Kalvin Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 This is a mod I made (out of pure boredom), replacing all the copy-pasted buildings on Ocean Drive with new ones, (somewhat) based off of buildings found on the real Ocean Drive in Miami. Here are pictures of the buildings: There are obviously some bugs I need to iron out, also improving of some stuff; changing textures, bits of buildings, etc.But I'm just showing off my progress as it is now - while typing this I already have several things on mind to change and fix, but I'd appreciate your criticisms, ideas, and the like.

Agem Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) All of them look really well done, Kalvin, well done! but I'd appreciate your criticisms, ideas, and the like. Sweet! In that case, could you make the Decowalk more accurate to the real one like you were doing? Edited May 3, 2014 by Mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.s Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Add some prelighting/vertex colouring and they will look even better. Edited May 4, 2014 by Frank.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, could you make the Decowalk more accurate to the real one like you were doing? Why don't you add some real time reflections to them windows instead of what you got there.

Usman55 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The buildings look too bright, the white ones look too white compared to others. Other than that, it's a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 They look so much better at night time! Thanks, a few of them I don't like how they look, so I'll be changing them. (The last two, being an example). Anyways, more news, need your opinion on this one. I made one of the buildings closer to its real life counterpart, do you guys prefer this version, or the previous? Old one: (It is an old picture as well, a few textures were changed but it's still pretty much the same) New one: Oh, and if you guys are wondering in the slightest what the buildings I took 'inspiration' from look like in real life, these are them. (Taken from Google Maps, arranged in order as to how they are in the first post - are also pretty big images, so proceed with caution. ) Usman55 1 Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameAS Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) I like the first one (the old one) but I don't like its colors of textures. I think that you should try the textures of the new one on the old one. Edited May 23, 2014 by FlameAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvin Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I swapped the colors of the old with the new (other than what you said with the "new with the old"), just to see how it looks: Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman55 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The colors/textures look much better now. I'd like to see them at day time. Can you show some more screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvin Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm not sure whether or not you mean the new one (the 'new one' from the original post), or the new new one (with the old colors on the new one) But here's some more pictures of the 'new new' one: Shine o' Vice | Vice City BETA Edition | Grand Theft Auto 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman55 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I don't get what you just said but the above screenshots look good enuff! Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameAS Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Oh I'm sorry, I didn't explain my idea well. By the old one I meant this building: Old one:(It is an old picture as well, a few textures were changed but it's still pretty much the same) My Idea is to use the previous building but with the green textures of the following building: New one: I hope that everything is realized.

TJGM Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Moved to Maps. I needed a reason to bump & ask a question So I assume you've gotten bored working on this and that's why it died out? Would love to see this complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvin Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Yeah, it did. Plus I lost the files as my old hard drive died, after I release BETA2 of SA BETA I'll probably start it back up.

Nihilist. Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I absolutely LOVE the idea of this mod. While I was working on Vice Cry, I've noticed there's so many doubled (sometimes even tripled) buildings on the Ocean Drive. So I'm happy to see an attempt to make this street unrepeatable, unique. However, models you've shown us, are mostly very simple - simpler than original Vice City ones. It'd be great if you could spend a little bit more time, add details, work on textures and make them look better, to match Ocean Drive's style and atmosphere. It's a very representative and recognizable district in Vice City, so it'd be great if you could expand its 80s flashiness instead of adding... Dull replacements for buildings (I'm not sure if this word seem a little offensive in this case, but all I'm trying to say is those buildings look generic and do not attract player's attention). Anyways, good luck with the mod - wish it best. Great to see people who still work with Vice City Kalvin and Jestic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Behind the limo. They did actually make more buildings for Ocean Drive (or at least, one). And they cut them. For f*cks sake, Rockstar.
