Realistic light industry

[fukuda 351]

I really love the industry, but I thimk that the original Maxis light industry is really unreal, so I've decided to start a ploppable light industry pack

I'm making a family of props, (thanks to raphael) and when tou plop a lot different buildings should appear

At the moment, I'm doing some little warehouses...

wow theyre nice lookin buildings! this sounds great ive never been a fan of the default maxis industry, it all seems completely unrealistic, this is much more like it good work

Excellent! There's much more to light industry than miles upon miles of belching smokestacks and chemical tanks. Warehousing seems like something almost completely left out.

I especially like the gritty look of these. Looking forward to seeing how these turn out.

Very nice!  I agree... this is something we definitely need more of.  It's something not many people work on either.  I'd say you found a blank spot to fill and it looks like it will be well filled!

those textures are kickass do the buildings have nightlights?

[JayStimson 211]

The buildings look good. Some brick ones like screw machine buildings would be nice too.
Suggestions:
1. Don't make the lots plops. While the jobs part will work okay, they won't generate freight. So, my suggestion ... make them growables. This is why you see very few industrial lots on the STEX that are plops and these are mostly pretty old.
2. While I really like the textures you're using, I'd suggest working on the obvious tiling effect. There was a great tutorial (by Cjah I think) on modifying textures to resolve this issue but unfortuantely the Omnibus isn't re-populated yet.
Hope this helps.
