The Overlook Hotel
This is my second asset ever and it took a while…
Actually it’s the Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood / Oregon. This famous Depression Era building was used for exterior shots of The Overlook Hotel in Kubrick’s classic movie "The Shining". For my Red Rock Series ( http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/70012-red-rock-colorado-episode-7-corpus-mens-spiritus/ ) I needed a Colorado mountain resort – so this was the choice.
It’s RICO enabled (or serving as a monument).
The model has 3237 tris, and a well needed 2048×2048 diffuse map. Illumination, specular, alpha and normal map included. And there is a custom LOD at 127 tris and with a 256×256 diffuse map.
As a solitary building this should work very well.
The building doesn’t flatten terrain – you’ll need to flatten a 13 x 8 tile base, place the building and adapt (heighten) the terrain behind it – it sits on a slope!
It just comes with the parking lots – anything else should be placed with prop anarchy and more beautification mods!
There might be the Overlook Maze coming soon…
Enjoy.
UPDATE: RICO should be working now and the LOD and main model have the same scale. The main model is on a 13 x 7 plot now.
