Downtown

By newyorkrunaway1,

Sorry it has been so long since the last update. I will have one soon. It has been quite the hectic time here where i live in Nashville. We lost our house and one of our cars. We lost almost everything in the house and are displaced for a short few months while we try and build back again. Here are some pics to show you whats going on... These are after the waters started going back down and they let some people back in my neighborhood.... I waded about half a mile down the street in chest deep water. the...

Yeah! Now time for some city shots. These are the beginning stages of the major developments, that the city will be shaped around. The first two shots are regional shots. They are small here, but if you click on them, it will take you to the large view. Be warned, these are very large images! This following picture gives you an idea of where the following developments are placed in the region. These are the pictures if these developments. These are prelimenary layouts, they will be grown upon Hospital...

Parkland skyline is dominated by residential towers, and that includes its tallest.... Dont worry, it is still realistic... check out austin to see where i got inspiration for my skyline... This is the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Residence Tower in Parkland Stats : Height : 801 ft Floors : 50 Hotel Floors : 18 Amenities Floors : 2 Residential Floors : 30

I decided to deviate from the original road layout somewhat, and the core has been moved further north to the forks in the river. This allowed for more growth and customizability options. The pic below is the area located across the river from the core downtown itself. This is a huge picture, weighing in at 7mb and has a resolution of 5464x6253. People were asking for larger pics, so here they are! :-) It also gives in game ratio to the city itself. Click on the thumbnail to load the larger image.

I needed to add on a ton of room for parkland without haveing to restart the region from scratch or other ways i rendered 3 other seperate regions for the space i needed. the only thing i have to do now is photoshop the 4 regions together at the end before i post the full region. this will take some work and new challenges for me matching up the regions.... lots of counting.... but i think it will work out great click on image for larger view.. it is very very large, 33M, be warned!

I'm not sure what happened to my most recent uploads for Parkland where I showcased downtown, they have disappeared off of my server somehow... annoying... I will try and get some more downtown pics back up soon, but until then, here is a picture of downtown Parkland in 1080p
