the vernacular trend

[superhands]

Well, i have been working on a tower for the last few days. this is a pic at zm4
i'm going to make a few changes to the roof top and the back and correct the scale a little. it's 3 x 6 tiles


click me!

Looks great Bighead

I like the shape. Can't wait for textures

This high rise begins well... but where goes the road?

[superhands]

david, the owr road is going to be a car park and the building will be able to have back and front road access.

something ive always been unhappy about is the colour of the maxis soil. it looked to grey. so this is what i came up with.

[Nexis4Jersey]

they have a replacement texture , but this blows the one out of the park!

[Pat]

Dave that is looking real sweet there the replacement texture for the soil!!!! I cant wait for that to hit the shelves!!!

[FrankU]

Yes, it indeed looks great!

[CabraBuitre]

cabra, things will happen eventually

I don't mean to keep bugging... but have you done anything with the canals lately?  Even if it's the one diagonal piece, that would be huge. 

[superhands]

well its been a while since I posted here nothing has really progressed on the bat front due to RL and other projects

but one area that I hope to focus on in the near future is improving the current maxis Farms, as well as some new fields/crops.

below is the market garden which has been better spaced to RL.





And finally introducing the texture for large scale cropping programs, that are conventionally sown using an air seeder or combine. 





currently I'm testing 10% or so opacity on the base textures, which bleeds the landscape texture through, however some weird texture bugs occur when zooming.

Those look pretty good. Glad to see them up.   

That road mod is also looking quite interesting.

Are those stop lite poles compadable with the hbs stoplight mod?

[superhands]

It should be   i had a look at the mod (a very nice one indeed) and it seems to only change double or triple light pole stands.

-Dave

[starfinder9659]

ok, thank you    and by the way, this is a great mod   

[superhands]

Got around to uploading the Oxisol soil mod. You can grab it here.

Good work, Dave!    In some older downtown areas that I have seen in small towns, some of the older traffic lights remain that actually have yellow poles.  I have even seen some of the older installations retrofitted with modern LED technology, but the yellow poles remain.

[starfinder9659]

really really SUPER-(hands)

[Highrise99]

Looks good!  Are those yellow traffic poles for the RHW-2, or for all intersections?

[superhands]

Well 120 days or more since the last post


Ive again been focusing on modding textures as opposed to batting.

the results i think talk for themselves.





the aim of this little side project is to revitalise maxis sidewalk textures, the greatest outcome hopefully will be evident on existing lots.

ok.  its been a while between projects, and this ones been on my mind for a while.
its the Western Australian Museum building, as per original design by George Temple-Poole.

the original vision for the museum entailed Victorian elegance that would grace the capital city.
due to costs and government prowess, the building project finished as only a 1/3rd of what the plans described.
 
in fact below is this 1/3rd:





this is the original concept which was to line james st:
