Show us... your bulding on slopes.

[FromTheAshes]

This is a very "slopy" village I'm building at the moment.

[Ennedi]

Ashes, I love this picture! 

These houses look charming
But I'm not sure if your windmills have enough wind on this slope...

[FromTheAshes]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it
Right, actually I didn't think of that Beside they are standing in different directions  I think I have to do a lot more work on realism

[Ennedi]

It's very good they stand in different directions, this way you have power irrespective of wind (if you have wind...  )

very pretty ashes, nice bit of medditeranean (did i spell that right? i think if a words long enough you get to just make it up) style you have goin' there, that farm's a very nice touch, and nice bit of fotoshopping too.

here's a bit from one of my cities, not sure if it counts a sloped, since it's mostly leveled, but here goes

[FromTheAshes]

Thanks. Yours is very good as well, have you already played it? (Built a city)

[spartanB292]

Thank you, and i have not, though it is slightly planned out as to what goes where, i still want to completely terrace off the rest of the city.

Great pictures of that area @ both!

Macchu Pichu!


Looks good, Spartan.

And, FTA: that looks wonderful.

WOW.... sweet terracing...

Mulefisk: Where in the world did you find these walled-in sloped ramps?



I'd love to use them as a template to see if they can't be implemented in the NAM for RHW and Maxis highway ramps.

schm0: Here you go: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17489

The lots aren't that great but they can be modified easily.  If you want something to use as a template, I'd use marrasts M-TEL set instead.

[schm0]

Thanks Mulefisk... you can see what I'm trying to do here.

[Shiftred]

I am Bluepelican31 on Simtropolis.  Those viaducts you linked to are the only thing I have ever released .  Mulefisk you are the first person I have seen use them, I don't even have them installed right now.  You made great use of them.

[spartanB292]

Just another of the same city, only further progressed,
Obviously, click to enlarge, and it may take a sec to load.


Oh, and thanks for the link Mulefisk, always wondered where you'd gotten those.

EDIT: pesky imageshack .

[LoneRanger]

Wow, thanks to this thread [I recently stumbled on] I started to take an interest in onslope building.
Onslope makes some nice eyecandy as showed in this thread. 
My contribution and I hope you guys like it:



Please, any critics, hints or other usefull comments are welcome.  [except for the pause while taking a screenie  ]

That looks great, LoneRanger. Most of all I like you terrain-forming skills and the way you gently spread the trees cross the hill side. What terrain mod is this? I definitely need that!

[Andreas]

I must admit that I don't really like the streets along the hill and the various buildings that are scattered along it. But the place for Burg Eltz is beyond awesome; together with that terrain mod it looks really great. Too bad that your computer doesn't seem to handle the shadows very well. What about using a regular road and curve it upwards in smooth serpentines?

[LoneRanger]

I'm not sure yet what causes the "weird" shadows, I started when I upgraded from a 7600GT to a 8800GT.
I don't have a special profile yet for SC4 so I'm probbably using some settings SC4 can't handle well.
As for the terain mod, I have meadowshire installed but also missouriBreaks wich loads last. [long story]

I am working right now on road curving up gently as you suggested.

[LoneRanger]

Same location after Andreas' suggestions.




This view gives a better impression of the steepness:



It's not perfect but I think it defently improved.
