Hey, everyone! This is my 1st MD on SC4D, and I'm glad you are checking it out now. I will only have partial updates sporadically, since this region is already being showcased over on Simtropolis, just click here (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=92793&enterthread=y) to check it out! I'll keep everyone filled in on new happenings, so without further ado, let's start the show!
The Capital City of Bevelle
This'll be the 1st city on our tour of Bevelle. Here we go!

Dan you have done a great job at blending so far and i cant wait to see the next update - pat
Great start!!
Glad to see you over here too. You do some great work! &apls
Wow! Great start here, my friend! Bevelle looks fantastic (And I love the name, too. I'm a Final Fantasy fan, myself)! I love how you have the GLR going under the road, too. How exactly did you accomplish that?
Anyway, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work!
The GLR going under the road was, I assume, done using NAM puzzlepieces. He created a slope (for the GLR to go under) and crossed it with a road-over-GLR puzzlepiece. No?
Wonderful first update at sc4d there! Also fantastic pictures of that city! :thumbsup:

Another great update, my friend! Bevelle does look quite stunning! And thanks for the heads-up about the GLR underpass you made, too. Though I do have one more question about it: What are those gray sidewalk pieces you have on the slopes next to it? I don't recall ever having seen them before.
Wonderful update 01! That pictures are looking beautiful, dsrwhat316! :thumbsup:
Oh, what a great start of your MD. The pictures are showing some great planning, the tram tunnel is just awesome - very inventive! And the scenic "route" looks very nice... I bet you have spent some hours on that...

Beautiful city! I noticed you had an MD and since you were so helpful I thought I'd check it out. Always good to see a player with a very different style than your own, you can find ideas to steal borrow. :thumbsup:

Since rail is the most important form of travel (after the car) in Bevelle, most people enter the city from Aurora's Rail Station.

truly stunning update.... great to see all the mosaics and teasers in one place... great LE work as always...
Aurora looks stunning, my friend! All the buildings, and the sunken highways are railroads--excellent work! I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing more!
Take care!

Very beautiful my friend but your lake is too little....
And maybe with euro texture modd it's can be really better :D &apls
Some wonderful new mosaics and pictures there! Like the first one!
Great work on your wonderful city!
Looking forward to more of The Republic of Bevelle! ;)
Superb update with many beautiful shots. &apls
Nice to see pics from your tutorials in there too :thumbsup:
And as you say the pause was still on so seeing this city teaming with
life in future updates will just add the finishing touch.
nicely done for now though

Simpson: Thanks for the compliment! I have toyed around with the idea of using the euro texture mod, but some of the transportation BATs have textures that I can't change (such as the marrast underpass) so I kept the regular textures. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Super update Dan. I don't recognise the building with the road through it. Where did you get it? The curved rail looks very good, especially with BuddyBud's walls.

Beautiful work, Dan! Absolutely beautiful! Your transportation networks continue to impress me, as does everything else here! Keep up the good work, my friend, and I'll keep coming back for more!

Hello Dan, your MD is really very interesting!
I especially like your attention to details and your work with parks, sidewalks and other textures. The sandstone texture at long road curves looks perfect, how is it done?
I think you could look at Simcity Plaza and look for SFBT Diagonal Fillers. Using them you can create very nice diagonal sidewalks and alleys, I think this set would be a good addition to your collection.
I like also retaining walls along the sunken highway, and a very interesting use of yellow road noise barriers near one of your skyscrapers - very nice idea! :thumbsup:
I must look at some of your solutions more carefully, it seems I will learn a few things from you :)
Adam
Dan wonderful updates here and looking real sweeeeet!!!!

rooker1: That building is the Helmsley Building (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14665) by vanderveenre. Glad you like the sweeping curves; I use them a lot in this city!
thundercrack83: I like to make everything anti-grid, so the road networks are always full of diagonals and, in this case, curves. Thanks for commenting!
TheTeaCat: Thanks very much, my friend!
Ennedi: Hey, there! I was greatly inspired by the works of Badsim's AntigOne; sooo many custom lots and all were so ornately detailed. I have a tutorial for making textures underneath the curves; just click the link in my sig. I actually do have those diagonal fillers, but haven't gotten around to using them yet. But I will in the future! Keep watching; maybe you'll learn a bit more today :P!

bat: Glad you liked it and thanks for being one of my biggest supporters!
panthersimcity4: It is also one of the slowest cities I have ever built in terms of the time frame. I've been working on this one city for over two months, and it is only a third finished!
sebes: I use a lot of fillers; some downloaded, some created in the Lot Editor. I appreciate your kind comment!
Pat: Hey, don't fill up on the leftover eyecandy; I whipped up a fresh batch for everyone!

