Ardecila: Thank you much for the comments and info! So that was it's name! Plymouth arco and how fitting it is, for my storyline also! I asked that very question here once and then a second time in the BAT forums, but got no response at all. I just figured you can't import them. I know nothing about converting files, or what utility I might need to do so. I have 100's of premade architectural mods for Bryce and all originals. I make all my models from scratch. My wish is to; design a complete line of sci-fi architecture, to replace my entire game originals, as much as is possible. even hydro powered autos maybe? this allows for a wide creative base and throws out most strict guidelines. Jacqulina: thank you also, big bunches and big hugs to you!

Simzebu: Thank you so much! I must give that a go. Visit our crash landing at, Terracai City of planet Nucladius. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=65779 https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//TerraceiCityJ1dgg.jpg align=baseline>

I'll check my cable listing; if there is something on that intersts me. Usually programs dealing with, simgames in the works or RPG's.

chapter 3 Some Time To Explore and... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Enuma%20South%20Peninsula4g.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Enuma%20South%20Peninsula9g.jpg align=baseline> ...Time was passing all to fast and although, growing city of Terracai searches; they still have not found the Arcocity2. Vresii and his explorators, still needed to comb the southern peninsula and the other side of the vast, fresh water, lake Brensa, that Rootiis(rooteez) Brensa, discovered last year. Scaling the huge cliffs, that harbored the small city, was not an easy task either. Thank the gods for the, new and invaluable, flyzii pod factory in TC. Thank the gods MORE, for Rootiis, as well, who had also proved invaluable to Vresii, over the past 4 years. Rootiis was also a very, adept sniffer, for good topsoil and rich quality stone. Minors are considered, almost heroic on Nucladius. Which made Rootiis quite popular with the rest of the crew as well. After all he derserved it having found most of the cities, best dirt and saved many, from starvation and death. Topsoil is one of the a most valuable minerals on Nucladius. Most of this lone continent is made from rock and scrub grass, but the good dirt is their and this is preciously mined from every developing piece of land. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Terraceitydf25.jpg align=baseline> City blocks soon looked like stone squares, of varietal colors. In Terracai cities harbor districts mostly. the mined cliff Rock, was ground and made into Kolcrete. Kolcrete, is then prepared for pouring forms, built out into the ocean floor, leveled and let to dry. Colored dyes and designs began to fill the completed city blocks. Vresii and Rootiis, have big hopes of finding, the motherload of topsoil, on the other side of that, vast lake. Great Nacla farms were also springing up among TC's plateaus and steps. Today was the big day, they would surely find the truth. There must be leveler land! they remember seeing places,...patches more hilly and less cliffed and the dirt MUST be there,...on the other side of, great Lake Brensa! The lake was passing underneath the flyzii pod, at a rapid pace. The waves flashed in Nucladius' giant suns rays. Then it was there; the green hint of finest grasses and that meant dirt and pay-off time! The crews exitement, filled the pod with shouts of victory! ....Then something much darker appeared, as the green hills came into focus; Something black and large,... THe Dark Arcocity2!!! they had found them?! the crews ealier exitement, turned quickly to something else, something a bit less festive. Something was made aware to them ALL, when they saw the Dark arcocraft, among the green hills. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Gonrabasies.jpg align=baseline> To be continued..... I took a little liscense with the old Industry Arco from SC2000 or maybe I should say, I attempted to make it correct from memory, but added some glass domes on top. The model was built and rendered in Bryce5.5. and imported to SC4 shot. THe comments and ideas are great and much appreciated! Thank you all so much! I will try and visit all your CJ's, if you have them. Peace out all. Sergeoj2: Friend of Him the one true God and I mis-spelled it a bit on purpose; as His holy name should not be taken too lightly, eh.

Believe it or not: I still have the game and skurk. I am still tempted sometimes to have a go at the skurk. Alas WinXP does not like SC2000 and it won't install correctly. pooh!

OH! now this is just too good to be! My CJ is junk, compared to yours and the use of SC4's animation captures, is genius! Great use of filters and images also. I will have to give this CJ my highest award. So here's to you and your city, Mikeaut1: Adonai Graphics, in association with frndofyaweh, presents you with the, Sticky Street Award! 98% graded by Adonai Graphics LTD. frndofyaweh/mike Visit our crash site at Terracai City of Planet Nucladius https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=65779

Great CJ, TMSim! Reading and viewing all these journals is a days work and joy as well. Which means Most of us have to stick with the best and you just grabbed me by the eyeballs,TMSim! Use of PS layers and filters is quite good here. Display and presentation exceptional, especially the transparancies! Please give us more?! 92% graded by Adonai Graphics LTD. Yes, I have a real job too. Frndofyaweh/mike Visit our crash site at Terracai City of planet Nucladia https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=65779

