I upload a package of passenger ferries yesterday:

 

 

Hey sir, can you make a futuristic ferry boat such as this one?

Or maybe something like this?

    Sorry KonstantinII. I am not going to do something like that.

     

    Have be doing a little dusting on my harddrive.

    Working on finishing the harbour bus:

    CtNOs7j.jpg

     

    These are inspired by the Copenhagen Harbourbus (havnebus):

    HAVNEBUS1.jpg

    A bit different that the orignal, but trying to adapt it to the game.

     

    EDIT: Looking at the last picture, I think I need to adjust the color a little toward a more orange tone yellow.

    Custom ferry ports ? hmm

     

    Can only think of two creators of ferry ports: Pegasus and WMP (1, 2, 3...)

    Lovely! The thought of picking a similar-lookign livery for trains, trams, buses AND ferries certainly has its appeal, and your ferry mod may very well make it possible.

    Is there any possibility of making these as props to plop in water? I'd like to create the impression of a busy 'riverbus' service and these would look fantastic.

    Belfastsocrates: I am not the right man to ask. My guess is it is possible.

     

     

    Been working on the ACTV Motonavi Cruise Ship:

    At the moment I am working on placing windows and other details.

     

    This model is inspired by the Venice ACTV motorboats.

    Have update the files for the Water Taxis. One UDI icon shows up in the menu. Thanks goes out to Tropod for his help on this problem.

    Those are cool. I'm going to have to try and find some custom ferry ports. I rarely use ferries in game, but now I really want to use these.

     

    I also love your older GLR train mods.

    Yeah, Vester's automata are just great. :) These little ferries / water taxis are no exception. I love the variation, too!

    That's some pretty awesome ferries :golly:


    "If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

    "Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity

    Those ferries are actually pretty cool, and some of them may be suitable for my purposes. Thanks.

    Thank you all. Working on the ACTV Motonavi Cruise Ship. No pictures to show just yet.

     

     

    Those are cool. I'm going to have to try and find some custom ferry ports.

     

    Made a list of ferry terminals / landings / ports.

    There might be more, but these are the ones I found.

    Almost done with the base for the skins now:

    8FhCmew.jpg

    A few bumps that needs to be ironed out.
    All the railing and the two holes on the lower deck walls just in front of the chimneys are done with alpha channel in the texture.
