The little girafe

 :o :o I'm speechless... If we show this pic to Maxis or EA, will they recognise their game...

Amazing work you've done here, you'll make ski resort modular such as airports are now. Great job on these so far, I'm loving the work you're putting in it.

On a side question, where did you get those snow covered trees?

Indeed, it looks nothing like the game we once bought in 2003 or so. Also, makes it hard for Cities XL to sell their Ski Resort GEM. ;)

WoW it's great. I never saw something like this before  &apls

You should make this into a Winter Mountain Project or something...those wintered trees look great and the skiers look awsome as well

I have said it in other ways, but I'll say it here too, these are amazing pieces. This will be an excellent addition to the game when they are released.

Hello Girafe

I've spent the past two evenings making (trying to perfect) trees myself. Do you have MAX or gmax? I'm using gmax.

I like the base of the truck of the tall green tree.

to jmyers2043 it's made with 3ds and export for gmax and finitions are made with gmax   ;)

Wonderfull trees Girafe. &apls
Excellent work.

   Definately a nice seasonal touch. :) Very Lovely...

Hello , my beloved giraffe ...  ;D

Have seen the comparison of your tree with Simfox's ones (at TSC) and have to say that they - if you decide to make some others - will be the finest ones ever released . :thumbsup: &apls &apls &apls

Salut Girafe, je te répond ici concernant ta question dans ma bat thread. j'utilise 3dsmax7 pour le moment, je passerai à 3dsmax 2009 Design quand MentalRay sera compatible dans cette version.
But all in all I have downloaded your last fir trees in toutsimcity, and they look magnificent.  :thumbsup:

best regards!

DEL!

Thanks for you comment and your answer

I don't understand why 3dsmax 2009 and 2010 don't work with bat4max because I use 3dsmax2010 with it without problem  ()what()  (Anyway Simfox tells me he has developped bat4max with new mental ray and he broadcast in the next weeks  :)  )   

Hi,

Your pines are wonderful  &apls

They fit very good to my mountain region. But I have some remarks: Would it be possibe to have them seasonal for plopping? It would be nice to see them getting snowed in winter and green from spring to fall.
And I noticed that the trees have a plop cost of 1$ - despite You wrote in the french readme they don't cost anything. This may to be changed.But it's only a minuscule detail.
Glad to see more beautiful trees from You

Thanks knapp yes there is little bug and I don't notice this one it's for that there is only a french version for time.

For a seasonal plop in mayor mod it's today impossible I have make research but don't find everything  &mmm
if someone discover it would change lot of things  ::)

Wonderful trees, I'm happy they can be downloaded, but unfortunately, I haven't any mountains in my regions ()sad() But I'm sure they'll serve to others :)

ok, that's what I expected.  &cry2 But as the models exist, it would be possible to make seasonal props: winter and summer. I permitted to try out yesterday and it looks nice. But, for sure, these are Yours and I won't publish them. It was only a test if I could do something seasonal.
Btw: The memebers of simforum also like the pines very much. One posted some winter pics - it's awesome!  :thumbsup:

It's just fantastic.

Ehhh, me too! I love it. I can't wait to build a ski-field in my region now... Actually I have a little idea in my head...

Also, I want to ask you: are the skiers made as Mayor Mode Ploppables? I think they are, but if not, perhaps thats a good way to go.

Anyway, your BATs are beautiful. You are amazing!

Ah yeah, you really reproduced Courchevel! &apls &apls

Thank you  &apls &apls

Fantastic work. &apls Will you upload the ski lift too?

hi

Yes, I will upload all this work but for time there is lot difficulties and I am pessimist about a upload soon.

For time we try to finish the chair lift because it's "the most simple". Another thing, before uploading it would be better to broadcast skiers and snowboarders but there is always problems of developement  &mmm

so no very good news   &sly

Wonderful chalet, and I love those trees. But the first is...a bit too squarred $%Grinno$%

Guillaume :thumbsup:

 :o
What is it used as we speak on msn all day if you're hiding things like that. I think you should mount the foliage of 2 trees. I need the 3ds, to the first tree  &apls

Lovely chalet !

The natural tree is truly excellent work, very realistic, bravo!

The clipped tree is not square enough though--Parisian trees are perfect rectangles on sticks! Perhaps it would help to model another version with two or three trees together, perhaps one of them with a bit of a hole in the sides, to give variety when they are plopped together in long allées.

The chalet is very handsome, but the wood texture is very dark maroon and too saturated; lightening it would help to see the details of the structure and not make such a deep contrast with the snow.

Always wonderful things to see here! &apls &apls &apls

About the squared tree ... you have to keep in mind that these trees generally offer a continuous line of foliage ... if they are squared , that means that you have no choice about a precise distance between them to plop them . ::)
That's not a problem for the T.W. if I give you that precise distance , but I think you should consider a larger audience for them and so you should test a rectangular version which would allow various intervals ...

About variety , I think that 3 slightly different models , mainly about trunks ( having both 2 possible orientations ) would be enough ...

That's not the ones of Champs-Elysées , but that's another inspriring picture :

• Telephones poles are from me of course Nardo ^^ not T21 for one reason the cables follow the slope and to allow this, I must cut the cable in maybe 100 parts for one tile so it's impossible for me to mod it with T21 but it's working.   :)

Girafe

Nice trees you've got here &apls

I was looking through the pages of this thread and thought of few advises to make trees look better.

I see in the process you've moved to 3ds max. I also see that you Bat4Max isn't set quite right. Things are too dark. There is a bug in some version of Max (or Max script) the program doesn't pick up settings made for Gamma correction made by script. They are there, if you open Gamma and LUT tab in Preferences (found in Customize menu) you'll see that everything is right, so you don't need (if you use Max 2010) to alter anything just click on OK and than you should see the difference.

As I've said I thought of few advises... Well some of them were partially realized simply by virtue of switching to bat4Max. yet - those (although to the good) are automatic changes. Project like a tree requires some custom ones. The basic problem with you GMAX exports were (well one that could have been fixed in GMAX) that you've rendered trees against black background. Despite of disabled antialiasing some of that black still creeps in. So foliage had that nasty black outline. Bat4max sets neutral grey as a background color, It it far better than black, still not optimal... With it in same instance you may even have light outline... So the best solution would be to set the background color to about darkest color found in the foliage itself. This way it will blend seamlessly.

Another thing is materials. For foliage to look good you can't simply put some color (although I must commend you on the choice you have made - it looks both natural and in line with the game). It will look flat.
First of all I would strongly suggest to use ONLY Arch&Design materials for anything you do in Max. There are some other specialized and good materials, but you'll know when you'll need them. For anything else just use Arch&Design. And Don't use Standard - those are no good really for anything.
Once you select you Arch&Design you should give your leafs some reflections - everything in the world has some. To make it manageable set it to Highlight and FG only and play with Strength (between 0,2 and 0,6) and Glossiness (,25 - ,5). BDRF or the dependence of view angle that is default at the Arch&Design should be fine for leafs.

You could also turn on Ambient Occlusion. it will help definitions.
Also you may adjust how FG reacts with leafs. Set it (in Object Properties Mental Ray Tab) to return Black. This will  make render much faster and, again give you better definition in the foliage.

In effect those settings - reflectivity of the material, and setting AO and FG will increase contrast and give foliage more 3d look. And you'll need quite a bit more of a contrast once you set you gamma right.

Thanks for going there Simfox and for your comment and your pieces of advice.

At first I don't know exactly what happened with my max and BAT4max but I surely have problems with the both.

I work in 3dsmax2010 in french version so each time I open a model I must to correct settings in going to Gamma and LUT tab in Preferences (found in Customize menu) and click OK.

For time I discover 3dsmax and have not lot of time to try every possibility but I have to do  ::)

For the background, if I have well understood I must to pick the darkest color of foliage and to put it as background color but in 3dsmax or in gmax or both ?

Which concerns materials I must to switch to Arch and design materials but after for the foliage do you have pieces of advice or more specificities ?

At the end, what lights do you recommand ?
After I will try all your recommandations and  see what the best things I will put progress if there is in this topic and ask you questions if I need.

In all cases thank you so much for your comment  :)

Yep you have understood me right. But you should do it AFTER you settle you gamma issue. As for what program you should do it - only one from which you'll be doing final export. To put in in another way if you use Max you need only be concerned with Max. GMAX in that bind only create the shell of the file. The actual images in it will be from MAX.

all.

At the end, what lights do you recommand ?

It depends a bit what exactly for. Generally if your computer is powerfull enough I would go for Photometric ones - you'll never get same near perfect blending of multiple lights with standard ones. But Photometrics may take a bit longer to render. However in Max2010 there are ways to shorten the process - now you can manually set far attenuation - the farthes limt you light will affect. This way by sacrificing imperceivable realism and accuracy you can save toms of render time.

After I will try all your recommandations and  see what the best things I will put progress if there is in this topic and ask you questions if I need.

feel frree! You may also place all your questions here - Bat4Max support thread on Simtropolis. You see I'm mostly grazing there. I've found this thread purely by accident. But I must say I'm very pleased with what I see here!

ps : why did you choice to export your trees in SD ?

Because they will look better this way. HD is a tricky thing... you see you don't really get something that is ultimately better with it. Also the Name is very misleading. I've used it simply because by the time I got to the project and made scripts for export of BATs it has already stuck. The correct term would have been Zoom6 export.
Difference between HD and SD in essence which zoom it prioritize 5 or 6. The model can have only 5 authentic views. But in the game there are 6. So one of the zooms must be derived from another.
In SD export Zoom5 view in game is per pixel accurate and Zoom6 is produced by blowing Zoom5 2x.
In HD export Zoom6 view in game is per pixel accurate and Zoom5 is produced by reducing Zoom6 2x.
Each of those lead to reduction of quality. Each type of scaling has it's own disadvantages (they are different from each other). When you decide on possibility of HD output you should carefully consider usefulness of it. What zoom will your output me more looked at Zoom6 or Zoom5. Also files will be larger with HD....

