football_fever, the waterfall looks awesome. This shot is nearly pefect except the graphics don't look right in the canal in one of the diagonals 9.5/10

gabry85, Looks busy, I don't like the way the overpasses look, there to sharp in angle. I'd also consider upgrading the street to a road. 7.8/10

metasmurf, To dark, not enough lighting for a night shot 6.2/10

suplado, not much into the whole desert scene but it look nice 8.1/10

Shadow_prophet, Very nice, I like the photoshop lighting very real. Decent harbor 8.6/10

[Amerikaner 42]

Well here is something I just sorta cooked up haha...I want to see what people think...helps me figure out how to do my MAJOR new update on Brittany (RDT). I have figured out how to get some cars, not really what I want but it will work for now.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

football: wow! talk about grand! the city is beautiful, and that terraforming is insane! i don't like the space ships, but i know that's because of your futuristic journal so i won't pick on that 8/10

gabry: quite nice, the only thing i don't like is the palm trees since they look a little plastic, but this would make a great journal! i really like the borders you put in your picture, it has that 'widescreen' effect that a lot of movies and t.v shows have now days, great work! 9/10

metasmurf: a bit dark, but your town looks great! nice use of that curving road aswell 8/10

 

suplado: awesome! i love that new ploppable water and it looks great! the only thing that i must pick on is that it's over the base texture which makes it look kind of funky, but a beautiful mosaic, i like your photoshopping! 9/10

shadow_prophet: looks pretty good, a bit quiet though for such a large city. the rocks in the water look a bit odd aswell 7/10

amerikaner: awesome city, the photoshopping is a bit dark though i want to see the details of that beautiful city! 8/10

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

heres one that i whipped up

[belfastuniguy 18]

football: I love the waterfall and cliff face, truly lovely 9.5/10

gabry: not sure about the palm trees, but overall looks good 7/10

metasmurf: good use of curve, overall not bad 7/10

suplado: lovely image indeed, would echo the water over the base issue, apart from that 8/10

shadow_prophet: very very good, adore those marina sets 9/10

amerikaner: a bit dark but effective and a lovely city 8.5/10

seahawk: love the rain and the light from the tower, looks fab 8.5/10

one from me.....taken from my most recent update

[Shadow_prophet 91]

Thanks guys for the comments and crits, i'll make the necessary adjustments based on what was pointed out as well.

Ratings first as usual:

Amerikaner: Dark but at least details are still visible, 8.3/10

sEAhAwk fAn121: Okay but some details can't be seen very clearly, good affects.8.1/10

belfastuniguy: Spectacular fireworks display. 8.7/10

I wanted to create a waterfall, so i thought i'd give a try. Any suggestion on how to make a visually pleasing waterfall is most welcomed.

Here is what i cooked up so far:

Before anyone asks why doesn't it fill up and overflow, Underground river. thank you

[ExiL3 10]

Shadow_prophet: That looks amazing! nice work there! 8,9/10!

here is a small close up, part of a city I have been working on recently.

hope you like it...

take care,

[gabry85 2]

Amerikaner: You have style! I have the feeling that it would be an interesting CJ. 9.5/10!

sEAhAwk fAn121 (Phew, lucky there's copy-and-paste ): Excellent effects and great weather shot! 9/10!

belfastuniguy: That's Magic! How did you make it? 10/10!

Shadow_prophet: Excellent terraforming and spectacular waterfall! Where can I get it? 9/10!

ExiL3: Realism is very good here, intelligent plopping of buildings! You should download the Traffic Generators though. 8/10.

[Shadow_prophet 91]

gabry85: Thanks a bunch

And here you go:

Wave3 FreeFlowing Stream Mod by qurlix

Oh and ExiL3 as gabry85 said, cars to give it more of a city feeling, Otherwise, perfect, 9.1/10

Really? never noticed when i visited Oslo. I usually see a lot of people walking about everywhere most of the time. More pedestrians than cars i guess.

But hey who am i to say, was going up mountains most of the time.

[gabry85 2]

Thanks Shadow_prophet! I was missing this.

@ Glenni: Whoa, never known that! Ok, just my ignorance, I update the rating for ExiL3: 9/10!

[football_fever 6]

Shadow_Prophet: the best thing you can do when making waterfalls with free-flowing streams is to plop the stream at the top, then use mayor mode terraforming tools to lower or raise the terrain until it looks right. Add more flows to the top if it needs it. Keep adjusting until it looks perfect...don't settle for anything less than perfection.

o.0

For that mosaic... a rate doesn't cut it... maybe a Nobel Prize or something, lol...

[gabry85 2]

Wow, there's lot of work here; maybe the biggest mosaic I've ever seen! Excellent detail, I like the anti-grid transports! 10/10!

[DougOZ 0]

E.J.C= nice pic, hhuge and realistic 9/10

[HuskerDude 12]

Wow. I fell extraordinarily humbled posting after that beast of a photo! Amazing work 10/10

Here's a part of my latest. Experimenting with more GLR, including in avenue:

I'll get some wider shots once I'm happier with more of the city.

