BSC - VIP team - Girafe's skills on the BAT

[noahclem]

Congratulations on your OSITM--and even more for your promotion to GM    You'll do an excellent job with both I'm sure

Already grabbed the Rowans, thanks a lot, and I'm quite happy with the way the Eucalyptus look now, especially in light of Matt's comment. Looking forward to the rest of the 4-in-1

Nice trees, Antoine. Thanks for the release!

[Simmer2]

Thank you Antoine 
I use your trees extensively in my cities....they are the best!!

Thanks a lot for the comments 

@ Noah, ty, hope I will do a good job as GM 



For today, I show you my WIP regarding the new design of Parisian bus shelter. Already implemented in Paris for few months now.
I think I will add these 2 models to the Parisian bus shelter family already uploaded to the LEX

I am still not sure about the render of the vegetal roof 

I will put another advertisement picture for one of the models to add diversity, if you have any in mind, feel free to post   

I heard about a third version with solar panel but did not find any picture of real life shelter - maybe it will be installed later, anyway there is no sun in Paris 

[art128]

I don't understand why RATP keeps putting money for new designs... The old one and even older one were seriously better than this one.

Anyway, great modeling as usual. I like the green roof, actually.

[c.p.]

Belated congrats on the OSITM

The new trees look great as always.

I like the idea of the green roof on the bus shelters.  I wonder if in-game they might look like planters in some situations.

[APSMS]

Well, some more iconic looking eucalyptus trees would be nice, done in the new standard. Jeronij's are a bit dated now, compared to c.p. and yours, so they kinda stand out a bit when I use them.

That being said, rainforest Eucalyptus are not unwelcome, and maybe some clever texture editing will allow you to make one model look like two different variants? Or I am speaking out of turn; I know next to nothing about model texturing.

Thanks for the Rowan trees btw. They look excellent, and more variety is always a good thing in SC4.

[noahclem]

Great work with the bus shelters    I recently read we're doing the same with the green ones here too and I like the way yours look. Any chance we could get tram stop versions? Maybe include a mirrored version and one without the side walls for that purpose? Diagonals could be useful too

[Terring7]

Bus shelters with green roofs? Bring them on!!

[Bipin]

Those green roofs are too good. Love 'em! 

[Simcoug]

Great looking bus shelters... as c.p. said, the greenery would also look fantastic on it's own as a planter bed prop 

[seraf]

I like the modeling and how the shelters look, although I have mixed feelings about the idea itself Anyway - great work

[Girafe]

Thanks a lot for your nice comments 

@ Arthur, yes a waste of money, the only good thing with this new design is the USB charger but useless for SC4 

@ Noah, if I am right, the bus shelters are not building but props, then you could add many as you want in a tram station 
I will keep the same for this new ones, in fact I will just add them to the props family. Besides I started a RATP tram station but the result is currently ugly, so i will not show anything 
Regarding a diag version for the shelter, yes it s easy but I am afraid about the amount of work with the road texture + bus zebras 

I did as well a simple RATP bus shelter (small one) really convenient for street but I don t remember why I did not include it to my package, I have to dig up this story



For tonight, I will show 2 little flora I am currently working on:

Dandelion flowers, I pretty sure everybody blow them during childhood  :



I developed long time ago hedges props, but today I would like to do an additional set, I am more thinking about an MMPS this time, based on the same system than Orange Aubrac walls. However I am still uncertain with the MMPS, not sure it is so useful for an hedge 

[art128]

The hedge could definitely be useful.

[vortext]

Hedges would definitely be welcome. It could work as MMP in similar fashion as CP's Lodgepole MMP, i.e. 8 meter stretches in various angles.

Also like the green roof, maybe seasonal bus shelter?! 

The dandelions look great. So happy to see you making flora again! 

[mgb204]

Your seasonal hedges are great, what I've always pined for though was some diagonal variants, dare I say it some FAR ones too.

Dandelions would be another useful addition, it's not like you can ever have too much variety when it comes to flora.

[manga rivotra]

Use hedges as MMP is a great idea because it will make lots and in game scenes with a far less linear aspect, I think it is a real and important addition to realism and to "break" the grid.
So thanks you ! 

[mattb325]

I definitely like the idea of hedges as an MMP, and these look great 

[matias93]

And as T21 median replacement for AVE-4?

[seraf]

Oh yes, the hedge looks very niiice  ... and you say it's seasonal?
