow deleted the file. The substation looks like this: 

 

 

Assuming the custom icon is still there, which it should be, you will see an image of the lot's top right corner. Just keep looking, or perhaps re-download if the issue persists.

Finally it's out! It's better than I expected, Derek! Thank you! :D

Wow amazing pack, I feel spoiled!

Actually, what funny is that I actually found it! I'm such a derp. Thanks!

ALL of Bipin's work should be titled "essentials."  :)  Great stuff - anyone who strives to add more variety to our industrial sectors is top notch in my book...

Thanks for sharing your work Bipin - big fan of it here.

well done like it lots... 5/5.. it is a promising project...

also in a pic of a large scene, the viaduct over passes and cracked up road textures, where did you get 'em?  can they be had?
