I know its not my usual rail and industry stuff but it feels good to diversify  ;)

Super nice. You're texturing is like a stock market chart...up,up,up. Keep it going! I love your work and want to say thanks. Yes, all your stuff goes in my folder.

Cheers, Tiger

So glad a lot of people liked the scopes :)

This is a Bus and Subway Hub and it fits nicely in a roundabout!

Such thing useful?

I like the hub very much, but can't think of an architectual reason why it should be that high.

Maybe to make it half hight?

Maybe to make it a 360 Degree Cinema? Or with darker windows - a conference center like this one:



The congress center in Frankfurt a.M., Germany.

Well, this could be a very versatile shape of a building with many different functions in different texture variations and different heights/sizes.

Just a thought - but I see much more than ONE building, I see many possible buildings in your picture.

I like the building itself but wouldn't recommend making it a bus hub. Buses stopping on a roundabout would cause mayhem in the RW.

@fantozzi I agree, the building will have many other uses for sure.

@belfastsocrates The bottleneck will not be the roundabout per se (think in SC4 terms). Increasing the capacity of the lot to say 200,000 will make it even suitable for very dense cities. Of course I will test it out with a big city and if someone has a super developed tile, I will gladly give you a copy of the file for testing purpose.
I have seen other SC4 roundabout bus and or subway stops before. I know I have a few in my plugin.

Cheers

Nice idea and nice model!

If I may add something though, I think that it's a bit too tall  ;)

brick_mortimer

Nice model! Doing your magic with glass textures again  :)

But I agree with @fantozzi and @feyss and would make it smaller (both in height and circumference) if it's meant to go on a roundabout.

As a standalone building on a larger lot it's fine the way it is.

Thanks for the observatory and radio telescope btw :thumbsup:

Ok. The bus/subway hub has been relegated to the "maybe later bin"

On to other things!

This factory/packaging plant is still very much WIP (many more details are on the works)  It will also be rail served.....any guesses?

Wow, lots of exciting stuff since I poked around here last! Love the observatory set and those stations are just perfect  &apls  Thanks man!

fantozzi

No doubt - this will be the first choccolate milk plant in the history of sc4.

Simmer2

Can't hide anything can't I  :D

Added some more details.....still WIP Lot more to go!

The industrial "evolution"...one pipe at the time :D

Bending pipes is a very tedious job. No wonder plumbers get paid the big bucks!

yes quite    %wrd
::)  piping in to report...
However, industrial pipeworks is the parlance of pipefitters! ...   :)
while plumbers and plumbing was parlance to residential pipeworks...  ???

just thought to clear that up... learned that growing up as my dad was a master welder/blacksmith/fabricator but NOT a pipefitter...  :P ;)

but that project is a job for pipefitters with plenty of yank...