After considering all this I, personally, have decided that SD is more appropriate for trees. But this, to a degree, is still a point of opinion...

Do you think we can find someone who can turn that lovely Prop into an automata? That would be the dot on the "i"!!!

Reply : I think that the model is so so complex and for this reason too difficult to mod, even if my knowledge in modding automata is not so high.

However I was interesting by modding high developed automatas and I checked last train's engine of SFBT which are the most developed automatas I have ever seen. In this sens maybe there is a possibility but I don't believe it.

According me, Swamper would be the person who is the more able to do this because as we said me he did the model of SFBT train's engine.

Sorry to not able to mod this sweaty car   ;)

Cedric.

Gamma is not really optional. It is a basis of getting more or less accurate and predictable colors and brightness levels, not something you like or not. By going "oh I like this more" you simply leaving yourself blind in a preview.
Background color would be darker if you select Mr Physical Sky map as you environmental background (and click on Day once more). But beware this may affect your foliage material in quite a radical manner depending on the level of reflectivity (even if it is just FG one) you've set.

All-in-all I think foliage as is now looks pretty good. But, again, you have to set gamma, in order to see how it will be in game! And if it is not to you liking adjust your mats till they will return to the point you like.
It could be good idea when exporting individual trees to leave environment to flat color and select one to be some of the darkest (but not black) shades found in your foliage. This way you'll minimize visibility of fringing, cause even if Max is set not to AA against background some of it will be done anyway. So make sure the it (background) blends as much as possible with darker shades. Brighter fringes around darker areas are much more noticeable than darker fringes around lighter ones. That's just how human sight works.

PS.
alpha doesn't mix too well with FG -you'll get very long render times. Actually alpha transparency don't work well with ANY of the modern indirect(global) illumination systems. It is real shame that at Onyx Tree they didn't manage to recreated for newest version of treeStorm system of replacing leaves with custom geometry - it is a MAJOR failure, actually almost completely destroying any advantage Onyx Garden ever had over other plan generators. All modern renderers can zip through millions of polygons with great speed but come to a crawl with alpha transparencies -which are attavism of times back 50-10 years.

On the other hand, that (along with setting materials) is exactly your input into the process that will allow you to cll this tree yours and not Onyx garden work.


rightclick some object in your scene and you should have Object Properties in a pop-up menu

PS I'd say trees look very good they are right now. Just sort out the whole gamma stuff so as not to get any nasty surprises.
Also you may consider to make some slight variances in material (defuse color, reflectivity/specularity) say 3-4 versions so you'll create prop family and when people will plop many of those trees it wouldn't look too monotonous

Your Deuche is amazing, so many variations are possibles !!!

I remember the luxury Charlestone's !

Simfox: thank you so much for your pieces of advice concerning 3dsmax, its options and the introduction about materials, it was very helpfull.  &apls

It's the last picture of these mapples, indeed I think I have done my best and can't upgrate this mapples. There are 3 versions with different forms, highs (between 18 and 23 m) and a tiny difference which concerns the green colors.
I have decided to reduce the reflexivity due simply to the fact that mapple's leaves reflect not a lot. In another part models are a little bit darker but it's more realistic.

What's next, I will try to develop forest mayor plop lots with different trees and forest items I think as C.P. did.
But at first I will work again on pines already released in the LEX to apply what I learned from Simfox

There is little news, I work on forest mayor plop and I started to rework the subalpin mod of C.P.
There are only the two first stage ; the last 3 stages are much difficult to render due to their complexity - 3dsmax is not able to render them in HD for time  &Thk/(

There are still little bugs with darkness but I didn't success to remove them for time. Pines are always a little bit dark, it's given more contrast but maybe it's to dark  &Thk/(.

Concerning the flora, it's subalpin pines, particulary located in North America, don't exist in Europe as I know.
The 3 last stages will be with higher pines.

Maybe add some dead pines too.
It's summer version but the snow version will come for sure  ;)

More forest mods will come too, with these times more European pines  :P

OK, I'm not gonna jump into this traditional praises singing choir, rather point some problems, I believe it is far more productive.

I'll start with a picture:

what was a very good realistic green for foliage (on the right) Had somehow turned into the same fake plastic/chemical color that most of the custom trees in SC4 share. It is neitehr realistic no good looking. Also all the shadow detail is gone. As a result the tree from Max looks no better than it would in GMAX. Real shame.

May I ask if you have exported those in HD?

Same goes for Pines. Yes they are darker than your normal deciduous trees, but what you have there not a "darker". The real issue, again that most unnatural looking hue and, traditionally saturation levels... From what I see I sort may conclude that you haven't really set your max right that's why you have those great looking preview renders and these exports. And I'm sorry that nobody seem to notice it. What is it? Trying to be polite?

I'm against HD trees - in my mind they are nothing but an misguided showing off. Trees, I believe would be more seen/looked at Zoom5 than Zoom6 so it(zoom5 and SD9 should be given priority. However for the sake of truth I also have to counter the rumors that "that people with low computers would have problems with big forests of HD pines". There is no any technical rational behind it. And generic "low computers" should be reason enough to suspect it. General rule of thumb don't take as given warning of person who can't explain them in detail. Those are likely be superstitious panicking.


I would urge you again take look at your settings (same problem with gamma are also evident on your cars - you have way to bright and way to dark areas on them), as well as experiment more with materials. If you don't do it you'll loose the biggest presentational advantage Max offer over GMAX.

Simfox: corrections made
all trees are exported in HD
In the pictures with mapples, I changed the materials it's for this reason they are not similar
Indeed trees in sc4 are very green and maybe unrealistic but I think that the mapple on the right is maybe a little too bright, anyway I will rework these trees with corrected gamma and I think it will change lot of things

I had problems with Gamma, it's corrected now. I put a picture with the correct gamma, I will work again on mapples with the new settings but later.

Just beautiful, Girafe! :thumbsup: I've never built a ski resort in a city before, but I can see how this would be welcome in any ski resort that I build.  It looks like it's HD.  Is it?

Happy birthday!

That's really beautiful. You've done a brilliant job with the snow &apls

To Metarvo, yes it's HD (there is lot of debate with pro and cons of utility of HD and for time I decided to continue to release my stuff with HD)

The conception of the cable car is finished I just need to make little corrections, I will post last picture at the end of the week   ;)

It has been one moment since I had seen your cable railway. It is completed.

Thank you my guinea fowl and Air6  ;)

After 1 year and half, the first piece of ski lifts is going to the LEX  ::)
I hope to see lot of stuffs about you, I miss you  &mmm

so I am continuing to bat alone. I present you a special ski lift. It's developped by the compagny Doppelmayr and its name is Combi (Telemix for the compagny Poma/leitner).

Thus it's a mix of cablecar (8 sits) and chairlift (6 sits). For time I made only the chairs. It's not finished and there is still some work  ::)

it's perfect, thank you so much for this upload, but i have two questions:

1. how do i put the cables? they don't appear to me
2. is there a way to do it non-seasonal?

thank you

Amazing work Girafe your ski lifts remind me so much of my holidays :) I'll have to make my own resort with your BATs. Though ive never seen a chair lift and gondola combined, what resort is that in in real life?

Any chance of a cable car (Téléphérique) in the future? would be great for crossing the valleys :)

For example this is Téléphérique Alpette-Rousses in Alpe d'huez

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2F11ag0n7.jpg&hash=9b8a0c71fa0da5a9a504250f5badb830df2ff508)

Keep up the good work.



 

Hello Supertinmo

Of course it exists. It's a ski lift developped 10 years ago. It's called Télémix for the brand Pomagalski and Combi for Doppelmayr.

I agree it's a little bit strange. It's a mix between chairs and cabines. In reality there is something like 1 gondola for 5 chairs. In mine there is 1 gondola for 3 chairs.
Why these kind of ski lift. It's cheaper, indeed one recent gondola is very expansive (like 10.000€ as I have seen for the most complex). Moreover chairs are faster at the start, you don't need to take shoes off. However, family and children prefer gondola, more safety and easier to use.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.remontees-mecaniques.net%2Fbdd%2Fcache%2Freportages%2F165%2Fphotos%2F51__00039.jpg&hash=556b9283bbdf1ad60b8ff5e8cc9b73d1a935e456) 

After of course there is a chance for a telepherique in the future but it's not the next ski lift, next one will be a surprise however it's the most complex ski lift in the world and it will be a challenge for me due to the complexity of the BAT.

Cables appear only in zooms 5 and 6 if I well remember, they are too small to be visible in others zooms.

In order to have no season, the best way is to transform the rkt4 (of seasonal props) by a rkt1 with the 3 last series of numbers  ;)

Ahh cool that is a pretty clever idea combining the two :) I remember when i first starting skiing and snowboarding the chair lifts were scary as anything  ;D

I look forward to seeing your future work. :)

Work advances, I finished the modding with this Combi, certainly the most complex I have done  :-[

Anyway result is there, perfect junction with all seasons and all seasonal items  ::)

Thank you or your comments  ;)

This skilift was built in 2002, next year another one is planned for the "Solaise Area"

As you have seen there is some difficulties to BAT this one, because it is half-buried and ramps change a little bit.

