Emory Hills, old port district

[sffc 16]

Mesmerizing!

It's clear that you've been putting a lot of time a lot of Move It! into this (something I haven't found the patience for!).

Back up in the first post, you posted this image:

What transit network is that?  Are you using a mod to change the look of the tram network, or is it a metro network with MOM?  What station asset is it?

[Leeijo 314]

Custom bus and train hub Cali style.

Thanks! 

Those are actual tram tracks made by brunna. They are using the meshes from MOM though. They are also a bit glitchy with nodes not displaying properly and I had to adapt one version to allow stops on them. But with a bit of work it works really good!

The station is all built with props.

The southern suburbs of Rosewood and Primrose are starting to actually look like something... Here are some morning shots:

What are those long, narrow houses in the lower left corner, between the street and the railroad tracks?

If you mean the two story apartment buildings, check out the previous page a couple of posts back. Those are dingbats I'm working on at the moment. 

If it's the low res houses, they're on the workshop, my SoCal houses.

Had this peninsula close to Rosewood that I kind of wanted to make a mountain out of. Have mostly found terrain modifications to be an necessary evil, but I'm quite happy with how these turned out. Also means I can finally start finishing these suburbs and move on to downtown!

[Matthias King 348]

I believe it's the dingbats. I'm looking forward to those. Very SoCal.

There is a another video coming, soon!

Probably this weekend, and it will feature the creation of the custom bus terminals I have been making, as well as an xml for MoveIt with the basic version for you to simply copy and paste. Don't miss it!

[Leeijo 314]

Didn't make it up this weekend, but here it is!

(Also, if you're interested, check out the MoveIt xml linked in the description for the base terminal to use in your city)

Currently working on a hilly area between downtown and the upper plains called Menlo Heights. Repetitive work detailing but it'll be nice when it's done!

[Leeijo 314]

Trying to finish the southern parts, showcase of them is the next thing planned, I think...

Part of this is finishing the central parts of Rosewood centered around the Anna Marks street station. Who is Anna Mark? I don't really know

Anyone up for a guess where the inspiration for this came from?

This is a really nice city journal, I really enjoyed looking at these screenshots

 

[Leeijo 314]

One of the bigger areas to finish in the south suburbs was an area with heavy rail yards and two intermodal terminals. 

[Leeijo 314]

Couln't help it, but with the truly awesome pack of cubemaps just released by Ronyx, I had to take some scenic shots from a couple of places in the city.

[Leeijo 314]

I wanted to do an area with a golf course nestled in between the houses. Haven't been that keen on the different assets for golf courses there are before, colors are all wrong. With the painter mod that could be fixed though! Completely different result when colors match the theme better. Quite happy with how this is turning out!

Episode 05, cinematics part one of the southern suburbs that are more or less complete now!

 

[Leeijo 314]

Currently taking some time doing some infrastructure and creating some more SoCal models. These three screenshots of Primrose suburbs will have to do for now. This area will be included in the next episode of cinematics of the southern suburbs.

Looks good! I hope for more California assets in the near future. Pres is doing great with Calavera Beach - but regarding some stuff (hillside housing, mansions) it's kind of hitting a wall with off-size buildings and ugly textures...

Well, since he actually already mentioned it, I'm working on it!

[Leeijo 314]

Filling in some blanks for next episode. One of them was around a station which turned out to be a modern development with the tracks covered by a natural roof. Still W.I.P.

I have also been working on the colors a bit. With some help from Pres I'm more satisfied with the result. Always find color and light settings hard and I am never really satisfied, but this is better (i think  )

 

[Leeijo 314]

There's quite a bit of transportation focus in Emory Hills. Unnatural since it is US west coast base, but natural for me since it's my profession. I'll justify it by saying this is a more "modern" and developed version of a west coast city in that regards.

Your city is just awesome/amzing !!

How did you do to put trees on the "bridge" of the third picture ?

What are the houses in picture 4 ?

Great job !!

Looking at this, it's amazing how far we've come realism-wise! You've done a great job!

There are several different ways for the trees. There is a tree anarchy mod but that conflicts with Unlimited trees which I need so what I did was create a small cube building on which I placed a tree. That way I can elevate it without issues.

As for the apartments on the hill I believe you are asking about, it's the Astergea flats by Lost Gecko:

Thank you for your answer. I did not understand your cube story, but thank you.

 

I know the conflict between these 2 mods, which penalizes me too much, because obliged to choose the unlimited trees instead of anarchy.

The second, and last, part of the southern suburbs is out, check out 12 minutes of awesome cinematics!

And if you like it, make sure to subscribe as there is a lot more to come from this series.

Starting to work a bit on some of the downtown areas. First up is the part which is now a gap towards the southern finished suburbs. This includes a partly covered metro station and a bus terminal with direct access to the highway:

[Hrafninn 2]

Wonderful! 

The detailing is really 10/10.

Here are some screens of the Butler district station with it's modern development covering the tracks and connecting the two sides. From the last cinematic episode!
