Whooooooooa. That looks freakin awesome!!Let me know if you need some props or models, i can help ya if you want.!

[Sober]

wow
those pictures are GREAT! really.

Well, some of us like a peaceful landscape ... to pave over

[Pat]

LoL Sober soo not right lol

[Andreas]

Andreas, it's a shame, but I don't know...
I have it from a very long time, I think it comes with one of old prop packs. An icon description is made in the same manner as SFBT Props/ Arkenberge Joe Baeume, but I checked this file and there isn't a swamp tree there.

LOL, but now I know. That's SimGoober's swamp tree that I converted into a mayor mode tree myself. It just looked so unusual on your pic that I didn't recognize it. Gosh, I need to play SC4 more often...

[Ennedi]

LOL, but now I know.

It is strange, but I supposed it 
It was a little voice in my head when I started to check Arkenberge Joe props

But the most important thing is you know what you needed to

Edit: And if you will play SC4 more often, you will have less time to make your fantastic creations  It is impossible to make everything in the same time

It is impossible to make everything in the same time

Not true, Ennedi. You just need a second display and a Quad Core processor...

Cheers,
Kevin

P.S.-Sorry for going off topic. Now back to the regularly scheduled amazing rural creations of ChrisAdams3997.

[Pat]

LoL @ Kevin

I know such people - and this is the reason I imagined some people who like cities but don't want to pave everything over, so I decided to make a place for them and started to build Shosaloza 

Not true, Ennedi. You just need a second display and a Quad Core processor...
Cheers,
Kevin

Of course Kevin, but this way you can fill more tabs in the spreadsheet or records in the database 
If you want to make something more, you must wait for good ideas - and they come randomly and mostly in the free time
And tis is the reason that even 128 - Core processor will not replace any of us in making SC4 cities (or maybe it will do it in some cases?  )

Don't be angry Pat, these are all jokes

[Chrisadams3997]

Glad to see you guys are keeping it lively in here in my absence .

...breathing hard...

...think I'm gonna pass out...

Seeing this for the first time.  Man- I'm not getting out enough.

This is amazing stuff.

Those swamp trees look nice...got a Q for you though...which terrain texture would you say ur mod will look best with? Im using the columbus one but since I plan to use a lot of ur flora in many of my cities and the fences for my farms I was curious which one looks best. So far it seem the Italia one is best suited for this.

[Chrisadams3997]

yep, but the swamp trees aren't mine.  As for terrain mods, it'll work well with any of them, the whole idea is to allow the terrain to be expressed instead of covered like in a traditional SC rural area.  That said, all of the released terrain mods I've seen are more 'expressive' than the standard Maxis, and thus it's more rewarding, but which one just depends on your region.  I use the columbus mod and it looks great on it.

[Ennedi]

I want to make a comparation between various terrain mods in the near future ( in my MD Shosaloza). Various mods will be showed on the same terrain. When Chris will release his work, I will use it and we will see - I am curious of it too 

Edit: As for terrain mods - there are many factors wchich have an influence on the general look. One of them is the perspective - the next fascinating theme

[Rayden]

Any further development on this? It's looking great do far, and I could make good use of it alresdy

Chris is out of town at the moment:

Here's my last pics for yall before I head out of town, so you'll have to enjoy these for a while.  Some ingame comparisons

I won't be back on till Sunday evening at earliest, but I'll try to check in then.

[Rayden]

Thanks RJ, I haven't seen that thread

[girlfromverona]

I am in absolute awe of your talent, Chris! I just started building a farming community in my city tonight - these new additions are going to make it more realistic than I could ever have hoped.

Ennedi - your pictures are beautiful!

[Ennedi]

Ennedi - your pictures are beautiful!

Thank you very much - it's a result of using good stuff

[capo]

Oh man, do these look great. I've been watching over the several pages of work and comments posted and I must say that Im starting to feel like an 8-year old three days before Christmas. I cant wait to have these goodies in my menu, if there's a Chrisadams fanclub you can sign me up

[Chrisadams3997]

I appreciate everyone looking in on me here .  I've been here and there, and a few places in between, and while I've been here, I've been working on the football field project, which keeps getting added to.  I've got a bad tendancy to do that .

Here's a quick teaser of something I started playing with tonight.


edit:  added one more


This was really just testing out new textures and techniques, and once I get organized I'll have a lot more pictures to show where I'm going with this.
