Prophet42: :yes:

UrbanConstanta: Did you manage to download those fields?

TekindusT: Worth the price of admission!

Entry 14: More Rural Development

So this month has been a busy one, but in the last two days I have been working some more on Pololomia and finishing off areas to the north. I reckon finishing every area could take anywhere between a month and six weeks given all the MMPs I am using, but it is slowly coming together.

 

1.

Gridbusting on a MASSIVE scale.

 

2.

I'm experimenting with mixed field/woodland areas.

 

3.

Rural areas in England often have many fields with patches of woodland throw in the middle.

 

4.

While Diggis river extension pieces form great boundaries for the fields.

 

5.

And the river banks are SO MMP-able.

 

6.

Another feature of English farmland is the line of trees bordering fields.

 

7.

The other thing I am developing is a better blending of tracks with the dirt perimeter of fields.

 

8.

And a new MMP farm combo (using Chrisadams3997's RRP MMPs): wild white flowers combined with clover textures. Throw in ionionion's OMCo brown dirt and we have a rich, organic field!

And a close-up of that field.

 

10.

Rivers make for the most interesting boundaries... Sometimes the fields will be bordering the river banks and other times there is a clear separation between river banks and fields.

 

11.

By using the wide version of Heblem's gravel MMPs, and placing it in the centre between two lines of gravel MMPs, it gives the tracks a rough boundary- which helps them better blend into the landscape.

 

12.

While the field edges look dirty and as messy as possible, which is just the look I'm going for with plowed fields.

 

13.

Another overview of the area I'm working on.

 

14.

15.

Simmer2's stone paths MMPs are SO good! Plus this is another exercise in varying MMP densities: high to the left, medium by the river and low to the right.

 

16.

Blending the street, river, diagonal fillers and MMPs all together in one cohesive package.

 

17.

Fields must be YUGE!

 

18.

And with that I will end this entry.

Next entry- next week? Two weeks from now?

See you then.

Really nice landscape work!!

PS I have a new project on the works regarding the "dry wall" or "muro secco" I made as MMP.  Far more realistic....
