WORK IN PROGRESS --

THE JADE BIGHT II -

SCHILLIGHORN:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

Finished my first city in the new region -- trying to cut down on heavy forests -- work with some JENEX stuff -- more emphasis on creating / modeling some new terrain features:

The town of Schillighorn --

 

Schillighorn Inlet:

 

Schillighorn Light -- two views

 

 

[rathefalcon 395]

@Dreadnought Great pictures!! I like the detail along the coasts.   Maybe you could enter one of these into the waterside challenge!

The MMPs along the coast look soooo legit. Great stuff.

[simmytu 605]

Put some more progress into the region compared to my first entry here. Furthermore I've even laid down the regional airport, but its far from finished though and I'm not too keen about the highway system that goes towards the airport. So yeah.

They say the orthogonal grid is too boring, so what about an octogonal grid?

[tankmank 853]

The growth of my city as of this week. It has taken me months to get to this point but i am slowly going to complete the city 

[_Michael 2,681]

Really nice animations - I love the natural growth style that has been picked up. Really pretty!

[Haljackey 17,394]

An interchange that is not full access and a rail junction / overpass

Which rail setup looks better?

1.

2.

[matias93 7,535]

1 looks better to me, because both curves seem more similar between them. Of course, knowing the traffic on both of them, it could be justified that one could be smaller than the other.

[raynev1 1,886]

You all have posted some very cool images .

Sweet , it looks like a spider web . Perfect for a near Halloween post .

I would go with #2 , less symmetrical but still has functionality . 

@tankmank I love the animation of growth on the region , nicely done . 

@simmytu That region is coming along well . I see it has attracted several likes .

WORK IN PROGRESS --

THE JADE BIGHT II -

SCHILLIGHORN:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

A few more shots from Schillighorn --

An overview of the power plant -- the chief reason for the existence of the town.

 

Some detail shots showing the plant, the rail siding, and some rail infrastructure.

 

 

And some pleasure boats at anchor in the lower reaches of the inlet.

 

[rathefalcon 395]

@Dreadnought Awesome! Great work with the fillers and freight station around the power plant – they blend so well that if I didn't recognize them, I would say that they all looked like one big lot! Also, the MMPs around the steam locomotive washing station look superb.

If I may, what are the tall skinny pine trees that you use? (For example, the ones to the right of the steam locomotives in the third picture)

[_Michael 2,681]

Working on this new city. Loads of ideas for it, so I hope it turns out well. What do you think? (Ignore the garbage and abandonment issues.  )

 

[Tyberius06 12,261]

@_Michael Wow, I like those buildings. Some of them I know but there are few of them which I don't know. What are those buildings what I put into a red circle on my attached picture? Nice work anyway

Yo, guy --

I seem to remember downloading a whole mess of trees as the dependencies for the Meadowshire Tree Controller.  Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea which prop pack they came in.

I do know they are called "Lodgepole Pine Forest" and they are by Cycledogg.

Wish I could be more help.

Thanks for the pointers! It seems they're in one of his mega prop packs, so I guess I already have them.

 

@Tyberius06 The train station is the Gare d'Orsay by xannepan (LEX): https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2656

Unfortunately I don't know the others.

The wedge-shaped building on the right is the JENEX Louis Vuiton building.

The monument on the far left is the Kaiser Wilhelm Nationaldenkmal.

[Odainsaker 2,137]

Also circled are Warsaw's Krakowskie Przedmieście 2 by ferox, Warsaw's Hotel Polonia by Mrqs, Paris's Hôtel de Ville by xannepan, Paris's Bâtiments de la Concorde by debussyman, Berlin's Germania VG by debussyman, Berlin's Equitable-Palast by debussyman, and Helsinki's Arenan talo by prepo.

Now, where did kelistmac get the Tokyo Skytree?

The model I'm slowly piddling with is a long, long, long way from getting to that level of completion, let alone getting a base:

They are not shown here, but trying to create all the exterior catwalks inside the framework almost killed my computer.  I think I have worked out a more efficient way of doing them.

Wow. Is there a special trick to get the river this accurate, looking like a a canal made with razor blade - is it the map or did you do this with terraforming brush?

My guess is one of his Spanish friend, possibly the same guy who created several other Japanese buildings for him.

A first look at the Troy Gasholder Building:

[metasmurf 705]

Been working on this for a while now. Lots of modding to get the farms the way I wanted them. 95% of the farms are  done and a majority of the transportation network laid out.

 

[matias93 7,535]

Loved those farms @metasmurf, your attention to detail is impressive! Only one question: those crops are dry farming or you plan to add irrigation canals?

[raynev1 1,886]

@metasmurf  Those farms look great . May I ask how you don't have dirt sidewalks along the farms ? 

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

@raynev1 There's an option to delete them if you get SPAM.

[Abrams 1,744]

To this day,SC4 still amazes me!

[metasmurf 705]

@raynev1 I use the file A0_Transparent_Earth.dat from this package by rivit. It also removes the dirt texture on railway.

@matias93 Irrigation canals aren't used here as far as I know, but don't take my word for it as I'm not an expert. From what I've seen, if there's not a natural source like a creek, ditches are used. These are often overgrown with bushes and weeds, like this:

I could do something like this, but it would take lots of time,  MMPing and terraforming,. It's also hard to do since my region is pretty hilly, and the shapes of the farm fields are irregular.
