Excellent start and I really like the European feeling of it. I see you have made quite some custom lots for this and that alone deserves an applause  :thumbsup:  ... or thumbs up of course.

Awesome start for sure.  I can see this becoming a classic in no time.  You have so many custom lots, I can see why it took you a month and a half.

It seems I was lurking this MD, bcz I have watched this earlier today but appearantly forgot to comment!

What an excellent start of an MD, aren't those hours in LE a pain? I'm just done with 2 days with the LE..I don't want to edit a lot for many days now :D

I really like the ground texture you see in the first picture. The diagonal texture gives a nice touch to the straight maxis grid, it must have taken you a lot of work editing lots to match the texture. How did you get that texture next to the streets? That's something I always wanted, to give streets/roads my own texture. (I tried editing SMPs sandstone mod, but failed...)

To make a long story short: excellent start, I'll be back for more!

Post by: squidi on November 05, 2007, 10:38:54 AM
thank you for your replys that goes really fast and i didnt exept this  ;)

@ capo  ..the textures on the road side are made by rezising the lot after i have plazed it like u can do for under bridge textures thats pretty simpl if u have the right plan how you place the lots that all roads can be reached  ()what()

i now wnated to bring u my big park but the lot reached the max of values so i have to split it and come with it later  &mmm

..here a pic i allready posted a few days ago it shows my under highwaypark and i asked me if it is usefull to make a park
under the noise of a highway   .. whatever

These are fantastic pictures.  You have a great eye for detail and I think this is the new way to show a MD.  Using the LE that is.  This is a step in the direstion of making a MD as realistic as possible.

Hello squidi,

Most of all , what I particularly enjoy there is that you didn't copy anything ; you're coming with your young LotEditing skill and your own ideas ... :thumbsup:

Now , you've to work to add a little more life to all this . Considering that it took me about 2 years to reach this skill level with LE , I'm truly impressed by your talent . I'll be watching eagerly at anything coming from you ... :)

Go ahead !

i am really happy about your visits and thanks for your comments

@ bat: du bist mit abstand der fleißigste poster hier hab vielen dank mein nachbar

@ rooker1: you are right i want to make it realistic and i have some new plans for it to bring more realistic looking city life
   thank you for your comment

@ capo: it makes me happy that i could impress you and i can tell u i visited your work today and it impressed me too. absolutly awsom your md
   sorry that i didnt found the time for a comment and thanks for your visit

@ badsim: nice to see you here and you are absolutly right about more life thats the hardest thing in my opinion cos as LE newbie its hard to have a  good idea what props u could add to get this if you maybe dont know it or can find it but i think i could use also some more amills and randomwalks
so thanks for your visit and your suggestion

@ haljacky: thanks for your comment and i wished my highways could be as crowded as yours  :thumbsup:

@calibanx: your right it took me much time to make this and thanks for your comment



i had a lot of real life work the last days so i couldnt work on the city and spent my little  freetime to the thread but i wont leave without some pics

im allready working on this park and adding it more details this will be my work for the next days

edit: it drives me crazy after splitting the park i have again passed max lot values

edit:  Yeah i learnd how to change props on the traffic network this what about time couse it was so hard to put my TE avenues together without the maxis props appearing on my avanue lots that took me always a long time and many trys
now i removed all maxis props and floras from all aveenues for all wealth an density so its my first littl avenue mod :D
and it was really simple cos all steps are explaind in a thread on this side

Wow - I missed the start of a new MD here! Excellent. I absolute LOVE the European touch in your photo's. It's a very nice mixture of buidling that fit very nicely together in your city. The 3rd picture, with the Parisian buidlings, somehow has a very German touch.. I don't know what does that, but like it a lot! :thumbsup:

No need to apologize, there are so many good MDs around that I always miss an update or two also :)

About your update:
Picture 1: The highrise buildings work well, especially the one with blocks on the corner. A lot of variety and colour in this picture, you should enter it in the picture competition (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=804.6440).

