Thanks for all

I have to understand how I can insert elements such as columns, sculptures in buildings without them being damaged in Gmax by pixels

One thing that's lacking in SC4 is a Soup Kitchen. This one is from NYC and is purpose built (quite possibly the shiniest soup kitchen I've ever seen).

It will be available soon....

My newest sports college. Still needs trees and such.

Working on some industrial , rowhome districts.

This type of train in road setup is something you see in North Philly. I'll post a closeup of the completed area soon

Also, I'm trying to embed this without any success. Anyone know how?

 

got it thanks @matias93

You weren't looking at your ceiling light when you came up with this idea, maybe?

Since I researched the Mad Max universe for my latest map, I am now doomed by Google to receive every update pertaining to the films in perpetuity.  So I am sad to announce that Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played Immortan Joe in Fury Road and Toe Cutter in Mad Max died yesterday. Not a good week for movie villains with David Prowse (the "body" of Darth Vader) passing earlier this week. RIP to both.

It's really a scaling issue, certain details, especially on smaller objects, just never get seen in-game. If a line or such of an object is not coming through in the render, make that object Taller, Wider and/or Higher, until it does. You soon get a feel for what works and what doesn't, but it's kind of a trial and error process.

     What could these lovely mountain valleys be used for?     

 

Some fellow Simtropolitan mayors should know or have a good guess...

SM2 Deepwater Oil Terminal is getting more populated. Just a few more items left (including the oil loading arms) and its done.

Time to learn the texturing part... (unless I screwed something up in the modeling part)

Looking very nice, can't wait. Just a thought, I could see the current form used on land next to some rail lines or so.

[Simmer2 23,831]

@Kloudkicker I already made an oil loading/unloading facility for land usage.

You will find it in this upload along everything you need to create an oil depot.

Yo, guys --

Once again...a few more shots from Wilhelmshaven South --

Squeezed in, between the old business district and the waterfront Opera House, you have the "Lufthansa Platz".  Urban clearance made this spot available and a "tax deal" with the city enticed Lufthansa to move their headquarters to town.  I did a double placement of the building lots, rotating them to be more symmetrical -- added plenty of parking at the rear -- did some MMP work on the lots, themselves -- and finished with Paeng Ped-Mall style paving pieces and Paeng Park Paths.  Between the two buildings, you can see a 4x4 custom plaza with a fountain.  This piece was engineered to add more jobs to the lots as well as to generate more vehicle traffic in the area.  Just adding a bit here and there makes a "modernist monolith" a lot more cozy.

 

On the right, overlooking the natural shoreline, I placed the @mattb325 "KBBI" Radio Station in a semi-secluded, wooded area.  The building looks small compared to its' neighbors, but the 1920 - 1930 Art-Deco architecture is magnificent.  Art-Deco is, perhaps, one of the most interesting forms of architecture because the fluid form literally invites innovation.  Beside the radio station, "MattB" has also provided us with the "Modern Bureau Of Bureaucracy".  I love this building.  He started with a rare "sunken entrance stairway" for beginners -- and follows it up with a strong, clean, facade filled with windows.  The "monolithic" structure has "bureaucracy" written all over it.  To the rear of the buildings, I used the Jenex Paris Embankment Walls to border the shore, and created a small platform to provide a place of prominence for my custom "Prussian War Memorial".   

 

Across the road is the "Eglise de la Madeleine" by "porkissimo".  This classically beautiful building was started by Louis XVI in 1777 and, after many fits and starts, was finally finished by Emperor Napoleon in 1814.  Over two centuries, the building and underground vaults have been put to many uses, but stands today as a premier tourist attraction.  I have "balanced" and "trimmed" the lot with Paeng PedMall pieces as well as fountains and statuary.  This piece was finished long before @Raymond7cn released his beautiful statues and I, reluctantly, chose not to alter the "balance".

On the east side of the building, just across from the seawall promenade, is a "public market" that has been there almost from the very beginning.  The tree-lined expanse offers open air shopping as well as an interesting place to stroll and watch the different people coming and going.

 

On the west side of the building, I recreated the street vendor stalls of the open market and added a small "homage".  Three of the stalls constitute a tribute to the many beautiful open-air Flower Markets found in Paris -- and was inspired by a scene from the 1963 movie "Charade", with Audrey Hepburn and the inimitable Cary Grant.  Enjoy, Mon Amie!

Here is a coal power plant, fuel depot and rail repair yard within an industrial district (city). It's 'next door' to the coal mine.

Thank you but, been there, downloaded that. I love trains so I am very aware of your fantastic work. But always love the tips too.

@Korver Did you make that church?

 Right now I am working on a baroque style church but I doubt I will finish it this year xD

Impressive cities. 

Does that industrial section above have mass transit to enable workers to get there efficiently from residential areas?
