Follow up to my 50 mil video that got a lot of media attention

@AP @Dreadnought It is a BAT with transparency activated (I use SC4 Model Tweaker to set it) placed in a lot that must be placed next to the ship.

The gray rectangle is the LOD and the plane with the texture is off-center -16m to one side.

The LOD is 2 planes (attached obviously): a very small one at a height of 0.002m and a large one, which is the one I use to cover the texture, is at a height of 0.016m. 

For me the biggest problem I have is the wake texture, I only have one and for me it is too complicated to make one from scratch. In the end I am going to use the same one on all the ships I export so it will look repeated.

Here's another addition to my port warehouses. It's an approximate rendition of a building I saw on a model railroad site.

You may want to release this beauty before our beloved SImtropolis goes down again -although our new advanced server will massively improve performance:

The first half of the upcoming new pack of semidetached houses:

[jestarr 3,423]

Now that Simtropolis is back up, these will coming your way soon. The buildings will have exemplers for growables, ploppables and props. The container props are something I made years ago, but lost the models to HDD failure. I still have all the texture files so I decided to remake them in HD. I have approximately 200 different textures in 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, So this will be set 1.

Some classic Georgian here and I really like those archways. I like the building on the upper left, is that Federal style?

Look at all that variety for one piece of detail! Wow. Could recreate the Port of Baltimore with all those containers!

Your bat is more "Greek revival" I guess. lol IDK. Will go well with CP's work!

Welcome back from the server downtime lol.

Anyone have strong opinions on these colors? (I guess I should also make some variations of the roof texture)

the wall colors look authentic and it would be nice to have some slightly varied roof rust patterns   thanks for your contributions 

[JoelMk2 333]

For my fellow avgeeks: while the site was down I finished a big pack of 2020s-appropriate planes for modular airports (maybe I got carried away...). I have this ready to upload though I'm currently not able to - getting an error with processing - will try again soon! Preview pics below...

Thats pretty good tbh, the wall color of modern rural buildings in SEA varies within every color like pink, yellow, light yellow, green, light green, light blue, blue, cream, etc. 

For the roof texture, are you used roof made from zinc in the picture? Thats pretty nice, only need some variations of zinc roof. But for other materials, you can use roof texture from clay and asbestos which easily found in low-wealth residential throughout Asia especially SEA/3rd world countries.

Everything is awesome, nice model and texture imo only need more variations of roof texture and wall color. It fits to low-wealth residental, rural, or Asia/SEA/3rd world countries theme. And I think it blends well with Wallibuk's too, which is even better news 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes, roof textures are basically all zinc or tin. I decided to keep it simple because I can't yet figure out a way to model the sandbags (?) that are often on the roofs of the actual Kerala tea estate houses these are based on.

And thanks!

Ah yeah, I forgot the Kerala tea estate you mentioned earlier before modelling.

You can make the sandbags as part of the zinc roof texture maybe (?), so its become the part of the roof texture rathen than a "props". I think this is the simplest way to do it, I guess

Btw, cant wait to add them to my Plugin folder dude!🙌

When I'm in doubt, I just take a screenshot of any roof I really like and extrude the small details like pipes ducts, AC units etc by hand. Maybe you could do the same thing with sandbags, situationally?

Some more rural work done, added some greenhouses to the region.
And also finished the summerhouse for the royal family 
 

Any chance you could tell me where you got the main residence for the royal family? It is absolutely beautiful.

New Chicago Urban Project !

Some project wich I worked on prepair basic road and rail structure. Looking for something urban not to big I like the presence of the eleveated loop still there; Newyork only the suburb area still have them this require some reaquantance with these networks. Generale I opt not to have non original cities so this will be a chicago tyle set only city and the buildings are except the maxis mostly what there is !

Dearborn station like in the south of the city, the Sears and Federal Plaza !

The Loop railway western section completed, still some hard to workout sections to go !

Unusual very large area try to get with grip. Aside the station some medium business zone and at the right residential to come !

Completing the southern and eastern loop now priority as if you start the simulation anything  adjust will be akward. To accomedate a healthy enviroment I had a go with the Blam French connection parks and plaza´s wich I will show you next time !

This and the Puglia project now will share progress, several other project are there but except partialy developed not ready for launch !

Hope this will give me some break from the rural schene without to many headaches !!

Enjoy !