Picture 2: I recently 'discovered' these underground parking lots as well. I know they are oldies, but the STEX is pretty big, I never saw them before. I like how you used it in this picture, the grafiti is a very nice finishing touch.

Picture 3: Aaah, very tranquile..The only thing that 'bothers' me is the pond, the colour just does not seem to fit the surroundings (wich are very nice)

Good work and a very nice update!

Hi squidis,

Very nice start to your MD - You achieve some lovely results with your own lots.  My favourites are the pedestrian bridge with the bicylces and also the under-highway park - nice idea.

I look foward to more.

I love these unusual very large sidewalks and open spaces (open but not empty ) everywhere .  :thumbsup:
You have to use all tricks possible to avoid repetitions with trees ... rotate them randomely a little more (Porkissimo's ones particularly ) and the birch trees you're using for the center of your avenues are available in 3 different sizes ... you know, that's the paradox, more it's good , more defects are visible .... ::)
The chess plaza and palacio Cristalino are very well coordinated . :thumbsup:

Have also a request , I wonder from where is coming this kind of Pizza van prop ... I guess it could be from MAPP ... ?

Great work ,squidi !

nice to hear that you like that trees and i have some new lots with them and otherones but still working on the avenues for them
i was modifying t21 exemplars to make the aves dragabl but figured out that this is not the right choise for me cos if i have changed them for another kind of avenue it often happend that on intersection the new props are appearing on the neighbour ave so i have still to try make puzzpieces but there is only one tutorial for this and its really tough for a total newbie like me so i hope i will learn it soon    ()what()

and here we have the orlach highway police (left) with a vanilla maxis building as headquater :)
(btw: i made a small model to a police station and put this building as prop over it cos i thought for a big city you need a bigger police station but i coudnt found big ones and made it by myself)

the railyard took me a lot of time cos i was trying out a lot with the textures
i think i changed every tile a bout 10 times ;D
my impression was looking some german citys with googl earth
its next to an upcomming trainstation and not an industrial railyard but i also used some warehouses for some logistic stuff like i saw that in GE. i think i will add some more shrubs for the empty places but not so much. 
i will make this setup over a long distance through the city and hope you like it

Hello squidi ,

Nice to see how ideas are flowering here ! Maybe too much sometimes ( trees ... ::) ) but that's a question of taste .  $%Grinno$%
There's a lot of details to look at  , and very "scenic" :thumbsup: , on your previous update , the way you used this kind of yard vehicle ( I don't know how to say otherwise ) to represent the cutting/maintenance of trees is a terrific little thing like I love them so much !

Hi squidi,

amazing how you filled the empty space under the elevated highway. I wish I was smart enough to make such lots myself because I hate to see the green under the elevated stuff in the middle of my downtowns.

Squidis,

This MD is a real showcase for your great LE skills. 

I've played with LE once or twice (to little effect) so I can only be impressed by what you have achieved.

I look forward to seeing more.

thanks for your visit badsim i thought the same about the trees and tryd to make less of them but generally i like to see them and they are good to make some filled spaces between the bats if i have no other good idea what props i can add  :)

danke fuer dein kommentar bat!  :thumbsup:

rickd freut mich dass es dir gefaellt  .. wegen den under elevated lots hab ich erst angefangen LE zu benutzen und mich dann entschlossen alles zu relotten

thanks for your visit paroch if you have any questions about my lots you can ask me and i will try to help if i can

i did not have nuch time the last week and used the few hours to fix some of my shadows and relotted a bit i also took some time for searching new bats so there is no update now but the next time i  will bring some pictures from my city (mayb today)

what i have here is a picture of rthe city i live in
i saw many GE pictures here and thought why not bring one too

This was one of your best updates in my opinion. 
The traffic generator is producing too many vans for sure.  Looks kinda funny, like some kind of van convention.
And I love the fact that you included a pic of your LE lots from LE itself.
I never knew your lots were so big.  Although, now that I think about it, it does make sense.  So much easier to make those parking lots in the middle of all those buildings.  Do you always make entire blocks this way?
At any rate, it still looks great and I like it.

Great updates there Squidis.

