Sound Walls Development Teaser
Replies
UndercoverNinja12-Thanks. The amount of images I was able to get actually surprised me. I didn't know if I had enough for an entry until I actually took all of them.
malibu_man-Thank you. I'm glad to here that people enjoy the little snippets I add to the images. I'd do more zoomed out images, but I have had CTD issues in the past when trying to get them so I am a little hesitant when it comes to taking them.
Sunr-Thanks. That Brooklyn Village was very troublesome to develop, as all W2W districts can be. I was surprised it actually turned out that well.
Programming note: Entries will now be posted on Wednesdays instead of Mondays. RL has made it highly unlikely that I would be able to get them up on Mondays. Also, The next entry is not likely to be Downtown Bella Vista as I am having to work on creating demand to fill it out.
Development Teaser-Segmented Sound Walls
Since this journal is titled Building Santa Bella, I figured this would be as good a place as any to tease the side projects that come up as a result of creating this journal. Today, I am unveiling the first of these, my Segmented Sound Walls. Developed in large part because there hasn't been a decent set of sound wall developed in years, and no existing set I could find had walls for FA pieces, this set is my personal attempt to fill this void.
These walls are prop based, meaning they are extremely flexible. They are also based on a segmented design seen along I-43 in Milwaukee, WI (and other places I'm certain) which means that rather than trying to conform to the slope, each segment is raised or lowered slightly. The downside of this technique is usually that it results in large gaps under the walls, and while that it is still the case, the sgmented wall approach means that the walls must be placed on some very steep slopes for this to become apparent. Currently, I have 3 out of the 4 props needed for the set as well as all but 3 lots created. I still have to mod all the lots and do some polishing, but I thought they looked fairly presentable.
NOTES:
1) This picture was taken in a plugin free zone. Don't worry it's just faster to work this way.
2) A version of each lot without the base texture will be available.
3) At the moment this set has no extenders for going under other networks. They will be added later.