Well, I should have posted here and not NY. Still feeling my way around Simtropolis, I guess. Also feeling my way all through your new CJ and it is way, way more excellent! Very good and attention grabbing beginning! You have opened my mind to, a new and better looking, SC4 shoreline! Great colors and placement of foilage. I really enjoyed viewing your shots! Don't leave us hanging too long?! Add a bit more story and tease your audience with just a few images and I assure you; more will come knocking at your CJ. 89% by Adonai Graphics LTD. Peace out, Gurrgkud. frndofyaweh/mike Visit our crash site at Terracai City of Planet Nucladia https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=65779

After a long look, I too was saddened. I still must say; Exceptional photography with Nuked York(word play is great!). Glad to see you will continue on. The storyline is unique enough, so run with that. If you really want to grab an audience; attempt to bring them back each time, with a cliffhanger ending, with each chapter posted. Anything will do and it doesn't have to be real complex plot line. Your great imagination is obvious, in your CJ. Arrangement of scenery is, very eye pleasing! Please keep updating?! I'll subscribe to your profile, that way I'll know right when, I should check back into your CJ. Peace out, Gurrgkud. _____ Frndofyaweh/Mike Visit our crash site at, Terracai City of Planet Nucladia https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=65779

Thank you for sticking faithfully, Greywolf115 and Kwakelaar! If you two have a CJ, I will gladly return the favor? But remember; expect honesty, tempered with a bit of kindness. Our goal should be to improve and learn as we go. So, feel free to point out any thoughts, disappointments or suggestions. I will take all into consideration. we do similar trade-offs, at many CGI artists communities. over 260,000 members strong at Renderosity.com. (I am also frndofyaweh there) Peace out, my friends. frndofyaweh/mike

After reading all of these posts on Architecture; I thought I might point out, that graphic arts can be quite similar(my field of study). AutoCad, Gmax, Poser6 or Bryce5, all are similar in a lot of ways. Geometry and algebra can help also. I also took 2 years of drafting classes and graduated from carpentry, at trade school. Still love my art the most and have dabbled in/used many artists mediums.

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//bryceterra2w.JPG align=baseline> Planet Nucladius, Terracai City The story begins.... Admiral mikisii Britezi forms a plan: The asteroid had ripped their engines to shredds! Why had they risked it? the feild was much to vast, but they had to get closer. With their main drive severely damaged and only one avialable destination; Arcocity1 had to take the chance. A crash landing, on a planet with only, one large continent! Water rushed passed the hulking ships hull, like the deafening roar, of the putred Ghronodiis'. Skimming the surface slowed the great ship right on the shorline! After seven decades and 3 years, the Nucladians had finally finished their long journey, in search of a new world. Mikisii had not yet been born then and lucky he was, to even be born. On a floating city of limited room and sustainment of life. Very few children were even permitted to be, birthed at all! The planet they had spotted, in this remote, un-charted galaxy, was harsh indeed; nothing but water and very little forgiving land. The Admiral knew this equatorial region, they had ditched themselves into, was a lucky break and could have been disasterous, with so little available or level landing sites. Admr. Mikisii and his advisors began to formulate a plan. The Nucladians were very adept tunnelers back on mother Nacla. Nacla was a beautiful planet before It's sun began to die. Although Nacla was very mountainous, there was plenty of prime land around and caves networked the whole planet. The precious ore veined thick through out her belly. Thus, over the centuries of time, the Nucladains became quite advanced at mining. Boring through the hardest of rock, was like slicing a cake to these folk. The plan was discussed and democratically voted on. The selected plan was to; terraform and terrace-form at the same time! This small civilization of 100,000 folk, would step the mountainous and rugged terrain of their new planet! So, they named their new home, Nucladius after themselves. Even in times of turmoil; Nucladians are known to be a proud race. chptr 2. The Others The citzens came up with 100's of names. All great suggestions for a proud, Nucladian city. Terracai City was the name that won out. It made great sense to name it so; as terraced farming would be one, but not the only, source of industry. So they began to carve at the hard stone island. As they did, they also carved a path, to their new future. The hearty community began to thrive and as they leveled and terraced, pooring ever more rubble into the vast ocean; the years past by and by..... But what of the other Arco? it had also carried 100,000 Nucladians. Admiral Alisiis' Shipcity2, had been lost among the asteroids, back when their peril all started, Admr Mikisii had more important matters to deal with, at the time. After the narrow escape from the asteroids; finding this planet mattered most, but communication with Arcocity2 was never established again. Were they lost? destroyed and obliterated by the torrential onslaught, of endless rocks? The citizens of Nucladius and Terracai City, could only wonder at the fate of the other ship. Had it made it unscathed? Maybe they even found a beautiful new planet? One resembling mother Nacla!?....hope.... Below we see, one of the many, giant Rock Rovers, that had been housed in the Arcocity1. move the dirt out, level, crush the granite like rock and please, do not forget the, supra-fast maturing, fungus grass, imported from mother Nacla! Living on such a, water blogged planet meant, channeling the water and run-off, from the steep mountain ranges, away from development and out to the sea. A series of canals were prepared in advance. The Nucladians have much reason to be proud of their terraforming abilities, yes indeed. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//GristedPortc2.jpg align=baseline> To be continued..... Many gracious thankyous to all! I am more motivated than ever now! I feel I should say: I re-wrote the beginning a bit, so reposted it. I use so many modds and lots, etc... that I cannot remember them all, But I truely dig the canal system shown above, made by PEG/pegusus. (hint:I need a working rock quarry? Granite, marble maybe?) I must apologize for being a doubting thomas. Ialways say the wrong things. No worries, I take all in stride and love input, feedback, crits even? I will do my utmost, bestest, best to keep updating. Peace out all. Frndofyaweh/Mike