Showing the LotEditor pics is useful for peeps like me who are a bit clueless with this tool.

Your city has a good look about it and those lilac trees are becoming an Orlach signature.

I look forward to seeing more,

Hello squidi,

It's my first visit here - you started your MD in the same time I had a difficult period in my RL work. But I'm back now and I must say I like your building style very much!
Your lot editing skills are very good, and the most interesting thing for me is the way you arrange spaces along streets/avenues and between buildings. It is one of the most difficult to manage (mainly because of various textures) and most neglected aspects of many cities. And your edited lots show a lot of excellent details  :thumbsup:

My time is a bit limited yet, but I must come back to your MD and read it carefully from the beginning  :)

Cheers
Adam

Thanx for all Your wonderful pics and Your great effort which You must have put into this!
It´s my first post in this thread and I´m truly sorry I didn´t make my way in here earlier because this is probably the most astonishing and realistic creations I´ve ever seen here.
I´m struggling to get a grip on how to use the LE myself, so the pics You added last from the LE itself were great, feel free to post more of those as it helps to understand how You do these wonderful things and serve as inspiration for me and probably others too.

Vielen dank für Ihre wunderbare bilder und Ich freue mich auf mehr!
Bitte vergessen Sie nicht die LE bilder für die nechste updates...  :thumbsup:
Wohin kan ich die garage props/undergrund parkplatz props finden?

Keep it up Squidis!
Title: Re: squidis: Orlach
Post by: Yoman on December 26, 2007, 10:05:25 AM
In my opinion those back alleys are the best part of your updates, they have so much detail and are so realistic.

Take the one right behind the construction site for instance, the cement mixer is departing into it. Then in another one you've sealed off the different areas of the back alleys for each building with things like fences. This is a fantastic little detail that makes the picture all the better.

Hope you get those traffic gens fixed as Im looking forward to the next update  :thumbsup:

thanks for the replys everyone

to make my lots a bit more to look like i want them i started to create some own textures and also made me some brighter traffic textures
i also made some 5 lane avenue textures based on the nam turning lanes and now i want to make my one mod with them if i will learn how the
texture overrides work  :)

and here are some new pictures
i started to create some other lots as the ones u will see but they are not all finished

That railroad mainline, well, acctually looks like a railroad mainline, as opposed to just a simple four track layout, great job on that!

Only two suggestions are, traffic on the freeway (whose sound walls I love), and maybe some more trees in the downtown area.

Otherwise awesome!

Absolutely top class work Squidi! The railyard, the highway and the many parking zones make it very complete. But - the long left-turning avenue lane is... incredibly sexy. You deserve a reward for that:

thank you for all the nice comments and sebes; all the  nice replys are a very good reward  :)

@yoman you are absolutly right with the traffic and about the trees i thought i should make some different styles and a downtown with less trees i also wanted to make smaller sidewalks and buildings clother together but than its hard to make lots where you can see any props on the ground  :) so i think i should try to ballance it

if anyone of you have some suggestions to this problem or just an opinion i will be glad to hear it

and now no new images but some older lots in LE view

Wonderful as usual Squidi!
I like to follow Your work both here and in Your LE thread.
I also like the fact that You show screendumps from LE, that gives us readers a better idea of how You have done all these beautiful lots.
Your MD is a great inspiration for me and actually got me started in the LE which has led me to my current airport project in LE.
So thanks a bunch for Your work and for sharing it with the rest of us here!

i had a ot of RL things the last days and i also begun to take me more time for the lots. I made me for every situation a new overlay texture if i need it

Post by: squidi on February 19, 2008, 07:35:17 AM
hello everyone!
creating textures is going more and more an important part of my city. actually i have used about 70 own standard (no traffic) overlay textures in my city what i think will give it a new and unique style.
most pictures you will see are showning lots that you have seen before.
i am still working on them and that will go on for a while :)

replys:

BlondeTwiggy: i am glad you like the purple trees. it seems that they couse very different opinions, some love them and some hate them  :D
i like the different colors in my city even if i know that they look very extreme

