Buddybuds Expansive Attempts at Anything & Everything.

nice new textures Bud!!!!!!!! can't wait for the e-rail to be released

[j-dub]

Buddybud, don't know if this has been asked before, but is this compatible with the El-Rail face-lift mod? Its just since that mod adds a bunch of zone dependent props like semi trailers, dumpsters, and shacks under the rail for industrial zones with a asphalt texture, then a cement texture for commercial zones, and a grass texture for residential zones; I noticed you have a different base texture with your mod as well if this will be able to allow that.

[buddybud]

j-dub....no because they both modify the same t21's. Unlike other mods my models for the el are made with both prop and 3ds files, the prop portion placed by t21. I could combine the two mods but the intention is to make mine unique. I don't mind the competition! The intention has always been to add my own junk underneath!

Ill be waitin dude, thats nice

[buddybud]

well i can't seem to find something i like....studying color photos of the old el it's obvious my textures are to bright for the wood. So following the advice of a couple people i darkened it considerably....much more realistic....still unsure though.

[deathtopumpkins]

I'm not sure about the darker texture... looks, I don't know, over-saturated?

[nerdly_dood]

I agree - I'd recommend reduced color saturation, and perhaps shinier rails? Still I like this new one a bit better than the brighter ones.

[buddybud]

how about this?....bit to much red me thinks and does need brighter tracks....hmmm...getting warmer....


here's a color example of what i'm trying to do for reference....


edit...well i think this is finally what i've settled on...i gotta just redo the railings now for the other pieces and i will put it all together.

[LE0]

Well i love it, it looks perfect imo

[Fresh Prince of SC4D]

Looks good -my suggestion is to add the railing on the sides.

[carkid1998]

nice I like how some planks are different colours!

[WC_EEND]

looks great bud!

[metasmurf]

I agree. The latest textures look good, so I think you're doing a wise choice settling for those. 

[just_a_guy]

This looks really cool. I also agree, those textures are much better. Just a question though. Besides these, will you in the future be doing a more modern version (like with  concrete or iron beams)? Since not all cities will look good with the older looking models.

hi just a guy

well right now i can't promise anything but to try to complete this as is. The only thing i can say for sure is that other styles could be included using different modding techniques by other people, team members or even possibly me. Ultimately the best approach would be something similar to the sam or new single rail. But for now i can only focus on 1 since it is such a large and complex undertaking!  I do understand how it is some what limiting but it's what appeals to me and what i visualize an el to be. After all these monstrosities ruled for almost a century!

[dragonshardz]

ooooh drool. make this into a draggable texture override and I am sold!

[sithlrd98]

looking good Buddy...like the darker brown texture!

[buddybud]

Little bit o progress.

[Alfred.Jones]

That looks excellent Buddybud! The texture looks fantastic

[metarvo]

Nice work, Bud.  The rail switches look really good.
