@Simmer2 ... except where are the trains getting the blades... considering the yard only gains 1 blade during the entire process and does not lose any ? *:)

There are those who lead and those who follow. Don't look too far...

@Simmer2 - this is so great watching ... the timed props ... wow. I'd like to call it 'action lots' - what you are doing. To me you're the Arnold Schwarzenegger of content creators. The Bruce Willis of lotting, the Jason Statham of batting ...

@Simmer2 So its last out first loaded ? Sorry if it seems nitpicky, I would just think anything in the yard would be shipped first.

@redfox85 (the nitpicker) *:D Pretend that the ones being shipped are special order (the biggest blades) and they get stored in the factory.

I would have to create an additional 14 timed props to make that little sequence. I spent last night making 35 of them. Each one is custom made for the sequence therefore you will not find copy paste references. I also had to create the props to go with the timed exemplars, from scratch.^_^ Ya see where I'm going with this? Where does it end?

Simmer2

PS Before anybody asks. That LNG ( Liquefied natural gas) tank is used by the massive resin bonding oven. The blades are not made out of metal. They are made with a special resin compound that needs heat in order to make them harden.

I think the gist was that creating all those timed sequence props, etc -- was supposed to drive you 'round the bend. *:rofl:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

I will say the Factory is way to small though, the blades are what? 2/3rds the size of the factory? size up factory a bit I'd say.

Close enough! But I will attempt to tweak it with Model Tweaker. That building took 3 and a half hours to render in HD.

@Simmer2, You could try a modular lot with the factory split in two. :)
 

Yea, I have a prototype done of a modular setup for it. But then I thought that it is too niche to appeal to the broader audience and decided to go with a single lot.

We will see what happens *:D

@rsc204: Beautiful! I love how you added realistic weathering, too. *:) Very soon I'll be able to build cycle lanes I wish my city had in real life, which makes me happy on the SC side but sad on the RL side, heh.

@ikilluasap1: Nice idea with the tram on the beach promenade! I wish those quays de Seine came with some trees, though. The way it is, the whole affair looks a bit drab, but I guess that can hardly be helped. :lost:

@korver I love that last one, it's so crowded that the shapes of the buildings are just on the verge of turning it into an abstract image.

Some of you might remember my two car packs...

Not a very professional image and these would fit much better on a custom texture with 6 spaces per side (like the Japanese one), but uh... progress?

Some of them are in the game now... :party:

@korver

LA -- !!!!

NOW you're TALKIN' !! 

Lived there for about 14 years.  The place where I left behind a wild -- and hopefully  -- misspent youth !!

Nice freeway -- brings back memories.  Outside of Germany -- the only highway system that encourages oncoming traffic to merge into flow at 70 mph !!
