First time I saw your parks, I thought "Nice, another park...".

But now, especialls the ducks and swans

, great!

This is a level of detail I've never seen before.

Would be nice to have the animals also (please more!) as props.

Hey Lilith

I like the rocks very much and the texture. Where did you get the mossy granite texture from?

Lilith · December 28, 2010, 05:25:31 AM

I'm back, PC formatted, up to 3GB RAM to work better.

I just have to reinstall all programs and SC4 ...

Tomas Neto and Peter...

Thanks!

Hi Isabella ,

Having had a first look at your work , I thought immediately about the lack of feminine sensibility & touch in the SC4 world , « A bit of tenderness in a world of brutes »

I like very much the pond with ducks & swans . I don't remember to have already seen something like that ... ... that said , here's my little suggestion to make this pond looking less symmetric , less overloaded , more natural ( I.M.O.) :

Cal's water texture would be perfect with a more green-brown shade . A small fountain prop (effect) would fit nicely on the rocks .

That's also bringing me in mind how it would be great to have ducks & swans as separate props even if they should surely have to be overscaled ...

Interesting to follow your trials & progresses , nevertheless . Great work !

Cédric.

You're right, maybe I can take some things, but the swans in love NO!

I'll add some tests to see fountain effects, certainly.

Overscaled? You think they are too small? I tested in game and appear to the right size.

Oh, definitely I will create props with these sweet animals. I love them!

Give them to you, add me on MSN ... take it in my profile on the other forum.

overscaled = too large - but then again, the sims are overscaled, too.

I can only join the compliments, that pond looks lovely! I agree with Cédric about a more non-symmetric look, but the overall appearance is really something fresh - and something that shows the capabilities of HD rendering best.

Hi Lilith.
Your bats are amazing.
I can define your small lake with a single word: PERFECT.
Congratulations.
See you.
Nich

It was a little overscaled, more than anything else I wanted the duck to be more visible, but already adjusted

Thank you, Nich ....

Great to see you here.

Ok, these are ready. They will be available quickly.

Swans!

Ducks!

You're killing me in my anticipation!

Jesus, I do love 'em. No how about rabbits, pheasants, deers, foxes, wild cats, mountain lions, wolfs etc for my forests?

Just kidding!

Great work!

Take care!

Bernhard

Reikhardt · January 05, 2011, 01:57:45 PM

Really very nice work there! I already have a spot for the pond!

Badsim · January 06, 2011, 04:08:48 AM

Superb , brilliant ! Can't wait to get my hands on such little precious things ...

Ha ha ...

, I totally agree , Bernhard !

Thank you very much .

Framly · January 08, 2011, 03:48:04 PM

Awesome!

vortext · January 08, 2011, 03:48:45 PM

yes I agree, the more animals the better. Great work though, your duckies are peddling along as we speak, thank you very much!

Badsim · January 11, 2011, 01:10:38 AM

I've downloaded them from the LEX and saw them under LotEditor . They're irresistible ...

Thank you very much

Cédric.

Lilith · January 11, 2011, 03:13:16 PM

No more animals, for now...

Thank you all for comments.

I finished another pack of props, the modular paths with planters, statues, bridge and pond combined. I followed the suggestion of Badsim, less symmetric.

I could not use the water material of callagrafx, sorry.

They have custom LODs, other props can be placed above. In the pond can be added a fountain effect. I tried to put the lights, but I have not had a good result.

Une_ame · January 26, 2011, 02:43:21 AM

The result of your work is very good.

I imagine what a guy like Cedric (BadSim) can do which such materials.

Bravissimo.

Are you reading in my thoughts , Emmanuel ... or did you take control at distance of my computer ? ? ?

... I'm working on !

Lovely props , Lilith ( I need still to make them MMPloppables

) ... waiting for more coming from you .

Cédric.

Lilith · January 26, 2011, 05:40:22 AM

I knew you'd created beautiful things, Cédric, but the texture of water is not the best.

I stopped because I have to solve a problem with the pond, the shadows do not appear correctly. Also, I'm studying all part of modding of SC4PIM, and translating the guide for Italian.

That's because your props aren't set up with IsGroundModel=True , I'm working on ...

I'm working on too , I'm going to edit these Base textures from Pegasus , so the tiling borders would dissapear , but I like too much that color ...

I'm working , I'm working ...

Back at work .

Cédric.

Lilith · January 26, 2011, 07:11:06 AM

Cedric, do you have to just change the set-up to IsGroundModel = True?

Because do not work for me. Nothing, rien...no shadows.

Do You have a picture to show me , please?

Badsim · January 26, 2011, 07:45:01 AM

It does work fine for me :

To change False for True , you need to enter 0x01 ( with «Values as text » )

Once you've corrected them all , don't forget to « Reindex LotConfig » before to save .

Cédric.

Andreas · January 26, 2011, 09:15:15 AM

You don't have to ReIndex the LotConfig if you edit the prop exemplar file - this is only necessary if you added or removed a LotConfig property (prop or texture) from the lot exemplar file.