One of the densest parts of Aurora is the area surrounding Ensign Arena.

An excellent update and the last mosaic is truly breathtaking.
It just shows the care and attention to detail that you have put in.
I for one am glad you got OSITM as I may have missed this otherwise
and that would have been a SHAME.
Till I get the chance to visit again you'd better have this

Hey, only just caught up with your MD and I LIKE IT :thumbsup:
Gotta love the Britishness of the pic with St Paul's plus GasCooker terraces ;) :D
And great work on all the others. The sunken rail with the raised road above it particularly caught my eye.
Just like Arnie........I'll be back!

Another wonderful update there, Dan! And like Aurora! Also the long mosaic is looking really fantastic! :thumbsup:

TheTeaCat: Ever since I've been in OSITM, more readers have checked out my MD. Since this is the last day of April, this is my final day here. Remember to visit wherever I go!
paroch: The cathedral area is meant to look old and classical, so I used those terraces to capture that feel. Sunken networks are a must in cities (well, at least American cities :P) to dampen the noise made by passing traffic. Thanks for visiting!

Dan you have a great run in OSITM!!! Pretty soon here you will be a best seller and you have had many wonderful updates here!!!!! Cant wait to see what you got planned for us now....
Oh Dan - your city is so awesome... One of these days you will move to the bestseller section, and justice will be done to this MD!

So I simply say this : &dance &dance &dance
Dan, your use of textures under the wide road curves in urban areas takes them to a place I never dreamed about back a year ago. It's probably one of of the single most brilliant things I've seen lately- and you are showing yourself to be a master of the technique.
You've got my five stars- Bevelle is a great place to spend some quality SC4 time.

Dan, you really are showing us some great stuff here. The first mosaic in the last update was really top class. It must have taken much plopping, bulldozing and planning to get it looking just so. Well done.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Dan. :party:
I have seen your awesome mosaics dotted around the site! :D
That teaser has really made me want to come here again. You have done an awesome job on the transportation system, especially with the curvey roads. The wicked BATs you have chosen to use in your city really bring out the realism! Keep it up Dan the man! &apls

Condos and apartments line the river in this shot, providing spectacular views for its residents.
Now for some bad news regarding Bevelle...
A couple of weeks ago, my hard drive completely died on me. I'm in the process of getting everything straightened out, explaining why I haven't been around lately. I hope to be up and running soon; either continuing Bevelle from my last backup (which was before I started Aurora!) or starting from scratch with a whole new CJ/MD. With summer approaching and my job being more demanding now, I will be gone probably for quite some time. I guarantee I will return one day, so get ready...

Good luck with the whole hard drive thing. Oh, and jjust for the record, . . .
YOU . . . ARE . . . THE . . . GOD . . . OF . . . SIMCITY.
Teach me your ways Master . . . anyways, later dude.
A very very great update there! Great new mosaics!!!! :thumbsup:
Really special stuff here, Dan. Whatever happens, you can be assured that folks will be waiting with great interest for what comes next.

Sorry to hear about your hard drive. And i hope to see you back. I really like reading this, it looks so great. So i hope you will be back.
Too bad - I hope you can get it all sorted out. No matter what, you can be assured that I return he right after you have come back ;)

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end; this MD is no exception. I have finally fixed my desktop by installing a new hard drive, which means all my previous work is confined now only to pictures and memories. Although this means that Bevelle is no more, there is a glimmer of light on the horizon. I will be starting a new thread on Monday here and on Simtropolis. I hope everyone will join me there and I promise to deliver a SimCity experience like nothing anyone has ever seen before. So get ready... less than 48 hours to go!