To Rayden: good choice to go in Val d'Isère  :), your photo is a private one ? because I have lot of difficulties to find pictures on google etc and I have never seen this one. If it's a private and you have anothers don't hesitate to send me   :)

I have hundreds of photos from my snowtrips. If you have facebook, you can always have a look at my photos here (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=100000407523671&v=photos).

You can also ask for friend invitation. I'll accept.

PS - I also have others that are not there and the original ones in bigger format. Just let me know which ones you want or what kind of photos you are looking for. Next December I'm off to Val Thorens for 5 days, if you wish some particular photos, let me know.

Thanks for all comments

Progress on 3S:

pictures in game tomorrow I hope  :)

It stays little things to do, but it's near of the last version however I am not satisfied with the roof which is too flat ; don't know how to go with it  ()what()

I don't think the roof is that flat, at least comparing to this photo.

I'm off to Val Thorens next December and to Deux Alps in January. Would you like me to take some more specific building photos?

Thanks for comments.

I agree with you about the roof and don't know how to make lauzes with bump or to model them so for time no news at all.
Yep Silvio you 're absolutely right, but it's simply due to the fact that I rescaled the pictures :

Correct picture, and I think there is no problems with the scale.

Concerning you're travel in french ski resorts it's a good choice. Val Thorens is one of best ski resorts which concerns the ski or snow, and 2 Alpes is well known too for its glacier and one of the last ski resorts in France where you could ski in summer, so in a very high altitude.  ;)

If I plan something about these both ski resorts I will tell you, thanks.  :)

Looks GREAT. Just one thing that jumps out...

On the entrance side (third picture) in I would say there is a shadow missing under the roof !?!

It looks like the roof stops at the wall, the roof should have an "overhang", go a bit further than the walls.

Excellent, as always &apls

This is stunning Girafe, is this turning Simcity to Real Life? Amazing...
:thumbsup:

(Btw, may I know what kind of trees is shown in the pics? I find them match with the chalet very well actually.)

All your HD bats always remind me about how we could have a brand new city building game without being in full 3d view mode yet have a fantastic looking game if everything was done in high quality. Nice Work on these new bats.

QuoteLast few weeks a "genius" of reader

~More like a borderline plagiarizer (I'll say that first).  The credit mostly goes to Dedgren for figuring this stuff out.

Glad I could help.  And they look great btw.  The shadows in the picture had me worried at first, but this is something that effects all flora on slopes.  On flat land they are just right. :)

The birches look good too.  Yep, it's about to be a flora dream over here.

For the weather:

As far as I know these seasonal flora can only change on the fist of the month, so we can't have one day of rain.  They aught to work as timed props though.  I believe there is one like this already out there, but I think it modded the clouds to look like rain...?

The idea is great though, and you shouldn't have to stare at tress all of the time.  Best of luck.

Please, LowKee and Girafe-

The credit is entirely well deserved by you two, and I appreciate the mention.  I simply assembled something that other folks had figured out.  You guys are creating incredible content- I was just a tinkerer.

These trees (and other stuff that I am sure is coming) will be an incredible addition to the game. K-points all around.

Glad to see you here my rabbit  :P

Very quickly before going to work.

I made the 5 stages of mapples and mix them with pines like we can see in Canada.

However I haven't e real point of view about them above all concerning the "green" color which is much brighter than the pines but it's very different trees so I am asking you what do you think about this :

Max height about 25m (didn't want to go more maybe to just  &Thk/()
I reserved the greener textures for oaks and don't forget the birches but seems it wil be a nightmare with them due to their tiny leaves which don't fit well in the game  %wrd

I searched more pictures and it seems to be correct, Maybe Canadian people could provide pictures of the splendid autumn in their country.

I though about colors like this for the autumn season:

Stay one question about winter: shoud I do snowy mapples or only "dead trees without snow".
According to Lowkee we can only mod have 3 seasons (I skip spring season) so it's difficult to integrate both version.

truly lush flora.

Nice work there.

The heights look good to me.  My region is comparable with 3RR, and that is pretty much what a pine/maple forest looks like.  As long as there are pine models that are shorter and models that are taller then I am okay :).  The colors are good too.  Perhaps in real life they are closer together, but in-game I think it works.

If it is not too much to ask I would ask for two (or three) fall colors (orange, red, yellow).  I don't know how much work something like that would require.

I think bare trees are better than trees that have snow on them.  Yes, it does happen that snow is on a bare tree, but most of the time it melts off pretty quick.

As far as birches go.  No worries.  If a tree has a white trunk then that is close enough for me  ;)

For me it's quite special, don't use to use colors like these one for my trees but why not  &Thk/(

Wow.   :thumbsup:

Looks good, but maybe a little to red. They should be a bit more orange and yellow.

if you want to go that red you need to desaturate and add more brown. the lighter ones look great though.

Thanks mates  ;)

I follow you and try some other colors.

At first, I worked again on the summer version, less saturate (brighter green). I am satisfied with it, what do you think ? there are 3 different greens for more diversity but maybe you don't see it at first glance (I want to add more diversity with other packs, for time I am only with one species so I can't have big differences between my greens).

Now, which concerns the autumn variations, it's a little bit more complex (I try to dessaturate every color, red one, at first). I have no idea about this, so I am referring to you  ()stsfd()
I have a system of stages, so if you don't like the color at stage 3 (red one for example) you can continue to stage 4 & 5. Thus I tried to have the best colors at these last 2 stages.

Well for european standards these colours look probably realistic, but here in North-America we have more intenser colours, nothing compared to these more faded ones. I included a picture that I took earlier in my backyard this October, mostly Maple (Ahorn), Aspen (Pappel) and Walnut (Walnuss).
This year was very intense in colours, something that happens every 3 to 5 years. The more you're in the mountains, the intenser the colours also, maybe something to do with colder temps.
These picture were not modified.

Anyways, those models are one of the best I have seen sofar and you can be sure that I will use them if or when they are available. You bet! Great work. I love that Spruce (last pic) so much.

Yeah, this is true for most of the time. I was hoping for some more intense colors this year, but I suppose it didn't get cold enough during the nights, and when temperatures finally dropped in late october/early november, most of the foliage fell down already, or was blown away by the wind. The last time we had a really wonderful "indian summer" was in 2007, when the trees were literally burning. I've posted a few pictures last year in this thread: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=9108.msg281112#msg281112

Thanks every one for your replies very well appreciated  :)

mrbisonm: I agree with you and at first my colors were intenser however it looks strange in the game and I think brighter colors fit better. Moreover as I understood, the intense colors come from the temperature which "burns" the leaves . So it's normal that leaves in Canada are intenser than in Europe.  ;)

Andreas: thanks for the pictures which are really good  &apls

Which concerns the trees, Lowkee is modding them but it seems to be more complex than we though. Indeed we are asking us about the good time of the seasons and moreover we have shadow issues. I trust Lowkee and hope solutions will be found quickly for a soon release  ::)

Nice, Girafe! This could be used for signage mods. However, I may have to make some slight changes myseld to make them look Dutch or something. But that's just a matter of taste  ;)

Your trees, rocks, and signs are all looking great! The glare option on the signs looks cool but maybe a little bright? And they're small enough it wouldn't really matter for me they're not in Finnish or English (French is my 3rd language anyway ;) ). I especially look forward to using those trees! And the centenaries look spectacular  &apls  Are those T-21'd or how do they work? I'm sure there's a huge demand for those....

hey, nice vwork, and the best, most european sings are the same everywhere in europe

How have we been able to play without that would remain a mystery ()what().

Thank you Girafe for thinking about it and taking the time to make it soo well (HD).

After the trains (do i need to say something about them ? your catenaries are gonna be a must have), the trees (no comment  :o), the mountain pack ( :thumbsup:), what else ??????

&hlp

Une_ame, where you said the cantenarys...

Girafe, one question: could you may make them in 2 different highs? one time for these catenary-mod, and a second time for the SFBT-pylon high, hope you understand.

Great work with those signs! I'd like to point that in some countries (including Bulgaria) all triangle signs have white background, and some of yours have a yellow one ;) This isn't a big problem though...

Really great work on those signs! Only things that usually change between different european countries signs are colors, so we basically need only one set, unless of course people get demanding and want signs that are exactly like those in their countries. :)

The yellows backgrounded signs are temporary signs used during roadworks. The yellow color is also used for the lign on the road itself during roadworks instead of white ligns.

It's pretty common in France.

As far as I can recall, the triangle hazard signs with the yellow background are used in the case of roadworks (correct me if I'm wrong here)

And to Girafe I'd like to say: Great work, I can't wait to use these in my cities. These will add another layer of realism

Hi Jean-Paul .... Euh ... Jean-Pierre ... Euh ... Jean-Marie ... Euh ... Antoine ! ( My payback for « Guinea fowl »   :P  )




Of course have seen your latest works about roadsigns ( and trees ) , how can you think  I could miss that !?!  $%Grinno$%

Hehe my another guinea fowl
I always posted about the landscapes and I though about you with the french road signs, I made few props more about village's entry/exit signs and few others that you maybe recognize.

I admit that I am a little bit fed up with this pack 130 props is really long to do but I have to do it and I am sure you will use it (my cars look good finally).


I made a mistake in my pack, I made 129 signs and have the slot 102 free, I let you choise this last sign prop  ;D let me know what you want  :thumbsup:

Not only I want all these babies , but I intended to request you a 45° version of them all as well ... sorry to be so hard to please , we're always more demanding with the most talented people . ;D


About slot 102 , I would suggest you "Point de Vue" or "Belvedère" , could be useful for mountaneous landscapes ...

