That and you are amazing.  Super work as always. 
Do you have any new news on the VW Plant?  Not pushing, just wandering.

lol sure you aint pushing there Robin we know the deep dark secert lol.... Jestarr that is looking real great and so what is the name of this factory..

[Andreas]

There are 556 windows in this thing.  Thank God for the array tool.

It's like creating skycrapers, but in the other direction. As usual, very promising work so far, and we can't have enough of those "canal buildings".

[Serkanner]

I fully agree with Andreas on this one ... never enough canal buildings. Knowing jestarr's quality I already know it will be great.

Earthscraper?

[toxicpiano]

Very cool! Reminds me of old 18th century warehouses build in the london docklands.

Just went on a downloading spree! 
Great work man

[jestarr]

So, I've started working on the roof junk.  Some will stay, some go, and some will stay, but in a modified form (particularly the end roof building).  Anyway here's a pic of it's current state.  Cheers!

Looks like a large Soviet Factory to me, so maybe Moscow Toilet Paper Generating Facility

Very nice, look forward to this one, fits my cities perfectly

Hello Jestarr,

I'm very impressed with your latest creation - excellent work!


I do, have a question for you though. On one of your last BATs you used a covered hopper. I was wondering what scaling rule you used for it? I also made one based on an HO scale model (55' ACF Covered Hopper) that ended up being longer than a tile. I noticed yours are shorter and was wondering if I made a mistake with mine. Here is what mine looks like, not too bad, but not good either. I would also like to hear about your "RoadUnit" prop. I have always wanted to re-texture it, but never had a chance to make a GP40/GP38-2 on my own.

[jestarr]

@Frankie:  Mine was based on a 40 ft. hopper which I extended slightly so it would look better in-game.  The road unit is a fairly generic locomotive.  I was going to make a tutorial on how I did it, but didn't really have the time to finish it.

I don't know if this was at all what you were going for but it more and more reminds me of the isle of dogs 
If you're interested, take a look at these and see if you can see where I'm coming from

Looks fantastic!

[jestarr]

Glad you all like it.   OK, here's a pic of my first in-game render.  This was to check to see if the textures held up.  I'm not very happy with the window texture, so it's history.  Most everything else isn't too bad, although, I can see some areas that need tweaking (both textures and model).  Cheers!

Jestarr i do think the building overall is turning out very good and keep up the hard work - pat

[toxicpiano]

Jestarr, Do you make your own brick textures?

[Andreas]

Wow, that's one massive building! Truly an "earthscraper", as RippleJet called it.

[jestarr]

@toxicpiano:  Yes and no.  I get my basic brick textures, mostly, from Acme Brick.  I then rework them using techniques I got from Gascooker, Jeronij and Simgoober.

@Andreas:  It did kind of grow, didn't it.

[mightygoose]

that acme thing has solved so many of my problems with brickwork, thanks for sharing such a wonderful resource.
