Now that's a place I could get steadily drunk in  &apls &apls &apls  The only thing that maybe could do with a tweak is the roof texture, it looks a little clean for an English Pub  :D

You could be right, but my artistic skills are zero, so I'm procedural textures all the way ... I haven't figured out dirty tiled roofs yet.

Whoa! RP's back! Good to see you here. Just catching up with this thread. I like the Bright ideas Ltd ... it is really an eye catcher with the 'pink-ish' coloring scheme. The Royal Oak is looking nice as well with those hanging baskets, sign, and downspouts on the front facade. The roof is nice. Has a nice subtle gradient. The variations of roof pitch add a lot with that slanted bit on the end and the bump out in the rear. Well done.

Nice to be remembered  :)

Glad you like Bright Ideas Ltd, the colour scheme won't be popular with a lot of people, but I wanted something a little different and distinctive.

Aha...that explains it then.  No worries, but if you do ever want textures, just ask as I know my way around Photoshop.  This one attached is what I used for my Summerton Mill (mk II).
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it

if you see pink, red, light blue or even purple houses as i do each day here in Norway, that doesn't really bother you that much, here buildings have just about any colour... :D

This will probably not be released as other people are doing work that will make it redundant.  However, I've been playing around with the ploppable surface water idea and this is the result.



This is based on a 3x3 oversized prop with the lot a 1x1 in the centre.

It draws pretty heavily on a fairly famous British building - that will become clearer as the model progresses.  This render was just a test to see that the 3 floor module stacks OK.  This will end up at 20+ storeys.

Is it Trellick Tower?

I think I know what it is now (Balfron Tower):
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Balfrontower.jpg
Or am I wrong?

I didn't actually know about Balfron Tower.  I was taking my design cues from Trellick Tower - same thing; different location.  It's not meant to be a copy of the building, but the service tower connected by walkways is too distinctive not to appear on a building in the game.

E2a:  You changed your tower .... :D

Yeah I saw that it was a different building by the same architect lol.

Another day; another update.  The main block is now at it's full height and I've added boxes to show the positions of the service tower and secondary block of flats.  If I keep the lot tight it should be a 3x3.

Thanks Glenni - it would definitely be good to see garyreggae back, but not everyone disappears for a year and then starts BATting again!

For those of you who know me from when I was creating stuff as rp2005 and got used to calling me rp, just carry on ... those are my initials.  Or you could just use my name ... it's Richard.
