Take care,

Outdated !!! Blame it on the girafe  

Yep , girafe are such strange animals … and so is Antoine !  Thank you Arne .

... Girafe Cédric's waiting for you!

Guillaume

Cédric’s is also waiting for so many things …  « Plût au ciel que j’eusses su BATer » , like our president would have said …    Thanks , Guillaume .

Wonderful atmosphere. I want to take a relaxing Sunday drive through your countrysides.

Nice idea …  I , sure , would like to as well . Some of us are there to assert their frustration from the world . I’m standing among them .  Thank you Andrew .

.. As for your dilema, you can turn existing props into new off-set ones in the reader. It is a difficult and tedious process, but it can be done.

Cogeo's model tweaker should do the same thing with an easier interface, but I have not tried this function out yet, so I can't say whether it is easier/harder than using the reader. It may be something worth considering, particularly if the creator is not still active to ask him or her to re-render as an off-set prop (which is by far the easiest option).

Thank you Matt for your interest here .  Having some Maxis's « Amill »  props offset in my plugins ( some work from BSC I think … ) I knew that’s possible with Ilive Reader . Tiedous process indeed ( have had a look about it ) , I don’t feel motivated enough and , most of all, I can’t consume more of my time with SC4 related works than I’m already consuming . We’ve all choices to make and priorities . That said , I’ll have a look at Cogeo’s model tweaker , never heard of it so far , to tell you the truth … 

...I like the ground cover, too, but I can't figure how you did it. Is it a terrain mod or plopable grass?


Joan

 

Thank you for your interesting comment Joan .   I think ploppables bushes , water & rocks from Jeronij ; weeds B & blue bonnet B from ChrisAdams ; roks from Orange_o , have no secrets for you .  The Terrain Mod is from Pegasus ( with Maxis’textures improved according to the elevation ) . The only thing you’re surely missing is ploppable gravel , mud & sand from Heblem :



Heblem is a passionate & passionating  creator , I’ve never seen something like that before ; so well integrated that , indeed , it looks like being a part of a Terrain Mod :




It can be found on the STEX :  HBS Tropical Flora Pack (Mayor Mode) .

... C'est un merveilleux travail mon ami. Tu m'as surpassé ...

Thanks papa Nardo !  Congratulations for your second son . 

« Le but n’est pas de surpasser les autres mais de se surpasser soi-même » . One day I’ll add some rail stuff … and I’ll do that thinking about you .

... Your rural scenes become some of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen from SC4 and give me great inspiration about again playing for my rural areas.

The return is pleasant and I look forward at more pictures for many days to come !

Ethan

Thank you Ethan    You’re a 3RR Team member and there’re surely similitudes there … Alas , I’m not David : I’m too much addicted to LotEditing and not enough patient for everything else … 

fabulous

Great to see you David … my friend .
Many surprises  from you are lying in wait in AntigOne , but that’s too early to speak about that . I’ve got first a lot of work to do with your priceless gift …

Take care .

This update, Cedric, was just enormissime.

Can't wait to see what you have for us about the ski resort.

The Holidays Resort is going to wait , I’m afraid of , Athur ,   but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed .  Thank you for your enthusiast comment .   (I really need to take time to comment your superb MD !    )

************************************************************************************


So the Holidays Resort is going to wait . For the time being , I’ve received a substantial workload from David while I was working about a seasonal wheat field . 8 props from Vincent (Vnaoned) , Lot and props timing Moding from me … ( maples from Girafe .)







Seen from LotEditor :



Have now to resize all these props so it will become possible to plop ChrisAdams’ wild flowers & weeds on these fields .

With Vincent’s approval I could release and then upload a modular set . So let me know what you think about it … 

Thanks for your visit .

Cédric.

Don't worry about Lot Editing, I am addicted too 

As for these part of AntigOne, they are quite fabulous ! I too enjoy much of Heblem's sands and other terrain features, and I often use them under plop water to give it a greater texture. You, however, used them in more beauty out of water on the field with the cow and scrub (and it looks gorgeous)

A feature of these road pictures I was almost blown by, was the realism of the power lines and walls next to the road... so beautiful !


