Hello to all,
I was remembering old times reading Sculpting Columbia River, and I found some pics that may be considered some sort of tutorial, so I decided to post it here, hoping that it will be useful for somebody.
The "instructions" are quite short, so, feel free to ask if you are in doubt ;) !!!
This is my first serious attempt to make a mountain road in SC4. I will post it in 10 pics and few words. I only have to say that I think the result is not too bad. I´ll have to improve my skills on building this kind of roads, but I also think that this one deserves an update.
Here we go:
22.1 First layout.

22.2 Minor adjustments. Some more curved curves

22.3 Some retaining walls, of course.

22.4 A better (IMMO) perspective.

I apologize for the old pics, but the idea is the same right now ;D
thx jeronij.
Actually I think the whole SCR pics would make the best tutorial ever !
very nice thankyou
very cool totorial. i've never really thought about doing anything like this and i think it'll be fun to try it out when the time comes.
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!
Great stuff you've done.
Personally i would leave out the walls and leave bare rock especially if going for a mountain road- well that what they did where i grew up. Still it looks great once the houses appeared.
&apls Cool tutorial . Thanks for sharing . :thumbsup:
Awesome work Jeronij!! Even though they are old images they still look fantastic :thumbsup:
This tutorial is just great, as usually are yours Jeronij.
I have a little request: can you make a tutorial about building on slopes correctly? I mean how to build on slopes maintainig a smooth profile of the buildings (without the basement coming out from terrain).
Welcome to SC4 Devotion Rayced :thumbsup:
Is this (http://sc4devotion.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=27&topic=27.0) what you are looking for?

Thank you for the welcome. The tutorial you are suggesting me is not what i mean with my question: that one (and is a good tutorial) is for terraforming a slope, but even doing a slope like that i have some problems when zoning it, as i wrote in last post, to have the buildings resulting gently sloped as the terrain. I saw many pics of cities made by Jeronij and i can't obtain the same results.

Hi, I note the task in my tasks list ;) . I´ll try to make a tutorial and post is here somewhere. Anyway, I can say you that you should dominate the other referenced tutorial as this terraforming will also be needed ;D
I´ll keep you informed !!!
Gracias Jeronij!!
I'll upload some pics to explain well what i mean.
This is a nice tutorial - short and sweet. And like they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.
Thanks for reposting; although I enjoyed SCR very much, I gave up reading it because it was so long (I have a very short attention span) and the pages took forever to load.
@rayced, someone (I think Spa) posted a great tutorial on ST on building on slopes -- check the Omnibus section over there; it's called "working with hills" (I think).
Great idea for a mountainous region. Thank for the tutorial and great pictures. :thumbsup:
