BigBerta - Pictures

[The Big Z 103]

Wow, that's great! I love those pics. They look so real! I love the adjustments you've done to the pics, too.

[anarchy0029 2]

I like the Eroupean look of the city. Would like to see more.

Ok everybody, I guess you convinced me I know that sc4d is nothing compared to ST, but I like the fact that its a tight community. ST is too big

But, I guess you're right. How can I not update with all these fantastic comments?

So here we go; this will be a straight copy and paste thing, at least until I find myself with more time on my hands

Update!

Ok, this MD will be kind of a mixed bag. I'm trying lots of different things. Lately I've been building another European themed city, but in the future I hope to share some of my other projects.

Don't expect this to be regularly updated... I will update when I have the time and right now, there is a severe lack of time...

That being said, I hope I will have the time to update this more frequently in the future.

So, without further ado, I bring you the first pictures (these make heavy use of prepos diagonals):

That will have to be it for now, I have to run off. Christmas shopping

Don't worry, there is more over at sc4d that I will bring over when I have the time.

Until then, ciao

Wow, really nice use of the diagonals! Btw what are those diagonal lots next to the sandstone pavements?

[The Big Z 103]

Wow, good use of the diagonal buildings! Where did you get the parkway, though? I would love to download them! Keep up the great work!

[jacqulina 162]

very nice walkways and seawalls my friend,great buildings too,excellent work and pics

[suplado! 23]

wow -- great pics and color effect! i really like how you use the diagonal walkways and the buildings are just awesome!

@ De Ja Vu - If you mean the diagonal buildings, they were made by prepo and can be found over at sc4d by searching for prepo. If you mean the diagonal "walkways" they were made by marrast and can probably be found if you search the stex for "marrast"

@ The Big Z - If you mean the parkway in any of the last three pictures, it's actually part of the seawalls made by marrast, and like I said they can probably be found if you search the stex for "marrast"

@ Everybody else, expect an update in the morning...

[Shingure 56]

Ok, Im ready for it. Also I love your pictures. Anti grid at it's finest.

[bbfan02 23]

Great update! The sea walls look good. The city looks very colorful.

Here we go:

The city I'm currently working on is a european city. I'm going for a northern/central european feeling (not necessarily swedish )

It was named Clinton (after my dog actually) and is located on a plain with a river running trough it (much like the city I currently live in by the way, Örebro). It is divided into south and north side by the river running through the city centre.

It is primarily a commercial center, although it has it's fair share of industry (will be covered in a future update).

It is an old city, built in the typical european wall-to-wall style. Because of it's old age, the commercial buildings are mostly dual-purpose buildings, housing both stores/offices and residents. As a result, there is no real commercial center. It is scattered over the central parts of the city.

Lately some of the older buildings have had to make way for more modern comercial ones. This gives a mixture of old and new in some parts of the city.

It has a reasonably developed subway- and bus-system.

The first update was focused on residential neighbourhoods jsut outside the city center.

This second update shows similar areas, but also shows the hospital and parts of the city center.

The hospital, situated on the northern shore of the river

The avenue on the bottom is one of the main roads in the city. This particular avenue runs from west to east on the northern side of the river. There are many popular shops along the road and it's especially popular among the rich. Actually the neighbourhood in general is a rich one.

You can also see a park where the rich people get their game on

Somewhat similar to the previous picture. This is on the south side. It also features an avenue that runs from west to east, but this is mostly a residential area. The basketball courts in the park indicate that this area might not be as rich. But don't be fooled... This is one of the oldest parts of the city and it is very popular among the rich.

Teaser - suburbs

This will just be a teaser I'm afraid, only two pictures.

The pictures are the first of hopefully many depicting suburbs in the city of Clinton.

Shot of a suburb in the south of the city. This area is more or less an update of the area that won me my first (and so far only) entry in the picture competition hall of fame. One of the main roads runs from north to south just outside the left edge of this picture.

The same area, but a different angle

Thanks for your attention, see you soon again.

[bbfan02 23]

Great job! It has a great atmosphere. Very neat and colorful.

[The Big Z 103]

Wow! That's amazing! I love the teaser shot! I can't wait for your next update! Thanks for the tip. I have marrast's seawall, but I haven't really used them much. Probably why I didn't know. Thanks again!

Nice one bigberta,  you make nice European cities
