would make a good hotel. So, I made it into one, and as a little twist, made it for my retextured CAL/SG Canal set.

Just needs scrutineering and then it'll be good to go. It'll be a plop with jobs.
Heh...That's pretty cool...but I'd have to extent my canal system...which would be a pain...:P
Nice work with that. Will the reflection in the water be a part of it too or is that just a photoshop trick? The only thing I find slightly strange with the setup (but then again, I like the overall look) is that it doesn't seem to take advantage of the potential water view off the back. Very few windows facing out the back. However, that's a rather small thing. I'm looking forward to this release.

Wow, that looks pretty sweet. The only thing I really see missing is an overhang for the front entrance. Other than that it looks great.
I BATed the canal with the hotel in place for the very reason to get the reflection...As for not taking advantage, I sort of agree but the building model was simply an adaptation, plus this is a Holiday Inn Express, where the rooms are cheap and cheerful :thumbsup:
On a side note, I was playing with the water texture a bit and came up with this...

This is the original (retextured) version.

The problem is I'd need to re-render all the pieces again and the models would need to overwrite the previous release. A lot of work.
I really like it! I love the reflection! &apls
That is beautiful Lee! I love the reflection in the water $%Grinno$% and the small garden with the seat on the canal. Simply gorgeous :)
Awesome! I'm so glad you're still making pieces for your canal set, as I've just started using it in my city! &apls
@sithlrd98: Thanks! Although 3DSMax does all the real work :thumbsup: Although the new water texture is all mine. Still debating whether to do a replacement set.
@Alfred: The LOTing is 100% Barby. I suck at LOTing like you wouldn't believe.
@Girlfromverona: This was a spur of the moment idea, but I am thinking I should really expand the set somewhat in the near future :thumbsup:

Really?? Awesome!! I love your new canal set but it lacks the addon pieces that the original does. It is still awesome though ;)

You can call it a "minibus", but it is a repainted Ford Econoline Van from the 80's. I know what I steal for projects :P

And interestingly enough it appears in the middle of the canal for some reason...
Apart from that small detail which I can live with I love your canal set.

That sounds wonderful, May I be so bold as to request a functional raising bridge PEG style?
The problem now as I see it is that You updated SGs small coalwharf, but the barge would have a difficult time to pass under Your "modular" bridges...
Thanks for Your contributions anyhow!
