Show us your Nature!

Crane Lake. Inspired by a bunch of places around where I grew up.

*snip*

Interesting! I like the small town feel next to the little lake. Would like to see a more gradual dispersion of development from the city to the country...

Indeed, I hadn't really worked on much of that in the earlier pictures. Here's the current view:

 

With some water bug added to challenge your suspension of disbelief... it was either that or zots though, tough call.

Simply amazing. Really reminds me of some of Badsim's content. And that is a huge complement.

Looks amazing, as I said on your CJ thread.

And wow, I had forgotten about badsim's stuff... been a while since I last looked at it.... that's some really insanely detailed stuff.

I made a small campground for one of my cities

I made a small campground for one of my cities

 

It looks good, but i would make three small alterations:

 

a) I would use HD trees, it would give the image more quality.

b) In the pile of gravel, you can always add some gravel in the ground, for it to blend more nicely.

c) In those big rocks, you can add some smaller rocks around them (sparsing imo).

 

That said, I liked it, and camps do look like that.

A place for fishing or other seaside stuff. It was very pristine before the I-96 came through. Nowadays old man Herschel is the only one who ever comes around, despite the fact that there's hardly any fish still around. Poor Herschel.

[raynev1 1,887]

@__B That really looks nice . might I ask . How did you get Gray sand on the beach ? 

Poor Herschel  . He knows there's hardly any fish . But can't blame a guy for trying . Sometimes it just feels good to be out in nature .

Thanks! I can't remember the name of the mod exactly, but it's not hard finding custom textures on the STEX or LEX.

I was getting an Indian MMP file that I made a while ago ready to put up on the STEX and I decided to 'paint' a little scene to highlight the possibilities:

@SimCougNever mind the great Indian MMPs, I'm just loving that river!

[Compdude787 916]

Wow, that is one heck of a nice scene there!

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Scree slopes, pine forest and a lake. (WIP)

[Compdude787 916]

That. Looks. Awesome!

[TakemeThere 5,834]

Nature's not really something I've focused on a whole lot lately, except for when I'm trying to create scenes for my telecommunication towers;

The last photo is stitched between two different cities and I wanted to create a different looking mountain in each.

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Great scree slopes takemethere! Where did you get those small white rocks which come in clusters?

Thanks for that, these are the rocks I am looking for.

Cows grazing in a field, can't get more natural than that.

[philforhockey51 4,220]

I agree that is Nature but I also think this is.

River scene from Faverdale.

 

The same river in Faverdale, except this picture was taken upstream.

 

[11241036 5,115]

Pretty good work with the riverbanks, philforhockey! Like it.

This is mayor 11241036' favourite relaxing spot, in a swamp close to a small village. Hope you like it.

[philforhockey51 4,220]

A couple of bathers are having a good day but... here come the bears. One just decided he would cross the street and stop traffic.

Augill Forest.

[philforhockey51 4,220]

I must admit, I really like this image because it reminds me of a major U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project recently carried out here San Antonio to restore the watershed and ecosystem of the "Mission Reach" segment of the San Antonio River downstream from downtown.  Historically, San Antonio was a city of spring-fed streams and creeks feeding a lazily meandering river, but this natural system along with its slow water flows and wildlife was radically altered by starkly over-engineered urban flood control projects which are only now being slowly rectified.  It will be many years before the reintroduced riparian woodlands and aquatic habitats of the Mission Reach Ecosystem Restoration and Recreation Project take hold and mature, but your image gives a perfect idea of what to expect from our city's vast "regional" San Antonio River Improvements Project, the largest urban landscape project San Antonio has undertaken.