If you still have slots free, why not add some extra speed limit signs? I know, you won't see any 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 or 120 km/h signs in France, but in the rest of Europe they are more common. In fact, in the Netherlands we commonly use 30, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100 km/h speed limits. So hereby I request for more speedlimit signs. Oh, and also "End of speed limit" signs, like this:

Nardo69: thanks, you are I think the first person who trust my first pines even if their quality was not exceptional, hope the new ones will get all your attention in your MD  :)

mrtnrln: thanks your the suggestion, I choiced this one  :thumbsup:



Concerning the packs, the Girafe learned how to do readme and .exe with BSC references, thanks to Barbyw and Carl for their help.

French Road Signs is close to be released.

The 2 pines' packs will follow, even if we are speaking at the BSC how to deal with a file "flora tuning parameters"

After these maples pack and birches pack will follow. I didn't advance on new flora packs. It's long and I wanted to do other things.
But finally there will surely be Oaks, Poplars, larches...


As said I go to other horizons or came back to the sources, I like architecture and someone especially D. Libeskind. He made a project for Paris which I really love however he was not successful with his design.

Signal tower, Daniel Libeskind - Paris in cooperation with Ellyps Group

Batting is almost done on the tower, I need to do the roofs and finalize the plaza. However I really have some difficulties with materials.
Indeed all work I have done before didn't requiere some materials knowledge concerning glass effects.
So I began to learn and thanks to Cockatoo who gave me some ways.

I will explain my material in order to have your recommandations and help.

I work with 3dsmax 2010, BAT4MAX 5.

Scene maps:
- sky option from Simfox
- I put a ground plane that I have hidden to the camera, it's a plan of 1,5 km by 1,5km with a simple material that I took on google earth where the tower would be and I dessaturate and decrease levels of this map to have someting brighter and whiter.

Glass material:

- as I really didn't know how to begin, I get a simple glass material from an available librairy in the web and started to play with different options.

The others material are more simple like aluminium and marble

I need to check how I can do less complex flora, my old system is too heavy for the scene, to complex, system of particles described by Simfox looks promising, but I need time to test it.

As said before there is lot of things to do and to think, comments are welcome, don't forget that this tower will be not built, only few renders are availbale on the web, so the job is more complex  ()stsfd()

What a surprise ... speak about a « Grand écart »  from trees to skycrapers ! ;D  It reminds me Simfox's work ...

I'm not particularly  fan of skycrapers ( if you didn't notice it ) but I'm zoning out ( Rester scotché ? ) in front of your model ... I've seen several interesting projects for La Défense ( I dislike truly a few of them nevertheless ) and , once more , I think that Paris , mainly due to its most huge urban perspective of the world is offering one of the most striking and harmonious skyline for us , little ants on the ground .

Along  with your trees projects , 2011 looks as if it's going to be more exciting than expected .  :thumbsup:

Happy new year , Antoine , I hope for you ( and so for us ) that many of your desires will become SC4 realities .

Hello Antoine ,

I'm coming back to your thread to feed my addiction for your trees !!! ;D

Well , I read back comments about your birch trees ( here & at TSC ) and didn't find any bad or even lukewarm criticisms about them ( like you told me by PM ) and I don't have any either . Birch trees , like any species , have so many sub-species & varieties ( that's not the same thing ) that we could discuss endlessly about colors ranges of their trunks or leaves ... you have been absolutely successful to catch the essence of birch trees , so they're perfect . :thumbsup:

About autumn ... the same way we could discuss endlessly , adding to the sub-species & varieties parameters , their localization on Earth and specific weather conditions that year , or last year or ten years ago or like the grand-mother of my grand-mother told her ...  $%Grinno$% the only thing I would suggest you is to add with them a touch of yellow to match your Maples ...  ::)


About sweet chestnuts I have requested for Corsica ...  ;D Yes I remember how you have had difficulties with horse chestnuts , personally I found them lovely and convincing :

But at the same time , don't you like to surpass yourself everytime ? And , let me add a quite sadistic challenge ; more than any season I'll be particularly attentive to spring and their spectacular blossom ...  ;D something like that :

Cédric.

I give you news, indeed the Girafe is very busy in its professionnal life and all was not working as I hoped   :(

Thanks to all for enthusiastic comments. The tower is far from the end. Last days I tried lot of parameters concerning the glass, and the problem is that I wasn't success to find something better than I showed you. Moreover I lost the material of the last preview so for time my aim is to recover something really near to what I showed you.

Mr Y: this building didn't win the competition for the slot in La Défense, so it went to abyssus...

_________________________________________________

Then I switched to 3dsmax 2011 x64, it's a calamity  &mmm (slow and minor bugs everywhere...) it doesn't help too to advance.


I wanted to finish the birches, so it's the autumn color, what do you thing? it is an unique color (birches are less colorful in autumn than maples).

As my Guinea fowl asked me, I worked again on chestnuts, a complex tree. I tried long time ago but was not successful with it. Second try now.

In this picture, you have the maples, Simfox's tree (don't remember the species) and 2 chestnuts a little bit different which one do you prefer?
One is brighter so fit better with maples at farest zooms but maybe it's less realistic. The second is darker and fits better with Simfox's tree but maybe too much at my taste (aim is too create a chestnut not to have same tree than Simfox).

Moreover I am asking about making stages system for chestnuts. Indeed these trees are often alone and they have a huge density of foliage. So I think to create a stage 5 with 4 chestnuts is useful. However I will do a second one higher and less spread than this one. A true chestnut that we all had in our School courtyard  ::)

Wow, just phenomenal work with the trees!  &apls &apls  I don't even know where to start, it all looks amazing!

The water looks great as well. I can't wait to have a new photorealistic option for plopping. The textures seem a little gray to me, but that's just a matter of personal preference. The color isn't too far from the cal-canals though which might be handy. We have these beautifully dark blue lakes up here (when the snow isn't around at least) that would be amazing to see in simcity....

Quite the jump from trees to that tower! It's looking amazing though  :thumbsup:

Great work with the trees. I like the water color. &apls

Good morning,

For the rivers:

One thing to be careful of is the height of the LODs.  If you see my post about Lilith's pond (which I fear I am asking way too much work for her) you will see the issue.  The LOD must be below .3 meters for shadows to appear (perhaps you are just making textures though...).  That being said, we know that Jeronij's plopable water is above this mark.  The reasons this works is because the model is transparent, and we are actually seeing the shadow on the ground.  I will have to figure out how to make transparent items on the BAT before I can try this out.

You will just have a lot more freedom with placement if they are MM flora, but I think the quality of your textures may override that.

For your trees:

Bap started a post (Link (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=12332.0)) that raised a lot of possibilities for me.  The point of this thread is that the FSH files are totally editable, so a fair amount of post-processing can be done.  I post this image as a quick example, and don't mean to offend ::)

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg210.imageshack.us%2Fimg210%2F861%2Fsorryx.jpg&hash=15136c1a63c8528247f32e26c6b822614ec69a5d)

Basically, the FSH is exported, edited in an image editing program (I use GIMP), and then re-imported.

The reason I bring this up is that the color you export from BAT is not necessarily the color the model has to be.  Now, I don't know what is easier:  Changing the color in BAT and exporting, or editing 20 FSH.  It may be a quick way to test what a color will look like in-game.  You could also change certain pixels that you find irritating.  Just ideas.

Although I think the birches should be yellow, you don't need to get it perfect for me because I can change them as I see fit.

Be Well

For those interested, here is the link to an old tutorial (in French) on how to reFiSHing.

Carl, replace FSH are often longer than the new export. In addition we must be careful with LODs

« Peigner la girafe » means to « To comb a giraffe » which is a french expression for « wasting his/her time » . You certainly don't waste your , Antoine , as everything here looks perfect ... maybe because you take care to not show us your horrors !?!  :D

I'm already in love with these Larch trees , Brian's ones just look like prehistoric from now ... I'm impatient to see how you'll deal with autumn , when these deciduous conifers are the most spectacular ... that's one of my favorite trees , I do intend to use them massively . I would request you to make a less straight ( more twisted ) one , that's really something missing too ...  ::)

Awesome indeed! &apls I have always liked that soviet stuff, even though the country itself had many problems.

Like Vladimir Putin once said, "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain."

very nice, but it is perhaps a little too Glossy  ;D

Gotta hand it to you with all the work you have done so far.Your stuff just might make a lot of the older sets almost obsolete for me to use  :thumbsup: . Favorite of all the flora I have seen is the Willows (no one has mad them look so good in my opinion). I love the seasonal field shots,I hope you make some cotton tail fields as well cuz they would go nicely with them. Top notch work so far good to see the project coming along nicely. &apls

Thank you for your nice comments   :)

I think that more fields will come, it's at the agenda however not for the next weeks.

Nothing advanced on the Lenin's Mausoleum - agree with the fact that it's a little bit too glossy but it comes from the fact I have not textured all the BAT (I will adjust the glossiness at the end :))

Fall oaks over here are generally brown/red though.

Absolutely gorgeous work, as usual! I'm curious, did you model this after specific trees (or pictures of a specific tree) or just use them for inspiration? The details and arrangement of the branches (for example on the top right one) is just so realistic!

I am hoping there will come a day when someone will turn a large collection of your trees into large lots to cover the landscape, or better yet, a God-mode tree controller.

Also, I am with Lowkee that I'd expect autumn colors to be quite a bit more vibrant. Those look more like rich summer colors to me. Still, I'm no horticulturist and I'm loathe to offer anything approaching a criticism!

absolutely great! I can really use these.  :)

Yeah, the oaks I know are usually yellow-ish/orange or brown. But I figure that differs a bit from species to species. Other than that, great work yet again! :)

I prefer to take my time concerning these trees.

