Whitefish Bay

This is my latest project.  What do you think so far?

It looks like you have two different city layouts in your images - one of concentric circles, and then another that's more rectilinear - or am I imagining it?

Still, I like the detail of your industrial bits - like your waterworks and power plant.

An interesting start.  Obviously you are putting some thought into what you are doing.

Best of luck.

Thanks!  I'm still just getting into doing detail work, but really enjoying it!

I do have two different layouts but its the same city.  I started with the circular layout but then was unhappy with how it looked and how it was handling the traffic.  So I scrapped it and changed to the rectilinear layout.  I tried to explain that in the album, but maybe wasn't clear enough.

heh - sorry, I was distracted by the pretty pictures and didn't realise you'd written descriptions - makes sense

I built the Whitefish Bay Golf Resort. I made a short cinematic video to display it - the first time I've done a video. I also have a few screenshots below. What do you think?

Wow!  Great looking golf course.  There's a country club in the RL Jessamine area so I probably will be back asking for tips and suggestions.  Nice work.

Thanks!

I just realized I never posted my WB Botanical Gardens.  You can read all about it and see a tour video along with multiple screenshots on my blog:  https://www.czardus.com/2017/07/15/whitefish-bay-botanical-gardens/

I've started posting content on my blog directly as a way of archiving it for myself.  But also because quite frankly I've successfully monetized blogs in the past and if I can get this one to just generate enough to buy me a new graphics card or even more RAM, then I'd be super happy.

I'm sort of moving on to my Capilano Islands project, but may come back to Whitefish Bay from time to time.  I definitely plan to make some cinematic tours and maybe finish / clean up some of the various areas in WB yet before I officially start the game in CI, so stay tuned for those.

Eh, I can't resist posting a couple teaser shots here.  Please visit my site for the rest, though!

Peaceful "nice place" sort if feeling.  It would be good to see more of Whitefish Bay at some point, yes.

As you requested...

This is my first narrated video - a tour of Whitefish Bay as a whole.  If there's any specific part you'd like to see more of, let me know!

Oh, and ignore the baby gurgles in the background.

I did a little bit of detail work today on Whitefish Bay. Here's a look at the central bus terminal.

In this video, I take a look at the new Cities Skylines Concerts DLC.  We build a festival area near Whitefish Bay University, I do some detailing around it to make it look nicer, and then we hold the first concert.

This Cities Skylines series has periodic detailing project episodes.
