Title: Show us your best Terraforming!
Post by: Masochist on November 10, 2006, 11:20:18 PM
For those of us (like me) who aren't so good at terra-forming, this thread can be used to showcase great examples from people who excel in it!

This is the best I've ever managed to do (done with SC4 Terraformer)...:

Doesn't have to necessarily be region shots, but if you're good at terraforming, here's a good place to show off!

Jackie...wow!  You're terraforming skills are top tier, no doubt!  My favorite part of that showcase is the foggy cove on the edge of the map.  I can just picture how it would look in real life!  And I love how your cliffs aren't just straight-line, shear cliffs.  It gives more justification for me drooling over it!  Seriously, those pics are awe-inspiring...please, for goodness sake please post again soon!

Wow...looks like I missed a lot in the week or so I haven't been here!  Okay, so I've got some comments, of course, because everything on this page looks spectacular!:

Jackie:  Oh, wow...what a scenic route!  This would make a really good postcard!  It reminds me a bit of the Pacific Coast highway, simply because it's on a cliff, next to a cliff.  And then it disappears into that forest...man, if only that road were real!  You're skills never, ever cease to amaze me!

mjig_dudy: Nice islands!  I guess those reefs are popular, although I've only seen them on this site.  But they make the islands look so natural!  I bet a celebrity would own that!  Nice!

TheTeaCat:  Some awesome terraforming!  That highway bridge doesn't look out of place at all...that's something I have a bit of trouble with (making highways look as natural as possible in natural settings).  This is some of the best terraforming I've seen from you, which is saying something, because I've seen some of your great terraforming!  Good job!

Jackie (again): Awesome lake!  That's the same one from your CJ, right?  (I can't check cause ST is offline...again...).  It's so stunning!  I can't think of another way to say that your skills are unbelievable, I really can't!  You hear it all the time, and for good reason!

I love the work that's being done!  It kinda makes me want to try some of it myself.  Please keep up the excellent work!  :thumbsup:

Welcome to page 3

Ok SC4 reinstalled and updated etc.

Forgot how long it took to install.Took many cups tea  ::)

Anyway since losing everything I thought I would start a new region from scratch. So to speak.

Here's a taster.

Hi TTC,

I can see several hours of work behind these pics. The overall region looks pretty nice. A river/lake/sea gives always lots of terrraforming posibilities  ;)

My only suggestion: You can use SC4 Terraformer for easy regional terraforming, without having to reconzilie edges, and enter and exit in each city you want to terraform.
After you have created your region main layout with SC4Terraformer, you can finish the "details" using the game god mode tools. It will save you lots of time, and you can forget the problems when trying to manually join two city tiles which share a mountain (for instance).

I hope this helps  ;)

Nice region, TheTeaCat!  I really like those hills around the water, and that valley in the corner surrounded by mountains, and those pocket lakes framing that mountain really gives the map a really interesting face!  I hope you do keep going with it, I'd love to what this looks like when it's totally done.  :thumbsup:

Post by: TheTeaCat on December 06, 2006, 04:04:59 PM
Thank you all for all you comments.

I have decided to continue to terraform the area but i have already started building on some of the tiles.

I like to play and its not long before the building bug takes over then back to terraforming then building etc. So this too has to be taken into account.

Re: The SC4 terraformer is a tool that i haven't really mastered yet but is something i will be looking into. I know the basics of it but its just mastering it. I realise that I am many years behind in the tools that have been produced for simcity, but just wait till I sit down and really start to give them a go.

Oh is that the kettle boiling?

A quick update on the region I am working on at the mo. Added some trees a bit of terraforming not much water and rock mod etc in other words dressed it up a bit. Still lots more to do but it looks nicer now on load up.

Hi Rayden  , I liked the pics, specially the first one. This is a very good terrain. Big plains for dense urban areas, lots of water which gives much more flexibility to a region, and also some hilly / mountain areas where to terraform some landscaping. I guess you made it by hand, right ?¿

Great pics amigo  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Show us your best Terraforming!
Post by: Rayden on December 12, 2006, 10:52:15 AM
The last one is also good. It doesn't look like but it's big enough and there is a lot of plain to fit quite big cities. The first one is from my latest CJ at ST, Little Italy and it's 5x5 big quads (25 squares) the middle one is a medium square map with 4x3 (all med and small squares) if I'm not mistaken, and the last one is 4x4 big city quads (16 squares).

Thx guys, if any of you would like me to upload them, just let me know. I can use wouanagaine's tools to make them uploadable.

Edit: And yes, they were hand-maded. :)

Wow! I suck at terraforming myself (well not the small parts, like conforming a shore line, but I couldn't make a decent mountain range if my life depended on it. lol.). You guys are incredible.