No progress on the different BATs today, but a great new for 3dsMax community.

Indeed, 3dsMax 2012 has been released few days ago.

Now you can download the software for FREE on the autodesk website (you just need open an student account - real or fake ^^ no informations are checked).

So I switch to 3dsMax 2012 as the 2011 was really bad and not compatible with sc4 due to lot of booleans artifacts.

1 hour after installing the software.

All is working fine, BAT4MAX of Simfox is working fine too.

And above all artifacts disappear.

Thanks to Sciurus who help me with this news.

So now I think I could come back on the Val d'Isere 3S roof with lauzes  ;)

ERRATUM concerning 3dsmax 2012.

Bat4max5 is not compatible with this version, the problem occurs during the export time, the insertion of Fshs is not well done and I noticed it after checking the files with the reader.  &cry2

Thus in absence of Simfox, I came back to the fuc... 2011.

I spent too much time on this changment this week end, and didn't go so far with the others projects.

However I got something nice (I think) for the autumn colors for the oaks. Indeed I splited my brown / red color for more diversity.

Here the results (oaks alone and with previous packs I regret my too saturate birches but it was what you prefered  &mmm).

Looks about right to me.  Though people come from all over the world to see our trees.  For over here, those oaks may be an October mayor plop.  :)

Surely one of the last release, I really lost my motivation for going further...

They look beautiful, thanks so much! Sad to hear this will be one of the last releases but I wish you the best of luck applying your creativity in whatever other direction sounds good to you now! (hopefully involving sc4)   ::)

Wait, you mean last upload for the trees or BATing in general?  ???

If its last all together, its pretty sad because I liked your works especially your trees. (SO awesome!)
There's the CJ world, I'm pretty sure you can regain some motivation by city-building.

Thanks both for the comments,

I just wanted to say how very, very, very, very much I have enjoyed using your flora. The Oaks, Maples, Birches and Pines are all so very beautiful. The fact that this flora is seasonal adds such an impressive element to the game; it is art and genius all-in-one.

The new flora offerings look equally lovely and I can't wait to see them realeased

As for motivation, I would always say do not to be too hard on yourself.... motivation levels ebb and flow as your creativity is piqued: taking some time to play the game and enjoying your own creations can work wonders, as can a little break - now that the summer is here - to regain inspiration.

Either way, I certainly hope that these won't be the last uploads from you  :satisfied:  :)

Another amazing model by Girafe  ;)

I also enjoyed your trees... notably the maples and oaks, I hope that you'll recover your muse and return with a vigor to create even more worth showing off and sharing via the lex... thank-you for all your work in creating flora variety for sims everywhere

I have a quick question. Do you ever plan to finish your other trees that you started? Like the Chestnuts and Larches? If not do you ever plan to release them as-is? I would hate to see those wonderful things go to waste.  :(

thanks for comments,

Great works nearing perfection as  usual from you ... Having already seen your first attempts with the autumnal version of Larch trees and having already had the occasion to discuss with you about your doubts & demotivation , I hope you'll be as persevering than these beauties deserve it ... and the real autumn to come  will be a very nice one  , wallowing like a demon in the delicate foliages of all these Girafe's trees which  definitely rule the SC4 world ! :P  :thumbsup:

what is the last one? the kremel? but looks nice...

Thanks for your kind words.


So glad you are stil alive my guinea fowl. More than 2 months  &mmm I don't know where I will be.

Indeed I made the first autumn versions of larches few months ago but I am not satisfied with them (summer and autumn). It's due to the saturation that I can't increase in comparison with other developed trees...
Thus not mix is possible (= well looking).
I will post a picture for illustrating this point.

The Lenin's mausoleum is on the hands of Lowkee for modding. (maxis and darknite will be available).

yes, it's the most famous orthodox church in Russia. It's in the Red Square near the Kremlin.
My aim is not to add more details on this model, just to work on few issues and some parts which were missing.

I am trying to finish things which stay on the old folders.

At first the cattails ; they are based on the same system than previous flora sets (just 3 stages and 2 seasons as winter = autumn):

Let's talk about the flora.

I did some research concerning the larches, and finally I came up to the fact that they are quite good even if I am not so dense that previous pine sets.

This picture of a famous area in France, where larches are very common convinced me.

Concerning the cattails, I finally decided to develop an autumn version.
I think I need to desaturate a little bit the green and maybe reduce the "red" of the winter props.

I let flora a little bit (larches autumn's version will be a nightmare to develop and bushes are for later).

I decided to work again on one of my first project in Gmax which was really not a success but now I feel I am more "skilly" even if I didn't think it was so difficult...

Nothing is definitive.

I tried to reproduce particles array adviced by Simfox, result is not the same ^^ I think it's due to the materials (I applied a multi-material) on the particles (faces) but the color render is not good for time.

I have to compare differencies between particles array and what scatter option gives.

I try to do my best regarding the glass and I have to admit that it's surely a weak point. I tried to collect the more informations possible on this subject but what a pity nobody attached a .mat for a starting point.

Hello, I was just lurking around your thread here and wanted to say how amazed I am at your work, a friend turned me on to your trees recently which naturally led me here.  I also wondered if I might ask a bit of an unrelated question.

While eyeing your work I couldn't help but notice your terrain/rock mod.  It looks to me to be your teams pyrenean terrain mod mixed with one of Ennedi's rock mods if I'm not mistaken.  Except for this:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnsa15.casimages.com%2Fimg%2F2010%2F06%2F22%2F100622020357253684.jpg&hash=d1cddd694d3289ea27d7356c00c2f340045dab71)

I was hoping you might let me in on what mod you are using to obtain that broken rock effect?  Thanks in advance.

p.s. Do complete that Jacaranda tree please, I have a particular affinity for that species (actually I just completed my first MMP of the CSX version using your Birches as a guide), and another version at the caliber of your trees would be fantastic.  Cheers!

Kakado_to_save:

hehe, a promising start however the language of Moliere is so difficult ^^

Yan077:

I already though about you and all people who are interested in mediterranean landscapes. Kind of "garrigue" is clearly feasible. Most complex thing regarding this flora is how to mix nicely different bushes.
I went further and did some researches concerning mediterranean pines and especially pinus pinea. Nothing concrete for time...

shokthrpy:

Regarding these textures, as already said in pm, they are in the PTM, and appear in the altitude before eternal snow.

________________________________________________________________________________

A little bit of flora this last week.
I did lot of color researches:

- cattails.
We came to the fact with Carl that 3 seasons were too much so we will have summer / rest (autumn + winter). I dessaturated the winter season (too red).

- bushes.
I did winter props and finalized autumn version. I will send them to Carl's modding factory ^^
Before releasing them I want to be sure about the dimensions so Badsim will play a little bit with them.

- larches.
No good news, really complex to explain

Flora rendering:
For people interested in, the problem comes from the fact that there are 2 ways for modelling leaves:
- model or use alpha map.

This difference has a lot of impact during the renders especially time and colors.
To be quick, leaves with alpha maps are darker and saturated than fully modeled leaves. Moreover render timings are much much longer with this method.

For this I advice you to always have "modeled" leaves. For leafed trees it's an easy job but concerning pines it's harder.

Where I am with the different sets:

Hello Antoine ,  :)

Bonne nouvelle pour moi mais mauvaise en ce qui concerne notre collaboration : la radiographie du 22 Août a révélé une évolution favorable , du coup je suis ressorti sans l'attelle mais avec une " chaussure  de Barouk " permettant de marcher en reportant tout le poids du corps sur le talon ... j'ai repris le travail à plein-temps depuis 2 jours ( bien que ça m'ait été déconseillé ) , tant dans mon intérêt ( remboursement sécu à 66 % du salaire , tu voies ce que je veux dire ....) que celui de l'entreprise . Je serre un peu les dents mais tant pis . Plus beaucoup de temps libre à nouveau avant fin Septembre donc . La suite en Anglais ...

- bushes.
I did winter props and finalized autumn version. I will send them to Carl's modding factory ^^
Before releasing them I want to be sure about the dimensions so Badsim will play a little bit with them.

Exclusively here ( I can't think about a better place ! ) the latest picture from Champclause ... with your seasonal oaks , maples , pines and yes , indeed , I need almost desperately these seasonal bushes to replace everywhere these resized but non-seasonal Caya(s) Tomentosa(s) from Jeroni  before to go further . As explained in french , once again I'll be very busy untill the end of September , but to test these bushes will be my priority . At the first look ( with wheat props next to them ) their size is looking good  ... and the autumnal pallet is fabulous .  &apls

On a side note , David ( Dedgren )  has said a few days ago - David's posts are always a must to read  - that MDers reputation is generally  undervalued , I can't say that's wrong but considering my own reputation almost exclusively due to my MD AntigOne , I think that BATers too deserve more reputation notably with essential work like your about  SC4 flora . One K-point has been requested by me here ( by PM to Joan ...) .

Oh , and I'm already thinking about a striking place for that other jewel your chalet is . ;D

Cédric.

Fabulous WORK Girafe!!  &apls  &apls
And splendid picture Badsim  :thumbsup:

Bon rétablissement tout de même Cédric! C'est triste ce qu'il t'arrive, mais tu vas devoir le surmonter!! ()flower()

(Désolé de polluer ton sujet grande girafe! :D )

Guillaume :thumbsup:

I have been a huge Moby [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby) fan since the '90s, and one of the major reason for that coming about was the 1995 track "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters."  It is ethereal and wonderful and magical and perfect, and the title is so evocative.

