Olasz' workshop

[zero7]

I like the livery on the grain truck.   

Hope you can resolve the problem affecting the roof.

[Olasz]

These are great i cant wait to get them in the game in my opinion there arnt enough vehiclesw even though ive went thruogh the downloads.

[Olasz]

thanks for the encouraging words.
this Mack Superliner will soon pass assembly and get its paint

[Olasz]

the Superliner/Titan is near completed (2160 triangles)

Oooooooooo WOW Olasz that superliner is looking magnificent - pat

[Olasz]

Thanks Pat, I can't stand finishing it and posting in-game pictures.
The positive side is the modular structure of the model so I can derive different versions with some additional work (after worked on this dozens of hours)

[Pat]

oooh wow i do wish you the best, its great to here now at least you have a base structure to use... I will be following here some more, i love biiiig rigs....

[Olasz]

happy to hear, and I hope your expectations would be met 

[sc4luv2]

Great truck ya got there!

I'm a Citizen!

[Olasz]

2670 triangles

[Pat]

WOW for nothing but triangles.... That is amazing truck!!!

[Meastro444]

isnt 2670 triangles a bit much for sim city 4? afaik the most you can do with it is around the 100-200 range.

anyway, it looks awesome, a sure download from me!

[Olasz]

Meastro, the automata in ga me on the previous page consist of slightly less triangles, but well over the 100-200 range. the same applies to Swamper's Vandy automata. So (yet) I am not worried.
Currently I am very pressed by RL, so I cannot predict when I could make a downloadable version (the last two tractors have not been put in game at all). Maybe if I cut from my plans... But thanks

Have done automatas with a lot less triangles.

A lot of details are lost in-side the game, so why have it ? It just slows down the game.

The front grill could be made up of 2 triangles and a fsh with an alpha.
The wheels could be made up 2 triangles and a fsh with an alpha. (Take a look at my trams and the in-game cars)

Remove all triangles that is hidden behind other triangles.

[ssc4k]

i agree with vester, the quality goes down in the game and you could delete some unseen trianglesand slim down some stuff. they llok great though 

[Olasz]

Yes, that makes sense to me.  I have been looking at all the lua scripts including vehicle.lua and thought that was possible.  I only have theory at the moment, as I haven't had time to carry out experiments to check my ideas.  

From your knowledge, can this also be applied to trains - as a ((tractor+short) + n x long) type shape would be a major thing for the rail buffs as it would allow steam locos with tenders.

What a shame:

   -- Road Vehicles Only: a list of one or more automata group names.  Any vehicle created from this group
   -- will have this list of trailer vehicles following it, like a train.
   -- Any automta group with the trailers property must also have its class_id set to that of
   -- cSC4TrailerVehicle ("0x4a5b69ed")
   trailers = type_list( "string" ),

Another limitation from the game engine that likely cannot be overcome

Wow Olasz...
Wonderful job!!
Can't wait to see it finished...
I wonder if i could create something like that...
