Title: squidis lot showcase
Post by: squidi on January 25, 2008, 03:38:09 PM
NOTE:

all lots are made to fit in my city and not to share
some of them arent really finished
i posted them here becouse i was asked to share my lots so tell me what lots you like dislike or any other suggestions or questions
if you tell me i will post more views from them
if i got some feedback i will look to minimize the dependensies or what else could be changed to make them more compatible to other citys

i think thats all fore now and hope to get some feedback

Wonderful work here, squidi! They all look great, but numbers 2 and 3 are my favorites, especially 3. What building (or buildings) are you using in that one, because I don't remember seeing that before?
Title: Re: squidis lot showcase
Post by: squidi on January 26, 2008, 01:38:15 AM
ah! some feedback :)
its good to hear that you like 2 and 3 Dustin i think it will not be very hard to minimize there deps and they are also not completly finished.

I like them alot, great job. What are the colourful trees you have used? (not CPs, the others)
Title: Re: squidis lot showcase
Post by: squidi on January 26, 2008, 02:16:23 AM
i think the trees you mean are from the Mas71_Models_JPM_SAKURA.dat

you will find the trees in mas71 prop pack vol2

Hi Squid,

Nice lots there.  Are they all ploppable landmark lots?

I think my favourites are 8 and 9.

Number 8 looks as though it could be some kind of government building - the use of the parking areas is very good.

Number 9 is a nice large square, nice choice of textures.  I think my only comment would be that maybe it nees a few more people on it to give it a bit more "life".

Nice to see your work here.

becouse i am working this time on some other things i havnt done much for my lots
but i have something for lotters that could be intresting

a set of overlay textures (still growing)
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg100.imageshack.us%2Fimg100%2F3589%2Ftexturesgh9.jpg&hash=3ddac55eedf87d8bcfafebfec48008107b3e6f3a)

some of them are looking very similar but there are some differents with the white borders (the borders were very important for me :))

actually they just fitting with the base texture i normally use
but i have all the color and alpha bmp files so you need just a few clicks to make them fit to the textures of your like

let me know if you are intrested and i will give you the bmp files

the dat file is attached

Ahh, very nice work squidi, and i especially like the use of the modified super block you have going on in 1 and 6. Keep up the good work!  &apls

the lots i have acrually made were all just to fit in my city but now i have an idea to make something to share for the community.
when i was asked to share my lots i didnt thought it would make sence becouse the bats normally have good lots
what i am thinking about now is to make a set of filler lots like  modular car park lots  modular plaza  and park lots
you may think all this already exsist in different versions but what me brought to this idea were all the textures i have made
i think it would be nice to use them and to fit with the sidewalks i could also add the fitting sidewalk mod i use.
this way you can have plazas carparks and filler all fitting with your sidewalks.
i also thought about a mod to override the maxis base textures with the fitting texture for this set.
i would be intressted what you think about this idea and if there are a necessitie for this.
i also would like to add that this would not mean no texture variations in your city . the textures i made have all fitting curbs in it to make a good crossing to other base textures i could use in some plaza lots.
so tell me what you think about this

This sounds fantastic.  Anything made by you would be a great addition to the game.  As you start to make stuff you'll get lots of feed back, just becareful of the number of depedencies you use.  ;)

I like your China Town stuff the most great work. Got a Q what prop pack are those cars your using from? Im gonna make a few eye candy seires of parking lots for areas that functional ones wouldnt look right in since they dont have that non pavement look.

Thanks
