Under Bridge Scenery

[buddybud 63]

Hi there, im new here....so i hope i posted this in the right thread...

Anyways i was hoping all you knowledgable sim addicts could point me to any overhanging lots that can be place next to bridges and overlap...giving the impression of life underbriges....below are some examples using pegasus sets and marrast embankment set.....it would be nice to see something dedicated to this....if i can figure out the editors maybe ill do it...

 

if there are others please point them out to me ...thanx

made it yourself???
i like it.

[buddybud 63]

its my city but no...not my tile sets....ive found under bride road and water and grass but nothing more complicated than that.

[MasterPlanMan 1]

That's all Ive found as well. Looks like we think alike. It would be nice if someone created some more lots just for this purpose.

I like what you have done with the industrial kits ~ thanks for the ideas. Here is what I did with PEG's rtk3 kit.

Wow, I never though of using PEG's sets like that, I kinda feel stupid now for not trying that out myself.  I really don't know of any other lots that are over hanging like that but I bet if you look it on the STEX you will find it.

excellent use of pegs things

[buddybud 63]

well i tried to play with the lot editor and had my first success.. I live in Ottawa which has a canal running through it and quite a few bridges over it and was inspired.....i took an oppie thin canal piece and extended the prop to overhang...and it worked hurray....https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//New%20City-Mar.%201,%2000961150998%20copy.jpg align=baseline>

 

I will continue to play with LE and see if i can do some park stuff and alley stuff for under bridges....thanx for the responses so far

@ MasterPlanMan: Wow, that city is awesome. I really like the placement of the Golden Gate Brg.

 

Is this part of your CJ? If that's the case, I'm sorry that I've yet to look at it.

 

But yeah, I think everyone else answered the question perfectly.

So, no more from me on this topic.

jmusshorn ~ Thanks I am glad you like it! Your assumption is correct. The shot was taken a few days ago for my 1st CJ - Glen Harbor.

Sorry for going of topic but I like the way you made your highways.

[SIMMANIA 4]

Buddybud: Nice work. Can you think you can do the same thing but for a residential low-rise and mid-rise area. I think that would be a great innovation to have the possibilit

[____----____ 37]

you've got some wonderful eye candy posted here ever think of starting a cj?

[jacqulina 162]

excellent eye candy

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

wow i never had that idea myself, i will try to do some stuff like that using different coastal and park lots.

[Nik-nik 3]

Hi Buddybud,

I read all the replies, but I cannot decipher what is used to make the industrial eye candy under the bridge in you original first two pictures.

 

Can any one point me in the right direction? It is not the Marrast Embankment set that is mentioned also in this page.

 

Maybe off topic but I like the way you have made a out-of use railroad track in the following image:

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//industry%20GLR.JPG align=baseline>

 

Did you use GLR? I have no experience in GLR so I cannot differentiate one from normal rail road.

[buddybud 63]

the marrast embankment piece is well hidden...but there and the peg piece is called the pegcdk transitionlot and is also found in the other photo

heres a new texture i added lol swirly warning thingys

...and thanx for the comment on the rail...been working on that heres a shot...with of course under bridge abandoned rail line

and a bit of underbridge with pegpond pieces

anyways i will return when i actually have something to offer...been learning bat and need to learn more....oh gosh help me..

 

[buddybud 63]

no...not GLR...been thinking along those lines though...punny...now its purly a one by one lot with overhanging rail props....i made the strait ones but found the curved one from a japaneese site....thats where i got the idea...heres a screeny...the nice thing about overhanging props is you can place them over other stuff...like the farm roads and alley ways....the bad thing is they are not slope conforming...so work well only on perfectly flat land

Looking good buddybud!!!

This is a cool thread so far!

 

Here are some subtle shots of what I did with the Marrast embankments under and around some of my rail lines:

[buddybud 63]

love your ideas master....city is awsome....

a note to whomever moderates this thread....maybe it should be moved to bat development...since thats what im now attempting to do...

 

i finished a diagnal piece for avenues....and a possible way to deal with slopes...though it requires an empty tile next to each sloped track 

and another possible use for this stuff....i've always wanted to string hydro wires through industrial areas...but they dissapear if you develop under

them.....so...underwire scenery...heres some screenies....

 

Before

 

After

 

slope and hydro

 

 

 

 

 

hope im not posting to much but im really having fun

plus maybe i can encourage others noobs like myself to develope some ideas......never know it could happen 

anyways any feedback is much appreciated....cheers

Those tiles under the railroads and powerlines are just wonderful Buddybud!  I really hope to see a pack of these on the Stex!

[buddybud 63]

Thanx Diablo...i plan on it but i want to do it right....whatever that is lol....heres a refinement of my kinda slope conforming under railbridge industrial area tarraced thingys....i think it might work though i want to work on the model and add some variation to the different bits...the lods on this were the worst part to figure out...but i finally worked it out.....feeling better about bat...

I like the way you used the peg pond kit. Especially that waterfall! Nice work!



(sorry for going of topic)

[SODATWIN 7]

[buddybud 63]
