Hey guys gotta special treat for all you mall lovers!
After working with the Goddess and RippleJet this morning in trying to get the textures to work properly, I was able to finish the retexturing of the parking lots using SC4Jeeks Parking lot textures. These textures are not out yet but will make a LEX release near you soon! *wink wink* The lot that Heblem made exceeded the number of items in a lot 1280 items. I took over lotting and also replace the parking lot textures he had used because it didnt really look appealing imho. I also will be adding other goodies when i do the prop lotting part and will be posting pics of that in the next day or so. I hope. I have to work tomorrow and Thursday so that will take up most of my day. In the pics shown below, ignore the black hole you see in the comparison pic. I had missed those textures when I was replacing them. I hope you guys enjoy my progress on this massive lot and I look forward in presenting you the final product. Believe me there are things I have planned for this beautiful mall!



Again ignore the black hole you see or you may get sucked in!

Thats all for now and always: STAY TUNED!! :thumbsup:

Great job Ryan.  :thumbsup:

For the parking lot on my version of the lot, I'm thinking.... diagonals.  ;)

Oh, and Heblem, when you're ready go ahead and e-mail it to me, but no rush. :)

Filasimo

@ Travis: diags huh? make sure ya show a pic of that setup. it was pretty tricky to develop a uniformed parking area around the mall with the provided overlays and base textures i used  :thumbsup: btw ill give you a hint what I have in mind for the props....can you say family and seasonal?  :D

Quotecan you say family and seasonal?

No fair, I had that idea first.  :D  ::)

And indeed there will be diagonals, if I can find those textures. I do know the whereabouts of diagonal car props for sure though...  ;)

looks great! I really like the way its laid out, very realistic. I guess the only thing left for you to do is lights for the parking lots and maybe some flora?

Pat

porter-a bit uncalled for? I was so shocked at how excellent the BAT was i forgot about the lot.

so Filasimo nice work, those parking textures are fantastic. As i look at it more im seeing some even more impressive detailsin the lot. nice work!

Filasimo

All my pleasure! :thumbsup:

Heblem

Ryan Im amazed about your creative in that lot, thank you very much for lotting that mall i really appreaciate this  ;) if you need anything else just ask  ;D

hey all i am hoping to get the lighting phase of the lots done this weekend then moving onto the eyecandy and detail phase then finally the seasonal trees. I have been experimenting with different lightcones to use and i must say they are a pita to deal with bc one angle theyre fine and then another rotation and it appears offset. ive decided to wing it and make the best of it. i have work all day saturday so i will try to see if i have time to move on with the lighting phase if i decide to stay home...if not then daytime sunday i can do more work on it then show some treats. i do have a small treat for you guys of a shot of what the mall will look like at its busiest. i have used a prop family of cars during the day so the number of cars on the parking lot varies depending on the time of the day. apparently it starts to dwindle when it gets dark and is usually empty around 9pm but its sounds right the mall does close around that time right? if you want to show some cars on the parking lot at night, toggle the day night option and when the parking lots are close to its peak toggle the night time mode on and take a screenie. so yeah here is my timeline i have set for myself to get these lotting done in phases:
phase 1: parking texture lotting *completed* last tuesday
phase 2: car props lotting *completed* last wednesday
phase 3: adding the parking lot lights and light cones *50% completed* should be finished by sunday (tentative could be monday)
phase 4: adding prop detail and mall eyecandy *has not yet begun* (should proceed after completion of lightcones)
phase 5: adding cycledoggs seasonal trees *has not yet begun*
phase 6: adding the final details and finishing touches *has not yet begun*
phase 7: final modding and upload to the LEX *surprise surprise*

before i leave my treat as promised:

STAY TUNED!  ;)
