Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a cajun taste!

[Fabiocb 1]

quite nice update, I like your care with details, like those road signs placed properly and even the trees looks like placed execly on the right place.

PS. Do you use any mod to the terrain colour? I'd ask you this before, but I always forget it.

NEWS!

 

 

Here is what I recived yesterday:

 

 

Hey Mr. Beer, I am a student at Duke University, and my scholarship program (http://www.duke.edu/web/usp/) is hosting an annual symposium this year, with the title Cities. I organized a group of students who want to do a side-by-side comparison on 3 projectors (we have a room with 4 projectors next to each other) of a simulated city, a Google map of the real thing, and some tables comparing things like Population, Budget, etc. We were all really impressed by your City of Baton Rouge, and we would like the opportunity to use it in our comparison. Would you or someone else on the forum that you know be interested in being part of this symposium? Since we want this to be an interactive installation, we would need to have the actual game running on one of the projectors with the city. We would of course be taking pictures of the event, which we can post in the CJ and we would attribute your work during the symposium. The symposium is next Saturday, in a little over a week, so we appreciate your response. Look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Ilya -- Ilya A. Voytov Duke University '06 919.724.9502 iav@duke.edu

 

Someone are interested?

I would like to help him/her, but my city run with a lot of plug-ins, Rush Hour expension, etc. I've proposed to takes some pictures because, if I send the copy by mail from Switzerland to North Carolina, how long does it takes?

 

 

 

RESPONSE

 

To Fabiocb: In fact, I use lots, with soccer greens in 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 size and i plop'em...

 

 

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Ah, it'd take around 9 to 14 days. Congrats, btw.

[Fabiocb 1]

OMG

you should spent hours to plop them, but it sure looks great, and congratulations about the email from the university.

 

[PhilsCafe 8]

Amazing pictures once again my friend. And congrats on the invitation. Maybe the Baton Rouge tourism agency is next ...

Anyways, I'm looking forward to your next update.

UPDATE

 

Thanks a lot my friends! It takes 10 hours to upload all my files to the server of my music band site. Hedownloaded them and run the game and all was perfect! He do his symposium this saturday...

 

As PhilsCafe says, it would be amazing that the Chamber of Commerce of Baton Rouge sende me an e-mail... we can dream...

 

 

SCOTLANDVILLE, LA - PART I

 

 

 

Here is, the SunOil refinery!

 

 

 

This complex seats next to the barge terminal and the oil powerplant (LAElectric Scotlandville Powerplant unit I, II and III)

I used the nuclear powerplant only for the cooling towers...

 

 

 

Downtown... not very impressive but you can recognize the Scotlandville Ale micro-brewery just on the bottom-right of the picture (By Simgoober)

 

 

 

Reatils along the Scenic Hwy

 

 

 

It was a long time ago I've posted a picture by

night  

 

Thanks!

Cheers,

Mr. Beer

Your city and region is not the biggest or highest I've seen on Simtro but certainly one of the most realistic!!!
And for me (I'm European: french)if your city is called with a french name: Baton Rouge (=red stick) it really incarnate the american model: orthogonal streets and large suburbs.

Good Job

[rooker1 4]

Wow, your city looks very good.  I don't think I have looked at this one before, I have to go back and start from page one.  Great work, keep the pics coming.

Ah, its a pleasure to come back here after five-six days!

I have some pictures to post here...they are the last.

Thanks jacqulina for your post!

Mr. Beer

[sloppet 3]

hope to see a new update really soon beer!

[Shadow Assassin 336]

That last image is so realistic. I love it. It reminds me of a freeway near where I live [though, it's only four lanes wide, not eight]

[ACEfanatic 7]

Well, I've gone back through what I've missed in here...

The SunOil complex is huge.  And beautiful.  *nods*

I'm really looking forward to Omaha if it all looks like that preview you showed.  After checking it out on Google Earth, it looks like a cool little city.

Speaking of Google Earth, I think you might find this interesting, Mr. Beer:

My desktop at the moment is your ortho satelite pic.  Anyway, I show a screen of it over at NE in the 'show your desktop' thread, and someone thought it was a Google Earth pic.  Here's the link:  LINK.  Job well done, methinks.

SCOTLANDVILLE, LA PART II


They are! The last (sic) pictures...
I can do special pictures with photoshop... I tried to make a satellite night pic, but it's not easy to do...

 











Sorry if the presentation is not like I did habitually, but in my replying window, a lot of options lack...

Mr. Beer

[sloppet 3]

Keep it up :zz:

[Mr. Beer 12]

REPLIES

 

To sloppet: thanks man!

To Shadow_Assassin: Thanks a lot to replying, where do you live also?

To ACEfanatic: I hope to start the Omaha's CJ soon, but yet I test some stuffs and the result is great. I'm waiting to have some realistic suburban homes with front-garage. Btw, thanks a lot!

Mr. Beer
