Hello!

This is my first project for GTAIV:

A Mountainous map full of roads and dirt tracks,

with the wish to create something that blends with the whole Liberty City map.

 

Thanks for the help to:

 

LegizLegiz - Paths.img NODs (Car Paths)

Terreur69Terreur69 - Radar.img tips to create the WTDs for the radar

Cool what program u used to build this map?

I guess CityScape btw u should make some tunnels and less bridge legs.

[Shotgunfan345]

cool keep it up

[WpeRek]

WoW, cool map, and screens.

[LeitoPL]

That's reminds me of the old NFS Hot Pursuit. Awesome

[Rob.Zombie]

Nice job. Can't wait to use it. Looks like a perfect map for drifting. Also can you take some screenshots without enb?

[Garju67]

Nice keep going

[Exxon]

That looks sick

 

You only need to resize it a bit, the roads look small compared to the car

[FV Mods]

Awesome , awesome! Textures match perfectly.

 

Made in CityScape by the looks of it (bridge legs)

[Exxon]

Cool, but stop using enb and use visual iv instead.

Why? ENB looks better

[69_black_69]

Damn, that's awesome. Love that foggy screenshot.

 

But show it without enb, please.

If it's still looking good without any visual enhancement mod, then .

[MrGrandis]

Oh my god! Very nice map!

I think that a narrower road fits this mountain more

I Read Cockwork Mouth, problem?

 

Besides that, good map ,good textures, good ENB, good car, everything seems to be good in this mod

[Exxon]

Nah, it just plays with you because the effects are so overwhelming.

 

Still, truth it, most people (more then 80%) play without enb, so the screens give a wrong expression, and those people will be disappointed

 

Trust me, with the right timecyc it's better without.

I really believe you, but I think ENB looks better.

For example, it makes cars have realistic reflections, instead of what IV has.

Also, the clouds look better. And, the sunflare is very nice. Something that SA has, but IV doesn't

 

But those people can see it's ENB, right?

They probably know that, so they can't really be disappointed.

THATS SO PERFECT AND RANDOM!!! So great my friend, what program are you using?

Im learning a bit of 3ds max so i hope i can help with basic modelling and such

[elMarcoPL]

Powala z nóg!

Last screen... Well what i have to say? Perfect job.

[Frank.s]

The base terrain looks great, can't wait to see it with vegetation + trees + details.

Any collission bugs? If the seperate objects are large then they might cause the collision to become weirdly bumpy. Chop it up into enough small peices and that sometimes fixes the problem. (i've seen that collision bug on a lot of maps made using CityScape so thats one reason i'm asking)

 

 

So great my friend, what program are you using?

It seems to be modeled in Autodesk CityScape, i suspected that when i first saw it and GTARandom said that the bridges look like CityScape ones too however the author hasn't said for certain what programs he used.

[buzzbass]

Nice

Nice map man. It looks really good. I hope you add trees on it. Most maps like this are lacking them.

[Squirlkiller]

That enb is godlike with the roads

[brian.]

Island looks awesome. I wanted to try this CityScape program, and it seems the website is down? I hope I didn't miss this soft? Can anyone point me to it in PM or?

Doesnt City Skape work like the editor in Far Cry 2 or Mod Naition Racers?

[Phantomkick]

holy damn! im so excited with this!

[MIXAZZZ]

Excellent! 5/5

[steel89ita]

First of all, thanks all for the replies!

I can't reply to everyone, but here some answers:

 

I'm using Cityscape to create the base terrain (bridges, roads and mountain) and 3ds max to do the rest.

For the first alpha test (v.0.0.1) I divided the terrain in small lots of 10-15k polys.

 

The building steps are these:

-basic modelling in cityscape

-basic terrain adjustments in 3ds max

-basic material assignment

-addition of stuff and split of the scene in more parts (woods/trees, grass, flowers...)

 

 

And here the screenshots from Vanilla GTAIV and EFLC (Remember, still v.0.0.1 First Alpha, the v.0.0.2 is under construction)

 

 

I have to realize how to add stuff like trees (if it's a procedural or I have to put them on the scene) but for now I have to do much work on the terrain!

[Frank.s]

Sounds good.

Thanks for the info, you really should make the terrain blend between lots of different textures, that would add much more detail than one texture. GIMS supports blended terrain materials too now.

EDIT: Are you using the demo version?

Looks great, add some *more procedural materials.

+1

He's already done some procedurals, they're visible in one of the new pictures btw.

[nkjellman]

Looks great.

 

Are you going to add trees? The trees depend. If you put Evergreen trees, Ill play it with LC's map, but if you add palm trees I would like to play it with Ghostown's map. If you did that this map would fit so nicely next to Ghostown. So much empty space this would fill nicely.
