Simmer's Lotting Lab.

[c.p.]

Incredible lotting, as usual

[Simmer2]

Thank you! I try my best to make things as realistic as possible. As I go along building the lot, I create the models needed to fulfill the scenario.

This is the North East corner, the water supply pond...done!

Excellent work!  All very harmonious and beautiful

What a dirty little corner. I absolutely love the rusty water tower and that water texture - so darn realistic looking.

[Gugu3]

Excellent work!

[Simmer2]

Thank you for the kind words 

Well this is the last dump of pics I'm going to post on this lot. Hopefully soon you will see it, up close in your cities...
Pay attention and you will see even more props and scenes never seen before.

So make sure your seat belt is on and your table is in the upright position....

Excellent Work - no words 

[carlfatal]

Simply stunning! 

Btw, a huge thank you for the new nsb rail textures. This set is soooo useful.

Still working exclusively on the Roundhouse project.

I was not happy with the turntable animation sequence therefore I'm re-rendering all the angles again. Each render takes 2 hours....

wait, what?? "turntable animation"?? You are not going to... 

[Nevermore]

Simmer, you are crazy   Masterpiece 

[c.p.]

"Turntable animation" sounds very interesting

Some fun (and creative) details on this lot.  For example, the hose going down into the pond is great.

[Simmer2]

Like I said a few posts ago, it is not possible to make a full animation with an HD prop, also you cannot make animations with anything bigger than a cubic tile.

I'm however implementing an alternative method to simulate animation with full sized HD props I made, by using an extensive database of timed exemplars I created just for this purpose. It is a very tedious and complex affair thus the time its taking to complete.

Here is turntable sequence 1 in GIF format, this sequence is made with 26 timed exemplars and spans 5 game hours (about 8 minutes in real time). I'm already working on sequence 2 and once done I will post the whole animation.

Please excuse the poor quality of this GIF.

No need to be sorry Nick.

The GIF is fine and there will be no problems with the final product. You are one of the best!

What you are doing here is quite ground breaking and will no doubt bring alot of players back.

I am especially impressed how you have been able to dress up the RRW so nicely

The lots you have made up for the content was missing for the Maxis Rail and I am so humbled to have you on board as a good colleague 

To many more fun times and great railway Journeys

+1 to you for all your hard effort!

Spectacular work on the roundhouse!  That was one piece of the rail puzzle in SC4 that I thought was lacking, so I am really excited to see this 

[bombardiere]

Very good work.  That is clever.

[feyss]

Wow, the level of awesomeness here 

[vortext]

yeah that looks really really cool! 

[Silur]

Everyone is waiting Your beautiful additions to rusty and wild SC4 Railways
