    COMMENTS

    skyliner22: Thanks! 9.gif I'm going to be switching around cities, I was a bit inspired to make some New York mosaics last week which explains all the New York influence you saw 4.gif I photoshopped the 5 lane one way streets.

    suplado: Thanks!

    2nerdy4u: Thank you, and yes, New York would be a very different place without the cabs 3.gif I'm sorry to say the 5 laned one ways are photoshopped, sorry, I want them just as much as you do, heh.

    bbfan02: Thank you! Glad you liked all the taxis! 4.gif

    Schulmanator: lol, Thanks Bruce! 9.gif

    jugioh1012: Thanks! I photoshopped the 5 laned one ways.

    KUVACHIM: Thanks! Glad you liked the mosaic and the tutorial 4.gif

    C0ckatoo-210893: Yeah, lol, I've done 3 mosaics with the Empire State as a centerpiece, sorry, there's just something about that part of manhattan that makes me want to recreate it many times 3.gif Glad you liked it though!

    dadyrghluv: Sorry, that's the truth 15.gif Thanks for the very nice comment!

    panthersimcity4: lol, Thanks! 9.gif

    Giligone: Yeah, I didn't feel it would be NYC without the one way avenues, so I decided to do it myself instead of wait for the mod to come out. I'm glad you liked it!

    Rive85: Thank you 4.gif

    ky72x: Thanks! I used a lot of Jason and nofunk's awesome new buildings and the result came out very well I think!

    DarkEldar: lol, Thanks 4.gif

    connorc24: Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!

    patriots_1228: You too? 3.gif Why does everyone hate that building, I don't think it's that bad 3.gif but yeah, taxi madness in New York is just like in this mosaic, at least it was like that when I visited 3.gif

    Photoshopped? Noooooo!

    Anyway, great update. Those are some great skyscrapers you have there. One thing I love about your CJs is that all of the sidewalks are constant and uniform. That's gotta take some work.

    Another great mosaic. Do you just build the areas you do the mosaics of?

    yea i figured they were photoshopped. more of that stuff would be good. if u have it, a region shot would probably look really nice as well. just how big is your plugin's folder anyways? ROFL. mine was just under 1.5gb and still didnt look this good.

    Oh man that avenue is too cool. 9.gif I love the contrast between the tall buildings and the wide road. I have one question though, why have you turned off the shadows? If your computer is too slow to keep them on all the time, you could turn them on just for when you're taking pics.

    Excellent work again! And great show w/ the avenues! Is that one a pedestrian stoplight?

    Oh, and btw, here's another tune, I'm feeling like Xzibit these days hehe: 2.gif

    And there's the hot-dawg,

    Who has just hit the top!

    And anyone's him told,

    Keep up the good work!

    Yeah!

    Y'know he plays the 4th of SC,

    But he's no more at the ABC,

    'Coz he shows it - yeah - at the X-Y-Z!

    "concrete Confusion"

    been taking poetry classes? 3.gif

    i think people hate the building because it looks like a tall version of the taj mahal which DOES NOT belong in any simcity city that is not based on mumbai. Good work on the new mosiac, i like the glassy buildings.

    Another excellent mosiac! I like the buildings you used. Do you use a traffic generator?

    Wow! So you got a new thread; I knew it was just a matter of time. Your "Concrete Confusion" looks very good, just one question: where do they park? I shouldn't even ask as I wouldn't have an answer if someone asked me. You need some kind of a label..."Trixie Guaranteed" or something. Excellent work. 9.gif

    That's a good blend of skyscrapers! It looks pretty cramped there, but the huge avenues lined with plazas even it out. What is the white building at the right-hand side of the mosaic towards the bottom? Also, what is that blue building with the small windows right above it? Those two buildings really caught my attention. Lately I've been finding a lot of buildings that I like but don't have in several different CJ's! Anyway, keep up this beautiful work.

    - Kyle

    Skram: Thanks!

    Mikeaut1: lol, Thanks Mike! 4.gif Glad you enjoyed it!

    jugioh1012: lol, Thanks 3.gif

    2nerdy4u: Sorry about that, heh. The uniformity doesn't take long, I have a sneaky trick 9.gif Thanks for the comment!

    Giligone: Thanks 4.gif For the New York City I'm building it accurately at a pace, but most of the areas I just build aren't functional and just eyecandy 3.gif

    dralin321: Thank you!

    c0ckatoo-210893: Thanks! 4.gif I thought the 5 laned avenues were enough photoshopping lol, but okay, I'll see what I can do next time...

    skyliner22: lol, Thank you! 9.gif

    dadyrghluv: Regions shots? Don't think I'll have many of those, I hate doing them 3.gif My plugin folder is about 1.8 GBs right now, but I have a lot of junk I need to delete. My computer has been super laggy, which is why it took so long to get this mosaic finished and posted 3.gif

    Mulefisk: Thank you! 4.gif I've had my shadows turned off for as long as I can remember, I have a bug where my shadows just come out as black blobs, so I guess I just turned off the shadows and never thought about them since lol.

    gabry85: Thanks! That is a pedestrian stoplight, I think I downloaded it off a thread in sc4devotion, don't have the exact link though. Nice poem...I mean...rap 10.gif

    panthersimcity4: ahaha, Thanks xD

    patriots_1228: You know me too well patriots 38.gif Nah, I just make up the mosaic titles in a few seconds, honestly lol. I guess you're right about that building, I won't use it anymore 3.gif Thanks for the comment!

    bbfan02: Traffic generators? Of course! I use every trick in the book 3.gif Thanks for the comment!

    suplado!: Thank you 4.gif

    IDS2: Thanks IDS2 9.gif The avenue was inspired by Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo, and I think they park their cars behind the buildings/underground garages, so...I'll use that as my excuse, they park underground 9.gif

    TheQuiltedLlama: You would? Hand it over then 3.gif J/k, Thanks QL 4.gif

    jacqulina: Thanks Jacky!

    penguin007: Thank you!

    ky72x: Thank you ver much, glad you picked out the details of it 4.gif About the buildings, I think you can find them linked in the Japanese gallery thread in Sc4devotion, but I'm not sure on the link exactly. I think KS_JPN made it if I am looking at the correct buildings.

    Shanna: Wow, hello Shanna! Thank you very much!

    SimRabbit123: The blue skyscraper? Which one? lol Thanks!

    Mike the Mayor: Amazing? More like annoying, I'd hate to be stuck in that traffic lol. Thanks Mike!
