The self-proclaimed 'rulers' sure like their Cleopatra Needles/Obelisks.....

It's a good thing that drab tower is going to get renovated - wonder what they plan on doing with it.   I'm guessing that's not the Maxis Arc de Triomphe you got there..

Outstanding work @korver .   I'd be interested to know how you did the roadwork around the archway...    (and some overview shots of Paris would also be cool!  )

Thanks for sharing buddy! 

Wow, this brings back memories of visiting Paris. You really have a knack for capturing the feel of the sites you feature. 

... and you did it.

I was thinking if you would be thinking of tackling that 8-lane roundabout monster Place Charles de Gaulle is and damn... you even nailed the texturing!

Just amazing. I really enjoy your entries. There is just so much detail and life to the scenes you created. Truly inspirational.

How could you not tackle 'Place de la Concorde' and 'Arc de Triomphe'? And boy did you pull them off!

Tres bien, once again!

It's almost like visiting Paris!

If only in SC4 we could be able to see the underground world that this wonderful city hides...

Nice work!!!

EDIT: I love your gifs.

That last picture -- the Arc de Triomphe -- is your best one yet.

Stunning work once again Korver. The pics of the Panthéon brings me back memories, as my university was just there, and I made my life in Paris pretty much around that building.  

Also, parisians say that best views of Paris are seen from the Tour Montparnasse observation deck... because you can't see Tour Montparnasse from there

@RobertLM78 Thank you for the nice comment! I've seen a couple of the renderings and apparently they're going to put a huge glass covering over it - it does look a bit better imo. And yeah, I used Xannepan's Arc De Triomphe opposed to the Maxis one in the update, it was too stunning to pass up. I created all the textures from scratch around it though which took about an eternity  I might consider doing another Paris update down the road, but I'm working on about 10 other cities so it could be a while

@mike_oxlong Thanks for the nice words 

@TekindusT Thank you very much - that scene probably took the longest out of them all, making that massive texture was a real pain lol. Glad you liked it!

@dabadon5 Thank you for the comment and kind words! 

@_Michael Thank you! Those were certainly some of the most time consuming pics, but of course I couldn't pass them up  Glad you liked it!

@Mr Saturn64 Thanks for the comment

@Angry Mozart Thank you very much! Unfortunately that's the one downside with the camera angle - it really would be quite fascinating to see some of those areas! Anyways, I'm going to keep on trying to incorporate some more animations into my updates - they really bring the game to life

@The British Sausage Thank you for the comment!

@SC4L0ver Thank you! I actually read that saying a while back and got a laugh  Glad you enjoyed the Panthéon pic - it's one of my favorites in Paris, truly a stunning building!

Sorry, I'm a bit late for art class getting a comment in.   Using less cloudiness there's more depth of space and boldness of structure.   The HD pictures seem to show more detail than the eye sees in reality.   The snow scene makes me want to sing Christmas songs.

I visited Paris a lot of times in my life, watching this update I can feel every place one more time...I almost can hear the noise of that BIG roundabout in your last picture...

I love it my friend, congratulations for this amazing update

@RandyE Thanks for the nice comment Randy, glad you liked it! (I'd say your just fashionably late, which is more than acceptable )

@kelistmac Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked that massive roundabout!

It is delightful. How have you made it? Roads on diagonals and the Place de la Concorde?

 

@Zerx Thanks, see my reply on the London Landmarks entry, that should explain things a bit - it's just a big texture I made and I put it on a flat prop.

There was one more small question. You manually creates textures of roads in 3dsmax or you take a ready photo and just you render it?