Haljackey:thanks for your visits and replys.

thundercrack83
:in the last update you saw a lot what took me a whole day to relot it and make new textures for it although i thout i have nearly finished it and showed it here.
Now i know more how long i can just work on the same lots to find some new props for it or to do some other things with it :)
but nice to hear you like it
so thanks alot for the reply

bat:thanks for all your visits and replys bat

warconstruct:thanks alot for your comment

paroch:the zips were some textures and not the lot.
i am glad you like the LE views and i will show more of them from time to time.
thanks for the reply


now the new pictures
the area is the main skyscraper district from orlach and i tryd to make a mixture of high density and open spaces to see a bit the lotting
sometimes i realized that i lotted areas where is no possibility to see them but that are even in this areas only a few points

Awesome update my friend.  I love how you remember that there is life behind buildings as well as in front.  The way you have imcorporated the parked cars and loading docks behind the buildings, in the center of the block looks perfect. 
Right now this is one of my favourite MDs to come visit.
Great work.

thanks for your reply robin. i am glad you like the back sides of the bats. its often more fun for me to create the center of a block than the front side.
on the front i always have no idea how to make it more intressting there  :)

as you can see i playd a bit around with gimp but i am more a noob with gimp.
maybe i will try some other things with it later

i also tryd to end my use of TE  lots. in some cases i couldnt resist (the front of the rail station and the highway) :)
i made my own sidewalk mod for this and changed a bit the t21 exemplars but was not really creativ with this yet.
i will see if i can make it a bit more intressting in the future.

Very interesting mosaic.  I don't know what to say.  I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. 
I think you do very well LOTting the back side of buildings just as well as you do the front.  It's always fun to come see your updates.  Great work my friend, just great.

Take care, my friend!

Again great work!
claps and a hurray!

- edit-
Well, that's not too specific, isn't it?
I was really amazed by the detail of you railwaystation in the downtown picture. I guess you lotted the tracks yourself (north country dude's textures?) and put all the other this-and-thats into it yourself? Very nice, makes me jealous. Makes me think of taking a day off from office to lot something like this myself....
Also the glass bus station in front of the railway station is great. Very realistic square there!

thanks for your nice comments everyone.
@Simpson: you may think it was a small update but it has the sice of about 15 1024x768 pictures. but the size isnt that important if you like it  :)
@frankU: your right with the textures but some of them are also made by myself. for example the fading from the platforms to the grasy textures.

while i am working on some new stuff i only have made this little picture

Phenomenal mosaïcs shown here my friend!

The Orlach waterfront turned out to be a true jewel both by day and by night, and the down town area is so nice, I can scroll the picture for hours (as it does not fit on my screen :( and enjoy all details that you managed to get in there. Excellent  :satisfied:

Fantastic pictures squidi!
Your work has three aspects which I like very much:
- Great couple of buildings
- Very good use of trees (fantastic parks!). Your trees compositions are very special and they are a kind of your trademark  :thumbsup:
- Care about details at sidewalks, plazas, backyards and other open areas. all these small props look fantastic and make your streets and plazas natural and alive. Also, great work with LE!  &apls
You have very specific vision, not everybody can like it, but it is yours, unique and it is very valuable.

I like also the perfect quality of your pictures - excellent editing, even if you use effects/filters, changes are subtle and nothing is overdone.

You never use the same building twice, do you?  Orlach has to rank among the top MD's for the most variety.  I have caught up to page 13.  Good job, squidi.

EDIT:  Well, I looked it over a second time, and did see some buildings used twice.  I'm certainly not saying that's a negative thing, though.  This practice can also be very realistic.

preview of what i am working on

i wanted the pedmall to go streight over the avenue and after some hours working on the lots i started the game and realized that i made somthing wrong with them.

i decided to make a small diagonale on the overpass instead of making
completly new lots
..and i think the result looks really intressting

Fantastic picture, looks like alot of work butit all turn out very, very intersting.  I like the diagonal ped walk way and think that it wouldn't be as interesting if you had have done it straight.