Ethan

[Girafe]

When you post something, I am always sure that there will be amazing stuffs 

and I would say this time too 

The skill and style to do MD

I am impressed by the fields of Vincent, of all of us, he is really the biggest Guinea fowl, shy but talented, I am curious to see if he developped other things concerning farms 

ps: Message sent on your wanadoo box, let me know what do you think and want.

[kelis]

WOW, Aamazing update as always !

I Like your work in a Lot editor, It's very realistic my friend 

Continue with the great job 

[Tomas Neto]

Yeah..., amazing how you make the rural areas!!! They are perfect!!! Awesome work again!!! 

[Badsim]

Thank you .

Didn’t I forget the winter view ?



… in fact  I was still working on . With the first surprises ; new rural props & new trees (Populus) from David (Orange_o)

David , for various private reasons , has decided to stand back in order to assess his situation from any SC4 activities . That decision has been a painful one for him , and if it would be a definitive one … how terrible would be the loss for the whole community . Two days ago , I’ve received from him tens of  Models files , all little jewels , rural props  & seasonal trees with the liberty to build with them his Prop Pack Vol2 and upload it .

Well , this is how things are going to run : I’ve started to turn all these Models files into proper props . As soon as it will be done , I’ll post a picture of a test Lot with all these props . From there , I’ll start the Moding part ; resizing of Occupant sizes and timing of seasonnal trees .Then  I’ll merge them into a .Dat file that I’ll send him , requesting him to upload it on Toutsimcities’ stock exchange under his name ( I don’t want to do this part , that’s his work ! )

This Prop Pack Vol2 should be ready before the end of january , that’s all I can say .

I wouldn’t want to appear like a boring moralist but David being a friend of mine ,  that’s also for me an occasion to think about this : Do we really take care enough of all these great creators , are we really aware enough about all the time and love they put in their creations before to offer them us ? That’s easy to say and harder to see frontiers in a community  where everything is voluntary & unpaid … so comfortable world indeed .

As it should my last post (at least at AntigOne) before the end of 2010 , wish you all a merry Christmas .
Take care .

Cédric.

P.S. : Antoine , I’ve already sent you a PM yesterday , having had the time to look at your files , I’ll send you a second one before the end of the day .

[vester]

WoW, not sure what to write, but: WoW. Brilliant.

[io_bg]

I love your attention to details. Makes all your pictures so realistic.

[nbvc]

Great updates!

[RickD]

Fantastic pictures again.

I am very sorry to read about David. I really hope he gets his real life business sorted out, whatever it might be. And I hope that many of the lotmakers out there will make good use of his props to honor him and his work.

[Sciurus]

"Que j'appréciates que tu BATtes" (la faute, c'est fait exprès ^^).

Yes, I know you wait for few things, but patience, they'll arrive
For the pictures you presented, they're just excellent, but as I cannot speak in french there (or I would do a veeeeeeeeeeeeery long descprition), I'll stop my comment about it here

[TiFlo]

That last picture is fantastic. Everything is there. Even the small bushes of misteltoe in the trees. Absolutely fantastic!

[Terring7]

Cool, it looks like the rural Greece

[Battlecat]

Glorious updates!  Thanks for pointing out that terrain prop pack from Heblem!  I'm always excited to get some new tools and those are particularly impressive! 

I can't wait to get my hands on those new fields, they are full of amazing details.  The seasonal hay bales are a particularly cool touch! 

[ecoba]

Incredibly realistic ! It looks as if straight out of the French countryside...


Ethan

[Jmouse]

Wow! That picture is absolutely stunning! What a wonderful way to say good bye to an old year and welcome to a new one.

Happy holidays to one and all...

Cédric, travail impressionnant! Ma bouche est toujours sur le terrain

Cédric, awesome job! My mouth is still on the ground

                Your friend / Ton ami,
                                            Jordan

[art128]

Such attention to details and perfection to get the most realistic scene possible is rare, Cédric. And I must say you're by far one of the only guy who can do it.. Congrats my friend.

It's sad to hear Orange has stopped his SC4 works for some times, I hope we'll see him around again.

Take care,
-Arthur.

Amazing work in here. Your simply amazing at creating rural scenes.  All the colors just blend together amazingly. And I'm just loving all the Conifer forests. (It seems to be a phase I'm going through ATM. Perhaps it's the season. XD )

Also one thing, may I ask where you got those green bushes that are everywhere?
