Serkanner showcase

Serkanner · September 24, 2007, 11:46:45 AM

With the release of the CAM everybodies desire to start lotting has increased tenfold ... and so did mine. I have however not specifically worked on a lot that will grow when you have the CAM is installed.

I like to show you something I have made to fit in with Simgoober's canal pieces, namely a recycling center. I am using the graet props by Simgoober, Pegasus, Jestarr and SFBT. I wanted to use railroads to "transport" the to-be-recycled stuff and of course need to use North Country Dude's wonderful texture pack.

With the release of a few different canal type I can now work on the creation of some extra variants of the same lot. Here are a few previews of the upcoming lot.

Expect the first lot on the LEX soon.

I like the look of that - it's a very nice piece of lot-building. I predict a slight problem with the CAL canals - namely that the lack of reflection is going to look a bit odd.

Great work Serkanner.

Could you tell me, those threes at the road side, in which prop pack do I find them ?

The willow tree is part of SG mega pack, and the darker gree tree is part of the SFBT essentials.

It looks like this is made for SG's original pack not the remake - although he probably could do one frome the new set if he chose to

Good stuff.

I like the base texture used on that one, but maybe a few more small shrubs and such, that's all I could suggest.

It's good to see more people making use of the Lot Editor. BATters are plenty, but us lotters are in short supply.

I'll be looking forward to more.

The birch tree on the right is also from the SFBT Essentials.

Anyway, this is looking great! I guess a version for the reworked canals can be done, it's simply a matter of changing the props (aren't the basic props auto-updating anyway if you install Cal's reworked version?). I figure that the dependency list will be quite long, but I'm sure most people have the majority of dependencies installed already.

Thank you everybody for the suggestions and compliments

Since my last post here I have been working on the lot and included the suggestions made here and elsewhere. I think this lot is as good as I can get it. Therefore I show you some screenshots of the final version which will be released to the LEX in a day or two ( depending on test results ).

Well ... nothing much to say anymore but to show you how it turned out.

Oh, I almost forget to tell that our master of industry jestarr has made some canal barges with garbage in it and has been very kind to allow me to use them on this lot ... and they are timed as well, which means sometimes you see it at the dock, but sometimes you don't.

Here are the shots:

Love the dirt, the garbage, the trash, the slime, the... realism for devoted players!

Andreas · September 28, 2007, 08:45:46 AM

This is a beautiful lot (as beautiful as trash can get

), and it adds so much realism to the game. Apparently, the owner makes quite some money with his trashy business, otherwise, I couldn't explain the expensive-looking Corvette that is parked next to the shed.

rooker1 · September 28, 2007, 09:14:09 AM

That looks great. I love lots like these. The dirtier the better. And the corvette, nice touch. Maybe it's the Mafia..... 8)

The blue truck is a timed prop from Simgoober. he has used it for the Hardun Coal Powerplant for instance. I lik this one so much I just had to use it.

The Corvette is part of a prop family and I just might have picked a rather high wealth one ... but as we all know garbage is a dirty business

Pat · September 28, 2007, 10:06:02 AM
