Some progress on the T21 files. These networks now blend in with the surroundings perfectly. So far, this requires 582 individual T21 files.

Looking awesome.  Guess I need to step up my game with getting my station finished ;)

Awesome. I hope it was largely copy and paste. 582 files is a lot.

I'm gonna make that five by saying: awesome! Great work Markus.

If the next poster doesn't use the word "awesome", that would be awful.

It looks even more awesome when it's functional (Willy you just had to say something, didn't you?).

582 sounds like a lot, but I have little (actually none) reference to go by. How does the ELRoAVE determine the median T21? Or is it baked in? I think I see two different planter boxes, but I could be wrong.

With this I might actually start using EL-Rail over Road now, too!

Well I have a small station update to add.  My station seems to be coming along nicely and I am finally happy with the exterior since I have changed it to more accurately reflect the stainless over glass look that Morgan-Lake actually has.





I think since the model is offset the lighting is a bit off on the side view.  Or perhaps that's what stainless is supposed to look like under similar lighting conditions.

If I may say so, that definitely looks awesome! It's a great improvement of the overall look. :thumbsup:

No need to hurry though. There's always something left to do. ;)

Well, kind of. Positioning the supports at intersections was a lot of manual work, but concerning the medians and sidewalks, once I found the initial configuration, it was indeed copy and paste. Fortunately, I am able to automate this nowadays.

The number of T21 files soon multiplies, if a uniform distribution of props is intended. Even more so, if one mixes different configurations, for example, the street lights are uniformly placed at every other tile, but you should be able to place the supports independently of this. Maxis did the same thing and has shipped quite a number of T21 files.

I tried to accomplish a look similar to the Maxis Avenues. However, those make use of 35 different median props and quite a lot of T21 variety, so I decided to use a subset. For example, I left out the industrial medians. So, the median props are chosen based on wealth type ($,$$,$$$) and zoning density (none vs. low vs. medium/high). Moreover, there are about one to four different median props that are randomly chosen for each configuration. You can see all three different wealth types in the pictures.

You killed it Bipin.   $%Grinno$%

The glass textures look awesome Droric.  From looking at pictures and satellite imagery, the walls seem a little lighter or more transparent than what you have.  But that's just me.  Depends on the angle of course.

Bipin

Yeah, awesome work there droric!

i think i'm vote on the El-Rail over Avenue. also. Manila and other cities also having El-Rail over Avenue. the El-Rail over RD-4 is not possible in the real world. so. i'm vote on El-Rail over Avenue.

check this photo. this is the Manila MRT Blue Line. created in the middle of a avenue.
this is Meeston. the best SimCity gamer.

I thought both would be done.

Also, I do not think an avenue is under that railroad; maybe a creek. That reminds me of a few parts of Line 2 in Seoul.
