Pat: If I can manage both, I will.

LAR - River

First look at the new stuff. The water is now transparent, you can see the river bed beneath, and the items floating in the river will be in propfamilies, and be a lot more varied. Plus You will be able to see a preview of each piece when ploping it, no more guessing which way it goes.

Throw more crap in the sides of flow, because if these are actual LA River-pieces, we can assume that water's flow hasn't always been the same. Now it looks like a stripe in white background. Otherwise excellent job!

[RebaLynnTS]

Remember, these are only the BAT models for the main pieces, once they are on the lots, they will look a lot dirtier

Hi, I really like this project and I think it's a great addition for the game! I have a small suggestion to make you last BAT of the LAR more realistic. Maybe you can make the sides of the water stream less straight as water never flows in a straight line, even not on slopes. This picture shows a bit what I mean:

Hi, RebaLynnTS ...
One word - GREAT work ...
(and I think tag_one have right mind with line of water stream) 
Good Luck ...

[RebaLynnTS]

I'll see what I can do.

[RebaLynnTS]

It's not a big change, but I think it helps a lot.

Looks better! Can you do something with the downpour texture in a similar manner?

I was thinking about that myself, and I do have an idea.

For now, here is an update on the MSS.

[City Builder]

Very nice.  I really like your work.

[RebaLynnTS]

CB: Thank you, I like yours as well.

xxdita: how's this one?

[rooker1]

It's looking better and better each time.

I like it. LOL the closest I've been to seeing them myself is the car race in Grease, but that's a lot closer!  
Nicely improved!

[Pat]

Becca wow that is looking real sweet!!!

Very nice work you are doing here .
I like the many improvements that appear in each of your posts.
Whats nice is that you are taking the constructive and encouraging comments to heart,
and it shows just how it all helps.

the new textures on the MSS look almost perfect.
and the improvements to the water are much much better

I look forward to seeing how you progress

I think the only thing the MSS lacks is some grime, and dirt, and I have an idea on how to to that so it won't look the same on every piece.

I am now happy with the LAR, and will start rendering it, a little at a time. Going to make sure each piece is just right.

Nice work bec.. better be careful or you'll get promoted!

[tag_one]

Looks much more realistic now
I'm a big lover of concrete storm drains and I'm very glad you're making these 

[RebaLynnTS]

I already have plans for 308 LAR (River) pieces, and then there is also the Ditch and Stream sets I plan on doing.

Now, about the MSS .. would diagonal pieces be useful?

[SC4BOY]

I think that's up to you. This is one case where I don't think missing diagonal pieces is much of a big deal.. just IMO.. Most things I like diagonals, but truly I've never seen one of those that was diagonal.