And TeaPot: that is really good, but you should get a matching terrain mod to the rock mod your using. Also, I think the beaches would benifit from this. Then it would look truly awesome.

This one, though [ linkie ] (http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/6734/3rr162boundssnownotreeszg5.jpg), is the biggest one yet, at 4,096 x 4,096.  It's 1.2mb, and will open in a new window.

It was all terraformed by hand starting with a likewise hand-drawn contour map over the space of about two months.  The region is 16 quads (40mi/64km) by 16 quads.

David,

I really dig the map that you've made. It is of excellent quality, and I have each upload from the STEX.  :thumbsup:

Hand terraformed at that size? It would be easy if most of the land was flat, but your map isn't. Unfortunately I mostly do maps of accurate scale, so I can't imagine the patience exerted during the creation of that beast. I'm sure you had a proper backup procedure done every other day or so.....

That is the Columbia River Valley (aka Invermere Valley) with a live shot on the first image, and my 3D shot from SC4 Terraformer. I tried to get the same perspective, but I think it's a bit off. I think that the map I did is pretty close to the original terrain. I used photoshop to change up the colors a little bit.

The mountain that you see in the last comparison (the horn looking thing - smallish in size from over 30km away) is shown here from very close. It is known as Mount Nelson, west of Invermere, British Columbia. It stands 3313m (10869ft) and I have been to the top (what a slog that was). The SC4TF image is close, however the data loss on the DEM data makes it a little off.

This comparison shot for some reason was almost impossible to get from the same perspective. I tried my hardest though...

Now for an ingame shot. This set of images cover quite a few large tiles. I have built some logging camps, ski hills, and mining operations in another version of this map that I have. It's tough to build in those small valleys, but it can be done, and it can be done beautifully, if you are patient:

I've scaled the map to 16m per pixel (1 pixel = 1 tile) of 16bit PNG greyscale data. The data had been referenced to WGS84 projection. This gets the closest accuracy I've ever seen in a map...

This was created using my new honed technique (which I've been using since I started out with NHP) invloving 16bit images and SC4 Terraformer. Thanks to wouanagaine (for creating SC4TF), I was able to make this map - which was my original goal over at ST.

Hope you guys enjoy these images.

The overall map size is 10.9MB, so I don't know if the STEX will allow (whaddya say jeronij?). it is 12x12 large tiles, or 3073x3073, thus turning off a large portion of the community from using this map due to computer speeds.

The valley from the first image is currently being modified by JPlumbley of NHP to allow for some great cities. He is pulling out the stops. This should be our most monumental map to date. I believe there are 18 large city tiles in the valley to build on, which is plenty. The rest..... you'll have to use your imagination!

Now I know right now I dont have many in-game pics of this map as it is a work-in progress still.  So please bear with me on the SC4TF pics.

This is the map Beskhu3epnm just previewed his mountains with.  The work he has asked me to do was recreate the LARGE valley for release.  With my techniques and ways of doing things it has taken me 3 months to get this far.  But that included about 5 weeks on no working due to school work.  All my work on this map has been hand terraformed using the tools in SC4TF.  The original river changed elevations and was very unusable for SC4 cities so it was erased and have been redone by hand.  The tricky part was to find a way to "blend" RL terrain with hand terraforming, I think I have done a pretty good job of it so far. 

This area has never been previewed before and I thought since you guys here have been so nice and such a great small community, that I would tease you guys a bit with this.  So here comes an overview of the valley as it stands today, please be warned the first pic is rather large and that is why it is in thumbnail.

Super region Alex. That is a real good job of no semas showing with the trees. I agree with you, max density with the tree controllers is way to go. 
I have noticed with my Teton region, and you have a little bit of it too; I am still getting the odd seam visible in the mountainy areas. Have you played with those seams at all, and/or figured out how to minimize them?

The rolling hills are great, but I' m not fan of your lake, the cliffs seems a bit too rough ( from this point of view )
You also seems to not have the latest SC4TF, I know the latest is not very easy to find, go around page 28 on the SC4TF Dev thead at ST, you'll have contour lines, something I found very usefull when making a fantasy map

That looks great Meno!!

Only thing I have to say to "upgrade"  the rolling hills you have... If you go over them with a strong erode tool and then a soft smoothing tool it will make your terrain come out nice and somewhat "realistic"

Looks great, but you are showing RL pictures. Could you tell us where in the world the different pictures are from ?

Hmmm...I good at this (bumping year-old threads, I mean %wrd).  Problem is that there's only four pages of "Show-Us" threads, so I can't really create a new one yet...especially since I was the one who created this one!

Anyways...here's something new from me:

Standard mountain ridge...but I tried doing a sort-of "rib" design.  You can see it slightly in the second picture...but these pictures are but a small part of something big ;)

Seems like no one is still terraforming these days... very old thread.

Some mountain doodling... Trying to get it right.
