It comes with a load of great default textures. Just use the Paint Bucket. Pick and click.

@Mattchstick

Aye. Im gonna look up a tutorial on lighting and angles.

Yeah, I took a class on it in Uni. It's fantastic. I can't draw straight lines or circles so if I need a building or something I can have a decent 3D render in like 15-20 minutes.

Every time I download it I have to organize my toolbar in a very specific way, though. I think it's a matter of preference.

This is mine.

@Mattchstick

I set it up more basically but I have not used textures etx on mine. I just wanted to get the shape planned out for somthing.

I could texture it but I need to make sure to reset all my facings for lighting to match up... Kinda annoying lol.

@PrinceAlexus I guess this goes under Misc, but you have a doctor and a fire rescue player so maybe you need an Emergency Services category. Anyway,

Founded 53 years ago, the SoL City Volunteer Rescue Squad is the active emergency response source for 911 calls. EMTs and paramedics are on call 24 hours a day, working in shifts from 8 to 12 hours. They respond immediately to highway, residential, industrial, and water emergencies with two ambulances and a rescue boat, towed by truck and trailer to the marina. They work in tandem with the local hospital, fire house, and Sol City police force to make sure situations are dealt with as quickly and safely as possible. The brave men and women that serve are trained in First Aid and CRP, and have EMT certification. Housing and amenities (washing machines, a kitchen, bathrooms, changing rooms, and a rec area) are provided for volunteers who want to stay for prolonged periods of time. Some even choose to live in the building in exchange for weekend shifts. From Officers and Technicians to Paramedics and EMTs, the SCVRS is the backbone of emergency search, rescue, and transportation of Sol City. They're just a phone call away.

@Mattchstick

Great. Il get that done and added up to main page tommorow. :)

@Mattchstick

@PrinceAlexus@Pilatus Hey look I made a SCVRS building in SketchUp.

@Mattchstick

Nice!

Write a description, well I can make that into a formal city location.
:)

@PrinceAlexus Volunteer Rescue Squads have water rescue boats. They look like this:

@Mattchstick

They would fit for a river based seach and rescue service. There'd also a small marina who Mantaims a few smaller boats.

We have room for it. :)

Well, my dad has been on a Volunteer Rescue Squad for 30-odd years. I already know what a VRS building looks like, how it's organized, what the gear looks like, standard protocols, etc. so I would be able to RP that a bit more accurately that the Coast Guard, which doesn't seem like it'd be too relevant in a major metropolitan city.

Other ideas, though?

@Mattchstick

If you want a public service... And set on some responder or public help role.

Hmmm.

The city has a main river and such, so there's always working for a smaller water rescue service, also sea planes use the river as part of deadalus Airlines.

Maybe not full coast guard but we have room for a water rescue team who serve the main river and nearby waterways.

@PrinceAlexus Well that would depend on who in the Char tab is inactive or has left. I wouldn't know and don't particularly want to go through 83 pages to see what people have said.

@Pilatus I was thinking an off-duty soldier, paramedic, or police officer. Seems like we already have two police force players and a soldier and at least one doctor in training, so I'm not sure where to go. Which is why I'd like to know if there are any roles that you or someone else would like to see that don't exist yet.

@Mattchstick

What about coast guard. Seach and rescue?

Just a few ideas to add to pot.

@PrinceAlexus I don't want to take over a character. I (may) want to have the Occupation that the character had.

@Mattchstick

oh thats perfectly fine. go ahead!

@Pilatus@PrinceAlexus So, let me be clear, the time skip has happened? With the site having issues these past few days, I just wanted to be sure where we were before I started to work on a post.

@Poi

Yes. we skipped. time skip is now active. current time zone is now midnight to lunchtime. any time you can use, please be clear when you are as such though :)

Keeping an eye on this RP still. Bit dry on actual ideas, though. The character ideas I had have been taken already and I dislike making duplicates. So,

1. Are there any people in the [Char] tab who are no longer active or have dropped out so I can consider taking up that role, and
2. Are there any unfilled roles that people here would like to see?

@Mattchstick

We have not had anyone ask to take over a charecter so i will have to ask @Pilatus and work out what we want to do regarding that.

2, if you find a idea and that player is quiet, then yes you could make your charecter take that role, we do have abit of ability to take some similar roles and crossover to some degree.
