I had been wanting for a long time to add bagginsbill's wonderful Puddles materials to this set and finally got around to doing it. If you have purchased this product and would like to get the latest version the downloads have been reset.

I also updated the grass materials as well as the roads.

There are now options to hide the parking lines on all of the road materials.

Remember to turn on displacement if you want the full effect on the grass. :-)

I would recommend backing up the files you have now if in case you wanted to use an old material that was a favorite.

You could also just make a new run time for this set and link it into Poser.

The set is good for Poser 8 and forward.

Thanks to all of you who have made this my top selling product!

Here is a render that shows the puddles on 81 City Blocks Roads, along with a peek at Low Poly Block Nine which is very close to release. Notice how the world coordinate materials work across the two products seamlessly. :-)

A huge thanks goes out to my good friend, Ted the Genius bagginsbill!

Ted you were, and will always be the man, on materials in Poser!

Regards, Tom

And as always, have fun!

P.S. I made this announcement because I received about 25 returned e-mails on the product e-mail, so if you bought it and did not get the e-mail, just go to the download page and get it for yourself. :-)

I like that building, Tom. You got something like that for a motel? With a central swimming pool for all the guests?

That is a good idea.

Thanks E

Okay. I'm gonna take that as a "not yet".

This is the letter I sent out as to what was updated.

Hi Guys and Gals,
It has been a while now that I have wanted to go back and add some features to my Movie Sets, 81 City Blocks set.
First of all, save your existing zip files in case you want to return to the old way of doing things, for what ever reason.
(1) I added Bagginsbills puddles materials for the roads as well as reworked some of the ones that existed before.
(2) I also added some material options to hide the parking lines that were on the original set. You can now have
the parking lines or not for each of the road material sets.
(3) I also reworked the grass materials and added a few.
(4) I also cloned the Props folder into the Character folder and vise verse so you can access them from either one.
(5) I also added one ERC control on the Low Poly Block One to turn all the trees at one time.
So most of the changes I made were just for materials.
Thanks to all of you who made this my number one selling product. I hope you like it as much as I do for renders!
Regards, Tom

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. This one -- and the beach -- seem to get an awful lot of use, even when I'm not rendering anything near a city. :)
