WIP Melbourne, Victoria

I noticed a significant lack of Australian maps in this game so decided to take matters into my own hands.
I'm not a professional modder or anything. I'm actually a noob at this stuff, so it will take a fair bit of time but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.

The Map roughly covers this area of Melbourne, so the CBD.


Here's the region in blender


I'm using OSM and other GIS tools to help.

Some notable places:

1) The MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground)
2)Fitzroy Gardens
3)The Yarra River
4)Carlton and Fitzroy gardens



A lot more is to come, and I'll try posting an update every week or so.

 

this is sick! Love to see an Australian city being made in BeamNG!

 

Love this man, is it also possible to add some suburban areas like melton and shtuff?

 

Honestly mate, making the CBD itself is a quite a daunting task on its own.
If it ends up semi-presentable then yeah, no problem with the inner suburbs and all

 

Nice, I see my house hehe

 

Pretty hyped for this. I had considered doing it myself a couple of weeks ago but I'm not good enough to make it happen

 

FH3 but you’re locked in Surfers Paradise.

Jokes aside i really like this map.

Is it gonna feature small roads like back roads or alleys?

 

Yeah, all roads in that area will be drivable

 

it's so cool to see the place where i lives in beamng

 

Looks good, I'm hyped.

 

hey when finished its going to be on the repo and THIS LOOKS AWESOME more australian content to the game is nice
--- Post updated ---
would go perfectly to another mod i saw on the forums

 

I hope it will have the Ring Road from Greensborough to The Westgate Bridge so we can do timed runs around the Ring Rd, Also it would be awesome if Geelong was included as you need to go really fast past Werribee along that freeway so you don't get a chance to smell the local sewage farm.. I'd love to drive up to Whittlesea through to Kinglake West onto Flowerdale heading out to Yea and back via the Melba Hwy towards Ringwood heading back towards Melbourne City.. Yeah I'm dreaming, That would be a very big map size..

 

any updates ?

 

Yeah, as of now, i'm refining and adding some extra buildings

 

nice hope the project goes well

 

thats too big

 

yeah the develepor already has done most of the models and whe shouldnt bruden him

 

like melbourne to geelong is like 50-70 ish km

 

I've actually used a software to get the buildings, but yeah i've got to completely change most of them as the heights and shapes are innacurate

 

oh understood
