and yours ?...

[Fox 1,444]

Hmmm... they look pretty original to me... i wouldn't worry about them looking as though they were copied... they look great too...

I love the curves and the creativity in the shape of them... very beautiful...

 

How could I not resist posting a few now...

 

Using Simgoobers canals to make a residential estate...

 

Using Oppies canals for a picturesque and tranquil monestery...

 

A Royal Palace...

 

Let's not forget that canals aren't just for the luxury parts of town...

 

 

Let's see some more interesting designs... Even I need some inspiration some times..

@Fox: If I wanted to use one water texture for PEG's, Simgoober's and Oppie's canals, how would I go about it other than editing each lot with LE?

If you mean for Oppie's canals (the ones with the darker blue water in the last picture), you have to go to SimCityCentral.net .
You have to register there to be able to download.

The other ones (green water) you find on STEX.

OK, I was ready to go beserk until I realized that SuperBeber corrected his Mistake in the very next post. Thanks SuperBeber, and thank you to everyone else for helping this thread get off on the right track.

How do you guys get boats do us your canal system? I've placed canals only in a few of my cities, so I'm not sure if they show up on their own or not. I always thought it was strictly eye candy...

I think you misunderstood my question, I am looking for bridges for canals for the one I have which is the green water one from the STEX.

My CJ is currently building a new canal estate, but I have a picture of a different one from my CJ...

My inspiration for the canal estates is Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia which has 9 time as many canals as Venice.

The New Brisbane Gardens in New Brisbane, New Hague are kinda interesting (find them in my CJ, the New Hague):

[SamFlash 0]

Unbelievable, those are some awesome canals.  I've avoided them to this point as just a bunch of hard work for no apparent purpose except eye candy.  Now I'm going to have to rethink my position. 

[Cjah 15]

 

More parking was added next to the new City Hall.The Snake Eyes Casno is expected to see a rise in guests due to the canal bringing tourist in.

 

Enjoy my canal....

Its a bit diffent from the normal style (as seen here) and the edges look a bit bad, but other than that its quite effective. The only problem is that you have to plan it out before you build anything, which did cause a few problems.
