Well these arn't very rural as it's practically in the middle of a city but their



The inner ring road crossing the green River



A very old village now surrounded by rice fields to the North and west while there is socialist blocks on the south and east.

Wonderful work Geoff! It reminds me of a model rail 

[Yan077]

CalibanX I love your 2 pictures 
(except the wave effect with the river)

another pic' 

[bob56]

very nice!! Love the shore of the stream and the buildings, especially the old church.
One suggestion I would have is the gravel-to-dirt SAM transition. I would suggest making a road in the middle. This works great at intersections. Nice job

[shoreman905]

Very nice work, Yan.

[Nardo69]

@calibanx: Nice work with those two railway lines and the trees! 

@Yan077: ca, c'est une tranquille rivière avec toutes ses plantes aquatic! (That's a tranquille river with all those water plants!)

The teaser from my recent MD update - I love how the valley has developed:



Enjoy!

Bernhard, I can't see your picture 

Yan077, wonderful town! I really love the fields 

[Gringamuyloca]

There is much inspiration laying amongst these pages... you folks blow me away!

...and I guess enough lurking around.... besides... I feel like I finally have proof that I HAVE been paying attention in class!!





large version here:

A huge thank you to all the teachers here, and for taking the time to share your knowledge... I hope I do you justice!

ps: first posting with pics... let me know what needs to improve.

Geoff - Beautiful work! 
I especially like rolling hills, trees (excellent placement  ) and the way you harmonize transit networks with the terrain. The railway on the first pic is just perfect!

Yan077 - beautiful picture too! Riversides are fantastic, I love the left bottom corner with trees and the house roof on the water background; this small harbour is very charming too 
I saw in the Picture Competition that some people didn't like the camping area, but I like it a lot! 
Beautiful work with pastures. At least a part of Chrisadams' pasture flora was intended to harmonize it with terrain textures, but very few people know it and use it that way. Your pastures are a masterspiece! (although I would suggest to use Green Rye Grass or White Flowers instead of the "basic" green grass here and there; it is a bit too luminous for some reason).

Bernhard - that's a beautiful rural picture my friend! I guess you remember your homeland landscapes very good  , they are close to my heart too, there are many similar rual landscapes in Germany and Poland (maybe German ones are a bit better organized  )

Gringamuyloca - yes, you was a good student in our class 
Your river is really great, beautiful riversides and the forest 
Also good work with FAR and FARR networks. The only imperfection is the crossing at the top of the second picture (partially covered by trees  ). But transit network custom content is still developed and maybe there is no possibility to make it better at this time. I hope all texture issues will be removed from the FAR/SAM stuff soon 
I hope we will see more of your pictures in future! Maybe a Mayor's Diary?...

My first try at a rural area, if you want it call it so.. (i know .. a lot of trees..)




Please critizice it,
Fabian

[Albus of Garaway]

That's some pretty amazing work, Fabian! The image gives a really cool effect. I have a few minor suggestions that could make it even better though:

1. Next time when you use ploppable water for a pong, try not to use quite as many rocks. Use a few rocks near the edge and in the water itself, and then use a variety of bushes/logs to fill the rest of the area.

2. Using the NAM smooth road curves could boost this image from a 9/10 up to a 10/10. They really make a huge difference, and you should try them!

Great picture! I love it!

Might want to check out Deep River and Mountain View over at SimPeg, they have some very good hints on how to use this stuff.
