    Project One
    Bob's Basic Balance Mod (including Light version)

    The main purpose of this mod is to reduce the burden with large cities crashing or lagging. It has several minor tweaks in order to halt the number of calculations needed for the simulation. It reduces the number of agents per building (i.e. when multiple citizens share the same building or too many ressources are produced per building). Agents should be spread out accross more buildings. So you should place more buildings per map.

    Hey, very nice projects! I'm intrigued about your first project. I would test it if I had a big city :p I guess I'll have to wait for other people's reviews.

    Your models look really nice, the textures are very well done and new low density buildings are very much needed. Keep the good work!

    very nice work - some of these might suite the modding tutorial project. It is quite a good idea to start with a completed model and "reconstruct " it in stages if you are trying to make a tutorial.

    Great ideas! Anything to reduce lag will always be appreciated. I'll try out the beta if I ever manage get a larger city built.

    Those buildings look great as well! The game could definitely use more mid/low-rises.

    Your buildings look great. I really like the last one that have an wall where the neighbouring house have been torn down.
    There is one idea I would try to put seed in your brain and that is dirt.

    Thanks everyone! I wish I had more time to put on it. I'm graduating this year.. I'm doing my best.

    I accidentaly overwritted the 2012 version. /Facepalm. I will resume that Project and try to release a 2012 version when I finish texturing the offices.

    Bob,

    Please don't abandon this project! The small offices are needed so badly and they look fantastic. That corner office looks especially useful. If I have one suggestion after looking at what you have now, I'd say to add some more roof junk. I don't know how time consuming it is to do that but the best models have good looking roofs.

    I remember on the old forum there were a couple of projects somewhat like this and those modders never finished their work, they just abandoned the project and never returned. So please Bob, don't do that, because I think we're all really looking forward to these now.

    Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the finished versions.

    I'm a bit stalled waiting for LOD tutorials and such. Don't worry, I'm commencing other projects in the meantime. Here're some images from a Sports Pack.

    I can't get Nvidia Photoshop tools to work with PS too, so I'm sticking with Crazybump to create Bump/Normal maps. I've tried 3 versions of PS portable. My last resort is an old CS2 hard copy sitting around *somewhere*. =P

    I'm still in the proccess of reducing complexity. Poly count was 25K for the "camp couvert" and 50K for the society soccer field. I plan to release that society soccer field if poly count is under 6K, it's almost 7K as I'm writing this. (Those pesky soccer shelters are 1,2K)

    They are 40x80m and 130x100m, respectively.
