Re: Riverside Expressway What the..? This map looks amazing! My jaw just dropped. Excellent job buddy!
Re: Riverside Expressway i love this, could you make the cars have full reflections, like in sketch city? that would improve (imo) an already awesome map. thank you for this map, i have been on these roads many times.
Re: Riverside Expressway Just oh my god... I've never seen something this amazing in BeamNG. I was literally in awe as I read this post. I am so excited for the release of this, because it is downright amazing. Good luck!
Re: Riverside Expressway Hi everyone, Thanks for all the positive responses! It's occurred to me that I should probably show you the size of the map, it seems that some people think it'll be a huge city with airports, etc. In fact it's quite linear and focused on the expressway itself, with a bit of city tacked on the side. What you see below is what will be in the initial release. (imported from here) (The image above is 1.6km, or 1 mile, in width) Bright green roads and buildings are the pieces I have already completed. Red roads and buildings are not yet completed. Yellow brackets indicate the end of a road - I will place 'road closed' barriers there to stop people from driving into oblivion. Here's a shot of my modeling progress from Blender: (imported from here) I don't intent to expand the driveable area into Southbank or further into the city, because making additional buildings is quite labour-intensive and I'd like to avoid scope creep and get this finished. And if you want to know more details about what it'll look like at street level, open the location on Google Street View - anything you see there is going to be in the map.
Re: Riverside Expressway This is seriously the best map I've seen for BeamNG yet. This Is unbelievably awesome. When Calais finishes his HK Monaro we can have BeamNG Australia
Re: Riverside Expressway Oh hell yeah! having been to brisbane several times myself i LOVE the way the city is laid out with the highways and all! I seriously can't wait for this to be released, it looks outstanding.
Re: Riverside Expressway Still even tho it will be just the roadway n stuff like you show us, its so great. But how about a little extension to city on the north side there in the future ? (top)
Re: Riverside Expressway "to avoid project creep and get it done"....music to my eyes. This is an incredible map, I want cities and intersections so bad it's unreal. Getting j-beamed guardrails, light poles, bus stops etc. would definitely be my first attempt w/Blender and you just amplified that urge with this map. Thanks for making this. EDIT: Are you making new materials or textures for this....especially the traffic markings?
Re: Riverside Expressway I'm creating all new textures, except for the vegetation. Most of the textures are either from my personal library, photographed from the actual location or simply ripped from Google Street View.
Re: Riverside Expressway Looks fantastic! Could we possibly see a segment like above, but with a collision mesh and the LODs as well? I want to know how hopeful I should be that my craptop (see sig) may actually be able to run a "realistic" map!
Re: Riverside Expressway Not only is this truly impressive, you understand the concept of feature creep and project scope. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to ask the community! Lots of talented people here with knowledge to share. This looks amazing.
Re: Riverside Expressway The gif below shows a typical segment. Note that the collision mesh extends past the end of the road and tapers off to prevent wheels from snagging on the junction. (imported from here)
Re: Riverside Expressway I'm absolutely blown away man! Once you get this area finished you should definitely expand into more of the city! This is absolutely gorgeous though man keep doing what your doing man!
Re: Riverside Expressway The entire 1.6km length of the riverside expressway is now complete and in game. I just need to connect it up to the city-side roads and it'll be ready for a beta release. (imported from here) After that there will be a lot of buildings to model...
