Hi ,
With my best wishes to you all for 2009 , all the more this year , announced as a very bad one .

Various works , various news ...
Firstly , as announced on my previous post , all
AntigOne's trees - deciduous ones - are now configured to be seasonal and/or semi-seasonal .
Porkissimo's "Street leaves" used with them appear now from November to the end of December only .
Have also started to work with
Youcef/TSC canal set . Have to confess that I've been firstly disappointed with it ; that's well known that , if Buildings are more or less accurately scaled in SC4 , props need to be overscaled ... and , near props like Sims or cars , this canal set looks underscaled . Fortunately , have found some ways to give it more relief , adding props like walls and railings ... hope you will like it , Youcef .

Welcome to Notre-Dame de Paris'AntigOne . 

It took me near a week of LotEditing for the few pictures you're going to see , trying many things to be as close to reality than possible .
Near a week , yep , maybe does it sound crazy for ...5 Lots ... but how much longer did it take to
Debussyman to BAT it ?
So , that's only justice for that masterpiece .
I worked - I'm working should I rather say , as it is far to be finished - with a lot of real pictures like those for details ...


... and
GoolgleEarth for the overview as , personally , I didn't go to Paris during the ten last years .











The project here is to reproduce the whole
Ile de la Citè
Maybe have you noticed the
Bouquinistes (famous secondhand booksellers of Paris ) along the
Seine ...



Time to tell you one thing or two about
vnaoned ( Vincent ... ) .
vnaoned is a new and very very promising french BATer . He is also the author of the most stunning MD I've seen since a long time , with his own BATs .... take a few minutes to visit it at TSC ;
http://www.toutsimcity.com/forums.php?viewthread=517794&page=1 . Absolutely stunning .
vnaoned , because he enjoy my work as I enjoy his , sent me some props he did ( That's not a request ... ) :

Among these props , there are also the famous
Wallace fountains ...

... more than 100 of these fountains offered to parisians by Sir Wallace are disseminated in Paris since 1875.
These props , and hopefully some others to come , are so complementary to Porkissimo's ones that I exhorted him to release & upload a prop pack .
Waiting for it , thank you so much Vincent .

Well , it seems that AntigOne v2 will be more parisian than ever ....

Replies ...
Youcef ( Thanks once more for the canal set and , yes , I will certainly request you specific pieces for a diagonal bridge ...

) ,
Arthur ,
kimcar ,
bat ,
gobo77 ,
Robin &
Pat , thanks for your comments . I know I should take time to comment your own works ... in other words , I should spend less time with LE and more on these forums ... hummm , should be possible during the next days .

J' aimerais savoir s'il y a possibilité que tu "release" your work.
"My work" is now a collection of more than 1000 custom Lots - I would be the king of STEX , LEX and so on !!!

-
No , alas ...
These Lots working like puzzle pieces are too specific and I'm working regardless dependancies ... sometimes working with outdated prop packs , duplicated files and so on .
No , sorry , don't wait for . That's the main reason why I've chosen instead to show the more "making of" possible ...
You should make the vuitton center-shop on champs elysées
It will be very caracteristic of this avenue!
Good idea ... I know there's one on the STEX by lacoigne . But I think it's too large to be integrated to a parisian block ... that said , I'll verify .

One question, what is the name of the prop that you use as avenue median in the lot you made?
JENX_Gare_du_Nord_v27h_x_FrontSide3 from Gare du Nord by Xannepan , first version on the STEX . I don't know version 2 on the LEX .
Alan , I did never reply to your PM ... sorry .
Well you don't need any authorization from me to do that you want ...

I'll be spending some time with LE in 2009, and you know who my exemplar will be!
Joan
Hi Joan , rather a good new when I thought you gave up with LE .
If you need any advices ... I'm there .

Its a pleasure to watch a master at work.
Thank you , Derry . Would like to see you as well more often "at work" in your MD , like we can see you at work in the LotEditor Projects thread ... You have rather chosen humour and finally that's a great touch of personality .... AntigOne is far to be that fun .

See you later .

Cédric.