In the work that our great friends Cédric and Girafe are doing I have now seen God Moving Over the Face of the Land.  It is transcendent and visionary.  It is SC4 become fine art.

A K-point each for this incredible collaboration.


David

Eh oui voilà une association pintadine qui marche du feu de Dieu  &hlp

Puisqu'ici on cause en français, j'en profite pour vous donner mon ressenti.
Que dire des arbres, Girafe, à part qu'ils sont incroyables et vraiment sublimés par cette image de Cédric.
Justement cette image, venons en, je suis abasourdi par l'incroyable méticulosité de cette composition artistique... Tout n'est que finesse et délectation... Et ce petit ruisseau qui serpente le long de l'abbaye, que dire, à part qu'on touche vraiment au sublime... Le bout du monde comme tu dis !
Cédric, tu m'avais dis un jour que Corsica était ton MD préféré de tous les temps, je ne peux que te retourner le compliment mon ami Je crois qu'on ne réalise pas assez la somme de travail nécessaire pour aboutir à d'aussi fabuleux résultats. Mais le travail ne suffit pas car il est évident que rien ne serait possible sans un sens artistique hors du commun. Cette image le prouve bien encore une fois!
En tout cas, AntigOne me fait de plus en plus rêver, et reste la principale motivation à ne pas abandonner mon propre MD.
Concernant le propos de David, je pense que les Karma points doivent avant tout récompenser les batteurs,  sans qui les City journalers ne seraient pas grand chose. Ceci dit, un petit K-point de temps en temps, ça fait toujours plaisir !  $%Grinno$%

Un immense bravo à vous 2  &apls &apls &apls

Come back to english for non french-speaker, they could be disappointed to not understand you / us.

Thanks a lot for all your nice comments, always really welcomed.

Badsim:
These shots are spectacular  &apls &apls and I am honored that you put them here  ;)
TY for the K-point (David too), indeed this system is not at the avantage of the batters. Barbara said me one day that it was not developped for awarding them but moreover modders, people helping. For this reason MDer are under rated too.
It could be sad for people like me who are batting for the community and don't play (so much) with their creations.
Maybe time to upgrade this system or think about something fairer...
Anyway I prefer to referring to your warm comments which are sources of motivation and gratefulness  :satisfied:

Une_ame:
Girafes never break their legs  :)
The walls are from Arthur, and it's a nice set

I have not a lot of thing to show you tonight...
I just hope Carl will recover an internet connection quickly and then we will go ahead with few projects  &Thk/(:

- release the mausoleum (final state)
- modding of the cattails and release them while I am quite ok with them.
- modding of the bushes. I think that they need maybe a size reajustment so Badsim will say what he thinks about them.

I am finalizing the night views of the chalet and surely will finish it in the next days but I am not motivated for the LOT %wrd

A pic, I have already shown in Simtro (Simfox helps a lot with this project what explains I posted firstly there).

Dear Girafe, I could not thank you more for your fantastic works that you have shared with the community. I recently downloaded your set of trees (a late adopter, just picked up SC4 again), and I really loved the look they give to my city. I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post a picture, but this is what a part of my city looks like - with your trees in their full seasonal glory, of course :)

That chalet is looking especially amazing Antoine!  &apls  I have a corner of Siilijoki that will be perfect for a ski resort sometime down the road here and your work in that area is what made me interested in that. The Gan Tower is coming along nicely too.

I need to echo what Teddyrised said about your trees--they've been a real "game-changer" and I'm extremely happy with what they've done for my cities.

Girafe  I thank you for the release of Lenin's mausoleum. As always, you  managed to do a great job and I admires this.  Keep it up ahead, because  we enjoy your work.

Gan is not going further for time, members in Simtro suggested to developp a sunken plaza.
After some modifications I showed something I am not convinced. Moreover I have no experience with lighting a tower like Gan so it will take lot of time before something good  &Thk/(

Amazing conifers!! &apls &apls

Thanks for comments.

I took time to clean up my scene a little bit and think about the plaza.

I came to a sunken plaza of 1 floor (around 4m deep). Last version was too deep and dark. My aim was to keep the sunken part as it was unusual for sc4 and could fit nicely in the game.

I decided to design again the plaza but didn't want to spend too much time on it.

Here I am, stay lot of works... never though a 200m skyscraper was a such project.

Hello Antoine ,

The seasonal bushes are perfect in every way to me . Once you start to use them , you just wonder how you were able to make lanscapes without them  ;D ... I repeat that Larches are the finest SC4 flora ever created , I love them more than anything else ... but I'll not show them untill you finish their autumnal livery .  :P

New conifers are stunning too , I'll show them through new scenic pictures but that's for me too much destruction & work to replace them in the scenes already done ...  $%Grinno$%

Well , nothing urge  : AntigOne is now a project , not a region anymore ( where almost everything , thanks to people like you , is outdated each 6 months ... $%Grinno$% )

Tu comprendras donc , que de ce point de vue , je ne te remercies pas .  :party:  ;D

Thanks for the nice comments,

I have been quiet these last days / weeks.

I uploaded on the pri-LEX the bushes set, last upload of a long series. I hope you could play with it next week, there is nobody for scrutinising it at the BSC for the moment.

I didn't start new project as my professional life in the next months will be dense and I could not finish big projects.

However I will continue to participate in the VIP team, some of you enjoy the carpack, there are 40 props of mine inside and I noticed that Cédric didn't mod more models.
As I did 135 cars, a second carpack is conceivable...

In addition I will upload the chalet, even if it's a old project - I think people could be interested in. Only the lotting and modding are missing %wrd

I believe you're talking about seasonal trees. They can be used on lots, but only on ploppable ones, and even those must be plopped on the first days of September so the right trees grows on the right times. That cannot be achieved on growable lots as you cannot guarantee they will grow within those timed seasons.

However there's always something to nitpick over, which is I need more! Lots and lots more  ;D

Seriously though, great work and looking forward to your next projects.  :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments.

Regarding the seasonal props on LOTs, you can used them, they are under the section Flora with the name Grfe_XX except maples which are under the name TSC (if I am right) but I will correct them soon as I already renamed them for myslef.
But be careful, Carl does not advice to use Seasonal props on LOTs...

I have no motivations these last weeks and months even if my guinea fowls are here.
I will finish Gan which is closed to be released.

Well, like has been said, you can use them as flora on LOTs, but their timer starts whenever the lots are grown/plopped. That's a problem for growable lots, of course. But I understand it would take too much time to convert them, so I'll stick with CP trees for now...  :)

Brillant work my friend.

Gan is looking great!  &apls  At night it fits right in next to SimFox's BATs, which in my opinion are the gold standard for quality night-lighting.

I also hope you find your motivation again!

Thanks for all  your kind comments (Matt, Swordmaster, Ben & Noah),

@Noah, yes we use the same method with Simfox, we have each our way how to do but finally we stay really close to each other.

I didn't recover motivation but I had done things I didn't show you yet,

A girafe at the state of the art:

Gan tower:

There were tiny details, like the empty effect inside the tower I corrected and i gave more intensity to the lighting (you can check in the IG pics, I was a little bit under the average).

However, I think you should be able to improve the gilding of the roof? no?

Quote from: Orange_o_ on November 18, 2011, 01:58:24 PMAm I the only one to marvel at so many beautiful things?

certainly not  :)

I agree the gilding offers room for improvement. However I'm more excited about the chessnut trees, just can't stop marvelling over all this gorgeous (seasonal) flora.
Though one remark, maybe too late, but would it be possible still to vary the greenness? I.e. in autumn all your trees display a beautiful palet of colour, would be nice to have some different hues in summertime as well. For instance something in between what they look now and the recently released VIP poplar trees, as chessnuts are rather bright.

Just my two cents, take care.  :thumbsup:

You should make the dome a little taller. We can see the details at the top are " small " on the real picture, whereas on yours it takes almost the half of the golden dome.

Fantasic work on the cathedral.

Would say scale it to 130 % on the z-axis. (... and the side domes as well)

Very nice models. I particullary love the car (yes :D ) which is... a Renault Twingo? ;D
The tree is fine too, and what saying about the cathedral?!! &apls &apls

Guillaume :thumbsup:

Thanks for your comments.

@ David: yes the gilding of the roofs is not optimized, I have to turn to a more goldsih one, as it's copper for time.

@ Vortext: thanks for posting what you think, interesting comment. Just be careful sc4 is a game where the camera is in the sky and not at ground. In our case, the leaves will be mess shiny with this point of view but I revised the green color of the chestnuts.
If you look carefully at the 2 pictures, on the second one, foliage is a darker green. Moreover David made poplars, and for my taste the green color is a little too bright but it gives variety to the game. I will never reach this tint of color I think but I followed you and propose something else:

Up: old color, Down: new color.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ld-host.de%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2Fde88bd875b781ccaee441f1c0b4a79d3.jpg&hash=2790c3c5a2cd47047b25159e54216cd104f2f64e)

After the colors you see in 3dsmax, are not the colors in game, so I have to export it and check what I get IG.

@ Arthur and Arne: you right both, my small decorative at the top of the dome is too big and moreover I didn't scale the church on the Z axis. It's the last thing I do before exporting because it has no sense to BAT at 133% directly.
Project will be in stand by, Girafe saw too big ^^.

@ Guillaume: Yes it's a Clio RS 2, metal is not so good... &Thk/( something I need working on.

Finally Gan / CB21 has been exported and is going to be modded.  :-\

i love you trees, cars, etc. ...
I used it every day! Thanks man for let us using it!  ;)

I prefer the new color, I find it more realistic!
I agree with you about the metal texture; maybe should you make it brighter?

