Entry no.6 - The First Map & Cisco Bay@nite

TakemeThere

1,066 Views

While everyone's off playing Cities: Skylines I'm sitting here making maps... but that's ok because I like making maps :)

I used mapArt's maps as the template, with a few minor changes in the legend.

Without further ado, here is the map of Cisco Bay;

I'm fairly satisfied with how it came out. Let me know what you think.

Also a peak at what the city looks like just after dusk;

My personal favorite building in the city, just love the detailing at the top:

Time to go for a drive, lets take a quick jaunt down the freeway system...

Driving southbound on highway 700, shortly after you get off the Skybridge;

For that one I employed a little photo shop trickery. Something new I've started to mess around with - horizontal flipping the image. But I think its best used in moderation, so I'll only ever use a few images per update at most.

Glad you like it :) And I hate to say it but, that's exactly what I did. Can't exactly upload it either since none of the content is mine, I just put it together. I also made a lot with not only parking but with highway lighting as well.

Thank you, there will be a lot more of the town to come. I'm working on a large big or two with multiple city wide mosaic shots, a couple of maps and a look at how the town has changed over time. This little update is just to spell me over until then since all of that is taking a little longer than I expected.

Is this based on a SC4 city? (stupid question) The map looks very realistic. How do you make one like this?

The tunnel work is incredible, especially the rail one in this entry (by the warehouse). How did you make that?

:D
I could explain it to you but it would probably be easier if I just showed you. I used the same method as this person did in the video;
