Awesome.  There is already an impressive collection of brick buildings with manufacturing inside, but I feel like theres never enough.  Can't wait for this one.  Looks great.

the illuminated advertisign Sign a lil bigger?

For the next one, the illuminated sign will be a bit bigger...the Scranton Electric Building

This is obviously just a rough start.....

Even as a rough start it looks good already.

3Ds Max:

Is it me or does BAT4MAX use compression for the Darknite version?

To this we must also add the compression of FSHs.

The compression on the Maxisnite version is not that exaggerated.

Yeah, thats looks perfekt. Exactly the correct "Height"  Go 4 it Dude.

This is obviously just a rough start.....

Looks like an 3x4 Lot?

[mattb325 28,891]

The Scranton Electric Building will be a 2x3 lot.

Even though many of the illuminated signs look small in the day shot, they do stand out out at night, as you can see by the shots of the factory in the game:

It should be available soon after some more testing (there will be two lots, a 5x5 and a smaller 4x4 (not shown)

[City_Slider 2,716]

The skyscraper is making progress.  Think I'll stick to smaller structures in the future ... It being fictional I had to name it, so it's Pangaea Dragon Tower.  Was originally going to name it Green Dragon Tower but a weed dispensary in Colorado already took that one.  Got some work remaining mainly on the observation deck.

Finally back after another accountancy exam and various bits of house work (and cleaning) which needed to be done.

So here's a mosaic from today's entry to whet the Christmas appetite.

I had to mess around with GIMP's controls to sharpen the picture, increase the contrast but retain the brightness!

 

 

 

On Christmas Day I will be posting not one, but two, "square" mosaics which is the closest to immersion one can get- short of actually loading up the city tile.

That stone-faced ridge is imposing -- VERY well done, old son.  The whole thing has a mass of tiny details that deserve close study.  (Wondered where you'd been off to...)

A few more pictures from Wilhelmshaven South......

Behind the Eglise de la Madeleine, we find the remnants of the old business district.  The Swiss Banking Exchange on the right, with the Bureau of Bureaucracy in the middle to regulate commerce, and the New Stock Exchange by @mattb325 on the left.  The "Old Stock Exchange" building is across the avenue to the left.  I set all the buildings back from the road and surrounded them with PedMall pieces and my custom PedMall fillers to give them a bit of space so that could stand out from the rest of the area, as well as taking advantage of the view from the top of the seawalls.  The line of trees on the right end fills what would otherwise be an empty and glaring void -- providing a pleasant place to stroll.

 

The rear of the "Exchange" area also benefits from two small park-like spaces that nicely compliment the stone work of the buildings.  The New Stock Exchange is a beautiful example of the "21st Century" architecture that has recently overtaken London.  The curves and angles of the multi-layered building are not only elegant, but they draw the eye away from the more traditional buildings around them -- and the walls are almost wrapped in windows, giving "Mattb" ample opportunity to work his night-lighting "magic" !!

 

And the last two shots are east and west views of Redwood Point -- just behind the Exchange Embankment.  Not only is it an example of the type of terrain that can be created with MMP work -- but it is mostly included for the enjoyment of @The British Sausage.  Cheers !!

It's from walking around the Lake District, I've seen up close how grass and moorland interacts with bedrock and scree. Though it took a long while finding the right tools on SC4 to try and replicate this.

Also, the watery nature scenes you created are very cool to see. It's a style completely unique to yourself!

What a splendid use of colored street lights. Very creative, how did you achieve that, by your own modification? Looking forward to seeing your CJ.

I figured this was going to look great, and it looks even better than I was expecting, awesome.

I'm guessing something like that couldn't possibly look as detailed using Gmax?

Finally I have time to work on stuff again, and make it so the roof texture doesn't look like a giant cake

SM2 Danforth Train Station is now in game. I made the final model 1x6 long with fully transparent windows and it is also Maxis vanilla rail compatible.

[korver 27,686]

[20huskies 4,699]

The Pangaea Dragon Tower is now in game. 61 stories including the observation deck, 257m high (846ft) if the spires are included.

@korver amazing work, btw ... I don't know how you keep turning those out but it's awesome.
