RyanJamesofLondon's Buildings Thread (mcdrye returns)

[mcdrye 104]

Hi all!

I thought it was time for me to return to Simtropolis and share with you my building creations for Cities: Skylines. I originally released content for SC4 a few years back as mcdrye and have recently started creating assets for CS.

My first asset was the Sunken Plaza which you probably have already downloaded, as it was the most popular item on the Workshop for several weeks.

You might notice I have a penchant for Las Vegas style architecture which I think CS is sorely lacking.

Below are some recent creations.

 

Today I just released the High Roller Casino which can be downloaded here

Glad to see you back.

I really like your buildings!

The only problem I experienced is that your large props dissappear too early. I hope that CO adds a way to control this in the future.

SC4 misses you. It almost makes me want to buy CS just so I can experience your work

Thanks guys, back in the day it took several hours to render a BAT on my old computer, partly because I modelled so inefficiently but partly the computer. I lost interest and had some RL problems (Father passed away) and left behind many unfinished buildings, some of which I hope to redo for CS.

For the newer members of the forum I've put up some old images of stuff I released/never finished.

Modelling for CS is much different and I had to learn a lot about Poly Editing (should have done for SC4BAT really) but it's much easier and less time consuming.

I'd love to see this metro entrance in Cs

Speaking of the Lucky Penny... any chance that will make it the STEX?  Your last render made it look pretty much complete.

Unfortunately the max file and textures were lost as far as I'm aware but I'm in the process of finding the old stuff so hopefully yes.

I intend to remake the Lucky Penny anyway for CS which would make it easy to convert to SC4 also, the old model was ridiculously inefficient, like 100,000 tris and took hours to render.

I wasn't active much in the SC4 days, but I remember some of those images! All very awesome stuff - I'd love to see some of it make it to CS

[madhatter106 3,903]

I remember the Lucky Penny...!

This is amazing.. I always wondered what happened to you.. I love the British bats, and I would love to see that sunken rail for sc4. As you may know, some of us hardcore players are still wishing to see those creations for sc4.

British Bats are always so exclusive in here.. I wish you still have interest in that.

In any case, welcome back!

I love casinos! Keep em coming!

I would also love to see your London (and others too) buildings in SC4. Tube trench especially. If your are working with 3ds max extra rendering for SC4 could be doable, but a good Cities building may not be a good SC4 building. And vice versa. Graphically these two games are so different and I understand the need to focus in one.

It's back! Currently working on remodelling the Lucky Penny Casino. Originally a laughable 900,000 tris, now around 5000. Actually looking forward to texturing.
