Description: It's gonna be a little italian hood with a market and a skyscraper.

 

 

Sorry bout it says 'illcom_c2_r9. I wanted to take this lot , but somebody took it (i'm thinking about running over Eclipse with a caddy ) so i'm taking this lot. I've just began working on it.

Pic 2..isn't pic 2. It's a .zip of a clover.

@Wizkid: Problem. How is the car on the bridge going to get out of there, if the other car is parked?

[BCspeed34]

I know this has nothing to do with conversions, but does anyone have links to Buchsi's vehicles? My MI says the Ant while I have the Faggio, and I need the file. Also his boat, the Sabane, and his Hammer patriot.

 

For VC BTW.

[BCspeed34]

Time to get this thing back in action! I just re-installed Vice and MI on my new PC. So here is a new WIDESCREEN pic:

 

 

[wizkid4590]

Not, but it wasn't my idea to create there parking places.

[Cran.]

 

Extend that bridge and have parking spaces like i've shown in the blue.

[Blackadder.]

Hey people I present my First Building, EVER!

 

 

Constructive Criticism welcome so I can get better.

 

EDIT: Heres Very WIP Interiour

 

 

Theres gonna be a set of stairs that run up to roof. And Yes it's inspired by Tommy's/Scarface's Mansion

Cran, those spaces are too narrow to actually fit cars in. You could probably have the row of spaces along the front edge, but not along the back edge as well. Making the bridge as wide as the first building is a good idea but it means losing the entrance block for the roof.

 

Secretly, I'm with aad on this: I think the spaces on the roof are unrealistic and unecessary. I wanted to find some way of letting wizkid keep them but there isn't enough space. There is lots of realistic parking spaces at ground level, so I think the building doesn't need parking on the rooves.

 

Making the main building on storey higher and having offices in it sounds nice. But with so many interiors built without using the proper interior system, MISA is going to lag worse than GTASA. I think it would be best to have the extra storey for offices but don't have an interior for it.

 

(EDIT) Thanks for paying attention to what people are saying, wizkid.

why don't you just make the roof section completely rectangular and extend it forward towards the edge of the lower parking spaces and put the supporting pillars back in, this way the ramp can stay as it is and the parking space on the roof will also be adequate, and get rid of the pointless box thing in the middle of the roof.

 

on a side note, those pics of mine that were posted by locO G show radiosity lighting mixed with the Night Vertex Lighting (NVC)

 

[Blackadder.]

What is the proper way of Interiour Objects? To make them a complete different Object?

[BenMillard]

Fido, this is the Lot Requests topic. You can ask for a lot, but you can't just storm and and say "This bit is mine now"!

 

Cran, I guess you'd just trace the shape using a graphics program which supports layers. I think it should keep the current colour-coding and text because it's a map of lot ownership, not a radar map of what's actually there.

New screens :

wizkid4590:That's the one! Even the poorest driver could park a Rhino up ther now!

However, I'm not so sure about the sloping glass.

 

[lord fido]

I feel ignored.

 

wizkid: nice lot you got there!

[lord fido]

[ ] Sorry, didn't mean to be like that. I've never done this before. [/ ]

 

 

 

Hello,

 

Could I rent lot: illcom_c2_r9?

 

 

So lets start again:

 

Hello.

 

Could I rent lot:

 

illcom_c3_r1?

 

 

 

 

[locO G]

This topic is getting out of hand!

We need "ONE" map which shows everything!

Allocation, theme and .IDE number/name.

 

Filling up illcom is the easy part... (ha ha ha)!

No it's not!

When we move over to the 'Northern Islands', it's going to have to change!

 

We all need to get a handle on the bigger picture.

Or... leave it all to the likes of Gforce/ illspirit/ et al.

That's not on!

 

I could go on...

I won't It's too late.

lord fido,

I think, no.

Your max skills are insufficiently developed. I don't see application of modifiers in your model. Study 3dsmax and then request lot.

P.S. I've taken an old computer (3ds max doesn't work) from my friend. But at once after the salary in the end of August I'll buy new middle-end PC!

[Cran.]

Cran, those spaces are too narrow to actually fit cars in.

Not really to scale, just doing it roughly

[toooomas]

 

I feel ignored. 

 

 

wizkid: nice lot you got there!

 

lord fido: Your project is so unfinished, that there is very hard to say something about that. You could atleast put default gray (I belive you use 3Ds max)material (color) on the buildings. That way they look more as a concept together. No offence, but at the moment it feels like you have placed a bunch of boxes and a sphere on the lot.

 

wizkid4590: That parking house is very good work. Hope to see it on the game. There seems to be a mesh error on the last upper picture.

But altogether very good work.

 

blackadder18: The house needs quite a lot of work, before it could be taken serious. I mean to be put on the game.

[BenMillard]

Wizkid, why have you put the pillars in the way of cars driving to spaces on the ground floor? You could put the pillars on the edge of grass spaces, out of people's way. Also, it looks like you've stretched the blue glass of the main building right across the tunnel people use to park at ground level.

 

There doesn't seem to be much support for that big concrete overhang. I'd suggest adding a concrete beam between each pillar, and from each pillar to the main building. Look at the car parks in Las Venturas for ideas about this.

 

How do people get to the carpark from nearby roads?

 

Apart from these details, this new design is looking very good.

[Blackadder.]

More interiour, Basic Layout done, Stairs are going to be outside and I need to do some extruding.

I think once the Nothern islands are finished, we could export a SVG map directly from Max. It could include all the necessary information, and would be easily editable (since it's a text file). And it could be interactive, i.e. provide links to the release topic of certain lots. We would also be able to automatically generate it from a lot database in the future.

Does that mean you're working on the site again??

[steve-m]

Hehe, no, just mentioned it as possibility. And notice how it says "future"?

[Cran.]

Sounds good to me. How long do you think it would take to get up and working? Be good to get the north islands up soon ready for requests.

[toooomas]

blackadder18: I don't get it. What it is suppose to be / to became?

[Blackadder.]

It is meant to be a Mansion toooomas and like i said before, its very WIP. The walls are off so you can see interiour.

[Mercie]

What structures does Myriad still lack? Or need for that matter... I'll do something if I know what it is I can do at this point.

 

How about a car park Docks? Shipping depot?

[BenMillard]

 

Basic Layout done...

It's two flights of stairs, half a floor and four giant wooden legs.

 

A project as complicated as the interior of a plush mansion isn't something you can just knock up casually, BA. You need to research how real mansions are, look around the VC mansion in a map editor. You need to make sketches and brainstorm the features and rooms it will have.

 

Without some serious design work and really thinking it through, it will end up being very crappy and amateur. You can tell which parts of MIVC have been designed and built carefully when you're playing on them; their quality really stands out.
