Very good work you two! Stunning

[Ennedi]

I agree - very good work you two!

jordanmac - I like your city, especially the waterfront and the bridge (fits very well to the surrounding). However, your downtown is a bit dense for me - maybe some space for citizens?

l.h. - good planned and very well done  Your city has it's own character, I like it

I have a visual treat for you all. Here are a few shots from CAM test cities. Every lot was grown, only civic was plopped.




And if you never play with the lights on, you will when CAM is released.

Wow! After looking at those, I REALLY can't wait for the CAM to be released! Outstanding work, shoreman905!

[Ennedi]

shoreman905: Your city looks very good, especially at night. I am impressed 

You have a nice couple of buildings here, I see your taste is similar as mine (partially).

About CAM: I didn't try it yet. As I know, it gives amazing possibilities, not only growing great skyscrapers.
But I think some people will still plop some BATs because of planning requirements.

Some problems:
1. What to do with groups of identical buildings?
2. How to control growth to have what you want? Most of these buildings are BATs, you can't use NoMaxis plugin. Many of them have the same zot size.

Anyway, outstanding work! 

[Glenni]

Rather modest, but very similar to the Oslo skyline, so it's realistic atleast:P

[shoreman905]

Thank you, Ennedi, CAM has not been released as yet. We are still in the testing and tweaking phase. The assignment here was to grow as many of the new high stage CAM buildings as we could to observe the demand rates. So, not as much care went into the layout. Besides, we are restricted in this test to Maxis growables and ploppables only (you know hospitals, schools, untilities etc ). Go to BSC creations and the CAM development thread and read some of the reports and comments, JMyers has been very successful in the control area. I just threw them up for this and thought the group might be interested in a few views. The nightlighting is spectacular, particularly  dusk when the lights come on slowly to reveal all the colors.

Here's another updated shot from my downtown area. CAM looks great btw.

  Beautiful pictures of the downtowns @ all!

I'll start with a side project, this is Brentwood, I like its CBD better than the one of my main city. But I cant bear to throw away 1300 years of West Derry  ZOMFG!!! (No kidding)

Here is the Brentwood CBD..... enjoy. (BTW, I made this map and it is on ST, search for Brentwood)

My favorite park is the Rail island (though the only pic I have that's a .jpg is not focused on it), 2 hours of work in there.


The nuke is going to be replaced by a BAT, not descriptive because I have NO CLUE what i'll use. 

Rear View



The rail island (there's a .png, small but IDK if it will work)

This First one is old. I made it more complex 



Up to date but .png



Now we're off to West Derry (where the main tile is about a third full and at year 723, the other 2 tiles in the region make it 1300 years)


I'm rubbish at midrise, so here I kind of ignored it 

And this.... wait... that doesnt go there! Shame on me! (though it IS located just next to Brentwood's CBD

[bat]

Great pictures, flame1396! Also a nice port!

[Ennedi]

Glenni, modest city with nice people is better than a colourful one with bad people 

l.h. I like it, more please 

flame1396 great city, i said it earlier a few times 

Here are some of mine

General view



From other side



And some closeups

[rooker1]

Everyone, great pictures.

Ennedi,  I have just spent the last ten minutes staring at your pictures.  Great work, I really like everything, except one thing.  If you don't mind, I would like to suggest you look into a sidewalk modd.  Maye jeronij's, I hate the red sidewalks.  Just my opinion, but I think it would make already near perfect pictures, perfect pictures.

You have created a very great downtown, Ennedi!

[DFire870]

Great downtown Ennedi! What building is the circular brown/black one? I remember seeing it on the STEX but I can't find it again.

[Ennedi]

DFire870, it's Ympyratalo made by Prepo

[DFire870]

Ah, that's right, thanks! 

[Ennedi]

rooker1: Robin, you are absolutely right! To be honest, I was lost a bit with all these mods. I didn't remember it was possible to remove this red texture. Now it is improved. I think about showing this region in MD, thanks to you it will be better
