Liverpool Hand Crafted Scenery v 4.0
I have taken on this project with spas3man with three objectives :
1. Optimising the files and textures. I have managed to half the file size and greatly reduce the texture drawcalls for the scenery, hopefully helping with any potential FPS issues.
2. Adding night lighting. I have created ambient night lighting and added some emissive texturing to some buildings.
3. Spas3man having exhausted 3DWarehouse, any missing buildings need creating from scratch. I intend to create as many significant omissions as possible. In this version :
Lime Street station
Mersey Ferries building
Pier Head quays
Lexington apartments
Plaza 1821 apartments
Also added some shipping!
Already scheduled for future versions : other Pier Head buildings, Albert Dock
I have also corrected the modelLib issue and utilised the correct naming convention.
Whilst photogrammetry/map importing can cover large areas in fair detail, this method utilises the optimised default autogen for most "ordinary" buildings and enables higher detail for the "landmarks" whilst being more efficient on file sizes and having better FPS.

Hi, this looks great. Will it play nicely with Orbx UK central, which has some enhanced buildings and POIs in Liverpool? Thanks.

Download my "Liverpool POIs hand-crafted for Orbx GB" mod rather than this one. I have excluded the models that Orbx have put in. Check out my other Orbx friendly mods too!

Hi Eric
Shouldn't do - completely separate areas.

Thanks for doing this. I was thinking this morning as I work in 3D modelling, I should probably do some of the more prominent buildings for Liverpool. So you saved me a job. My only suggestions/comments would be the orientation of Lexington. It needs rotating 90 degrees from where it's at. And across the Road, Liverpools tallest Beetham West has lost the lower 5 'tall office floors'. It makes it look a bit stumpy and no longer as tall as in real life.
Besides those 2, great work!
