a brand new urban map for MM2! It's still in active development.
The map presents the center of my home city – Lublin in Poland. Unlike the default MM maps and other cities created by Angel for their games, this map is not a miniature of a real-life city (a city in a nutshell); it's meant to be a close representation of what the presented place looks like in real life. Obviously, some simplifications and other changes were made to fit into the game.
The map is meant to be made by myself from ground up: I model buildings myself, take necessary pictures en lieu and create textures out of these pictures. However, some buildings are plain old blocky PSDL ones (like most of these in SF and London) and vanilla textures are still used – this is not going to be a perfect 3D recreation of the place. I also use some CC0/PD textures (mostly from ambientcg.com) and a few props made by MDX for his awesome Yosemite map.
Speaking of props, the city is already using quite a few of them. I want it feel as dynamic as the default cities and that includes destruction of roadside property and crashing through gates. What would Midtown Madness be without madness?
km2 City Builder, a new and still developed tool by SuperSecret, makes making a map easier than before.
I include some screenshots showcasing the work already done. (Traffic Pack 2000, MDX's Harley-Davidson and RV6 sky can be seen in those.) (P.S.: I wanted to add fresh ones, but MM2x doesn't allow me to attach them to my post, so I'm including the already published ones.) (P.P.S.: This older image set also includes LamboV10's Honda.)
