Woooow it's work of a graphic designer that   

A big cheer    And thank for your lot 

[jayo]

  Now,how about some country houses,eh?

[Yoman]

Hmm, I could see how this could be quite hard. But would it be possible to make a version for Jeronij's canal set? I tend to use that one alot more.

[callagrafx]

On the list to do    Hopefully it shouldn't be a problem as all the headaches should be sorted.  Will update when I have more news.

[Yoman]

Awesome

[jacqulina]

awesome work yet again lee,how are you my friend

[callagrafx]

Thank you everyone (and a big hello to Jac) and I hope you are enjoying it.

After the bridge was done, I decided to see what I could do in terms of re-texturing Simgoober's canals, who has most generously given me his original models of the sets.  I've been playing around and so far have done this:



There are still some texture issues and lighting problems that seem inherent in BAT and BAT4Max, in that larger models render slightly darker, so I have been testing to find the best level.  I have the overflow now matching the rest of the walls, just need to sort out the pedalo dock.

Nice work Cal, I think this would be great to birng some extra variety to limited canal pieces we have available. I'm assuming that any BATs with canal sections included would have to be re-rendered with your new water to fit in though?

wow! I love these. The water texture is excellent. A version of your Gateshead Bridge with these new canals would be the most awesome thing ever 

[callagrafx]

Fraid so...I can release the model with the new textures but they are in 3DSMax 9 as GMAX doesn't have raytrace capability, so the application is a little limited.  The upside is though I may expand on the set.  If there's something specific, mention it here and I'll add it to the list if it's feasible.

Thanks mjig..it was the bridge that made me want to start this...so yes, there will be another version of the bridge, plus a version for Jeroni's superb canal set as well.

The upside is though I may expand on the set.  If there's something specific, mention it here and I'll add it to the list if it's feasible.

Sweet! An aqueduct-type thing would be cool. Also some kind of coal drop, where a rail line hangs out over the canal for unloading coal trucks into barges. Im not sure thats the right name though, Google gave me loads of crap instea dof a nice pic to show you.
