Timelapse

[earwax_man 18]

I made a timelapse of SimCity 4 growing into a city of 634,980 sims. What do you think of it?

I made highways that made a ring around the city, and then had them switch to avenue; and then that lead to the city centre. I also had a Bullet Train network thoughout the city with subway for the suburbs. I zoned high density commercial for the city centre, then high density residential, then medium, then the highway was the dividing line for low rise. I gave the entire city water and every amenity necessary. I then set the view up as this, allowed fraps to record it, and set it to speed 3 for about 30 mins.

As in advisor messages? I turn them off since I just make cities for their aesthetical value. I just use the money tree adn the plopmatic 9000.

Wow, that is an amazing video. Makes me want to play SC4 again, just a question, how did you get all those highrises at the start? I always seem to have to build up my city into that size, which takes 30 days instead of 30 minutes.

Stunning work, I watched it twice and had to stop myself from watching it for a third time

Looks like you've got design down too a fine art. Any regional cities helping with jobs etc?

Actually, the main thing i was wondering, how did you get such a high zoom? change the resolution to something high or is there some other trick?

I used a medium tile, and recorded it. Then I stretched it to HD in sony vegas 8.

Un1: This was a (small) region with just 7,500,000 sims. There was a lot of jobs in neighbouring cities. The high rise buildings at the very start of the video were landmarks.

My biggest region so far has 59,567,000 sims in it

Well, this thread was almost 2 years old, and the thread starter hasn't been active for some time. So it's closed...
