Under Bridge Scenery

[Thut 0]

Purely unbelievable pictures but how do u do...

The bridge texture blends with the wall??

Everything so straight and nice...?

[buddybud 63]

thanx dusty didnt know that

 

thut the bridges im designing....

as for straight...use single road tiles to flatten an area....its the best tool around...use it and only it...the other tools (street rail etc} act differently...

 

peg also has a land flatner bat of some sort and smocrie has some hole digging lots.....check the stex

page nine of pure eye candy

Those stone arch bridges look nice! They add a bit more realism to the game itself! You wonder why nobody ever thought of this on day 1, saying that, If Maxis had tried to create something like this, they wouldn't have done it to as high a standard as you people have...I cant help taking the above comment into hand though, is this just eyecandy? And are there any known tansit problems?

[buddybud 63]

yeah its just eyecandy in the sence that it has very limited nimy effects....and the fact that it takes up space just to look good...

there are no transit problems so far...it all works fine....occassionally if a bridge isnt place right a train passes through it and it becomes ghost like......like when going through a tunnel....but this is avoidable...but no..no known problems so far..

 

there have been people who have thought of this....theres a thread around about skinning a bridge......a BIG bridge...

and peg has couple threads on his site about overhanging props...and how they can be used for foundation exposure and such...

i truly think that the simplicity of this solution is what made it overlooked...plus the limitaions...slope and such...which have mostly been worked around by now....also the use of lods is neccesarry and common but i dont know if anyone used them to wrap around other objects to make them dissappear like i did....i think that may be a first for me...who knows...who cares...lol

its all about fun....for myself and eventually for others...maxis probably thought of it but never had time to deal with this stuff...like much of the rest of the game....the engine and final product are two different beasts...the engine represents the potential...while the final product represents its shortcomings due to the rush and greed of ea games...oh well...

It's perhaps just eyecandy, but it's so good. Thank to people like you we have a much greater game and joy playing. What you are doing here is excellent, i love it. Thank you.

That's something that aint possible with this game sorry

[buddybud 63]

SimCityMafia4: hordijk is absolutlely right(thanx)....there is presently no way of doing this in the game...though there is a lengthy workaround to get the appearence of what you want...sadly at this moment there is only one piece abailable for roads to do this

 

go here ....half way down the page is a tutorial and links to everything you need to do almost what you want...a warning...its a lengthy process and most think its just not worth it though i would beg to differ....

 

edit: as for the canal pieces...some sets provide a 'under elevated rail' piece...these can also be used for under bridges like you want

[SimCityMafia4 1]

Hi Buddybuy,

I'd get it as copy this bridges over never successed. How do make a bridge over?

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Bridges%20impossible%20over.JPG align=top>

It isn't work bridge over as impossible!

 

Yep, I'd got it all downloaded before: BridgeH1

                                                    : Hole Digging Lot Ver. 2

 

I get the Lots That Dig Holes as explain for infor. and how make it bridge. But you do can make it.

 

[Hordijk 18]

Hi again,

Now the files aren't meant for roads but for traintracks you make a train track over a road or whatever with the nam puzzle pieces for traintracks and you place the lot next to it like you did in your picture

 

also when you install the files you get a readme.. read it it teaches you how to do it

it looks much better than without

hope you could understad that I'm not a good teacher

 

And buddybud nope your right it doesn't matches my gender but it is the gender I love most

Finally, I'd make it now also it's everything okay as good. I'd figure the readme to clear. Very Easy not hard smile.

 

Its awesome and nice an Bridges of rail track and can be use roads.

Oh man. I just skimmed over this thread back in it's early days, and then sort of just filtered it out. I come back and check it, I can't believe the progress you made buddy!

Just downloaded your first releases, can't wait to play around with these. They're exactly what the boring green lines that run through parts of my city need!

[buddybud 63]

SimCityMafia4 glad it worked for ya...and nice photos

thanx Rabid Tangerine been a bit of work to get this far

 

[buddybud 63]

again i apologize....ill do my best to continue when time arises....thanx for all the interest thusfar

[prince_of_sims 0]

Buddybud, these bridges are amazing, i've loved playing about with them, get some really cool results.

Can't wait for the next batch, looking even better.

Thought i'd show off this. I made a kind of viaduct



They also work quite well for roads, as well as rail. Avenues come out nice, with double bridges!

[____----____ 37]

cool

[Hordijk 18]

Those aquaduct's look very nice!

[kassarc16 4]

Well, sorry to bump this back up, but I had to show you two instances from my city.

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//doublerailbridge.jpg align=baseline>

This picture is actually taken within a city, believe it or not. It's the main lines heading down to the Naval Station. Here a freight hauls out who-knows-what in it's top secret boxcars. 

 

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//amtrakbridge.jpg align=baseline>

And here, an Amtrak pulls commuters over a main thoroughfare elsewhere in the city. Be-ute-eful!

 

The second picture brings up a request (along with those other type of bridges and embankment types you showed earlier., and other than the texture bug from the avenue mod.) Would it be possible to get a slim support between the avenue lanes? It would look alot more like the ones I see around here. 

 

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work

[GMT 389]

awesome work.

i hope you'll all have success in doing those pieces.
they are one of the few things missing to make sc4 REALLY realistic
