Wow, wow, wow!!! Those curved roads are awesome! You are truly the master of SC4 realism.

...whistles innocently...

Textures to Alex (Tarkus) after dinner. We're going, btw, to have our 75,000th page view in about 30 minutes.

Later.

I know I just commented, but...

THIS IS PHENOMENAL!!

I cannot wait to have these roads in my game! You are making this game more realistic than I could ever have imagined. Thank you!

That last pic really says it all. You've given the grid a swift kick in the... well never mind where. It looks great. Nice for an afternoon drive. Two questions, how do they handle slopes, and will they support houses etc.? Always interesting to see what you come up with. Incidentally, 75018 right now. Congratulations.

I'm looking forward to it.

And congrats on hitting the big 75,000 and 3500, all in the same day!

And Matt, to answer your question, they should, once in puzzle piece form, work about like the NAM Curve Pieces in terms of their functionality.

Congrats to Silvio (Rayden) on getting that 3500th post as well.

well david,
you should start redesigning the entire grid system of the 3RR region now you have broken the grid

freedo50 · May 04, 2008, 03:10:11 AM

That just looks silly

.
Seriously, though - this this is awesome work David, I can't wait to see you working with those for a collaboration quad.

Congrats on more than 3500 replies here, David!

Looking forward to more...

Well, time to move ahead. Recently my good friend Silvio (Rayden) made the 3,500^thcomment here. We're a bunch of honors posts behind- the plan is one every other day or so this week to catch back up- but we might take Silvio a little out of turn, as we're working on his quad: Pink SW.

Here's the Atlas page.

The basic topo...

...and a "no trees" shot of the western side of the quad.

We'll be turning some further developments there as we prepare the quad for sending it to Silvio into the honors post, which is coming up soon

* * *

3RR hit 75,000 page views just after nine last night (AST - GMT-9).

We've had a lot of great new 3RR Regulars* join us- if you're still among the hundreds of lurkers out there we'd love to have you come join us- there's great things to come.

Later, my friends.

David

^* A 3RR Regular is, of course, anyone who has ever commented at least once here or over at 3RR-ST.

thats some new wicked stuff David!!! I cant belive it 75k page views more like almost 75300 now...

mightygoose · May 04, 2008, 06:36:32 PM

fan tastic work we are past 75300 now so that means at least 300 views in two posts, that in its self is an achievement, great work on the no orthogonal/diagonal straights, will be awesome to use in game...

Yoman · May 04, 2008, 06:53:53 PM

Alright, I'm back after my nearly week long period of solitude playing Grand Theft Auto IV, and well I've beat it which annoys me, because it was so good. But I see you've done some work here. Those roads look great. It seems like they might be a little wide, but it might be the angle.

Tarkus · May 04, 2008, 08:30:40 PM

A little progress report . . .

The straight piece is finished being pathed. I have a few little issues to fix on the Short (22.5 degree) Curve. The Long (67.5 degree) Curve still needs to be RULed and pathed, but I have the textures applied to the models already.

threestooges · May 04, 2008, 08:36:38 PM

My but you guys are efficient with this stuff; and it looks great too. Good work on it and I'll keep an eye out for the next update(s).

thundercrack83 · May 04, 2008, 08:37:04 PM

Looking good with those curves, Alex! I thought I was excited when the new NAM came out! These new curves have me on the edge of my seat!

And congrats to you, David, on reaching 75000+ views here! As of now, it's a 75351, so you're still climbing and climbing, my friend. And it's no wonder why, with all the fantastic stuff happening here on an almost constant basis!
