Title: Mickebear's Mediterraneum: Villas
Post by: mickebear on September 30, 2007, 11:24:13 AM
Now, dear friends, I will try to collect my villas rather here than decide if they are part of City, or Agriculture - because they aren't one or the other...

This is one of the villas that is already featured in Agriculture, but in my opinion deserves completely different thread, so let this be it...

This is Villa Capra aka Villa Rotunda, architect: Palladio

Kimcar, Antoine, Bobbo, Strechnitz: big thanks guys. I am still missing a bunch of details: some frises in the front and then the biggest problem, 20 statues which will kill my machine in the rendering process.

Strechnitz: if you talk about my home interior, it is finally finished: Mika's new home (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=18381&l=dfa09&id=671881604)

I have been lotting this beauty and tried to keep it as true to the original as possible. I have also made it compatible with the BSC Parks system and in the image below the lot is surrounded by park trails.