[Cockatoo 2,256]

football_fever:  Damn that is really nice! Love all the trees and great looking canal/ river. All up a fantastic image 9/10!

garby85:  Nice but just seems to be lacking something- I just can't put my finger on it. 7/10

metasmurf:  WAY to dark, realistic though so 5.5/10

suplado:  Wow, that's really nice! Great job with the oasis. 8.5/10

Shadow_prophet:  Great use of PEG's new marinas! 8/10

Amerikaner:  Sorry, but again I think you over-did the photo effects. I want to see what's behind all that 6/10

sEAhAwk fAn121:  Nice rain effects! Looks really good- 8/10

Shadow_prophet:  Wow... big waterfall! Looks un-realistic but still cool so 7.5/10

ExiL3:  Nice job and all but I've seen this all before. 7/10

E.J.C:  Wow that's one big ass mosaic! Not really my personal taste but still I can see you put alot of effort into this so 9/10!

HuskerDude:  Nice but again I've seen way to much of this sort of stuff, it's just boring to me now. 7/10

[sepsis 17]

Socialist State of Rodina

Ilitj (Starograd)

[penguin007 27]

sepsis your picture looks awesome very german 9/10

The_Sanderson a bit to much repetiton so 7/10

C0ckatoo-210893 I think it looks awesome 9/10

Huskerdude- Nice origanality and that station is one of my favourites ever so 8/10

OK Ive been meaning to post on this thread for ages so here goes

Yeah I know the grid was on just a bad habit by me

Will

[wwetom1 831]

Very realistic.^^ 8/10

[Elaclairee 0]

flip bug

Oh, and I'm here... haven't played the game in quite some time. Sorry for no comments.

[Alien_397 8]

Seahawkfan:  One of the better rain effects I've seen put on top of two of the better Bat's I've ever seen.  9.1/10

Belfastinguy:  Really cool fireworks effects.  No, no, I mean it, really cool.  9.4/10

Shadow Prophet:  That's some great terreforming.  I don't really care if it's realistic or not, it's awesome.  The fact that it dwarfs the skyscrapers makes it that much cooler.  9.2/10

Exil3:  not bad... just not exciting in and of itself.  7.3/10

ejc:  Wow, there's more details in there than you could shake a stick at.  Not that I ever quite understood where that saying comes from... eh, anyways.  Seems like every time I look back at it there is something new I missed the first time.  9.8/10

HuskerDude:  While there's nothing inheritly wrong with the pic, it just seems to lack a sense of focus.  7.4/10

C0ckatoo-210893:  Whoa those are some cool skyscrapers.  The lighting really makes the picture, and the rather free-flowing park paths at the bottom just put the icing on the cake.  9.6/10

The_sanderson:  hmm, part of me says it really cool, and part just isn't as pursuaded for some reason, though I can't put my finger on why, so I'll meet myself in the middle.  8.5/10

sepsis:  It's got a real wispy, solumn feel to it.  It's part the graveyard and part the colors.  On top of it, I like how all the base textures and sidewalks match up, shows a lot of effort put into getting the right effect.  9.4/10

Penguin007:  Some aspects look cool with the blurring, in particular the streets and area right around them, but the pond really detracts from the scene with it's repetitiveness.  7.8/10

Wwetom1:  While the building itself is cool(except for the cloud textures on it,)  the setting fails to be impressive.  6.5/10

Here's a bridge I made recently over the new transparent ploppable water, with a little perspective editing.  I rather liked the results despite the simplicity of the scene.

oh yea, and don't mind the trees in the water, the river's just up a little bit over normal

[patfirefghtr 160]

Ooooooooh wow chris, you did a fantastic job there my friend... I so love the way you used the TPW and jeroni's tree's... Great job on the up rising of the river as well... overall 10/10

well i will make a crack here for the first time............ 

BTW best used with firefox - pat

[Silur 3,304]

Hi, Alien_397...

"Simplicity of the scene" - it's a beautiful picture with 100% harmony colors - Excellent !!!

9.9/10

[djlee1999 3]

Nice job with the photoshop on that rural road bridge over the river

[smstevenms 7]

Amerikaner, this looks spooky 8/10

sEAhAwk fAn121, I like the way the lighting comes through from the tower 8.2/10

belfastuniguy, Looks sweet 9/10

Shadow_prophet, not sure how I could tell you how to make it look better, but it looks unnatual. 9/10 for effort 7/10 for quality.

ExiL3, not bad looks like something I'm working on 7.5/10

E.J.C 8O wow, that is some awesome stuff. 10/10

HuskerDude, not bad I like the idea, can we see how you have worked in the stations. 8/10

C0ckatoo-210893, Now this is what I come to expect, great and beautiful tall buildings 9.8/10

The_sanderson, That's a nice design, well done. 8.6/10

sepsis, It looks good but it seems a bit washed. 7.9/10

penguin007, Not sure what I'm looking at, looks like a dream 7/10

wwetom1, ?? 4/10

Alien_397, awsome concept I'd love to know the link of the water 9/10

patfirefghtr, Looks really nice, I also like the walls, would like the link for the dam and walls if you don't mind 8.3/10

[Alien_397 8]

Ah, that would be Jeronij's new gift to SC4 available at SC4Devotion: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1227.  I highly recommend it.  (for those who don't know what I'm rambling about here, smstevenms asked about the transparent ploppable water in my previous pic)

Well done Pat.  I think it'd be better if it wasn't up against the side of the map and a little more care could have been taken on the edges of the water I think though.  The dam itself is nicely done.  8.2/10

Here's a small ditch running through a rural town I'm working on.
