Metro Station #1

Description
A sunken metro station, styled after the far-flung suburban stations of the London Underground. Many creative liberties have been taken.

My whole intention with this was to make a sunken station that would work with the Sunset Harbor update to the vanilla game (it does, shockingly). I spent about three weeks trying to figure out how to a) actually use Blender well, b) learn the basics of how to use the asset editor and c) figure out if the concept even works. I had to do something with my quarantine time, right? Hopefully future assets don't take that long to make.

Model specs/features:
3344 tris
2k textures
custom normal/illumination/spec/colour maps
16x8 lot size
tracks at -6m

Some disclaimers:

- Trains very slightly clip the station. It's barely visible and I don't really care to fix it.
- I haven't tested this with Metro Overhaul mod or the new Metro Replacer mod, but it uses the vanilla ground level metro station as a template, which I assume (with my limited knowledge of how assets actually work) means it should work fine.
- The London Underground roundel logo props are completely optional; the station will work without it, and the other props are all vanilla.

Thank you to all the modders who make it possible for people with no knowledge of code like myself to actually bring our ideas to life in this game. Also, a big thank you to Blender Guru on Youtube. Blender no longer makes me want to yell profanities at my computer. This is the first time I've actually uploaded something I modelled to the Steam workshop, so any constructive feedback would be more than welcome!

Pedestrian paths are wonky.. indeed they often make connections with roads and other paths merely by proximity. We need a mod like TM:PE to have a feature that recognizes all pedestrian paths (especially those embedded inside assets) and allows us to prevent them from being used.

@Agamemnicon wow. I love what you did with it! @YUMBLtv glad you both like it.

I can take a look re: crossing at the ends of the platform, but I think the issue might be that the pathways for the platforms are just close enough together because of the width of the tracks that the game can find a path between the nodes at the ends, sort of like how you can have a vanilla paved path near a road with a sidewalk and pedestrians will find their way between them. I'm not sure if there's much I can do about that (or frankly, if I actually know enough about asset creation to fix it), but if any asset creator has suggestions I'd gladly hear them!

@Chris6d I started trying to make one that works as a bypass station inspired by Beverley/Cortelyou Rd. stations in Brooklyn, but the technical issues I was having with them were... a lot. I might try again but I was getting reaaaaaaaaally frustrated. sorry about responding so late, I needed to take a long break from the game and now I'm back to work so I don't have as much free time.

@YUMBLtv I'm noticing that too. I've been drawing a pedestrian path across that top walkway, although I need to check if those pedestrians are just walking THROUGH the station or actually using the platform. Check the 3rd photo in the link I posted July 1st

In my experience the peds won't use the overpass. Theyll cross the tracks at either end of the station. Any fix for this? Otherwise it's wonderful.

I absolutely love this station. I'm not a fan of metro in the game because you can't see what's happening. I wouldn't be using the new vanilla metro with Sunset Harbor without your station. Thank you!

Here's some of the work I've done with it so far: https://imgur.com/a/t8Lvx3F

Can you please make one with 4 tracks, like a bypass station? That'd be epic :steamhappy:

Wow! This is just what my city needs, and I haven't found any other assets like this. Thank you so much for your hard work!
