[REL] Moby's Construction Vehicles - RELEASED! (7/10)

[Moby]

Well it has been some time since my last thread in this forum, but that time has come once again.

I'm proud to bring you this set of construction objects, which are mostly different parts / positions for a heavy duty truck-mounted crane.
Many of you will have seen these cranes and trucks already in my ePark (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=11132324#post11132324) thread, if you've not go check it out there are plenty of pics of this set.


All objects have a diagonal version
All objects are quarter-tile placement
All objects are recolourable (except the cable)


DOWNLOAD (http://www.meganaut.com/mcv.html)


Here's the list of objects and icons;

I was going to include more vehicles, namely an alternative crane purely for raising the man-basket to the right height, but these objects do take a long time and i'm not sure that another crane is really needed. So i'm announcing this set now, with the aim to release v1 similar to how it is now. Any more new objects will arrive in v2.

This set is near completion (release), there's just a few minor points to check. Across the crane is the LIEBHERR logo, with a nice transparent background. I was thinking about replacing them with a billboard so peeps can customise it. However i'm now thinking it looks good as it is, and may leave it there as a tribute to the German community that have been so creative and professional with the game and this forum. Liebherr is a long standing, world leader in heavy duty construction machinery. Please give me your thoughts.


Here's some pics from the thread:

Keep on truckin'.

[Ligestio]

Another pack of you. In addition I see that great wing .

[gamer2456]

What about add dump truck to set we don't got any of them in any contraction set also nice contraction set.

[Krakatoa_Coo]

this is what I was waiting for! a good set of constuction stuff! your my hero!

[Brio94]

nice work!! :D:up:

[adiel19]

nice ;)

[FOgplaya]

another great cs moby!

[03gibbss]

I'm so glad to see this set released to the public! The models are fantastic! I can't wait to test them out! =]

[Adam_Thorpe]

Been waiting for these ever since I first saw them in your Epark thread, can't wait! :D

[veryConfused]

Hey, the set looks good, and I think the pieces will come in handy to most people, especially with what I am going to do in one of my parks.

BTW, e still stands for internet. ;)

[disneyworld]

Nice! better than my crane! I guess i am gonna drop it now that you are releasing this!

[Santas Helpers]

BTW, e still stands for internet. ;)

I just knew that would show up again some day...:haha::up:

Great set! This will definitely come in handy!

[godsmuffinman]

Hey, I'm very glad you decided to let share this with the rest of us. You do such a great job, I, and evryone else, truly appreciates it!
Also, for an idea, what about a truck with a wider trailer? For use as an 'oversized load' carrier.

[KPWoCkAxX]

I'm glad you're going to release this. It will really add a nice touch to any construction photos.

[{Freak}Rct3]

nice, ive been waiting for this ^^

Thanks very much.
How wide do you mean? Do you have a pic? The current truck is about 1.2 game tiles wide.

[RedOctoberRCT3]

Could I make a small request....a dump truck...like those that carry dirt?

[Vodhin]

Now this is a great idea carried out just right (maybe a bit high poly, but still should work well ;) )

[godsmuffinman]

^^^You're welcome. I'd just ask for a trailer wide enough for the track to not be on the edge but closer to the middle. Approximately 2 tiles, I suppose. Maybe have a 1 tile wide with the track in the dead center as well as a 2 tile wide with room for 2 centered tracks. Also, maybe lower it a little bit so the track is 'on' the trailer, not 'in' it. Just my suggestions. Thanks!

[Mr.Panda]

I love the truck. Everyone seems to want them too.

[Viscosity086]

No one can take this gift as it is...Everyone wants more and more...I will take this gift as it stands, as I understand it was difficult to make as it is.

[Ligestio]

You could make this device ?

Thank you

[Crispylad]

Thank you so much for deciding to release this! These are amazing!

^Those would be very nice. Mainly the footer drill.I do have a suggestion. I would like to see containers like you would see on a normal truck. Open from the top and closed(These also fit the truck.). These would help a lot.

[{Freak}Rct3]

now we just need gadget's new supports, and we got another great era for the game

[disneyworld]

I am about to pee myself! I just can't wait much longer!
But don't worry you can take as much time as you need Moby!

[coasterfreak]

Great looking set...This set looks like it was thought out very well....i can(t) wait to download. :) A suggestion, how about an animated cement mixer?

[rct3gamefreak]

0.o Can't wait

[godsmuffinman]

A suggestion, how about an animated cement mixer?

I LOVE that idea. Any cement mixer. I wouldn't care if it wasn't aniamted. Also, I'm glad that everyone is 'behaving' and making simple requests instead of posting stuff like this:
"OMG! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!11!!! WHERE IS TEH DOWNLOAD!!!! I NEED IT NOW!!!!1"

This makes me happy. :D

[williamsoft man]

cant wait to see this released!

[wackyworld]

These are looking great , they will be very helpfull .

[{Freak}Rct3]

what about a cabin

you always see the workers lunch and taking breaks in a cabin

they stand there in the back.
just a thought ;)

[Apophis_420]

This set looks awsome! I cant wait, i really like the truck! and the truck actually looks like its the proper scale.

