/me jumps around excitedly!

If you could send me the smaller update that would be brilliant, or even just put the main file somewhere other than Rapidshare - my ISP (BT) doesn't work with it at all (Invalid session).

File should be on the LFS Database any minute...

Jakg,

Haven't forgotten about you. But I couldn't send the zip over email and filefront is down atm. Will try again soon..

Rtsbasic, will hopefully get zip on filefront soon.

There's an AMD ad texture in there as well. Hope you don't mind

edit:

Ok, update is here--

download

did you get back to blackwoods car park? :spin: :star: (my star :P)

yep. it's in the new update. You can either get it from the download above, or from the whole package in the first post. I have to say, the carpark still isn't great, but it's a lot better than it was.

sweeeet

Small, superficial, update...

Blackwood curbs are now a bit more weathered/cracked. And the artificial runoff has a border at the repeating edge, which makes it look a bit neater. I'm picking nits here, but hey! Texturing is fun...

You can get the update here...

NOTE: please rename the file to "BWcurbs1.dds", ie, delete the 'rename' part. I had trouble uploading before, that's why the name change..


PS, I've just started work on South City. Therein lies the challenge..!

Looks great mate, its the small touches that matter Thanks for uploading somewhere other than rapidshare btw.

South City..big challenge. You have your work cut out for you, it looks good already, so your going to have to raise the bar Looking forward to it.

Here's a preview of the South City update

Things are almost nearing completion now- I guess the pack will be ready in another week or so, maybe a little longer. Or maybe I'm just being optimistic..? :rolleyes: Anyway not long. I'm really happy with this update, I think it will be the best one yet. I've really taken a lot of time trying to get things just right, so I hope it shows. Anyway, check out the previews below and see what you reckon. I'll try to hold off releasing anything until I'm sure it's ready...

Looks very, very, very Nice! :up:

A quick progress shot of the curb,

Been taking photos around Istanbul today. It's funny the looks you get from people when they see you taking a whole series of shots of the gutter!

dammit you gotta release that!

Awesome work so far! The kerb is amazing...

May I be permitted to pester you about M-VH signs. In the UK the company is called HMV, and the LFS version bugs me. I think it would look very nice with the corrected (albeit copyrighted) logo

I wanted to do it like that, but unfortunately Eric's modeled M-VH in giant fluroescent pink on top of the building (!) I can't do anything about that, so doing an HMV sign would maybe end up looking a bit inconsistent I guess . We have HMV in Melbourne too.. I know it's a rip-off but maybe Eric did it that way for a reason. I'm trying to stay true to Eric's world, the companies will all be the same, but the shops will all look different (for instance, there's a 'psychic readings' shop texture now ). I realize that working in low-res has it's advantages- the textures are a bit more vague, but in high-res due to the definition, everything stands out more, things are more naked. It's been hard sourcing textures which have that annonymous look about them which you kindof need when they're repeated everywhere. I think I'll just use 7-11 for the main shopping texture, as that's pretty much the way it looks in real life too!

Maybe I'll do the HMV sign, and then we can just imagine that some jerk got it wrong when they constructed the big sign. (He's no longer in the sign business anymore...)

Really awesome work! Can't wait to see them live in LFS.

Oh, and I need to ask- where is South City?

in England - if you need to knwo it's exact location, look at the original signs for directions!

One of the signs points to Twickenham, where Scawen lives though...

Yes the names are very English. Thanks Jagk

It's simply 'South London'. Some of the signs point to the A11 (which I think is North London only, and then heads towards me), some to Twickenham (South West London) and others to Bromley (East/South East London).

So it's simply 'South London', and not a fully accurate real life place.

I'm having trouble finding the correct font for the pharmacy sign.. Anyone know what it is?

edit:- PS, thanks for all the positve comments so far..

It's time to hit the hay (it's 5:48am :sleep2... + here's a couple of screens.

Setting sun in SO Town.

Nice work, looking brilliant. I espically like the appearance of Spar's, they're a common sight in the south of England. And the detail on the curbs etc is impressive.

Looks amazing Electrik Kar

lol and I thought that Spar was a Germany/Denmark thingie only.

Erm... Austrian, mate, austrian...

You can even find them in Italy...
