Thanks for your interest in the GCD Road & Sidewalk Kit.
UPDATE!
NOW HAS BOTH PBR & BLINN-PHONG TEXTURES These are FULL PERMISSIONS! so you can download to your computer and add extra dirt or seasonal variations using Photoshop or Gimp.
PLEASE NOTE!!!!!
This kit has been designed for builders and creators and you will need a good understanding of how to manipulate prims (copy. stretch, rotate etc) and the use of Materials to successfully use this kit.
The kit is comprised of 4 main sections.
1) ROADS & MARKINGS KIT - The roads consist of 3 different sections; straight road and then 45 & 90 degree turns.
The roads use 2 different textures (Straight & Corner - Both included)) You will see the texturing has slight tyre wear but can still be seamlessly matched up both horizontally and vertically. So for example at Road Junctions or Crossings you should be able to get a pretty good seamless texture join. (* The kit also now includes a plain Asphalt texture for car parks.)
The road markings are all separate prims - which I know might be a little fiddly and annoying to work with but they are designed to give you maximum flexibility and allow you to easily adjust color and alpha settings. They include a straight section and then inner and outer bends for 45 and 90 degree turns plus you get the pedestrian crossing. The pack uses just 2 main road marking textures (A Solid & A Dashed White Line - Both Included))You should therefore be able to set up similar road markings for just about any country using this kit and don’t forget to link the road markings to the road when your done to lower the land impact.
2) SIDEWALK / PAVEMENT KIT - Here you will find over 50 different parts ranging from simple straight sections to pedestrian and vehicle slopes as well as 45 and 90 degree turns plus drains and manhole covers. You also have a choice of textures for the main sidewalk as well as different colored parking zone curbs and even a grass verge.This modular kit is designed to fit together seamlessly. The kit comes linked to a large 30 Meter prim - it’s a good idea to unlink each part as you need it and use Shift to copy sections inworld. (All Textures and Materials Included)
3) HILL SECTIONS KIT - This consists of 3 main parts ; A road with a 15 degree rise up, A normal straight road section at a 15 degree angle which you can make as long or short as you need and then a 15 degree slope down, along with appropriate sidewalk and road markings sections. Use stretch to make hills as large and high as you need.
4) PBR TEXTURES (FULL PERMISSIONS — Best Viewed Inside a Reflection Probe)
All PBR materials and textures are included in the pack and have full permissions. If you are unfamiliar with materials, the basic principle is that each object uses three texture layers to add extra detail and realism.
The first is the main texture, known as the Base.
The second is a bump/height map, known as the Normal.
The third is a reflection/shine map, known as the Metallic Roughness texture.
You can adjust the material settings to change the amount of reflection and the colour tint of each material.
5) ORIGINAL BLINN-PHONG TEXTURES. (FULL PERMISSIONS)
These are the original textures for users who do not wish to use PBR. All items still include these textures.
To view them, go to Edit, select the object, then open the texture edit window. Select the PBR material and set it to NONE. This removes the PBR material and reverts the object to the original Blinn–Phong texture.

Fantastic!
Remember when we were kids and toys were marketed as "hours of fun"? Well this kit is that, exactly. Hours of fun, and time consuming. Lovely parts that fit well together, and they have a nice light sheen on them that makes me very happy. Thank you.
One of the best buildsets I've bought in SL.
EXTREMELY well made. The amount of parts and pieces as well as the li of everything is everything I needed. I REALLY appreciate the textures all being included it made the process of setting something that looked seamless up so easy.
Easy to Use, Nice Textures
Has everything I needed to set up city streets. Great textures included.
Great product...but one terrible exception
I've purchased several products - quite happy with all. The exception are the curves in this pack - they look amateurish, are too sharp. A picture will show comparison with another road system I use.
[ https://prnt.sc/1518hk7 ].
The curves might work ok in the inner city/urban setting.......but horrible for suburban, rural settings. More "graceful" curves be better - especially where I do not use the sidewalks (i.e., drives thru the rural countryside). Not to mention driving a vehicle on these kinked curves would be unpleasant.
Because they are mesh, stretching distorts the width of the road along one axis or the other - and cannot be "pathcut" to adjust that way. So either other pieces needed, or perhaps a "prim-base" that can be pathcut (which would also allow 22.5 deg adjustments). In fact, just one well-made 45deg could then be used for all (90deg, 45deg, 22.5deg, 11.25deg).
I found this rather disappointing in light of the high quality of everything else in the pack, and the builder's attention to providing modify-able products.
Other than this one issue - is a great, well made product, thanks.
A nice, but flawed kit.
This is a very comprehensive kit, which included ramps for driveways and crosswalks, which are rare in SL roads building kits, and I appreciate that! =) However, those particular pieces do not match well with the regular curbs and sidewalks, leaving gaps or overlapping seams that are difficult, if not impossible to resize correctly, or line up the textures. =(
Amazing work, you won't be disappointed
Everything I've purchased from this creator is fantastic.
