ehbk2006's traffic BAT projects

[Monorail Master]

THANK YOU!  Can I make a lot that has the cameras on it and you can place on OWR, Roads, Streets, or AVE?

[ehbk2006]

No problem, you may use and edit everything, with my credits afcourse.

Guess who's back 

[ehbk2006]

And some overhead catenary's from Belgium

[Fresh Prince of SC4D]

Oh no he didnt..............

[j-dub]

Oh yes he did.

[ehbk2006]

These signals need to be placed at junctions or stations.

This is looking very good excelent work

Is someone interested in transforming this 3ds model into an automata?

[nerdly_dood]

I'd be glad to do it for you!  I don't really know what to do to put the texture on the model, though - I could use help with that.

Oh, and also I don't have the faintest idea how I would go about making the bendy part of the bus actually bend.  I've seen it done, though.

[ehbk2006]

Cool, thanks. I shall post the .3ds file here when it's done, it needs some more curves. 

[nerdly_dood]

Ok wait.. I am sorry but I must withdraw my offer - I haven't the faintest idea what exactly I'd do ith the model file - I know how to put the model into a DAT file but I am very picky with small details such as the fact that it's a bendy bus, and I don't know how to apply the textures.

I only know one that convert a 3ds to a low poly automata, Jan/Swamper77.

I'm recently creating some models for OTTD's 32bpp graphics, these are my latest creations (maybee usefull as a prop in sc4):

If I got time I shall try to finish the Belgian signal pack:

These look very nice 

[Fresh Prince of SC4D]

  Those look look great can't wait to see them zooming thru my cities.

BTW- Gelukkige Verjaardag!! ( I hope I typed that right!)

[squidi]

great work!
i would really like to use the buses as props but of cause seeing them driving through the city would be nice too
but iam sorry that i cant actually help you with that

[art128]

these buses look fantastic  really great work 

[ehbk2006]

Turning them into a prop will be easy  , but turning them into an automata will be very difficult.

If this bus was turned into glr tram, it may be a good idea. I could see this in line with Avenue in GLR. Without revealing much, I can tell you that there is a different type of glr road being made, that is shared with car traffic. The texture looks like the bus is driving in traffic lined up with cars on a 4-lane single tile road. I don't know much about automatta, but the bending part may not be as much as an issue if it was detached as seperate cars. Real toy trains never have the bending part covering the doorways between cars working sucessfully. So in reality, it can't be done. I tried building some real train cars, and having the covered doorway connection actually stay together was not going to happen. I don't know if or when cables are going to be T21-ed to this type of network, but I seriously assume so, since this is a vital glr network being made. As we speak more pieces are probably being made. That may be a while. In real life in my state, I have seen these type of cable busses drive on a seperate line than the traffic. Maybe check the T-Ram thread to see if this could potentially be automatta for it. If automatta, there probably is better luck taking the textures and replacing current MAXIS automattas. I never heard of 3D models being able to be turned into automatta.