Guillaume :thumbsup:

It's that easy huh?   :D

A subtle change you've made but in effect the tree looks more yellow/warm and thus more chestnutty, at least to me (got a lot of those around in my neighbourhood). Well done.
Under the assumption these will be seasonal as well I hope you don't mind me asking whether an autumn sneak peek is avaible.  ;)

Thanks for your comments.

At first some explanations:

This picture gathers 3 versions of chestnuts, the color it's the same but the reflexion is different.

A is the greener
C is the less green
and B is an in-between

The version A is the first try I did before the comment of Vortext and C is the version I presented here in a grey background.

However I am afraid of the fact that A is too green for fitting with others sets of trees, particulary Oaks and Birches (they are too bright but they are done for months  &mmm).

Thus I present 2 type of mix:

1st with maples where version A & B are nice:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ld-host.de%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2F7f1b2c5e5af4ff75559592d0f47ff9a2.jpg&hash=a95e88771d6209dceef8b8946cebe3c33254964f)

and a version with oaks and birches and in this case A doesn't fit so well:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ld-host.de%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2F09fc3379ce75ff0207a49fb93a5a36f2.jpg&hash=e4539d7e28da4ff25868652fb061022601d302c3)

For this reason I would choice B, but our opinions are welcomed. Moreover you can see how I do and understand that working on flora is not an easy job ::) More I get trees more it's complex to have harmonious forest mixes.


@ Vortext and the others

Yes there will be a seasonal version and for this reason post the colors you would like for the autumn  :)

CB21 is close to be yours  ;)

Fantastic work here! The CB21 is something I'll certainly use, the same goes for the trees and that orthodox cathedral, it'll be great to finally have such one in SC4!

Beaux arbres!  &apls &apls  &apls

Maybe no surprise I like A the best. Imho it doesn't stand out too much, after all some trees are just greener than others  :)

As for the autumn colours, again they tend to be quite bright. Starting out reddish orange in early fall, they'll sometimes become completely yellow (though obviously not as saturated as this first pic).

The colours are nice, particular the desaturated look and feel. Though the one in the top right, next to the dead trunk, looks a bit too fresh/crisp for autumn to me, maybe drop the green a bit (or turn up the yellow).

The EDF tower looks promising as well. Though I won't have a need for skyscrapers anytime soon, guess which ones will be the first pick when I do ;)

A K-point and my best regards, my friend!


David

First of all, thanks for the mapples  :thumbsup:

But I'm sorry to hear you retire  ()sad().
You really made great contributions, too bad there won't be any more to look forward to.
All the best and take care.

What a pity to read about your retirement ()sad()

I can only said thanks for all your creations . You make me dream with your flora and have created a set of memorable seasonal flora. Your flora is the present and will be the future for a long time. :thumbsup:
Again many thanks!
I wish you the best. :)

Many thanks for all your work.
Best wishes for your future.

José

what a pity to hear your retirement, a big loss to the SC4 community...
anyway, your great works will be remembered by us forever  &apls

This is a shame, you released so many great things and feel you were getting better and better. Shame we never got to see Signal and EDF towers..both looked gorgous, but you have released so much good work and changed the game forever with your trees.

Hi Girafe,

Pity to say good bye to you. Your work was always great. Your advice was always welcome. I wish you good times to come. Thanks for all the contributions.

Frank

I can't thank you enough for all the enormous contributions you've made to this game. Your seasonal flora is absolutely amazing. I was so happy just to have the first couple releases and then they just kept coming! The seasonal maples and conifers stand out as particularly essential to my cities, but the smaller cat tails and bushes have filled a really important niche too--and there isn't a tree you've released that I don't use, even the old ones that aren't modded to be seasonal. Recently, I've also had a chance to use your skiing lots and they're absolutely fantastic, giving me some of the most SC4 fun I've had in a while. Though best known as "The Floraler" your skyscraper work was equally impressive and I look forward to using it in my cities.

I have to hope that your retirement is not permanent but whether or not that is the case I wish you all the best in life and hope you are as successful outside of SC4 as you have been in this game.

Your work is probably second only to the NAM in importance in Siilijoki and will be for a long time to come. Thanks again and good luck!

-Noah

Oh my heart breaks that we have to part with your giraffe. Your absence will weigh pretty much me and you will really miss you. Thank you for everything you have created for us. Your work will always be remembered because they are uniquely beautiful and successful.
  I wish you much success and luck from here on. And if someday you decide to return, you should know that I will do a lot of people happy.

- Ivo  :'(

What a sad sad news for the community,  :'( nothing will ever be the same without the Girafe.  ::)

Anyway, I wish you the best and send you my best regards my friend.  :sunny:

Samuel.


PS: Thank you for your last present!  :thumbsup:

Don't believe it... what a pity  ()sad() You'll really miss you Antoine, here in SC4D, we'll never forget all your immense and fabulous work... until your come back cos I should like to think that is not a definitive retirement...  ::)

Anyway, I wish you all the best for the future, hope everything works out for you !

And thank you so much for the awesome last present  &apls &apls &apls

Yann  :thumbsup:

Antoine ...  we both know  you're at that age when even a guinea-fowl needs to start its professional life . We spoke sometimes about that expiration date having to arrive someday and I thought I was mentally ready to hear that . Considering the bad economic situation of France ( just like for many others countries if not all , finding themselves at the same impasse ) , and notably the dramatic situation of unemployment for the youngest generations , if professional  considerations only are involved in your decision , it would be a blessing for you . Qualities and talent shown there may be not proper or useful on a Curriculum Vitae  but they are what you are ; there's nothing else to do than to wish you the best , wholeheartedly .

That being said as an indefectible friend . As VIP Team member , what I feel right now is a deep worry , as SC4 community member , what I feel right now is an immense gratitude for all you gave us and an unspeakable sadness .

I met Antoine in the TSC site in 2008. He had a passion for railways, and it fell as much myself, I model automata.
We spent long evenings on msn, to create the X_Ter, which is still circulating in your cities.
I must admit it took me a lot of patience with this young man.
Then one day, tired of making skins for automata, he opened the BAT. Unconsciousness of youth, it made that:

Which for a first approach, already ... impressive.


And then gradually, consulting advice, from night to night, him, which eventually give me advice.

I even ended up giving "Antoine" as a name to my second son.

But it's time for our favorite Girafe, to face the real world after both work for the community.

And unlike other I sincerely hope that this retreat is ultimately what will be a very good thing for him.  :thumbsup:

Ferme les yeux tu verras ce sera pas long
Transporte toi vers de nouveaux horizons
Vers de nouveaux horizons, entourés de...
Vers de nouveaux horizons, entourés de...

Son âme te transporte et t'emmène vers l'au-delà
Les yeux de Babylone resteront figés sur toi
Écoute ton cœur et ne fais pas le mauvais choix

This are lyrics of a french song by Melissa N'Konda. But if you don't understand french, it doesn't matter, the most important hereis that Girafe is leaving us and let behind him a great heritage of BATs and MODs.

I hope to see you soon back here cher Antoine, and that your leave is not definitive.

Guillaume :thumbsup:

I'm very sad in a way that you are leaving us, but on another level sounds like you going to begin another stage of your life and I wish you all the best in what ever endeaver is in front of you.
Good luck,
Robin :thumbsup:

Good luck with whatever you'll be doing next, Girafe. We will miss you here!  :(

Best,
Maarten

Such abrupt news. Even so it's sad to see you go. You've created the best trees for the game and I think you know how grateful I am for it. :)

,marsh

That´s hard to hear, so sad... You´re a so outstanding artist, Your seasonal flora is the best ever seen in SC4 and for a long time it will be. You have done so much for us, i only want to say thank You. The economic situation, as Cédric said: it´s a pity that this should stop one of the most talented BATters here.
But for now i wish You the best, have a good time wherever You are! And like everybody here i still hope You will come back.
Grettz, Carl

I hope you come back, this is so hard to take in. :(

Yes I hope too.
Your work, your rigor and your talent are just perfect.  ::)

I didn't think but I will retire more progressively, as I found few minutes during the week ends to open 3ds, thus I would like to finish some small props and projects in the old boxes.

At first, a quick reply to my dear guinea fowl. I am Very proud you give this name to your second son :)

Project is so huge, and I don't have any time to focus on it... will see later about this case.

I will focus on flora, my main domain  :satisfied:.

With the guinea fowls, we started to develop fields and especially wheat fields with props and lots. It seems this technic is not so appropriate for the game and asks hours of lotting for Cédric, which is boring.

Second solution is to make seasonable props which could be plop in mayor mod. It will not flood the menu and are more friendly for landscapers. Maybe it will be less beautiful as we can't do rows with MMP.

So for time, wheat and rape are in progress.

AWWWWWesome - the EDF, the trains and the farm equipment/machinery are simply gorgeous.  I am glad that your retirement from batting stops at "I have a little time now and then to complete some stuff" even though it means waiting for them anxiously but patiently as they may take longer than expected.  Worth the wait.

Hooray, he's back!   ;D

Trains look great, as do the wheat props  :thumbsup:
And besides for mmps, those would be usefull for actual farmfields as well  ::)

The return of SC4's most talented and ambitious "floraler" is wonderful if true! It looks to me like everything you touch turns to gold--though I understand that many hours of effort are required for such perfection. You coming back is an excuse to "gush" for a bit, so I will: for months I've thought your maples to be the best thing made for SC4 in 2011 (outside the NAM which is done by many people, not just one) but your Norwegian maples are even/or/almost/better! I love how the last click ends up with a single large tree. I don't know if you're really going to have time again now but I do have a serious request: ice-covered deciduous trees, preferably aspens. I appreciated you pointing out the newest VIP seasonal trees but they don't seem snow-covered and I know that you're the master of both snow and trees. If you don't have time I completely understand but I just had to ask for this one  ::)

Good to see you back.

