Xannepans creations

Very nice! This will be another great addition to any W2W town.

FYI; I have just uploaded the museum version of "Musee d'Orsay" on the BSC private LEX for scrutineering. (Gare d'Orsay was already ready). Included are set of properties for the square in front of the museum.

And a bit more good news. I found one of my backup DVDs, which include the 3dsmax models of gare du nord and antwerp cathedral. As promised I will upload the 3dsmax files on the LEX asap.

1) Maybe included in one of xannepan's new bridge downloads.
2) Probably a part of BSC MEGA Props Misc Vol02 (the first dependency).

Out of curiosity, does one need the latest NAM version to get the new Parisian bridges? I have an older version and I can't find the bridges in any menu.

Thanks

[xannepan]

I'm doing some experiments on the paris seine river banks...

Also I need to find some time & esp. energy to finish making the lots for the buildings I still hav in store (rue de rivoli etc)...

That's beautiful !! We need something like that for our cities, great job mate. 

[Sciurus]

Excellent quais! (That's funny, the sentence is the same in english and in french )

[Schulmanator]

Your work is great. I will cheer for any new works for you. 

[noahclem]

Looks great!     Are those embankment walls a bit high though?

[Girafe]

good job 

but the textures don't fit so well.

The walls are too bright and the Rivoli's buildings are a little bit too pink

[supremec]

That's excellent   

[xannepan]

Still experimenting, but it is going in the right direction. In the screenshot you can see I intend to make corner pieces with different curve radius from sharp, to smooth, to very smooth. Placing these will be just a bit challenging but can be done (you have to adjust the river shores with the terrain tools a  bit).

I'm still struggling with the base textures, which are partly based textures on lots and partly included in the model. Now I come to think of it, it's better to create seperate models for base texture and for walls. That way it can be easier to adjust base texture independent from wall models.

Another item on my list is to add some variation (screenshots) to avoid repetition, although these particular models restrict the possibilites (as it requires seamless textures from piece to piece). I'm thinking of experimenting with prop families a bit.

Finally, I also have experimented a bit with lots. I figured out how to place props (trees) below ground level (with reader) and that gave some great results.

As for the colors, perhaps it has to do with the jpg compression. In my test city, everything blends in pretty well with my (and Porkies) Paris building set. But also here...: still experimenting to get the best result, so suggestions are appreciated.

The wall height is quite realistic when compared to RL (Paris). Basically these can be plopped at any ground level, but with this height (picture) ships can pass bridges that are build at similar height.

I was not convinced by the first picture but this second one is really good. I would say that you need darker texture where the water "hits" the walls.

Maybe to add small details which avoid the fact that it's too repetitive.

Feel free if you need trees for this wall set

Girafe: I agree that darker textures near the water would look better.  I did use already quite a gradient making the texture darker near the water. But the "level" of darkness towards the water  is really difficult to control, since the height of the river shore is different for each player(/map)
I posted some additional new screenshots in my previous post; in the second and third you can see how the walls look for different shore heights.
