So I decided to improve the default city bus.

The first is a changing board to show the major stops on that route (which uses ELS at this time).

There are no ads anymore and there has been a major over haul to the body and interior of the bus.

No weird bump on top, brand new seats by RidgeRunner, and a more up-to-date farebox.

 

 

New Video for version 1.0

Note: Texture settings on medium, bus looks better than shown.

 

 

 

All feedback and comments are very welcome.

Are the Destination Boards switchable via the Extra's System?

Currently the destination boards are just a texture and there's many for all the different locations in GTA IV but unfortunately since I'm using ELS, there can only be three destinations at a time but I'm trying to work on that to expand it.

EDIT: Actually, I don't know much about Extra's without ELS but if they work like I assume, then Yes, the board would be switchable using the extras.

So here's the first re-textured version. It's pretty plain and I'll definitely add more to it if not a whole retexture. Took longer than expected to texture that thing.

 

Anyone have any good ideas for a generic or Liberty City bus texture? The buses where I live are pretty boring.

Just got finished striping out those terrible seats.

Can't see too much because the interior is so dark and there's not much texture in there.

 

I'm also thinking of using this bus to make a prisoner transport or a party bus lol

So after replacing all of the seats with lovely ones by Ridgerunner, here are the before and afters:

However I think the seat legs will be silver like in this picture:

 

The bus moves forward towards completion

This will look very good completed. :)

Thanks! I hope so.

Since you're interested in it, do you think it would look better if the floor was some sort of silvery/metal/grey instead of the black void lol?

I think it would look better being Silvery looking.

So I finally made a proper skin template which took hours but it's worth it so that I can make good skins now.

Also shown is the current interior. My next step is to upgrade the farebox/computer and make some great skins.

Just made the first version of the farebox and computer. I'm not super good at making things like this and I still want to keep it kinda low-poly so I'm not sure what I'll do to improve it. Any suggestions are very welcome. The textures for it came out pretty good though.
