Good one Sylvio.... you got me there!

Hope the day goes smoothly for you. Very nice pics of the aspens and the new gate in action. I'd love to give it a run myself if there are a few spares hanging around the 3RR warehouses. I find it amusing that you mention bending famliar things and then focus on the trees when there are streets in there doing things that I wouldn't have thought possible years ago (the aspens are pretty darn cool though). Makes me want to go out for a drive now that spring is here and everything is coming into bloom.

David sweet new pics there with the aspens and also the use of the gate!!!

[dedgren]

Oh, and I LOTted the first thing I've ever done besides trees and fences yesterday.



A brief to write today, then home to attack the old to-do list.  If you might happen to be waiting for something I've promised, this is the week patience pays off.

Later.

@ burgsabre87: this was the FIRST THING that popped into my head when I saw what David showed above. I immediately had to go look for this picture!

[Ryan B.]

This.   

I'll be here all week.

[metarvo]

Oh, my!  David's getting close to actual development.  Not only that, but it's a substation.    A power plant, in fact.

[Jonathan]

Can't wait to see what this week brings, so do what Pat says 

The lot looks great, and the pictures with aspens are amazing, makes me wish I living in 3RR

One thing I can't help noticing, on the dam the lights seem to be shining over the edge of the dam, not on the road, which seems a little strange to me?

Jonathan

EDIT:  My friend, that's so it's easier to toss the dynamite nearer to the fish...  John (Pegasus) aimed them that way- I don't have a clue.  The other odd thing about the dam is that it bows outward, not inward, in the middle.  It's a great BAT, but I wouldn't want to live below it in RL. -DE

Now that's a problem, I wouldn't live their either

[mayorfabz]

Did anyone else know that you could offset a long-ago BATted prop by hand-editing the "Vert" property in the object's S3D files?

Oh my God David I have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about, but I know for sure it is something I am going to be in awe of. You got us into that habit anyway.

David.. I have played around with Peg's Dam many a time, but never in my wildest dream could I have got it to look as good as you have done. Your flair for bringing reality to this game is, still to this day, amazing.

Oh.. it's sunny and t-shirt weather over here in Vancouver. We had our week of winter already! 

[nerdly_dood]

Ooh, we can have semi-realistic hydroelectric dams now!

[bob56]

what will he think of next!?! Maybe finally getting rid of the blocky water texture at the top of the dam? I don't know if that's even possible, but you find a way to do everything

EDIT to fix a grammatical error.

It's part of a BAT model, so it would be hard to do that. Not to mention that the creator of that dam model won't allow people to edit their files.

[wes.janson]

Well.. he is moving onto full-blown lotting now, so pretty soon he will be firing BAT and then we are all in trouble! 

[dedgren]

Here's what a quad would look like if I were developing one.





...what, what...?

Oh, wait a minute... I am developing a quad, several in fact, over at Fred (mrbisonm) and Lynns' (lynncanox) Grand River Valley II project [linkie].  It's spare time rec when I need to step back and take a break from what I'm doing here, plus I'm using it as a testbed to try out a new thing or two.  There are many fine folks participating- it's well worth spending some time looking.

Boy- so many things to see, so little time.  Well, in any event, enjoy!

David,

Any chance that you could provide a closer look at the water near the south edge of that quad? I would like to see what you did for detailing over there.

The overview reminds me of why I don't like to travel without a camera after summer. I like shooting pictures of fall trees in their fiery colors. I assume all the trees are sitting ploppable lots? If they are, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of them to add splashes of color to my region.

I believe you're right, and you most certanly will find them in here - http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=5603.0

Old road - new road...

Jan (Swamper77), I just happened to have some pics of Clear Creek taken last fall.







As Silvio (Rayden) noted, the 3RR seasonal tree lot sets are on the 3RREX at the linkie he provided.  I have an expanded set ready to post that includes Brian's old (brighter colored) seasonals as soon as I can take the time.

Later.

David,

Thanks for providing a closer look at Clear Creek. The game's wave effects give it the impression that it is moving, which is kind of neat. I'm looking forward to the new seasonal tree lots.
