you need to have a mod to use it, The stages of City Hall was something that was cut/overlooked in the final release.

earliest? playing SimCity2000 on our old Mac Performa 6400.

It has been some time since I have contributed to the exchange, thanks to a hard drive failure that wiped Gmax clean on my computer, and a lack of a backup, however, I do own two powerful 3D modeling programs that can allow me to at least upload .3ds files for others to polish and finalize, Rhino3D. Tis a nice program that I am very familiar with, and is powerful in designing structures and objects with ease. Now, to display what is the first model that will be on the exchange as a .3ds file, this factory looking structure!

changing the design of the tower aspect, just looked like two buildings crammed into one, and this one seems more normal, for the design that it is. Still need a good idea for roof design, don't just want a flat top with roof junk, and it may look better with a few more floors added.

Yikes, guess it is time for a update. Well I go those two 1x1 comm .3ds models up on the exchange, and now my work is focused on this, slightly larger then a 2x2 res $$$ model. got the basics done, just need to add the roof and other structural features. a full view close up on ground

A little militant/dystopic, but it works

Originally posted by: mightygoose well ok you hve some talent but you are leaving a very large amount of work the the guy who wants to put it in game, no mullions, entrance or decent roofjunk, and as you have done it as a mesh it makes it more difficult for average joe to edit. i think you are producing great stuff just try to make it more user friendly quote> hmm.. probably be safe to lower the number of polygons in the mesh then, and then do the details as described. I will work to make it more user friendly.

It has been awile since the last time I have been on this site, with breaking my SC4 disc and accidently uninstalling the game(how stupid of me). I do plan on a return, but that is not the subject of this thread. this is a map of Europe in 1559 that I made from a blank map of europe, it took some work to make and would like to share it at this site with you all. what do you guys think? ~here's an alternate way to get the picture: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/DarkSlavik/1559Alternate.png ~ A.C.

does anyone else here enjoy playing this game? I have a lvl 39 Warlock on the Draka server.

anyone else enjoy redrawing borders on maps? creating alternate histories from them? example. a stalmate in WWII.

here is another map for ya guys, its the world view of the first map shown

Originally posted by: Skink000 As for the maps, I like the idea, but then I am not as easy to offend as some. You may deed to don your armor for this one. If I were to post a map showing Canada as a new extension of the U.S., and the Providence's as new states (or the states as Providences) , I would want a bomb shelter handy. (Just an example folks, lol) O ya, If you use another browser make sure that you are aware of how they handle the securety issue with the .png files.quote> or have all of Oregon Country part of canada, along with alaska. A even bigger Canada. I think Simtropolis is mature enough to handle a little Alternate History maps.

most, seemed like 6 hours before I had to sleep.

I accidentally uninstalled Rush-Hour thinking it would only uninstall the expansion, but it took the rest of SC4 with it, well the problem is disc 1 of my copy of SC4 has a crack in it, so I won't be able to start playing again until I can get a new copy of SC4, man I guess I messed up. oh well.

the reason I was going to uninstall was because I had to many plug-ins and was having some undesierable problems, so I just wanted to reinstall, and get the plug-ins and stuff that I want.

eminate domain takes a hole knew meaning when your home can be bulldozed at will by the mayor, and quickly rezoned for a factory.

my second big project I plan on getting going, a observation tower. all the modeling was done in Rhino3D, and I will be textureing it in gmax. i do not know how well the textures will go, so any advice, good textures that would go good on a observation tower would be appreciated. here is a pic of the model so far, all is needed to be done is to texture it, and get the lighting.

Have you found any problems with transfering models between it and GMax? There are some things Rhino is majorly better at than GMax. It's definetly easier, and you gotta love the 'sweep rails' command. Also be careful when you turn things into mesh in Rhino, as the object may not texture propperly in previews or when BAT exports.quote> I do have trouble with textureing with the models when they are made in Rhino, do you know any solutions to this? because Rhino is great for modeling buildings and other stuff.

there is glass were people can view the city, its just how the tower is designed that you cannot see the area, and yes the dome will be glass.

I am currently having trouble when I import a model from another 3D program and attempt to texture it, when I apply texture to the model surface some of the model surface dissapears from view, and does not show up when rendered, here is what I am talking about
