I find it very impressive.  Your mountains turned out great and I really like the layout of the map as a whole.  Excellent work and definately worth uploading to the STEX.

psteverific  Very nice looking region, i like that narrow strip of land connecting to the 'almost an island' in the north quadrant.  Like the grid layout of your developed areas too.  Excellent job!

Thanks, as it happens, I belive there are some pictures in that thread,

    ...or you could just pop in to th CJ:

masochist: Hoo-Boy! is that ever a project and a half!

   I really hope you do start a CJ, I'd love to see it

BTW, you don't really have to wait untill it's done, for me personally, I'd be very interested in seeing how you go about it, but it's your quarter.

..Wow, the ammount of time and skill you guys have shown in these regional pics is breathtaking.  I almost can't comprehend how beautiful all of your work is. 

 I have about 4 days of playing SC4 under my belt, and what you guys have presented has blown my concept of what a SC can be.  These shots truely inspire me to dive head first into a SC4 project.

  I have a question for you pros tho: from the shots that show the roads, it looks like highways are the most important thing in making a healthy region, ture?

  And, about how much of your regions are just suburbs?

  Truely amazing guys.

fantastic region shots

[Gridlock 9]

Great regions everyone , here s a full size pic of all my region.

I know , it still looks real patchy , but its taken me 12 months nearly to get this far .

Regional Pop approx 37 million.

Size 52 x 48

[jacqulina 162]

An overview over the region of my CJ "Neu Preu

[Facelessman 5]

Here's my newest region:

Region is Alanuk by Blade2k5, edited by NHP in SC4Terraformer, and a little in-game terraforming.

Most of the 43,000 citizens of the region live in a couple of small towns west of the mountains.

[Duvad 26]

Here's my Australian-based city that I've been working on for about 2 months now. I'm hoping to expand it to over 1,000,000, over a 15km by 10-15km metropolitan area, but that could be a while off. Here it is at 113,000.

And here is a transportation view: a little old (few days ago).

Very nice region pictures everyone, your making good progress with yours Asimov.

[Giligone 10]

I keep forgetting the actual size comparisons. How many large city squares would a 15km city area be?

[capitol1 1]

This is just copy and pasted straight out of my cj...

Mmmk hers some satelite pictures of other current projects im working on besides surion...

I think a large city sqaure is 4Km....

4 large city tiles......

[BurroDiablo 222]

Nice regions people, especially Gridlock... that region is immence!

Heres mine, Siberia... not really the inhospitable wasteland it is in reality. I made the region by hand and i've been adding to it for about a year and half now... the leveling is dodgey so you can kinda tell where one city starts and ends.

[jacqulina 162]

wow these shots are awesome fantastic work you guys

[dadyrghluv 8]

nice regions u guy's really. inspiring stuff. 

the region i plan to do now is Mt. Rainier. talk about challenging. can't wait to start!

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17169

[UnkleS27 24]

man, good luck it with that region dadyrghluv, it looks really challenging. Should be fun though

Here's one of my regions I've been working on lately

[Pixelrage 34]

great job with those roads UnkleS27, it's a nice mix of twists and grids.

[dedgren 830]

Here's a current region view (from Region Census with a few extra proprietary processing steps) of Three Rivers Region, which I have recently expanded, as explained in my CJ, to 16 by 16 large city squares in size.

I am in the process of doing basic through superdetail terraforming of the entire region prior to building anything.  I've done the basic stuff in rows one and two at the top of the pic, about half of row three and two on the left end of row four.  I'm planning that city development would be a collaborative process- if you are interested in participating, check by my CJ from time to time.  That phase is still down the road a bit.

Here's a few shots from the basic terraforming.  There are many more over at 3RR.

Thanks for checking this out.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent region david nice work

[Facelessman 5]

16x16? Wow. I feel almost overwhelmed trying to do an 8x8 large tile region.

[Sim shady 12]

well i have a region that i have put my heart and soul into (*cough cough* check signature*cough cough*) however i am deeply discouraged by the edge and reconcile program. the borders of some of my mountains on city tiles do not match up at all...

[Pixelrage 34]

The only way to make them appear to look seamless is to have the mountains a little larger to the south, and a little shorter to the region north of it. When you're doing them side by side, that's where it starts looking awful

[Homeless_Hobo 0]

Wow...how do you guys make the really green regions with all the beautiful forrests

[Facelessman 5]

Well, one thing is these trees:

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12362

Those trees make much better forests than the Maxis trees.

[Homeless_Hobo 0]

What about in the beggining of the thread when people had those beautiful and lush greener regions, with the snow capped mountains? And how are the regions so BIG!?

this for example

[Joe 90 358]

I can answer that one!

Believe it or not that's the original terrain textures completely covered over with either farms, trees (gazillions of Cycledogg's Douglas Pines - see Facelessman's link), or snow (I forget which snow mod). You can't actually see any of the original terrain under it all.

On region size - they can be as big as you want! Do a search for config.bmp and you'll probably run into a tutorial or something about making custom-sized regions. But be warned - that's 8x8 large cities, it's the only region I've worked on, and I've been working on it since before I joined here.

[Homeless_Hobo 0]

Can cities be bigger than the default biggest size they come? :\

Wowee...so you really say those are all regular textures! The snow mod is the thing I'm looking for...man...It's hard to find good texture mods, the ones I've found are a bit too obscure..

Well, i guess I'll check out the tree mod again and do something with that.

[Facelessman 5]

For good texture mods, check out cycledogg's stuff here:

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&keyword=cycledogg&type=all

There's a lot of great trees and rocks and maps, but you'll also find Painted Desert, Missouri Breaks, Olympic, and Columbus terrain mods.  All of them are very good.
