Absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to use them!

*sighs* Another game changer. *starts new city*

Released the boat trailer I made almost a year ago: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1141253604

 

 

Started working on some piles, thinking of making a set of different materials and shapes:

Maybe I'll release decals for blending them into the surroundings later...

Started working on a conveyor belt prop, probably will make different versions, the other one would be static and taller like in quarries:

will you be using the animated UV shader to have the belt moving?? Looks good!

No, CO broke the AnimUV shader in 1.8, and this doesn't affect just the mod, the vanilla animated signs are also broken. 

Besides, the way I'm using normal maps wouldn't make sense for an animated one.

WIP Conveyors: decided to color match the portable one with some @Avanya containers.

Also a big quarry version:

 

WIP Water Treatment: going to make a rectangular basin thing as well probably

The clarifier arm spins using the wind turbine shader + script.

Started a japanese kei truck - Daihatsu Hijet:

Trying to fit into a 1024x512 and aiming under 2k tris.

[Turjan 1,048]

I love small trucks and I'm looking forward to this one. The smaller the vehicles, the easier the traffic.

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Progress on the Daihatsu Hijet:

968 tris without any wheels or underside.

Texture is 1024x512.

Daihatsu Hijet released: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1177527894

 

 

EDIT: I updated it with a plate, rust, dirt, seperated wipers from the windshield, and fixed the normal map which was accidentally offset by 1px before:

 

 

Also made an industrial version with a bed cover:

Asphalt & Pavement Rail Crossings: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1183099555

 

Started working on suspended monorail, here's just an experiment to see the technical aspects of a regular vs station monorail track and how the segment mesh looks above a train:

The network (segments/nodes/pillars/props) itself will be inspired by Chiba Urban Monorail.

But the train car will be the Shonan 500 Series, started that a bit:

 

Also planning to make a simple station, probably a variant over a road and a standalone one.

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Released some pavement curbs: Disappointed as I realized that non-up-facing normals don't work correctly for ploppable asphalt props... the lighting kind of rotates together with the prop, I don't think the road shader recognized the rotation of the prop. 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1189863348

 

 

First test of suspended monorail ingame, the network stuff is a bit messy.

Too bad I won't be able to have those ridges on the tracks on the nodes, because the lane props don't continue on the node.

Also I won't be able to place a pillar on the node, because it's impossible to make a generic one to fit any intersection, so there will be a big piece of track kind of hanging in the air depending on your intersection. The pillar will be a prop pack though so you could just put together whatever kind of pillar you want.

Also I figured out how to use the train shader on monorail (so it's not dirty like monorail) but also not have the train start spinning... will explain later.

I guess I will include a suspended monorail over basic road as well but not more than that.

Still have to work on the stations, one will be over basic road and the other standalone.

This is diffuse only for now.

Looks superb, nice work so far!

So yeah... that only works only for the engine itself, when you add passenger cars, the vertex painting recalculates for them and any new adjustments don't get saved.

So now these are the options:
1. Use a building shader but the line coloring doesn't work.
2. Use a prop shader but the illumination doesn't work.
3. Make a mod that does the vertex painting on load, which @SimonRyr might help with.

Kind of disappointed when I found that out.

But meanwhile you can look at some segments and pillars, ignore the overlapping pillar on the right:

Too bad those laneprops don't continue on the nodes, they will look kinda plain.

Looks great, too bad you won't do a Wuppertal styled suspended monorail.

Also in an unexpected rush, Sedona Map Theme, LUT and Cliffs for Pres released:

Keep up the great work! You are a force in the workshop and an inspiration to modelers.

[Delta2k5 311]

If I could I'd vote for the "Wuppertal version" too - I know this is sounding kinda crazy, but I think those unique, old tracks would fit the Metro Overhaul Mods steel style tracks! Yes, that's right - in this case america and europe would meet in a city of mine  

[boformer 3,169]

Kind of crazy that so many people are demanding Wuppertal-style tracks (and that they even know Wuppertal exists). I'm living like 30km away and never got there.

Düsseldorf Airport and Dortmund University, two cities in the same region, got systems similar to the ones made by Ronyx. I think they were developed by Siemens.

 

 

[Turjan 1,048]

Though I've been using the Duesseldorf Sky-Train more often, I have taken the "Schwebebahn" already a couple of times. You can also see it from the train at several places. The depot in Oberbarmen is situated directly next to the railway station and you can sometimes see some "Schwebebahn" trains inside through the windows.

I figured out some more things about the additive shader which i tested a long time ago, some of you might remember.

It softly fades with other objects and that radius can be controlled, so you can disable that. And you can also control intensity, high intensities also have bloom.

@SimonRyr made the time-of-day dependent base of the mod and now you can test it: 

The idea is you can add full RGB illumination sub-buildings or props to your buildings, and also control the time at which they turn on/off.

WAIT!!!.....You discovered a way for us to have RGB illumination by time of day in this?? Awesome!

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Baked lighting using V-Ray as additive shader sub-building:

Not the best use case, but it works. it seems that being pushed out 2mm above the main model is enough to not have any z fighting, you can see some bright edges sometimes, as the shader is 2 sided.

Keep in mind this is a sub-building, so it's a duplicate of all the faces that have the lighting, and also another texture.

 

Started a japanese fire station, thinking of using the shader for a tiny piece here, similar to the picture, but only coming out of one garage door.
