Kwakelaar's courtyard

This will be my showcase here at SimCity4 Devotion.

I am working on some older European buildings for medium wealth CS. The idea was to make something that would look romanesque in style but these turned out to be of a later date and style.
Still some work to be done on these, and I am planning to make 4 more buildings to the set.

~~Looks great, from what I can see! Care to post some bigger pics?~~
EDIT: pics fixed. Looks great!

kwakelaar · February 08, 2007, 04:16:25 AM

Ah, yes sorry about the small pictures, something happend when I put them through photoshop and onto imageshack.
When I started out I could actually see what was in the pictures.

Glenni, no these are not wooden houses. Og takk for komplimentet

Cali and Jeronij thanks for your comments and if I need some help I will let you know.

Glenni · February 08, 2007, 04:23:20 AM

Haha, ok because from that small pic they sorta looked like those old wooden houses at Bryggen in Bergen, guess i was wrong,lol

Schulmanator · February 09, 2007, 04:17:35 PM

Nice! I could use something like that in Schulmania!

sebes · February 11, 2007, 02:38:13 PM

Man, that is some amazing quality again...

top werk!!

Great job!!

I love these, especially the way the roofs go "against the grain"...gives them character and adds depth to the game. The only thing that I would change is the texture nightlighting in favour of actual lighting, but that's my personal preference...I spend far too long nightlighting my BATs

BarbyW · February 11, 2007, 04:36:35 PM

These are super, kwakelaar. Look forward to seeing them in game

Serkanner · February 11, 2007, 04:40:03 PM

I agree with the previous posters ... great work Kwakelaar ...

Cali · February 11, 2007, 04:44:16 PM

looks really good.

Gaston · February 11, 2007, 07:44:37 PM

Very nice stuff Kwakelaar. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the buildings in the set.

People, I am quite amazed by all your responses, I am not used to getting this much attention

Glenni, Bryggen is not such a strange association, I have been thinking if I should try some of the buildings there.
Bat and Metasmurf thanks, and the pictures have been updated.
Cabrabuitre, very nice to see you here too.
Schulmanator and Fledder200 thanks for your comments
Sebes you are too kind and I am glad you have found your way to SC4D

Callagrafx, I prefer to use the nightwindows for most of my buildings when there is not much to see on the inside. The shopwindows on the groundfloor are however transparent and you should be able to see the different goods for sale. I don't care much for the nightlights and if it was just for me all my bats would be dark at night. I never use nightview in the game thus I will try to keep it as simple as possible. Though some of the most spectacular images of buildings (those from other batters that is) comes from the nightview, so I can understand that you spend a lot of time on making them.
Indeed there are not many of these kind of w2w buildings in the game yet.

Barby, Serkanner and Cali thanks for commenting
Gaston, thanks for stopping by and I am working on a corner building now.
