This thread is for sharing templates.

How to share your templates or ones that your friends showed you.

1 make a video showing step by step how to make it. Voice overs are not need but nice to have.

2 Post the link to your video here, and give info on how it should be used.

Note if your sharing what someone else showed you, please give them credit for sharing it to you.

And the ones that are the most useful I will put here in the OP.

Step one watch this video.

step 2: learn the templates, good one are here.
Video was made by Kili31, but G.L.E.N showed him.

this one was made by pardonias for bridges.

Nice idea, could always use some creative props^^
I'll start, credit goes to G.L.E.N:

(Sry for the annoying background sound, I forgot my mic was on while recording)

Use of the prop is, like shown, to prevent corner cutting

I've gotta say, this is a really awesome idea for a thread.
I'm not too good at the creator tricks myself, but i look forward to see what some of the master creators will share.

Who knows, it might get me back to creating tracks again!

I'm good at building bridges which would be a great addition to this thread, but I don't really play GTA anymore. And I'm also terrible at making videos. However the best advice I can give is: take your time to line everything up and keep testing every new addition to bridges. It's really annoying when you have build a big bridge and you find out that the middle of the bridge isn't properly alligned and you have to rebuild half of it.

If you can't choose which roads to use, use them all.

Bridge building is an art.

I made this video on aligning props, a while ago. This is a copy of the description:

Short instructional video on a technique for aligning props in GTA content creator. There are two ideas at work here:

1. The important thing to note is that creating a prop template allows us to spin a prop around a different axis than usual. In this video, we achieve this by placing a single bale right on the edge of the barge surface, the desired axis of rotation, which allows us to align the barges seamlessly for the bridge. This idea can be applied in many different ways, like in this clip for another example: youtu.be/eVbcIoTwU_o

2. The second idea is a method for measuring angles. Rockstar did not give us the ability to read absolute coordinates and angles, but using templates we can work around that problem in case we need that degree of precision. We create a template using the arrow barrier such that the number of visible arrows indicates the relative angle of the template. This idea can be extended to measuring angles on other axes as well as distances, for high precision work.