Paul, this is just some fantastic work! That plaza is so detailed and lively, I know it must've taken several hours in the Lot Editor. One question for you; what is that interesting-looking arch structure at the top center of that pic? I'd like to use it myself. Looking forward to your next update, my friend!

Post by: squidi on September 28, 2008, 02:15:42 PM
thanks for the replys

a few words about the highway from the last update:
first i have made it as TE lot but than i remembered another way
-lot resizing-
if you have resized an existing lot and put some props on the new space of the lot thay wont be shown at first
but you can change the video option of the game
-restart the game
-change video options back
-again restart the game and the props are shown

maybe you will see the difference in the pictures of last update

thats a bit much to do but however XD

after a few weeks with a super slow dial up connection i am back home in the civilisation with fast internet  ;)
and the update will not shown something new  ..its just a 9mb mosaic

Title: Re: Orlach
Post by: dsrwhat316 on September 28, 2008, 05:03:41 PM
WOW that's one helluva mosaic! Such fine details; I could stare at it for hours!

I use lot resizing a lot myself, and I didn't think it was possible to save props on the resized lot. I thought you just used or made overhanging props to make that illusion. I'll have to try your technique myself because that's something I've been trying to solve for nearly a year. Thanks, Paul; one of the many reasons why I love stopping by here!

I don't only agree with that ... I'm one of those knowing perfectly the price to reach that level . So , respect .... :thumbsup:
And thanks to you , Paul , I've learned something today that opens me new horizons ; how to make appear automatically new props in game on a reworked Lot ...I would have never believed it was possible !  $%Grinno$%
Your technique works like a charm with resized Lot and I'm going to show that possibility in my own MD .
Thanks a million ... if I had my way , you would have a karma point more .Well , if a member of the staff is reading this ...

Keep on this superb work coming !  &apls &apls &apls

the last days i was a bit busy with some reallife things
that doesnt mean that i havent to show something new to you.
the mosaics mostly show you lots  you have already seen and some new ones.
i created a set of new textures for the new lots iam actually workin on but they still need some time  :)

i hosted the pictures on another image hoster i never used befor because they were to big for imageshack
and i wont use to much space on the host where i have put the last 2 very big mosaics, otherwise the owner could be angry with me  :D
so i hope everything will work fine.

This is the most amazing use of lot-editing in a CJ i have seen, the Elevated Freeway is, well, spectacular. You deserve OSITM more than any CJ i can think of.
Good Job!

big thanks for that great honor
also for the congratulations and of cause for all your nice comments made here.

i wish i would be able to show some pictures now but i am sorry to say that i actually cant.
as some of you noticed i tried my hands on batting. first i only wanted to make some more or less simpl props for the lots i was working on,
now it has become a bit more complex as i started to make some east asian styled W2W buildings fitting to the area i was working on.
i aslo made already a big coupl of new ground textures but the lots i made them for are net ready yet.

to tell you why i actually cant show any pictures: i got lots of trouble with my computer the last time.
first my monitor has become defect. with some help by a nice person i got a new one now. then one of my hd s got damaged the one with my plugins -but i made a backup before :) .now i bought a new cpu last fryday to get faster render results but the new cpu needs to much power and my power supply reached its limit. i can now only use one hd and no cd drive. and the backup of my plugins is on another hd without windows.
because it was my last money i put in the cpu, i cant get a new power suplly for a while. /wrrd%&


now you know that it still will need some time to see a new update here but i hope this will deserve the needed time.
the only thing i can show you now is what iam working on although its not really fitting in here

as it will take at least one or two weeks to get a new update and this not really is one, orlach would need to move to inactive section for some time
what doesnt mean that iam asking for ;)
this decision is dustin ones.

i will finish with again thanking you for all the visits and kind words.
untill next

Congratulations, Paul!   &apls  I know I've missed a number of your updates, but if they're anywhere near as good as those that I remember then I'm in for a treat when I go back and catch up.  I hope you're able to get things sorted out with your computer, and I'll be waiting patiently until you do.  See you then...
