[/data][data]Still around.  Dreaming of country lanes these days.





We're now on the far side of 100,000 page views over at 3RR [linkie].  Thanks again so much to all of you 3RR Regulars*.

Later.

[/data][data]Har, har har- my pretties.  Another brief update...

You may recall from several months ago the FAR (Fractional Angle Road) upgrade and FARR (Fractional Angle Railroad) initiatives.  Well, the alpha versions have been received back from Alex (Tarkus), and they work as planned.

FAR 2x2 radius wide curve


FARR wide-radius S-curve


We're also, changing the subject, talking about telephone poles.



Whatever we're up to, it's always great to see you over at 3RR [linkie].  Your comments are welcome here (and greatly appreciated- thanks to all who've done that recently) as well- we'll be looking for FAR/FARR beta testers soon and it's great to have some idea who might be interested.

Later.

[/data][data]Heh!



I'm working at perfecting the FARR textures today.





Clicking on the book will take you to the "Quick & Dirty Guide to 3RR for the Nervous."



...a work in progress...


It'd be great to see you over at 3RR [linkie] today- who knows what might be happening there?

Later.

[/data][data]These are awesome pics, the curves are so smooth and the SAM-street seamed with the trees and the fences looks so scenic and great. Isn't it suprising how common and simple things do look great? Looking forward to more,

[/data][data]David,

Wow, that's a great pic with the road going up the mountain with the switchbacks and all. Definitely looks like a scene out of western Virginia or West Virginia.

So when does the FAR officially come out? Several folks have asked me as I've been using it some in my cj.

Great work with the FAR.

[/data][data]Whoa, a veritable comment explosion!  Thanks to all, and I'll take a few moments in a bit to respond.  I'm just passing by right now to let you know that the wide rail curves and FARR...





...are happening today over at 3RR [linkie].  The beta's just a few more hours of retexturing away.

Later.

Ploppable telephone poles...



It'd be great to see you over at 3RR [linkie], where we've just passed 111,111 page views.  Adding the ones you've given us here, that's about 175K views total in a little under 2-1/2 years.  Thanks, my friends, thanks very much.

* * *

As promised, a few replies.

Alek (aleking)  Hey, Alek- I've said before that whenever you try anything, you invariably set a new standard.  I'll be watching for those country pics in AK's Bizarre (mostly) Urban Menagerie [linkie].

Bruce (Schulmanator)  Why is it that whenever I visit Schulmania [linkie], I think of you with a garden full of kudzu vine [linkie]?  Amazing work there, my friend.  Thanks for the compliment.

Twenty20, hey!  It's always great to see your nic gracing 3RR's pages.  Thank you for commenting.

Jacky (jacqulina), your visits to 3RR over the years always remind me that I don't get over to [url=http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=99884&enterthread=y]Paradise Falls [linkie]
near often enough.  Hiya back, ma'am!

Dan (dfnva), come to thing of it, where did you get that copy of the FAR?  LOL, it's great to see you put it to such good use in Winchester [linkie].  I always appreciate you stopping by.

Patricius Maximus, my friend, thank you for the nice words.  I'll check out what's going on in Franklin County [linkie] later today.

A few more shortly.

Later.

[/data][data]David,

I got the copy of the FAR from you back when you were doing some beta testing a couple of months ago.

Those are nice looking telephone poles, I appreciate the work you do on stuff to make more realistic rural areas with SimCity.

Heh, Dan- just kidding.  Like I said, I can see from Winchester that at least one of our beta testers was chosen very, very wisely.  You might, along that line, keep an eye on your email inbox over the next little bit.

[/data][data]Matt (threestooges) has created a number of interesting variations of his phone poles...



...which we've made ploppable.  More to come on getting these out there to you.

Someone asked, "what's next, ploppable road signs?"




Well, yes, thanks to ST member ja/att.  His Mass Pak Prop Signs are here [linkie].  They are the best-scaled road signs I've seen yet- watch for further developments in this area over at 3RR [linkie].  We'll be seeing you..

[/data][/data][data] Heh!  Speechless?...

So, hey, we're proceeding apace with a fine discussion about MODding ploppable signs.  Our inestimable friend Ryan (burgsabre87/ryanb_SC4) has done a little work and, voilà!



Ploppable stop signs infinitely better than the game's.  But this is 3RR, where, when someone has an idea, ten folks will make suggestions about how to improve on it.

Quote
In that case, check your alpha map.  If it's got a line or area at the top of it that's not completely blacked out, you could get what you're seeing.  The UVW map should be a plane, so nothing appears on the edges of the extrusion.  Also, you don't actually need to extrude the spline here, just make the rectangle and give it a UVW map, or if you're using a box object, give it a height of zero.

Anyway, we're headed here...



...over at 3RR [linkie]  Who knows what's coming up next?
