WOW! Planning to join the NAM team and convert that into a SAM based street?

[Bipin 3,402]

A few members had asked me about the release some of the highway props I had worked on a while ago and never uploaded. For those of you who are wondering the same thing, wonder no more, for they can be downloaded right now, right here:

While the download only includes props such as guardrails and overpasses, and not their respective lots, the job shouldn't be too bad when designing your own lots with them. The props are quite versatile and may be utilized in their initially intended way, such as here...

 

 

...or placed on your own accord, as they can be used in a variety of situations I have not yet realized. Be creative! Also, be sure to expect more along these lines:

 

 

Enjoy!

Nothing more to say... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS PROPS MY FRIEND!

[Darknono35 3,137]

Thanks Bipin to share your awesome work.

[Ace3 1,209]

Thank you so much Bipin. Your work is always top-notch!

I guess VIP team is falling to their knees and is pleading for you. 

 

Nah but serious. You've been one of very little batters who are regulary active and giving some nice high-quality productions as a nice addition to the game.

 

About the barriers and signs - I remember having asked you some time ago - how about creating a mod which is automatically creating those props along highways (at lest for the crash barriers)

 

Keep it up (unnecessary note)

Will you apply these for the normal elevated roads and evenues too (not just for the elevated highways)?

That's the intent!

 

 

I'll just have to re-align it a bit, but I hope you enjoy the progress!

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I most certainly do!

Use FAR ramps, and be sure to place them exactly like in the pictures.

 

Anyway, all of your work looks like aerial photography, Bipin!  And it gets better with every update!  Whatever you do man, don't stop now!

I see a little art deco in that overpass piece. 1930s-60s Detroit still in your mind, Bipin?

Nice catch! Art Deco was behind the inspiration for the bas relief on the sides of the ornamental pillar/abutment extensions. I wanted to combine it though with a more modern style characteristic of urban renewal projects from today.

[Bipin 3,402]

Here's a quick little update:

 

 

This piece is designed to work with ERHW-2/4, elevated road and elevated OWR. There will of course be filler pieces.

 

 

Don't worry about the clipping issues. Those can be resolved easily.

 

 

Enjoy!

Bipin... every time I come here you have something amazing to show. 

Awesomeness awesome. I'm running out of adjectives.

Love the look of your CURB.  Devilish to use though

Oops, Meant to ask.. what would you say would be the best set of highway walls go best with your CURB?

[Bipin 3,402]

Oops, Meant to ask.. what would you say would be the best set of highway walls go best with your CURB?

 

Well that's the thing, there aren't really that many highway walls out there. However, I might be able to whip up a small filler piece today if I can find the old CURB files. In the meantime, I'd recommend making your own walls/slopes with MMPs and these as a base texture: http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=721

May I ask what rockmod that is?

 

Great progress and wonderful work, Bipin!

Yikes, never did that before.  Not sure if i have time to learn how to and create my own content

I have no idea. I've been trying to figure out myself for quite some time, although I have a hunch it has to do with Lowkee's terrain mod.

[Sunv 156]

It's the default rock textures for the Appalachian terrain mod.

[Bipin 3,402]

Time to revisit those roads! The last texture had half of the community wish for more cracks/bumpy concrete, whilst the other half wished for less. The more I pleased one party, the more I upset the other. For a week or so I searched fora  better texture, but to no avail. By accident today, I came across this texture and pulled it from an image. Now the hardest part, HD or SD? Let me know what setup you prefer:

 

 

The above is HD at zoom levels five and six, whilst the following images are SD at zoom five:

 

 

 

Frankly, I believe you just don't see anything in SD that warrants the amount of detail in the road surface. I feel as though by going SD, much of this work is in vain. However, it's clear that in HD, the texture appears a bit noisy in some views, which isn't perfect either. What are your suggestions as to where I should go from here?

[Ace3 1,209]

I love the HD more than the SD! Sure, there may be some noise, but nothing that a bit of smart photoshopping won't do for us CJers. I feel like that level of detail and quality just goes to waste with the SD.
