Nice work.I almost forgot about the Transformers 4 Pagani.What i loved the most on these soulless Tranformers clones were the way how they transformed.A cloud of small bits was swirling around until they reached a place where they could transform into Bot or Car Mode.

 

Even if i don`t like the Pagani (and it`s unspeakable name...Heuhera...Huhara...argh forget itz :D) you did a great work on this.OMG i can even see the brakes...

Too bad we won`t see that much of these sweet Textures in the game.

 

The Queen Mary 2...wow what an impressive boat.Really can`t wait to see that impressive thing in my Game.

    The textures, to be honest were picked up from Google images showing the top, sides, front, and back, then modified to act more like textures. I'm using the same technique with the Queen Mary 2, but finding decent donors is not as easy as the Pagani. But what I am trying to get away with would be to have enough distraction with the overall design of the ship (lifeboats, funnels, antenna, and some cranes will draw the viewer to those spots more often than each plank in the floor.

    Fantail of the Queen Mary has been textured. Everything below where the top most deck goes is complete at this point.

    I sorta agree with the name part. Even though Huayra is what I would pick as my favorite supercar.

     

    Airman, you did a great job with them. I can't thank you enough.

     

    Also, fun fact: I actually first learned about the Huayra through Hot Wheels as Hot Wheels had a model of it in its line-up.I think this was.....last year maybe? I don't remember.

    Meeep /Quizshow-Buzzer Noise - The Huayra was first released in 2013 as part of the Hot Wheels Mainline in two different colours and also last year in green and blue.

     

    Sorry airman for interrupting you :D

    Actually, I am not really satisfied with the color of the pools. They are supposed to look more like this-

    But this project hasn't reached the testing phase just yet, so there is still a little room for improvement. And I can't wait to post these on the exchange! Once they are uploaded, i'll post a link to it here as well.

    I remember my collection of Hot Wheels! I once had one of those power boosters that launched the cars down the track. But that one went through so many batteries!

    Thank you again, Airman. Now the rich Sims will have another supercar to drive :rofl:

     

    My favorite supercar, to be exact. Or at least, up there with the Lamborghini Aventador and Gumpert Apollo S.

     I hope I could pick up on some classics in the future, once I manage to clear my plate of the large projects. However, there are a set of 1932 Ford Model B's included in one of my other uploads. there is one ship based on the SS Solano which has a couple of Ford Model B Pickups on the deck.

     

    Also, if you're interested in upgrading your taxi's there is a set that I think you will love. Mikeseith made a set of Checker Marathon Taxi's and then a short while later they were retouched by Rivit. and they give more of a NY-type of feel. I made my own derivatives and i'm wondering if I should upload them?

    Aaaand to be honest, after all i downloaded the Paganis.I mean the rich people in NYC need something to drive around :D

    Hot Rods and Classics would really be sweet as automatas,but there is no hurry.Also you should really upload your Checker Cabs.I know that they are long gone in Real Life,but it never hurts to revive the good old glory days....

    I think the Checker Taxi will always be the best of them all in the world of Taxi's. Yes there are others that are more fuel efficient but the Checker has that touch of elegance that can never be matched. 

     

    This is the first cab, which is not that different from Rivit's cab except for an added seal on the rear passenger doors.

    The next one is an all-black cab, based on a Checker that is actually owned and used by an upscale hotel in Greensboro.

    And lastly, a cream and green cab based on the Checkers that serviced Chicago.

    Cool story of the black Checker.A few weeks ago i read a story of a guy living hundreds of miles away from NY and he owns a late (2003/2004) Ford Crown Vic Cab which was used in Manhattan.He just changed the batteries and some small stuff and now uses it as a daily driver.The Cab has still it`s NYC Livery,and often people asked him if he is an actual NY Cab Driver :D

     

    You surely will do a good job on this Checker Cabs (what`s that smell?Is it HD Textures in the works like with all your other cars?) :D

    The Chicago Cab also looks sweet.Love the two shades of green.

    Would you perhaps be interested in making an Audi RSQ?

    Sweet taxis! :thumb:

     

    I'm curious, are those police cars still in the works (and the poll about liveries)?

    Possibly in the near future.

    I held off on a poll for the time until I finished another model to compliment the Charger-

    Now I am ready to ask- which cities should I include in a pack of police upgrades?

    Nice model!

    I can drop a few suggestions (most of which don't appear to have a Suburban SUV version... but I'm sure an adaption could be concocted...).

     

     

    -NYPD (Ney York Police Dept)

    It seemed logical considering the fact that a lot of people like to mess with NYC recreations. Only downside I can see is that "NYPD" is written big enough that it might actually be legible in-game, which ruins the generic-ness.

     

    8886814842_d5db1d2b96_b.jpg

     

    2578435328_3c70a441e7.jpg

     

     

    -LAPD (Los Angeles Police Dept)

    Since nothing written on the car would be legible in SC4, it's a pretty good choice for a generic black & white police livery that would fit in any city (particularly an American-themed one). As far as I know, there are no Suburbans in the fleet so it would have to be improvised.

     

    3365297047_9153cbe5e4.jpg

     

     

    -MPD (Memphis Police Dept)

    Call it pride, but I just had to suggest it. The writing on the side should be small enough for it to be illegible in SC4, which would make it a generic white/blue police car. As far as I know, there are no Suburbans in the fleet so it would have to be improvised. As a (minor) side-note, there are no red lights in the lightbar on the roof - all of the lights are blue or white.

    Thoughts?

    Can't wait to what other people's suggestions are. :yes:

    Keep them coming! These look like perfect candidates!

     

    As far as the writing on each side, this should be remedied by the use of SD textures which are 256x256 and below. HD textures (512x512 and above) however will show everything.

    Does that say what I think it says on the police vehicles? If so, great city choice.

     

    Those are indeed Sault Ste Marie markings for the Canadian side of the border. I could include a few international skins for each set, too!  ;)

     

     

    Nice automata airman! Always in need of police alternatives :D

     

    I've seen some mods for Dodge Chargers before, but very few HD examples. The Chevrolet Suburban as well as my Charger will replace the Police Van and Police Car, respectively. Although, Simfanatik did an amazing job on making the older model Suburban for his FBI mods.

    That's great. Those would be perfect for creating Sault Ste. Marie.

    Alright! The list for the police units is starting to grow!

     

    So far we have the following departments lined up to become SimCity police units-

     

    -NYPD

    -LAPD

    -Chicago

    -Memphis

    -Florida HP

    -California HP

    -and Portland

     

    Any other suggestions are welcome, but I will have to cut off at some point. Maybe 10 as the maximum, leaving three open slots.
