Feindbolds Buildings

Modtools should be the way to go.

Thanks for the info, your set is fantastic for medium density. Being able to make a proper height gradient from suburbs to hi-rises is really good.

Ok weird, when I try to upload additional screenshots to the workshop, the workshop is suddently only using the thumbnails, so all uploaded pictures are extremly lowres and blurry. Is this a known problem? Everything was fine a few hours ago.

edit: ok its not only me, checked the latest uploads and they have all blurry lowres shots.

Still waiting for steam to fix the pictureupload problem So no release until this happens
But as you can see on the right side (the 6 story) I added a 1 story extension prop for fireescapes (allready released)

[Cool_Z 1,547]

What a nice view !!

 

Yeah I noticed some people had super low res pictures on their uploads today 

[cmdp123789 710]

Liking them! You know, your work reminds me of Aaron Graham's work. You are particularly filling those holes that we all need, the "fillers" to actually be able to build a whole city.. That's why, for your Manhattan theme, I would recommend some of his work as inspiration. Those Manhattan buildings look good, but if you were able to create some "residential towers" and some Manhattan offices, but not landmarks necessarily, but rather the filler ones, that would be awesome too.

Also, remember that depending on what part of Manhattan you are basing your buildings, some will have stores downstairs, and some will not, so a mix would be also good.

in any case, I'm loving your work so much, and I even left you a comment in your last upload. 

[Cool_Z 1,547]

I noticed some pics on my old assets were blurry too, so the steam problem is not about the new uploads but more general (but still, uploading something new might be a bit sad if it suffers the bug, not very attractive).

Thank you! I know and love Grahams work, these lovely Park Ave. "Towers" are more or less the finishline, eg L5,.. so you have to wait a bit for that^^. But trust me, Im prepared. I have allready a collection with about 400 facades from brooklyn, bronx and manhattan, sorted by amount of stories and purpose .

About shops downstairs, should be fine the way it is so far, maybe I have to do some more rowbuildings with shops though.


Something else:

I finished an kind of old building I started a long time ago and never showed something, because it was too little done: the Kales Building in Downtown Detroit, gonna release it as a ploppable first, maaaybe growable office or residential later, as the building used to be a office building but is a residential building since 2004. Hope someone will kiss awake its neighbor on the other street some day . Textures arent that great, but I guess okay enough.

That building looks dope! and having it as a plop is surely the best way.. after all, it is better off as a landmark. And yes.. I knew somehow that you were aiming for it.. that's why I became a fan the second I got to see your work.. I have downloaded everything from the shop, and my cities are basically made out of your buildings exclusively!

Keep up the good work and let's get down to those 400 facades into 400 buildings

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Feindbold, I love you work keep rit up!!!  

I have bought Cities Skylines, maybe I will make some buidling for the game as well as continue to bat for Sim City4.

Oh my god Aaron Graham here. I'm dreaming. Aaron, we need some of your Park Avenue residential buildings...

Feinbold, could you make a small tutoriel about the way your are working ? ( how do you select a building in google map (?) ; angle of your screens, number of screens, the screenshot before / after you work on it (photoshop ?)) Especially for big buildings, the deformation of the pictures is really important (for cornices, roofs... parts at the top).  I'm asking myself how you use these screens.

Sure, I can do that, though in comparison with your sharp textures, you will definitly loose sharpness and texturequality using my "method".

At first, I search for a nice building using Streetview, sometimes it is nessesary to go back in "time", because the choosen building is in direct sunlight, luckily, this one is not:

Than I take a few shot, depending on the height usually between 2 and 5.

Next step is to combine these shots to a panorama and select the facade using the perspective crooping tool:

Now the real "fun" begins (next 3 pictures are sized down ), here is a before picture:

This gif (if it loads ) shows the workflow:

If this is not working, here are all pictures in an Imgur collection:

here is the final version ready to use, not extremly sharp, but good enough for Cities Skylines:

Fantastic! Congrats on a new upload!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Wonderful work!!!

 

Thank you for the help.

[namspopof 117]

You make an excellent work Feindbold. I like it !

Thank you

I kinda forgot to give you a status update on a few new things, mainly because ST was down.

I got a lot of request for low commercials,.. like really a lot. Ithought I give it a try again and did a few buildings, there are even more buildings finished, but not visible here, as these shots are a few days old Maybe I post more pictures in a few hours.

 

[cmdp123789 710]

Looking good! Yeah.. those are pretty amazing.. by any chance do you happen to have high commercials? it would make a nice mix you know.. =)

[Roadman20 601]

Oh man, swwweet!

[Matthias King 348]

Have your new buildings not been published yet?

[Attercap 123]

How are these buildings with my collection ?

It's my territory, you know.

They fit (though there is the 1m gap between facades lines...)

But there is one exception, your hoffman buildings stands out, not only to my buildings but to your other buildings aswell, its extremly bright and saturated:



Odly, the LOD of the hoffman building is way less saturated and bright,..  maybe you forgot to change the texture on the main model?

[Attercap 123]

Yeap, the Hoffman is a quite old model. I have to texture it again.

Unfortunally I cant take this time actually, deadline for my personnal work is 12, january We will see after.

[Feindbold 1,190]

More stuff, all corners are done. I think I need to do one 2x4 row building and the variety is where I want it to be. Might release them today or tomorrow:

[Avanya 2,605]

Those are gorgeous! Can't wait to have them in my game

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

I been away for a little bit. Seeing these updates makes me eager to develop my next city.

[Turjan 1,048]

Indeed. I'm very much looking forward to seeing these in my city.

[Judazzz 1,936]

Superb, they look amazing (really cute little shops!)
Would it be possible to have a few Brooklyn-/Manhattan-styled Office buildings as well (so we can create fully equipped neighborhoods in those themes)? It doesn't have to be large ones - just think residential/commercial buildings re-purposed as offices (quite common in gentrified area's as housing for local entrepreneurs and start-ups, etc.) In fact, it could even be the same models with a few different props to identify them as office space.

[Vals Loeder 27]

Awesome!