Apparently you and me are it. hahaa! Many, Many thanks to you Kwakelaar, for making a landing in my CJ! I think, I am either hated here or just a bore. Not sure witch. If only simtropolis knew, the work that went into importing, that spaceship to SC4, from Bryce; maybe at least, I would get a bit of feedback? Oh well, These images are getting raves at my artists community site! So it wasn't a loss, but rather fun and challenging. If no one else responds; this storyline is continued at http://www.renderosity.com where I donate all my free time and every penny, I can manage to, scrape up. Peace out, friend. Mike E.

WOW! 30 pages and man; long time to view,but VERY worth the view and read! so thanks for the enjoyable Journal, Steve!

Heaven Sentral Welcome to A City that was Heaven sent! Mayor: Mike Funkid at your service. Cheats in play are: God mode, The BAT bank, You don't deserve it=allgifts Mods by a few: Pegusus, Simgoober, Gascooker and the NAM Heaven Sentral was founded in 1809, as a vision of Mayor and founder Mike E. Funkid. His idea was to design a City grid that allowed for, future planning and technologies to be set up easily, while keeping nature and the enviroment primarily intact. IN two centuries the city has grown to apopulation of 236,000 residents and is an extremely popular place to live and still growing! Being a genetic scientist and famous billinaire; Mayor Funkid has managed to extend his own natural lifespan to 230 or so years(he lost count)and lives here in HeavenSentral in present day! He is still the acting mayor and more popular than his city itself. Here is a shot of the surrounding region of Enumernation. As you may see, it is still a lonely spot for HS. Mike was also intersted in keeping development in the farming industries and taking advantage of future technologies as they developed. here is a shot of the Eastlake Farms district back in 2003, before Hydroponics were popular(Mayor Funkid had better get cracking here!) https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//EastlakeFrms2.jpg align=baseline> And here is an image of Bonnies Wharf(below). Very popular fishing and dining spot. Circa 2003. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//BonnieWharf12.jpg align=baseline> Okay, for our final image in this chapter, we have a nice view of Spider Rock(below). Our cities finest natural wonder. Spider Rk. is the product of a long since, in-active volcano and a part of the Arachnia Mt. range. Circa 1932 This concludes chapter one of Heaven Sentral: Our Heritage and Founding. Authors: The citizens Published by Adonai publishing and distributions 1964. copyright2005. I will post more once this page is filled with responses. This will keep my journal images to a minimum of 4 per every 30 posts. Mayor Funkid had better be popular, or we may never see chptr 2. LOL!

Thank you Sirgeoj2! Admittedly, I should have used something more exotic, I think. Although I saved this region; I currently am working on a new CJ, with a very unique storyline,....I hope.

All of my cities. I am never satisfied and my grids are boring.

Thank you all for commenting! I am surprised! I expected My cheesy CJ to get squat in responses. Comments, praises or critz welcome. Thanks again to; Jacqulina, Jerebannus XVI: Yeah, I agree about the bldng, Traffic Jam, Red Hawk, Simcitymichi, Kmoh4346 and Miss Tonya: Just some carefullly planted trees is all.

So sorry everyone. The NAM is working fine now! WARNING: Build avenues and zones as your city requires them. If you do as I did and grid out an entire large city map; too many lots are attempting to develop at once. After my city matured a bit and lots staged out, the NAM increased its speed significantly!
