Hello all,
Well ive posted a few pictures in other threads and I will repost those here
basically its random pictures around LA (or a fictional city just like it) . :D
Anyways eventually ill update it probaly a few times a week im hoping.
I'll start off with some pictures of an area inspired by the east LA area.

For the record I live in Montebello, CA and have much fun making these and have now decided to share them
I hope you enjoy them
:thumbsup:
As I've said before (and I'll say again here) that's LA alright. Lived in Corona del Mar until the end of 3rd grade, went to undergrad at Loyola Marymount University (near LAX), and now live in Costa Mesa and go to law school at Chapman in Orange. Can't wait to see more pics of the city.
wow i love the way you had the RHW raised and then that underpass lot looks really good. im curious to see more of that urban ditch pics you showed one time :thumbsup:
I really like the grittiness of your images.
And total respect for showing realistic looking roads that look older and worn, not brand new. I assume that this had been photoshopped?
I don;t have a clue what LA looks like but I really like the pics you posted. Love the colouring..
but I have to ask, in the first picture. What rural walls did you use to create that elevated RHW with the underpass? It looks awesome-o!
I agree with the previous posters. This looks very good and if I try to imagine what LA looks like I think this will come as close as it gets. I have however also one question. I don't recognize the street underpass use with the RHW. Could you perhaps hint to who it made and where it can be found? Thanks in advance.
:thumbsup:
I dunno how LA looks like, but I really like your pictures.
Can you give the link to those walls on the first pic?
4geowobo- excellent job :thumbsup: you have captured the feeling of the area very well. Looking forward to more LA inspired areas. (BTW three stooges- I didn't realize we are practically neighbors!)
This is great! You've got the "look" down.
I lived in San Juan Capistrano until I was 11...I'm still a Southern Californian at heart.
I'm looking forward to more. :thumbsup:
Cheers,
Kevin
Wow, great job! I've never seen LA besides on TV and in the movies (we did drive through it once, but that was only on I-5 to go from San Diego to Sacramento, and it was dark), but it looks great. The gray asphalt mod you used fits in well with the streets.
I'd also like to know where you got the walls for the RHW.
Brings back the nasty memories of driving around lost on a school trip (apparently we made 3 laps on the business loop)
Low wealth never looked so good. That is awesome. Very very well executed.
Wonderful start with these nice looking pictures! Great work! :thumbsup:
Wow, you're off to a fantastic start here, my friend! As has been pointed out, I love the distressed look you've given the roads, and the highways and residential areas look fantastic, too! I can't wait to see how you tackle the drainage canals that Los Angeles has (I've only seen them in the one chase scene from Terminator 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_2)).
In any event, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work!
I like the first picture of the highway and the underpass. I also like the sunset/hot/dusty/gritty affect.
Hello ,
I never went to L.A. except with Google Earth .... $%Grinno$%... Have to say I've found it as boring than huge , so boring and so huge that finally that's captivating ... I've found here again the same feeling with your work so far truly realistic at this scale . ::)

I have been to Montebello before specially Pico Rivera, and let me tell you this is truly realistic, excellent work looking forward for anther update ;)
WOW talk about amazing recreation here... 4geowobo great job here and i soo look forward to seeing more of your eyecandy - pat
Hello all posters,
Thank you for the compliments I will strive to post more pictures every blue yonder :D
For the most frequent questions
1. The underpasses are from a thread im sure there beta and in a thread on ST
"Under Bridge Scenery" I think. (Im sorry if its vague)
2. The roadside "ledges" are from a pack on ST im sure its the "Japaneses Wall Set".
3. The "dirty" look is from a street mod but I really hated how roads didn't have that asphalt look so I changed it to default.
It is a great pack
I appreciate all comments immensely
and thank all the lot creators :thumbsup:
Also the LA River is gonna take a while you see I know someone who was creating them at least last summer, I sent him/her a PM
and they said there still working on it, the second I get my hands on them you know im gonna be recreating them.
Lastly,
Please all I would love ideas on areas for my (or even pictures you've taken) it would be my inspiration.

Any comments, suggestions, or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
You take some great pictures, and that is pure LA right there. Ive been there a few times myself...never to those areas, but from what I see from all those movies, you are spot on. Love the photoshopped pics too!
Welcome to page 2!
Fantastic new pictures of that city! Wonderful work! :thumbsup:
More magnificent shots! You are doing a fantastic job capturing the essence of Los Angeles, my friend! Keep it up!
Wow, this is great work, I've never been to LA but this is exactly how it looks in my mind :D.
If you're having problems taking mosaics, try using the arrow keys to move the viewport around, that way they are automatically aligned ;).
Fred
Eyecandy indeed.
Great start you have here. I really like that gritty, run down urban feeling you've managed to capture.
The palm trees are such a simple touch that add so much character to your pics.
Can't wait to see more! :thumbsup:
Thats sadly how East L.A Looks!
Good JoB!
Loved the last 2 updates here 4geowobo.... Cant wait to see more of LA...
Is it just me, or am I playing GTA sanAdnreas. This is a fantastic representation, and according to my friends from LA, thay say it 'dope'
your pics are really nice and beautiful, the cool bending palm trees are a great bonus well done, looks awesome my friend :)
Richard

Fantastic two new pictures there! :thumbsup:
I love Gizmo's night mod, the new level of darkness is epic
here is another a type of Whittier type boulevard.

Beautiful work, 4geowobo! Absolutely beautiful! I'm a big fan of the night mod, too!
I love those streams of poop or whatever they are. never been to L.A, but im guessing this is pretty accurate.
WoW a great new fresh dirty life into LA... Great Job here - pat
Another great pictures of that area! Great work! :thumbsup:
Well I will soon post more pictures of the urban sprawl of a mess i've been doing, but soon this will be my next project.

Anyone know of LA River like projects?
This is a teaser of my newer works, a more industrial side of Los Angeles, this would be somewhere in the Commerce/Vernon area

lol @ the traffic direction
Hmm... I say this to all LA journals.
I love the city (being a Valley guy and all), and it real good.
Any plans on the best part of LA? ;)
I wanna see someone do the San Fernando Valley!
Fantastic teaser, my friend!
I can't wait to see you tackle what you've got in the real-life picture, too! Keep up the good work!
Looking great that teaser! :thumbsup:
Also looking forward to the update...
4geowobo love the teaser and i didnt realiZe that traffic in LA flowed all the same way on the highways, oooh wait never mind it must be a police chase or something lol
So US! ;) Where you have the industry in the last pics? ()what()

lol wut ;D
Ummm Im working on the area right now, its gonna be a while cause I have much to do irl
but im working all the small details and whatnot, btw im basing this industry off of the Commerce/Vernon area, rather then the downtown area
i.e. More warehouses less dilapidated
Also the traffic going the same way is just me not knowing how to create the RHW with separated lanes and still working correctly

I believe he means "So U.S.," as in, it looks very much like the United States. I could be wrong, though!
Thats some pretty good stuff there mate ;D Godd work,and good luck-I hope to see the CBD soon ()stsfd()