[Phantom523]

I've been enjoying your ePark thread very much, and am very happy that you decided to share this with us!

Thank - You!!!

I've been hoping for this type of set for quite some time... and this one is sweet! I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks again. :D

[bereth14]

Sweet CS moby, release it soon please!

[Hotasflames99]

Yay! I am really wanting these! This is so great! Thanx Alot!

[Fisherman]

Wow! Best construction set so far! Great job, Moby!

-Derek

[Cyclone1001]

Sweet! I will get this when I go back to my house... in 3 weeks...

[freyno]

this is great cant wait until its released

[luke_1990]

Great set, Moby. It looks really realistic and professional, I like that they're re-colourable and I think that the German name tribute is a nice idea as you're right, they have done a lot.

[Battor77]

Can you give us any news ?

[coasterfreak]

^i was thinking the same thing. it has been awhile since the last update.

[Moby]

Thanks for the support everyone.

For those requests, I'm not really taking requests for this set, unless it applies to the already existing objects.

Right now i'm just not overly happy with the appearance of some of the larger metal polygons in the crane, and i want to see if they can be improved. That's really the only thing holding me back from releasing this set. The second last pic in the first post shows what i mean.

@luke - thanks.

[williamsoft man]

for the crane thing, why dont you make two?

one with a billboard and with the sign

[Battor77]

Can you publish beta versions ? We will give feedback.

I have a question, can you not apply space contraints; for insert objects on route for eg.

[{Freak}Rct3]

so i can't seem to find the appearence issues you are talking about. can you point them out so i can also think of something :P?

~CJ

[MagicMan]

Well if you look at the crane links they look almost like the Klinn Framework things. He's talking about something more metal looking.


EDIT: In my opinion Moby they are pretty much near real as you can get. Are they recolorable? If so then I think they are just fine.

Only thing that could make them look more real is more depth. LIke they have in this one. Which means more poly's most likely.

[gamer2456]

Moby are the wheel a circle face or texture mean like do for alpha sandwich and If the are A face try changes them to alpha texture. By Making alpha sandwich texture save on poly count A lot time find when circle faced wheel even if you lower them as far as you can there still going make a lot of poly.

[williamsoft man]

moby is there any news of a beta?

i really really need this set.

really need it.

[yesnt]

moby is there any news of a beta?

i really really need this set.

really need it.

You need to be patient, rushing him will just mean the end product will be unfinished. It will be done when it's done.

[godsmuffinman]

Yeah, if you 'really really need this set' then make it on your own. Moby's doing this for free so theres no need to rush him.

[rct3parkmake]

Mobey, this feels wierd. I feel like lloking at your supports set, I'm looking at a playful child, and here and in ePark I feel like I'm looking at a serious adult. Wierd. :weird:

[pharaon]

I really hope you will release the set soon...the trucks and the cranes are really amazing...thank you for what you do

[Crispylad]

Now that I look back at the second picture , I think you might be right. And yes guys. Be paitent... One , you do not want to rush him. Rushing him will just make it longer because your pressuring him...

[{Freak}Rct3]

so how is your progress doing on the change of appearance?

i can't wait to use it man, your set is absolutely amazing

[Moby]

I had the same problem with .rar files. You just click find, then winRAR, and then you can download it [free]. It works fine for me.


@Moby: Great set! Do you use Sketchup to make these?

[Santas Helpers]

^ Not with me. It keeps asking me to use it under license.

Any other way to get this as a .ZIP file?

7zip, Winrar, and IZarc all do the job.

Moby, Thank You so very much!!!! I've been loving your E-Park Thread, and have been especially keen on the trucks you've been modelling for that project.


Thank you very much for sharing them with us.

I don't post much anymore,(HEAVY work load....) but I constantly watch E-Park and other threads......

Wow!!!!

Thanks for sharing these trucks with us. I know you know that popular demand has a lot of peeps looking forward to a great set like this. :up:

Incredible work...! I'm sure you'll be seeing your work on this set popping up in rides and videos almost immediately...!

Always been a fan.... You've proved your skills once again. <high 5> dude. Your creativity as always is Greatly appreciated!

(yah... I'm STILL drooling over Moondance.... :bounce: )

[collis]

This pack is something i've been looking for since i first saw epark.
If you do want to do a site cabin or if someone else would like to take it on drop me a pm, i started working on one a while back but got to a point where it needs importing and testing as well as maybe a billboard section

[Max Train]

Moby these are great..a most useful set. To echo some others, the timing for this could not have been better for me. Sitework is about to begin on the island!:up:

[Hotasflames99]

This set is awesome! Thanks for the hard work and release!

[Vin Blake]

Ooh this set is sweet, check out what I did with it:

A Custom made crane, I'll probably change it as time passes, but i wanted a groundmounted (<- is this even english?) crane. So here is what I did...

[Moby]

You're all welcome. It's nice to see this set being used.

@ Phantom523 - Thanks very much for the comment. If you enjoyed Moondance, just keep an eye on ePark. ;)

@ collis - I don't want to spend any more time on this set really, but thanks anyway.

Ok, I know this has been released, and I know that this may be a bit irrelevant, but what footers did you use in the first post?

[bereth14]

They're from shy guy's water world set.
