Metasmurf's lotshowcase

[Patriots1228]

you should definetely upload these somewhere, i would love to have them.

i came into the lotting section to get a good laugh, usually lots are just a bunch of buildings smashed together.

instead ive seen some incredible lotting keep it up!

 metasmurf,
    The gardens look great,   That is what I meant.   Basically just something to feed the family with.    Excellent.

Excellent farms metasmurf. These are very believable

[metasmurf]

Sure I can release them in this thread, but beware the dependency list will be pretty big

Patriot1228:If that was your idea of lotting, then you have no idea of what lotting entails let alone modding afterwards to ensure it is a game asset. I suggest you learn abit about lotting by looking at these carefully and also some other threads. Look at what VillaV has done with Kwakelaar's buildings. Lotting is a skill and without it BATs are just buildings.

Metasmurf- the farms are coming along nicely.  I like the addition of the garden in the back of the lot(s)- it adds a nice flair to the whole lot.  I'll jump for joy if you choose to release these.

I think I agree with you Barby.   I have to admit something though...    I don't have a clue what modding is.   I have heard the term alot but never asked about it because I didn't want to feel stupid.    Well around here everyone knows I am lets say less than knowledgeable about things, so...    What the heck IS modding?     Are there tutorials about it?

Modding is short for modifying and is anything that changes properties of lots or the game - like the CAM or NAM. Lotting is the cosmetic side of production and modding the technical side.

Or, LOTting is like hairdressing and MODding is like liposuction.

...Shimmer is a floor wax...No, it's a dessert topping!!!

Whatever, I'm glad there's all you experts out there to do it so well.

Hmm . . . so I'm a plastic surgeon, eh?  Dr. NAM-0210 . . .      (okay, that was a truly atrocious one ).

Back on topic, those farms look absolutely incredible, metasmurf!   Very realistic, I might add, with the farm house and the barn, with the dirt road leading up to it.  I concur with Barby that there is definitely an art to lotting, and it seems to me that you're very good at it.  Keep it up!

wonderfull work i love the farms

[Glenni]

You asked me on MSN if i could do some boat props for you, as you told me you needed some, though, since my modeling skills on things such as boats and vehicles are crappy i found a temporary solution, i exported some models from gta, and rendered them for you. I am having some problems with the 5th boat prop though, it only appears in one of the 4 angles,  and looks rather skewy.


From top to bottom, the boats with their GTA names.
1. Marquis
2. Jetmax
3. Speeder
4 Reefer, with some editing so that i could use it for two boat props.
5. the one on the left, reefer, original model version, though that's the one i'm having problems with.

As soon as i got them all rendered succesfully i'll send them your way, i don't think i want to upload these on the STEX or LEX as they aren't mine , and from a licensed game...

EDIT: nevermind, i fixed the error.


Just waitin for ya on msn.

Very nice farms. Keep it up.

Hahahahaha! Now that was a good laugh! 

God if only opening up the LE was so, I don't know, brutal! I could assure you it would be less painstaking and a whole lot quicker! 

So, I echo the sentiments of our LEX Goddess up there.

Jag får väl återgälda hövligheten genom att säga att dina bondgårdar ser kanonfina ut (det gör de verkligen)!
Your farms look very good Metasmurf, keep it up!
If possible it would look more Scandinavian if You used some of Kwakelaar´s stuff, especially his barns look very good...

[City Builder]

All very nice looking can you tell me where you found the information to make these into growable farms?

[metasmurf]

It's been a while Anyway, I've started to compose some slope conforming farm lots. They're still in the first phase though.



It seems that there are no more foundation props to go with any other barns, so I guess it's up to someone with bat knowledge to make more 

[buddybud]

hey nice lots.

I've never worked with foundations before but i'm sure there must be some info on how to do that. It really can't be much more than a textured box....hmmm

[metasmurf]

Prolly by rendering it underneath the base line (don't know which of x,y,z). Yes, it could be done but then I would have do know the size of the barn I would make a foundation for, and that's where the problem arise. So, I guess I would have to make a barn then
