Mntoes Skylines Productions

[mntoes 271]

Good Day.I thought I would at last delve into making assets for Cities Skylines having fiddled about with Blender for some time.. I already have one asset on Steam Pitfitcie castle Aberdeenshire

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=912548313

My next up-load will be a series of Art Deco housing.  This is the first one very nearly completed:- (four others in various stages of build)

 

I am confused as to what level this building should be. I currently have it set as L2, 20 Adults and 10/10 Households.  I'm guessing that Cities Skylines is similar to SimCity 4 in that the residents per house are exaggerated in order to get higher population levels? Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

10 households feels like a bit much. Most 4x4 low-density buildings tend to hold 4-6 households, IIRC. Anyway, more art deco sounds great - it's possibly my favorite style.

The table with this information is actually in the official wiki. Households (including up to 2 workers per household) per tile in residentials:

Zone	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5
Low Res	.2	.25	.3	.35	.45
Hi Res	.5	.75	1.0	1.25	1.5

Thanks for the link. I must be well confused.  I compare these two CO assets and it makes no sense to me. Same asset vastly different stats?

6 Adults, 3 Households

 

Same CO asset:-

20 Adults, 10 Households

 

The first 4x4 has less residents than the second 3x3 ?

 

My lot is 3/3 so  I guess the stats are not too bad. ?

Thanks

Don't you have the realistic pop mod?

No. I'll look for that.

I also noticed that same sizes had different numbers of households. I guess the table is more or less a guideline to get the ballpark right.

Ah ok. I just want to be sure my stats are in the right ballpark. Thanks

I have some props for this project that I would like to upload as an asset pack. Four garden walls props. How do I upload all four crp files to steam as one prop pack? I believe that they have to be placed in one folder but then what?  Could someone please be kind enough to outline the process for me. Much appreciated. Mntoes

[AmiPolizeiFunk 446]

It's pretty simple but definitely not intuitive.

 

1.Find one of your props in your asset list and click "Share".

2.On the thumbnail, open the little folder by clicking the folder icon in the bottom-right corner (same way you add a custom PreviewImage.png).

3.next to the default "PreviewImage.png" (which you can change now too, optionally) there will be another folder, open that folder.

4.In there you will see a single asset.crp file that you are about to share. Add the rest of your .crp files to this folder.

5. Share!

[mntoes 271]

Thank you so much. Not intuitive at all! Cheers.

[mntoes 271]

Latest two to add  to the project.   One more in the works.

At long last released:- Art Deco Housing Pack

Art Deco Housing Pack

Made a few minor changes. Hope you like them -  Mntoes

[Turjan 1,048]

Those look really pretty .

This reminds me that I've even been to Brixham a long, long time ago.

[mntoes 271]

Working on some more Art Deco Houses.  House number six:-

Location ,Earl Shilton Near Leicestershire UK.

More work to do completing the texturing (maybe some changes ) but it's coming along. 

 

[barcasam7 185]

This one looks great. One question are you planning on doing any art deco shops? 

[mntoes 271]

Thanks. I have been looking at some hotels to model but not looked at many shops yet.  Having said that I have one art deco shop/restaurant in the pipe line but I'm keeping it secret yet while I learn the art of alpha mapping. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and generally don't show things until nearly ready.

[mntoes 271]

Next up house seven, Goring by sea Worthing.

They will both look a lot better when completed in the Asset editor.

Number eight is to be from Hobart Australia.

As a side project I am working on converting a Police station from Cities in Motion to CS. (Permission from Paradox has been given)

Looking good - just one thing: could you move the building to the left / right on the grid so it will be a wall2wall building? If you don't want to do so it's okay for me too  that's just a quick idea

on the opposite side of the building (left or right) a parking spot or two could be placed  

[mntoes 271]

That's a good thought. We'll see though, it's actually been done by request of bradybrklyn on Steam.

CIM Police station released. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1273762853

 

Continuing now to work on my second Art Deco Pack. Finished modelling  the house from Hobart Australia.

[Badi_Dea 476]

I really like your original buildings, they look great, the art deco modern really works! - but the CIM police station conversion seems to have some scaling issues, looks like it should be 2x the size at least.

[mntoes 271]

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look at that again.

I thought that too while looking at the ingame screenshots compare the door to a cim ingame - the door should be a bit higher than a cim

I think the building would fit the whole footprint of the used tiles on x-axis if scaled right.

Work in progress on my ninth Art deco house. Luton Uk .

 

And a change of direction with another work in progress.

Wooton Basset (Wiltshire) museum. 

 

Both yet to be lotted but almost finished.

[barcasam7 185]

Fantastic work as always!

[mntoes 271]

House no 10 is to be this one; Bexleyheath uk .

Progress so far.

[barcasam7 185]

I love your models, but I also love the fact I didn't realise there were so many art deco buildings in the UK. I thought they would mostly be US; so it's very fascinating for me!

[mntoes 271]

Wow been a while since I posted here.

Coming soon Art Deco Housing Pack 2

I have a quick question before I up-load them to steam.Does anyone know how to get a square picture on the Steam page as apposed to the default rectangular one?