Great work as always.

Why not make normal field lots?  At least then it would function.

Maybe I can become a VIP guest?  :)
I am willing to help with lotting of farm fields. It's one of the things I do anyway. Project still under construction, but I have made about 25 new farm fields.
And the Daniel Libeskind tower: can you maybe find someone else to render and finish the project if you have no time for it? it looks soooo awfully good!  :o

All the best and have fun!

Yep, there's a lot of things for me to expect since you've decided to return for some while  ;D
I'm so glad to hear the news  :thumbsup:

Thanks for your kind words   ::) ::),

Not the approach I would like for some reasons.

This kind of flora is really complex, much more than a tree. So the wheat prop is only a square 2x2m. So on a sc4 square 16x16m, there are a lot of props. Moreover you have to do the lot with the 3 versions (autumn, spring and summer), it's a nightmare for lotting.

Secondly in your menus, if you have 3 or 4 lots for wheat, same for rap, sunflowers... it becomes quickly messy.
For these reasons I prefer to develop a MMPS but I face to the problem of 4 versions (due to 4 seasons even if winter is not a season for cereal flora) and I don't want to remove one season  :(

what's your idea about this?

Preliminary test, don't know what to think about rap...

Actually, if these were used for growable farm fields, it would only require a 1x1 lot with timed props. Moreover, all 4 seasons could be included. I think these props when finished should be send off to Frank  ;)

They do look good as flora, much more realistic to not be in the grid.  However, you can't have 4 seasons on one flora plop, props have significantly more flexible timing (wheat and other grains are harvested more than once a year), flora cast shadows (which are going to greatly effect your game with so many faces) while props don't have to, props can be random so you can get relatively realistic looking harvesters when you want them, and fields grow by themselves to save everyone time.  Maybe make a simple seasonal flora to hide the grid of a growable field.

Hi, well, I have been experimenting with this kind of stuff.

I actually made several farmfields with four seasons. For the maize field I used rambuckels maize props. She even made, on my request, a spring stage for me. The models are not yet perfect, otherwise I could show the results.
I have three models:  young maize plants, full grown maize plants and remaining stubbs after reaping. All these three props I have made into seasonal props and I put them all onto one field lot. By choosing the right cycle and prop duration I made a farm field that changes four times a year. The fourth stage being the winter: empty farm field.

I could make something like this with these wheat props. Not a problem.
Repetition in the props is not a real problem: in real life farm fields have everything in rational rows. This is already some kind of repetition.
The only improvement that I could think of is that it would be wise to have props the size of a tile: 16x16 meters, or something like 8x8, otherwise the lot will have 3x16 is 48 props! I fear the game will slow down when there are many wheat farms on the city tile.

Send me a PM if you like.

Frank

For time I let aside the wheat. I have to think about the best method to implant cereals in the game.

I finished an old old project, it was a request from my dear guinea fowl Yann for his fabulous MD: Corsica.

It's parasol pines, that finally are close to be released.

A big thank to Quesh for being in backstage each time I need flora icons  &apls &apls

And a special thank to Yann for giving me awesome pictures of Corsica for illustrating the parasol pines.  &apls &apls

I developed different pics however I don't know which one to choose for the LEX, so up to you to choose which one you prefer  ::)

Bravo Antoine!  &apls &apls &apls
The quality is amazing and Yann's pictures give great credit to your work. A magnificent new realization of the Girafe.  ;D

My favorite picture is number 3!




Sam.

excellent trees as always  :thumbsup:

number 4 is my favorite

number 6, because we can see the pine needles  :P

I like all of them but N°6 whith no doubt, considering that this is for the pines.
I do not comment a lot here, but as always, I'm a big fan of your work mister Antoine. :)

Fantastic work with the agricultural stuff  &apls

And yes, No 6 looks superb  ;D

More beautiful trees  &apls  The pics are all beautiful but agree that #6 best displays the trees.

Yeah, I agree with noahclem  ;D

wow Girafe! Those pines are stunning. The small pine leaves are incredibly well done  :o &apls
It's exactly what I need as I'm working in a Med town.
I agree that number 6 is the best shot.

Glad to see you are still here!!

Hi Girafe,
Glad to see you could not stop the BAT on SC4.  ::)

My favorite picture for presentation is the number 6 and second choice, the number 2.

Thanks for your nice coments  ::)

Nothing stunning these last days, but you can find the Parasol pines on the LEX, pic 6 and 3 have been chosen, thanks to my dear guinea fowl

They're still beautiful  ;)

Thanks Noah,

This week end, I began something new for our friends of North America.

Decided to work on c.p. must have few years ago, subalpine firs. This species doesn't exist in Europe so I based my work on this pic:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ld-host.de%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2F35b73c4cfa6a3b59519159b753d6fad2.jpg&hash=4c3028d1ca8a78baff7cb3fe827c7422304903e7)

With this set I am asking if I am in the right way, indeed I am not sure to have enough recoil on my job...

Anyway, the first pictures: New generation of subalpine firs

Pics are at maximum size to avoid blurred effect

Beautiful new trees Antoine  &apls &apls

Looks great, I have a question, why the trees you have made are not props as well, it would be great for people like me to use them with my apartments, because the flora trees sometimes does not show up in the game, I just wish you can make a prop pack for the trees you made in the past for people like me to use. The trees you make really looks great with my apartments. :)

Very beautiful trees :) I'm looking forward to use them.

Just one little suggestion as I just "worked" with your conifers which seem to be very similar to those firs. At first sight the only difference seems to be the sharper peak of the firs.

I don't really know how to differentiate those models but I think you could propably think of making those firs a little bit darker than the conifers.

I think it would be nice if you could make a picture of both sorts of trees plopped next to each other.

Theresa

EDIT: I'd support Aarons Suggestion for a Prop-Pack ;)

Nice set of trees you've got there  :thumbsup:

To everyone about the proppack: I've already converted all of Girafe's trees, as well as most of the VIP trees to timed props (only poplars are missing I believe). If it's okay with the VIP team I can release those.

Very beautiful Parasol Pines Girafe! I just have seen in game. &apls
And I'm glad you've returned.
I'm having ploblems with the flora Parasol Pines in the LE. I make a Lot with the pines but then I don't see Pines in the game ()what(). Someone else have the same problem?

Vortex: wow, that's a great news! Timed props are essential &apls

This is what I have been talking about before in my earlier post it will not show up in the game because your probably using flora as you prop, flora never works right, sometimes it will show up in the game and sometimes it will not it's a random thing.

Same flora problems with me too.  I haven't lotted any seasonal flora just because lotting I've done is with growables, and I haven't done much lotting recently either.  At one point I thought the issue was with occupant size, and with the bounding box in LE overlapping, but I don't think that is the case (the maxis RKT5 have large occupant sizes).  It might also be something in the flora parameters, but Girafe's trees are kept to pretty small numbers.

Props are the way to go I would say.  I would prefer to have them timed differently than the seasonal flora (a week or so off, or perhaps each tree with its own timing), but you know, to he/she that mods go the spoils. :)

Yeah, the props are in great need, and personally I have already made some... ;D
Later I will put up one pic using Girafe's trees as props in the Picture Contest  ;)

Thanks a lot for the comments  ::)

VIP stuff as props:

@ Vortext: good news. After I have to check with my guinea fowls how to deal with your proposition. Indeed, in one part you have achieved a big part of modding but in another hand we stay the authors of the props.

We keep in mind of course and it's our aim, to propose to the largest public the best stuff we can (and we know that lot of lotters want these flora items as props / timed props), so I will let you know what the others think about this  ;)

This is the list of developed pines.

Set A & B were the first packs, the saturation of the color is not good as the density but I was not able to avoid this fact at that time (due to alpha maps).

Set C has never been released, only Cedric used it for Antigone, for a simple reason I was never successful with autumn version (exporting stage 4 & 5: 18 hours and a preview more than 1hour, in this configuration it's not possible to test many colors for fall livery  &mmm).

Set D, it's a set with entire batted needles which is much better for rendering and texturing. Color of this pack seems to be more adjusted to fit with broad leaved trees.

Set E, last one is like set D, I just changed the color with totally different texture.

You can see that the specter of colors begins to be large and the potential of new "green" colors is not so big.

@ weixc812:

Superb pic indeed and good use of flora props  :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the explanation :) I can imagine that you are not able to really work on a set of trees like the C-Set that needs hours to be rendered. Althoug the models look like they would be worth the effort :) They are really beautiful. But the D-Set is as beautiful.

At least I'm happy about every new plant you release :)

Theresa

First off, I love all your work Giraffe.  &apls

Sub-alpine trees have been a species that I've been waiting for intently.

The trees looks great, keep it the great work.

Good to hear it's taken into consideration. Initially I made the props for my street mod but like you said, a lot of people will want to use them in the LE. Moreover it will save you guys a lot of work (oh yes I did, twice  :P ).

Quote from: Lowkee33 on February 26, 2012, 07:04:47 PMI would prefer to have them timed differently than the seasonal flora (a week or so off, or perhaps each tree with its own timing)

Funny you say so, that was my thought exactly when I made them. Some trees will change last week of august, others first weeks of september. Besides, trees from the VIP rural pack actually have four seasons so they're already on a different pace than MMPs.

Nice nice nice!! I'm happy when I see you're making new trees! &apls

Thanks for the comments.

Subalpine firs coming soon:
