Roads Tutorial
When people watch the "Steven's City Coasters" video, they often ask me how I created the roads and car parks. Some people think that you need custom scenery to create roads, car parks and vehicles. This is not the case. Contrary to popular belief, I don't use the tarmac paths to create roads, if I did this, then I could not place cars on the roads. Step 1.
You have a choice here, you can either lower the land to make the road surface, or instead surround the road area with a texture that does not blend into the surrounding area. Here I have used the brick texture. Using the "ground painter" we will not use the Tarmac ground texture to create the road-surface.
Step 2.
Here, I am going to use the 1/3 height slate wall, remember to colour it white, then place it half-underground, as shown below:
Simply hold down the ctrl key, and continue placing your lines.
And there you have a basic road. If you want, you can also use the same technique to add other road features:
Step 3.
The "Generic" scenery items set contains four types of vehicle that you can use, a bus, a coach, a saloon car and a peep-carrier. All you have to do is place these scenery items in your road. Remember to vary the colours though!
And there you have it. You can Build car-parks using the same technique.
