Coils and Windings Inc. coming soon. High Tech industry lot.

Work In progress.

 

Very nice

[Ke|is 3,337]

A new model has been cooked up. This time located in my own city. A Coruña. 

[Null 45 3,114]

Experimenting with the game's terrain texture overlay system:

In this example, I made the game display a 128x128 pixel FSH of the Maxis logo at the center of the map, and then adjusted the overlay opacity to 75%.

The terrain texture overlay system is used for the contour lines and various effects (including the snow overlay). Both the contour lines and snow are considered height maps by the game.  This is a 'decal' overlay, which doesn't appear to be used for anything other than possibly some effects that are in the games Effect Directory files.

A bright event took place on the SANTANA ISLAND.

You can see it here.

I posted a new file, this time directly from my city. I hope you like it.

So, after a week+ of ice storm and no power, it's back to making container port/freight yard props. This is a small sample of what I'm making. They'll all be rendered in various orientations.

Oh... can't be very pleasant!! Well, in any case, the containers are great!

Working on the idea of a pack consisting of farms, probably without IR Fields and mainly dedicated to livestock farming (chickens, sheep, pigs, etc.), while seeking to integrate them as best as possible into the SPAM.

I will definitely create a thread where I will ask for your advice and comments.

And finally, I would like to create custom textures for these lots using those already published (for example, creating an overlay with a texture from Scoty and the alpha from Cycledogg or use bits of textures from different authors to end up with just one, etc.). Do you think this is ethically correct?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

The billboards in the front of Yodobashi are now all mapped out! They still need adjustments in terms of brightness. Next up going to work on the rooftop batting cages/driving ranges

Awesome.  Btw, not sure if you take requests, but do you think you could do a corn wet milling/ethanol plant eventually?

我继续调整东侧隧道入口的细节，修改了侧墙上的通风口，让它们看起来更清晰，但现在可能又把它们做得太大了？我还花了很长时间制作高墙的混凝土纹理，终于做出了满意的效果。看起来会很棒……

 

最初，我建造这些“轨道墙”只是为了让火车在斜坡上运行——让高低不同的火车像现实中那样并排行驶。使用这些轨道墙的一个意外收获是，它能让你把细节刻画得非常细致，甚至能贴近铁轨——电线箱、通讯箱（还有杂草！）紧贴着垂直的混凝土墙，距离铁轨和隧道入口只有几英尺远——这一切都和现实中一模一样。

 

下山，穿过桥底，再过桥……我真的很喜欢建造这样的东西。

So beautiful! Would you like to share these concrete sidewalls?

After 5 days of work...

Hi

Years ago I looked in to that type of industry and found the project truly daunting.

There are a huge amount of structures needed in order to make it realistic. It would involve months of work so no. I did make many grain elevators though some of them pretty complex. look at my list of lots and you will find them there.

On other news...you can now grab SM2 Coils and Windings Inc here ..

Sorry for the double post.

More details being added daily to the Experimental Geothermal Facility..

Understandable.  That is indeed a complicated industry.  Oh well.  At least we do have the one from the late, great DocRorlach to fill the Ethanol industry niche.

But yeah, below are some pics of ADM in Cedar Rapids, which is absolutely huge (and stinky lol) to show that I totally get it.  Thanks anyways tho.  And R.I.P., DocRorlach

The WMP accessory pack will definitely help you achieve your goal.

It contains buildings with the name Ethanol.

By combining these accessories with those from @Simmer2, @jestarr, and other WMP packs (to name a few) and a little bit of work with PIM-X, you can achieve a result very similar to your photos.

An example with WMP ethanol BATs mixed with those of the authors mentioned above (don't look too closely. Lot under construction).

Already have them.  Thank you tho.  I simply thought it would be interesting to see another but I do agree what I was requesting is an incredibly difficult and complex undertaking so I understand Simmer2's reluctance to do it.  It's fine.😎👍

 Updated:

There are still more props to export, I'll add them in the next update.

Testing Phase..

@Simmer2

I can't decide what impresses me more: the quality of your BATs or the speed at which you produce them.

I spent two weeks and went through four boxes of aspirin trying to create a roof with a dormer window and a chimney using Gmax. The end result was... a monstrosity worthy of deletion.

To get around my inability to create BATs in Gmax and still be able to create custom BATs, I assemble FSHs from different authors using GIMP and place them in a box.

progress on stuff I did despite being repeatedly interrupted by the snow this week:

These are fantastic.  I'm going to end up using eleven trillion billion hundred thousand of these things on my lots  

[Dead_End 1,630]

Figured a new computer was a good time to rebuild my plugins and PIM-X folders. Relotting older Dutch files was on my list for some time. The back gardens still need some more work, but happy how it's coming along:

More rich sims moving to your city?

Hello, does anyone know who I can hire to build a structure? Perhaps there is a person or a specific website that does this kind of thing for a fee. Thank you for your support.
