80 - Ode to Jupiter
Here's something I did almost a year ago but never got around to showing it all in a CJ entry. It's the Temple of Jupiter in the Zone called Acropolis, which I realize now is kind of a strange name since the temple is more Roman style than it is Greek.
Don't have time to go into detail about this area, but I want to get this out, so for now just take in the sights.
Unfortunately imgur has significantly reduced the quality of the pics. I'm going to have to look around for a place where I can host larger images for free (5mb +). That or I'm going to have to get a subscription somewhere.
Enjoy!
Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting.
GoKingsGo: Love the last shot! Puts everything in perspective. Great work on the sunken railroads, great work on the night-lighting/nightlife feel, and great work on the marina/waterfront. This city is very impressive.
Thank you very much. Glad you appreciate it.
MissVanleider: You do know your way around a marina, and the composite at the end is fantastic!
Such great inspiration provided by other CJers helped. Thanks.
feyss: Great pictures. I especially like your editing skill and the MMP under the water
The last picture is also impressive. It's impossible to see it's two tiles
I'm also a bit curious about this last picture: how did you mange to connect the tram avenue to the other tile ?
Ah my super secret. Actually it's not hard at all. Just drag an avenue and connect it to the next tile then place the tram puzzle piece on top. Thanks.
raynev1: Another great entry with some very beautiful images . You have mad skills friend . I always enjoy your entries . That overview image at the end , simply put "Iconic" . Your entries never cease to amaze me . You definitely got it going on . Pushing the boundaries of this never ending game . Thanks , this has been very inspirational and keep up the good work .
Heh, thanks. Glad to have you along for the ride.
TekindusT: So full of life at night, right how I like it!

kschmidt: Lovely waterfront, defunct or not its´s well and trully finished nothing more to add, well done !
Thanks ks.
tariely: Ooooh (not a very technical comment, but hey, what more is there to say here ?) But I have a question : what function is supposed to have the alignment of hangars (with the rounded roofs) on the watefront (like in pict. 1, on the left) ? Some sort of open market ?
Yeah the hangars are supposed to be a marker/covered walkway. Not sure lol. Been wanting to see if I can lot some props in there but haven't gotten around to it. Thanks.
takemethere: Damn that water looks cool as hell, really wish there was a mod that could do that. The city as a whole looks great and I liked that little flare you did with the marina wall there. Mind if I ask how much time did it take for you to make it look like that and how much time you spend editing the images in general? I spend a good portion of a day just doing minor editing like cutting and stitching together mosaics for an entry. It scares me how much time it would take for me to do anymore than that. Also is there an image editing program that you favor or would recommend?
A mod like that would sure save me a lot of time. A pic with a lot of effects can take up to a couple of hours, the last one in this entry probably took longer. I use Adobe Photoshop. Thanks.
LexusInfernus: Hehehe, I love the futuristic aesthetic you got going on. Nice job!
Thanks. I'm always trying to incorporate futuristic elements. Hope to continue that trend. Stay tuned.

Don't hurt yourself now. Thanks.

Glad for it to be worthy of such praise. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Mymyjp. When are you getting back in the game?
