Update 24

Today I've a few (photoshopped ) pictures for you
I really like the blur effect



Again the cathedral...



After reinstalling my Windows at the end of December, I've been having problems with installing the SC4 Updates... So for this early-morning shot photoshop helped me with creating the nightlights



Two streets crossing in the Old town



Now the sunny beach



And a picture showing part of the marina



Hope you like this update! Don't forget to post a comment, it doesn't take much time

[Cyclone1001]

Wow, that marina is flawless! That first night shot looked great, and you make good beaches. Very nice.

Nice update, Ioan. I like how you managed to get a good looking city of the coast of the Mediterranean or the Black see. The photoshopped effect you've done are nice too, I like the picture with the marina, nice job with the water reflection. The only thing I don't like is the mix of Spanish W2W (Madrid) and the parisian W2W.. I think those can't be mixed together.
But anyway that's a nice update for sure.

Looks like this comment in your MD is my 3000th post.. 

[Battlecat]

Very nice all around!  That's a great looking beach scene! 

[Tomas Neto]

Wow, awesome marina and beach!!! Very realistic!!! 

[Nanami]

Nice waterfronts ! especially the marina!

[bat]

Really nice more pictures of this island! And nice beach there!

[djvandrake]

I love your beach!!!!  That's got to be the best beach shot I've seen in a long time.  Bravo!! 

[ShultzCity]

Beautiful! Love the marina and the beach, they are great 

May I ask how you were able to blend the san d into the ocean so well?

[Sciurus]

Wonderful! I like the mix of Parisian architecture and Mediterranean style, I find it goes goos together

Paradise island is looking beautiful, I especially like the cathedral with the stairs leading up to it. Great job on the marina as well.

[mightygoose]

i like the subtle photoshopping and the excellent layout/feel of the city, however the pictures are a little heavy on the saturation.

[Fabian93]

Ioan, I'm sorry for missing so many Updates ...
All of them look really fantastic and your photoshopping skills are unbelievable good
But what impressed me most was the region shot - I don't know how you did that, but all those cities flow together very nicely somehow.

Keep up the fantastic work
Fabian

ShultzCity - Thank you. I made that blend by terraforming and using underwater beach lots
Sciurus - Merci mon ami
kwakelaar - Thanks! I'm glad that someone has spotted those stairs
mightygoose - My point was to make the pics look like they've been taken during a sunny day, that's why I saturated them more than usual.
Fabian93 - Thanks very much, Fabian!

Teaser

Something like a week ago I installed Windows 7 on my PC and had a few issues, that's why I couldn't play SC4 and post updates here Hopefully everything is fine now and now I'm showing you some progress I hope to be able to post a full update in the weekend.



Hope you like it, any feedback is welcome

[Battlecat]

Looks good to me!  I like your use of the reefs on those river bottoms!

Glad you sorted out windows 7, that's one leap of modern software I'm really not looking forward to.  I'm probably not going to upgrade my current computer, I'll just make the jump when I get a new system. 

[djvandrake]

Fantastic teaser.  Your river bottom has so much detail! 

[MandelSoft]

Your last three updates look absolutely fabulous  Maybe you can send a pic to the Picture Competition.

I'm glad that you got everything working with Windows 7. I hope I can see some new wonderful updates soon!

Best,
Maarten
