New content packs, my first own pack, trip planing

Again it's a long time since my last blog, so after we have some news I will post it.

First of all our new up coming content packs. Surely some of you have read Stefan Moises last blog which shows his and our work for a project. Okay we still can't talk much about the project (but soon we will), but what we have done is packing the first models together and create 3 content packs. Also there will be a content set which contains all 3 packs and offers a discount against the 3 packs.

The theme of the packs will be called "jungle fever" and as you can imaging all the models have to do something with the jungle.
The Content of all 3 packs (and the Set) are:
- 9 Trees each with 3 versions
- 14 bushes and weeds, each with up to 6 versions
- 4 rocks with 5 versions
- 16 foilages
- 7 terrain textures
- 2 water textures
- 3 skyboxes, 1 night, 1 stormy day and 1 sunny day
- 1 waterfall with animations
- and several soundfiles for the forest and river ambient.

The Packs will be at Friday in our webshop

And because each blog needs some pictures here some of the models from the packs.


The second news is that i almost have finished my first content pack. The theme of the pack is western town and will contain 6 different buildings and also some more models. Pictures will follow later.

And the last thing, at the moment i plan a new trip to california this year. Okay i will fly at the end of September, but planing a vacation trip never can start soon enough ;-). Start and end will be San Francisco, the rough tour will be from San Francisco, south to Sequoia and Kings Canyon N.P., than north between Sequoia and Deathvalley to Manzanar N.H.S, Devils Postpile N.M., Mono Lake and trough the Yosemite N.P. via tioga pass. From there up to Carson City, NV and Reno, NV (after 6 times Las Vegas without become millionaire, this time i try Reno ;-)). And if i have enough time i will drive up to the Lassen Vulcanic N.P.
Maybe the tour seems a little bit odd, but this time i try to see the stuff which i missed till now. For example i was 2 times in the Yosemite N.P. but both times the tioga pass were still closed, the same happend when i was in the Lassen Vulcanic N.P..
Also I never see the "backside" area of Yosemite and Sequoia like Manzanar N.H.S., Devils Postpile N.M. or the oldest trees in the white mountains. And from Reno i saw only the skyline when i was heading south to Las Vegas.
My first idea was also to visit Las Vegas and the Zion N.P. (in this park i still miss the "angle landings" tour), but i think then i will run out of time because i have only 3 or 3,5 weeks.

So if you see a crazy german tourist at the end of september till early october in california, maybe it's me ;-).
