Med Inspirations #52 - Kinbasket Old Mine (2) - April 15

[Girafe]

Amazing work, and what beautiful scenes 

[bat]

Great work on the farms there!!!

[nas-t]

that's what i call detailed! 

[threestooges]

Very nice work with that update. I particularly like the waterway going through the area. Far too often in the game it's easy to turn something like that into a linear channel. You must spend some time around rivers; your have a natural feeling weave to them. Nice work.

Excellent! Delightful rural areas. I am impressed! 

[Dantes]

Perfect Agricultural use.  It looks very good. I'm very impressed.  I liked the way the trees as the farmhouses. 

[Rhinocero]

Wonderfull pictures and farming scenes!! Bravo 

ps: can you please tell where to get the prop of the tree planter in your Med Marina lots?

Thanks so much

[vortext]

Gorgeous scenes!!   

What I've been wondering for some time now; how do you make the clouds / atmosphere in your pictures?
I really like it, in this update as well as earlier posts (the french riveria and station update for example) but when I try something similar myself it usually ends up looking very awkward (not to say horrible  ).
Any pointers?

Simcoug : Thank you !
Swordmaster : Thanks Willy ! That's right, but I think it's possible if the truck goes off-road a bit. Sometimes truck drivers are having a hard time in rural areas !
noahclem : Thanks a lot !
Framly : Thank you
Mr.Lin : Thanks !
ThomasK : Thanks a lot Thomas ! I'll be back with more growing action in the future ! About the quality of the JPG, try the "Sharpen" tool in Photoshop !
Girafe : Thanks you sir !
bat : Thanks a lot !
nas-t : Thanks !
threestooges : Thank you Matt ! I do like to work on rivers
Schulmanator : Thanks a lot !
Dantes : Thank you !
Rhinocero : Thanks a lot ! This prop is from ITS, see the link below !
vortext : Thank you ! About the cloud effects : Most of the time, cloud brushes are seen from earth, but we want clouds / mist / fog brushes as if they were seen from the sky. Also, the picture in SC4 is not taken so far from the "earth", so we should not be able to see the entire shape of a cloud, make it foggy ! Look on the internet for nice brushes ! Then, color it white/grey and make sure the opacity is very low, 20% to 40%.

Marina dependencies

Just to help you, if you are interested, and also because I forgot to tell you what blank building I used for the marina, here are the dependencies for the Marina set I uploaded ! First time I do that, wow ! ^^

Here the download link for the Marina set if you missed it !

Dependencies :

Blank building : (You must have it to avoid brown boxes)
Glenni SportsHall

Props : (If some are missing, the props will just not appear, no brown boxes)
- Cars. VIP teams props. You must have the MMPs but maybe not the props !

- Peg Docks.

Fantastic work! Would you mind sharing the water mod you're using (In the Rivieria - St. Tropez pictures)?
Thanks!

I've just watched all those brilliant pictures I've missed during summer ... Great work! The marina is brilliant as well!

November is SC4Devotion's 6th anniversary and what better way to celebrate than a super special month in the OSITM section!!

I'm pretty sure everyone is as amazed as I am everytime we visit this MD with the incredible high level of detail and realism.  I'm positive we'll have a super month following this MD!



Congrats from The SC4D Staf!!

[noahclem]

It's truly spectacular work that you do around here and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you'll be publishing this month. Congratulations on your OSITM

Yes, I fully concur. This is a landmark MD highlighted in a landmark month!

Cheers
