Hi, everyone! This here is my place on SC4D where I take people's custom road / highway sign requests.
Here's a sample of some of the things I've been working on lately:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg300.imageshack.us%2Fimg300%2F5215%2Fnewscaledsignsfe0.png&hash=47b9764b269522944a469bcf3fc19de6c8d61210)
EDIT: Here is a shot of one of my signs in the Lot Editor (compared with a standard street light), and in zooms 3-5/6 of SC4. (Glenni: Thanks for posing the question.)

Here are the rules for requesting signs from me:
1) Post here / send me a PM containing:
a. Username / e-mail address (in case I can't get these posted on the LEX).
b. Sign details (routes, types of signs, etc.)
c. Whether you'd like them e-mailed to you or posted on the LEX for everyone to use.
As of right now, the only nations I'm good at BATing signs from are the United States, Canada, and maybe Australia. So, unfortunately, you'll be limited to choosing between those three national styles for now.
The Request Line is wide open - let me know what you want, and I'll get on it!
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for offering this service! Could you please make signs for US 91 and I-7 for me? I'm starting a new region that will (eventually) become a MD and would like some custom signs.
Also, how hard is it to change the text on your models in 3DS Max and would you be willing to share your models and tricks?
Cheers,
Kevin

BigSlark: Not a problem! What kind of signs are you looking for - standard route markers?

I'm not using 3DS Max. I'm using the BAT. I'll PM you sometime soon with information on how to do this.
very good Ryan, though, ain't they a bit too high and big? &mmm
Ryan,
I'd like the route markers and interchange signs (like the "North/South" with arrows pointing in the appropiate directions).
Also, just out of curiousity, did you know that I-22 has been assigned to US 78 freeway between Memphis and Birmingham?
Cheers,
Kevin
Kevin / BigSlark: I'm still having trouble picturing what you're wanting. You want something like the middle picture in my preview above with:
IH 7 [direction] and US 91 [direction], right?
Ryan,
Correct. And the junction signs, like the first picture from the left, but without the sign for the highway you're on, for both IH 7 and US 91.
I really appreciate this!
And I don't mind if they're on the LEX/STEX/Private FTP.
Cheers,
Kevin
Kevin / BigSlark: Sorry about the wait, but I've got the first sign done:

Let me know if this is to your liking, and if you'd like anything else. I'll proceed to get any changes you'll want, then go through the process of making it game-ready.
Ryan,
That's fine, RLS is a pain in the butt. If its not too much trouble, could you make a full range of directionals and blazers for both, including an US 91/IH 7 collection that indicates that this way is North on US 91 and right is North on IH 7 and left is South on IH7, so on so forth? ;D
I really, really, really appreciate this, I promise these will feature promintely in my new MD. Heck, if you post a tutorial on making these bad boys I'll end making them for every IH, US, State, and County highway in the region!
Ok, well, I may not go that far...but at least IH and US routes!
Cheers,
Kevin
Ryan I'd like 2 Signs please.
1. (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg69.imageshack.us%2Fimg69%2F5677%2Fdiagramlabelfreewayrequnf2.png&hash=9f862ab6e1bac674959fbeca280b1f0cc6131e73)

Thanks,

PS: Make the labels like the real sign would look like.
sc4luv2: Those will be a lot quicker to do than BigSlark's request, so I'll go ahead and get these out of the way.
EDIT: I have just found out that Oklahoma is phasing in a new state route marker. Here's a picture of a blank one:

sweeeet i think i will have to take you up on some of these service for a sign pack...
Eventualy but not now i just only have some major praises for you... Keep it up - pat
Sorry I'm such a pain, Ryan. There's absolutely no rush needed on my request. I still have around 65 cities to open, tree, build roads, and something that looks like backwater development before I even imagine starting a MD.
Cheers,
Kevin
i have a request, but take ur time. if u can do UK motorway signs, id like signs for M45, and M12.
please and thank you!
cheers, mike-
Mike,
In the first post of this thread, Ryan said he will only be doing signs from America, Canada, and maybe Australia. You will have to find someone else to have UK signs made for you.

sc4luv2: I have the first of your signs modeled. What do you think?

Ryan: That sign is great ya have there.
But maybe one more sign:

could you do these signs please :D? 1) http://aaroads.com/delaware/delaware050/i-095_nb_exit_005a_12.jpg

sc4luv2: Here are your second and third signs:

With that, your requests are modeled. They will be finished very soon.
rusummer1: I can only make the first two of your requests. They are both modeled, and pictured below:

With that, your requests are modeled. They will be finished very soon.
If you could, I'd appreciate a quick tutorial on making something akin to these... I'm contemplating doing route-shield-only signs (no directionals or arrows, just the "you are on this route" type) for all numbers (up to a thousand I think, eventually, especially if I can figure out how to do a menu-tab-loop) for the IH and California shield designs, but I've never made anything for SC4 before...
writingliberty: I suppose I should get a tutorial up and running. You're the second person to ask about one.
I'd like to write one, but I can't find the time to do so as of yet.
ATTENTION - All Interested Persons:
I have agreed to become the exclusive supplier of traffic signs for the 'Three Rivers Region' (3RR) collaboration. I will be posting updates of my work both here and in the 3RR thread.
Without further ado:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg256.imageshack.us%2Fimg256%2F4369%2Fp1northatp10sd6.png&hash=57a03518370e1cd651f638da73da9a0cb7a1c628)
Well, I'm certainly an interested person, and those signs look magnificent, Ryan! Excellent job! And if I didn't already say so, I'd jump on the sign making tutorial bandwagon, too! They're fantastic!
If you happen to continue to be taking requests, would you be able to do ones with non-standard icons or fonts? Specifically, I have a fantasy world made, with it's own language, and can provide you with either pictures of the whole signs or the font-file needed to make them look correct. Anyways, are you still open for requests, and if so, could you put me down for a set?
Thank you very much
Very good work! I will be sending you some requests in the future. &apls
I am no longer taking requests. The limited time that I have for sign BATing is reserved for the signs I need for my MD (go check out Orleans County in the Best Sellers if you haven't already), and my previous committments to the Three Rivers Region as Director, Department of Transportation.
