Entry 71 -- Progress Update on Cindersville
Entry 71 -- Progress Update on Cindersville
So I've made a huge push on the north-eastern corner of Cindersville. I can say it is definitely halfway done as I move around the mountain which dominates this area, eventually I will tackle the very top of the mountain itself. Finally, if you're wondering why the teaser picture is taking longer to load up that is because it is a PNG image. I deliberately used PNG to preserve the image quality as the JPEG version caused the flowers to blur.
Anyway, here are further pictures from the new areas I've been working on.
Have a good weekend!

1.
I'm working on the areas around this mountain.
2.
I had to extend some areas to flesh out the villages and some outer parts of Cindersville.
3.
4.
The first thing I start with is laying down the trails and paths.
5.
Then I work on the MMPs within the area defined by each set of paths.
6.
One of the major northern routes leading into Cindersville required a lot of work.
7.
MMP street...
8.
The dark green plants are MMP ferns I use from the VIP Rural Pack. They are slow to place down and this adds time to the whole process.
9.
I also had to extend out the meadows as well. While that dry river bed is actually not a dried-up river/stream, instead it is the aftermath of a flash flood which caused severe top soil erosion and a mini landslide.
10.
Another PNG picture to showcase the brillance of Girafe's roses.
11.
And here is Mattb325's Ben Rose House. And this is why I go crazy on the MMPs because in the end they start to blend with the trees, plants and textures of actual lots.
12.
The transition between deciduous and coniferous forest.
13.
There are four MMP types: flora, water, rocks and props (sims, cars and the little things like that). I reckon the hardest MMP is rockwork.
14.
This picture is pure MMPs!
15.
I actually added MMPs, forests and brackon to the bottom half of the mountain as before all this it was simply a sheer rock face which didn't look right.
16.
I've had this winding road for almost two years. Only now is the area around it complete!
{---}
Right, that's it for today. I'll be back in late September as by then Cindersville will be complete and one outstanding project can be crossed off!
Enjoy the weekend!
