Not bad, really. Which types of traffic does it support, though (bus, car, freight truck, pedestrians)? This would be interesting to know. Also, doesn't it interfere with any subway line already existing?

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

Well, that update from the NAM team certainly seems like it will streamline my downtown highway intersections.

Roll on, 39!!

As you can easily see it is a corner building and also W2W, if you want. The side with the mural was previously adjacent to a building that has now been demolished.

My jaw was on the floor the whole time

Did you say that there is no possible way for U drive it?

Will ai travel through the entire tunnel without disappearing?

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT, my friend !!!

Among my many interests is archaeology -- and your pictures are most welcome!

Yo, guys --

Back to Wilhelmshaven South......

Moving north along the west side of "the inlet", we come to the "Shinonome Business Complex" perched on the upper level with a pier and small riverside park below.  (This is directly opposite the lower marina over on the "Manhattan-style" island.)  Over on the left end, you see Ardmore Investments and 5657 Wilshire Blvd ( both by @mattb325), with the Cerulean Tower Office Bldg, and the sprawling Shinonome Gardens Office grouping.

 

Anchored just below the complex is a large cabin cruiser.  The wealthy folk on board chose to lie-to here, rather than go to the Kaiserhoff Hotel.  It is fairly easy to take a water taxi ashore and access the fine dining restaurants as well as the flashy entertainment of the big city.  It seems that the Kaiser is vacationing at the Kaiserhoff and His Imperial Majesty is well known as a stickler for "Court" etiquette -- rather dull and quite lacking in "entertainment".  Plus -- the picture is for @The British Sausage.     The landscape is mostly MMP work -- with a few custom tree filler lots, Heblem Sands, cattails by @Girafe, and NBVC corals, rocks, and sailboats.

 

This is the City Municipal Pier for the Water Police and Fire boat, designed with a small public boardwalk, fishing pier, food kiosk, and plazas for the quiet pursuits of leisure -- mostly to offset some of the operating costs.   The scene is composed entirely of the old PEG sets with MMP landscape and modified boardwalk lots to provide access ramps at both ends.  The night lighting is a nice touch along the shoreline of a large city.

 

The Shinonome Business Complex has an impressive plaza / promenade along the waterfront with landscaped pathways, spacious plazas, and the relaxing atmosphere of several spouting fountains.  There is a two-level access stairway leading down to the Municipal Pier and the "Riverwalk Gardens" along the shoreline.  On the mid-level landing of the stairs, there are two "Chess Parks" provided for the serious lunchtime players.

The pathways are "modified" Paeng, stairs by @T Wrecks,  the Minerva Fountain, custom 1x1 PedMall textured paving lots, custom sandstone textured retaining walls, custom 1x1 tree filler lots, and MMP landscape.  The oblong fountains are "modified" from the @tariely re-lot of "Obelisk Place".  She did such a beautiful job with them that I simply had to have them for this, particular, layout.

 

There are four different hues of night lighting in this picture that, oddly enough, seem to come together quite well.  I was originally inspired to create this block of buildings because of the unusual green-blue glow of the Shinonome Gardens lot (so much so, that I plopped it twice).  The over-lighting of the fountains shows up nicely, and I can imagine strolling among them after an evening performance at the nearby opera house. 

 

A bit off-topic: 

It was announced this morning that Dame Diana Rigg passed away.  If you are a man of a "certain age" this has a somber significance.  I find a world without Mrs' Emma Peel in it, a much sadder place.  And -- OH!...how I wish I had been born John Steed. 

"May flights of Angels carry thee to thy rest."

It's been a while, I've been playing Flight Simulator. The cityscapes are incredible and I've been checking out how this could inspire when it comes to making lots and cities.

Anyways, this is a Hawaiian plaza with Longs Drugs (former Cali chain owned by CVS, who kept the Longs branding in Hawaii), Savers Thrift Store, and a Zippy's (a local Hawaiian restaurant with 24 locations in Hawaii)

Great work again! Thanks for the MMP picture too!

a new canal bridge added

[Barroco Hispano 26,931]

After spending $200 only on shipping costs I got a new PC 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (6C/12T)

GPU: GTX 1650 Super 4GB (It is not enough for what I need but I did not have the money to buy a better one).

RAM: 32GB Corsair Venegance 3200MHz

MOBO: Gigabyte B450M DS3H

PSU: Thermaltake 500w

Before I could handle a maximum of 5 million polygons and now I can handle more than 40 million (In the image there are a little more than 32 million triangles).

By my calculations the rendering times will be reduced by 80-90% but I haven't had time to test it yet.

New bridge with statues

I was wrong, I hardly see a gain in performance.

How come Or did you just expect too much?

[EffTheGrid 3,726]

Who was working on a series of Baltimore/formstone themed rowhouses?? I remember reading your post about making 3 buildings per tile, and I thought those measurements would lend well to a FA rowhouse block. So here's a South Philly style row! Still have some work to do on textures/roof junk, but this is the gist.

 

Anyway shoutout to that user who's making the formstone houses. Thanks for the inspiration! From what I remember your project was coming along great. These houses are a blast to make  have fun

@Barroco Hispano Lovely work here. Just wondering... How to you plan to export these creations to SC4? I would like to BAT some new catenaries sets for the Hybrid Railway HRW and would not mind some pointers.

Glad you could get you new PC up and running

Very nice! Can't tell if this is four bridges and an intersection together, or four 1x3 bridge props. Either way they look and those white lines on the intersection are subtle but a very nice touch.

Really cool! If they were a few stories higher I could use them for my New York recreation project. I have plans to create diagonal brownstone city blocks, though I could do FA if there are the buildings for it, right there aren't any buildings for diagonal brownstones, or (right now) FA brownstones. All you need for these models is several variations and the FA garage to be complete.

 

Creating orthogonal brownstone city blocks is very easy.

 

But right there are zero ways of creating diagonal brownstone city blocks. I plan for diagonal city blocks (in the top left area of the picture) to break up the grid and to half-emulate that area of Brooklyn...

 

Though I could work in some FA if you release these models which are pretty amazing!

The ultimate plan is to develop enough pieces to do that! When I make taller buildings, they will be a different format as you don't really see 13 ft wide, 5 story buildings lol. So probably double width of these. That would be more authentic to the kinds of buildings we have in NY anyway.

But I have an absolute ARMY of these lil guys right now. 

Anyway I'm glad you like them. I'm working on some recolors. I want to ret up a prop family for thse but I'm not exactly sure what that entails, or what I'm talking about. So it's in the pipeline!

go birds!
