GC_Vos Workshop Assets

[GC_Vos 714]

Hello everybody!

I thought I would share my workshop content here. I don't have a whole lot of assets yet, but I am slowly expanding...

To keep the thread clean most of the info and screenshots are on the main workshop pages.

Cold Fusion Reactor

Fans of C&C Generals will rejoice with this recreation of the Cold Fusion Reactor. While I did not set out to build an exact replica, it ended up being quite faithful to the original. It's also my most detailed and well rounded model so far. With its 40MW output the A1 reactor is just as powerful as a Coal Power Plant. The A2 version has been upgraded with Control Rods and provides 50% more power.

Type: Cold Fusion Reactor
Service: Electricity
Power: 40 ~ 60MW
Cost: 32000 ~ 45000
Cost/MW: 750 ~ 800
Upkeep: 480 ~ 600/Week
Upkeep/MW: 10 ~ 12
Polution: 0
Noise: 10

Toll Booth Turnpikes

This experimental series of turnpike structures will allow traffic to flow through up to five individual lanes as well as provide patrol coverage directly through your motorways. At this time these do not generate money, so they are mostly for adding a visual landmark in front of bridges etc.

Service: Police
Cells: 6x16
Patrol vehicles: 8
Accumulation: 25
Coverage: 1000
Electricity: TBD
Water: 15

- TLC-A1 - High Speed -
Passive high velocity setup for large amounts of expressway traffic.
Cost: 11000
Upkeep: 48/Week
3 High Speed Lanes + 2 Lay-by Lanes
All Lanes Open
Status: Published BETA
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=487175904

- TLC-A2 - Congested -
This setup will actively slow down incoming cars and trucks.
Cost: 11000
Upkeep: 0 (Self-sufficient)
2 Low Speed Lanes + 2 Lay-by Lanes
3 Gridlocked Lanes (Parked cars)
1 Closed Lane
Status: Published BETA
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=487176169

- TLC-S1 - Compact version -

Large Parking Garage

A large modern parking garage for all your stationary needs.
Place two of these in opposing directions to form a 14x14 block.

Service: Park
Cells: 14x7
Cost: 8000
Upkeep: 800/128/Week
Entertainment: 100
Range: 600

Wow the toll booth is, hands down, one of coolest innovative buildings I've seen so far! Great idea, great work, now you just need to figure out how to make income from it

Looking forward to seeing more from you 

[GC_Vos 714]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I would love to have it so each car gives you some money, but I have no programming skills. :/

[GC_Vos 714]

Added a smaller version to the series of toll booths.

This one fits onto a six-lane and is much more userfriendly.

[boformer 3,169]

Does it work if the terrain is not flat?

By using the Japanese garden template, it might be possible to achieve that.

[GC_Vos 714]

It'll work but it will look terrible. Cant make the model follow the terrain unfortunately

[GC_Vos 714]

Just uploaded a series of roundabout islands...

Many thanks to Soldyne and Schmidtbochum for suggesting the Japanese Garden template.

Those cold fusion reactors are great. C&C for ever!

[GC_Vos 714]

Thank you, I use them as my primary power source, so easy to expand upon compared to solar. Generals is only the greatest rts ever made.

Added 2x2 island...

[wallacet 336]

 Generals is only the greatest rts ever made.

Age of Empires 2 and expansions. No question.

[GC_Vos 714]

Wasn't really satisfied with the old car park, so I made this new one

[GC_Vos 714]

Added some painted lines today...

[GC_Vos 714]

Just for fun, here is a recreation of the 3D Cinema from RCT1 & 2.

I'll just leave this here...

[GC_Vos 714]

Hey guys! I've really been wanting to follow up on the cold fusion reactor because I love that kind of rugged industrial style. But I didn't feel like doing another remake, so I looked around the workshop and noticed there's very few telecommunications buildings, like big tv stations etc. So I decided to work on a very large ISP data center doubling as a power plant. I have the basic geometry setup, it covers the full 12x13 cells and two of them can be placed b2b so you get a giant 12x26 building. The design is roughly based on the SuperNAP structures in Las Vegas, the sattelite orb things on top are inspired by the Terremark building in Miami. Other than that it's completely fictional.

Would love to hear what you guys think of this design, because things can still be moved around and modified.

edit: ingame...

[boformer 3,169]

It looks great!

I would just add a few more details on the roof (maybe in the texture), because that is the part you will see all the time.

The squares on the roof could be windows so you could see the servers inside.

I would create a prop for the barrier you used.

[GC_Vos 714]

Thank you! I agree it still needs the smaller details, pipes, electric boxes, wiring. Some of those I will probably add with decals (vents, logos, all the scaffolding around the cooling units etc)

Those windows will actually be large solar panels

Making the barrier a prop would be more clever yes, but I need a lot of them to form a realistic perimeter (30+). I want the metal fences all the way around as well + a lot of AC units on top so for now I'm reserving the prop count for that. Can always swap them out later.

[boformer 3,169]

A question about your tollbooth turnpikes:

Which road type did you use? And whats the height of the ground mesh?

[GC_Vos 714]

I used three highway ramps for the A1 and oneway roads for the A2 (just to slow down the cars). You do see the tires sink thru the floor when you use normal roads, HW works better for it.

The tarmac is like 5cm above the ground to prevent z-fighting, you don't see the gap ingame unless you look really really closely.

[boformer 3,169]

I will probably use dirt roads for my bus hub, because that's the only road with bus stops on the lane. I think it is also flat like the highway.

Thanks for your help!

[GC_Vos 714]

A bus terminal is perfect for this technique! Are you gonna use Japanese Garden?

Oh yeah it's BIG

 

 

[boformer 3,169]

It will be a part of the train station I'm doing.

 

[GC_Vos 714]

First pass on the textures, very wip

[GC_Vos 714]

Second pass, diffuse only

 

[GC_Vos 714]

Added Shroomblazes ac unit as the only separate prop.

I am a bit unsure about diffuse brightness, I like it right now but CO models are clearly brighter and more saturated, what do you guys think?

[Judazzz 1,936]

Depending on the used LUT and biome it might be a bit dark indeed (which is something you as an asset creator don't have control over), but personally I think it fits well if you keep this building grey and menacing. Perhaps a slightly lighter tone for the concrete walls so it gains a little contrast, but other than that I think it looks terrific.

[Shroomblaze 320]

I think it looks good, It doesn't need to be bright. My one suggestion would be to maybe give that polygonal globe structure some more noticeable texture. Nice Hvac Systems too! Please make a custom LOD.

[GC_Vos 714]

Thank you for the comments and suggestions...! Semi-Final pass before making the LOD Base model is at 3700 polys and maxed out on props, about where I want to be

The generators and cooling units have a metallic specular, looks nice and shiny but bit hard to see in the screens

It's got a big atlas of generic metal and concrete panels, I'll probably end up reusing parts of it

 

 

[Darf 1,439]

Textures look really nice! How did you make that fence so detailed? Is it alpha layered?

  Edited September 20, 2015 by Darf  

[GC_Vos 714]

Thank you! Do you mean the outer fence or the scaffolding/catwalk?
