I like those sand textures. But I think the water texture is a bit lighter in real-life as the river(s) reflect the sunlight.

SWEET!  My buildings... I'm so proud...

Anyways keep up the great work!

BTW... I might redo the big 3 and make the MTS building to scale and with the improved BATting techniques I learned while making the ERC... don't expect anything soon, just saying that I will in the future...

Very cool start.

Looking forward to see what you do with the forks!

Very nice! But Winnipeg isn't really that brown, is it? Maybe you could make it nice and snowy.

this is in the north end some were along burrows

note: in the real world there is no freeways in winnipeg

burrows and main in the real world does not hae stop lights but looks simlar other than main street has 4 lanes on each side and burrows has a wide meadian were street cars used to run infact at one time take a street car could get you to anywere in the city

[hyped_up_boy 15]

looks good, although you have a bit of a garbage and delapidation problem.  keep up the good work.

[1ajs 49]

the north end has a simlar problem in real life........

[sloppet 3]

good work there!

Looks good. It would be great to have another Canadian recreation to go with the Edmonton and Toronto journals. I liked seeing the downtown pic. I was in Winnipeg once for three days for my thesis research. I'm working on a masters in political science and my area of expertise is campaign contributions in local elections. Winnipeg is part of my research so I was there for three days at City Hall. To pay the folks at City Hall for all the photocopies I needed, I ran down to the TD branch in the base of their bank building on Portage and Main. I have seen that BAT around, but I didn't place it until I saw it here in your journal. Nicely done. Neat to recognize the spot. As for the brown, I think it is better than green... at least until someone makes a terrain mod that reflects the dusty dry grasses of the Canadian prairies.

I like the suburb looks, still a bit to much grid for me. Keep going !

[1ajs 49]

most of the suburban sprawl is in the western part of winnipeg or the south not real much in the north besides the map does not go far enuf north for the burbs to realy start

[eggie99 6]

cool desert look,
keep on!

[Fabiocb 1]

cool, really nice and will love to see the PEG recreated.

Hey I'm also from winnipeg, I've been trying to find GIS data for the city (without having to pay for it!!) does anyone know where this can be found?? also one of the problems I've had is the fact that around downtown there are two (differently oriented) grids that come together... look on google maps/earth and you'll see what I mean!!

Thanks! Chris
