Shultzy's Showcase - Riverholm

Wow! Another great update here.

I especially like the stadium pic with that parking place, is just awesome. Also, you should turn that green area near your CBD in some kind of park. And just a little constructive critic, remember to turn the grid off. Except for that, your suburbs look just great.

About the building i was looking for, it was actually the one in the previews update. Not from pic 2.2 but from pic 1.2

PS: about the mosaic thing, maybe you should cut the image in smaller sections and put them all together in the update, so that the show up in the right size.

EDIT: 100 POSTS!!!

Congratulations on your 100 posts in your great MD.
It gives me great pleasure to move you to the next level....."The Best Sellers" section.


Congrats from myself and The SC4D Staff!

The update is great...

Fantastic update!  That's a very realistic looking urban area.

Looks like you've made a pretty good try at creating a suburban area, Jacob. You've already discussed the sidewalk/jagged-edge issue yourself, so there's no point in continuing it. Especially since I've no idea how to fix it either! Maybe someone will enlighten us.

Actually, my favorite pic this time is 3.5. You have some nice BATs there, and I've noticed you have some cars on the avenues in all the shots. So glad to see some parking space near the sports field, and a few Sims wandering around would add some life to the scene, too.

3.3 and 3.4 show off some nice little strip-shopping centers, which are a part of every suburban landscape everywhere. I like the lighting in 3.2 - looks like late afternoon - and it looks like most of those structures are residential. I'm not familiar enough with all the BATs to be sure, though.

And congratulations on reaching 100 posts so quickly. I predict you'll end up in classics before long!

p.s. Try and remember to turn off the grid. Try writing a note to yourself and taping it to your monitor - works for me!

[ShultzCity]

emmotic: Thanks! I know, I know - forgot the grid again  . This file could be the building you are after - I can't seem to find the orginial download - http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1120 . Hope this helps
rooker1:  Thanks mate, good to be in the new section...
bat: Thanks
Battlecat: Thankyou
Jmouse: Thanks Joan - I'll let the wide radius curve issue slip, as if I use curves in a rural scene, I won't want sidewalks anyway. I liked that shot as well (would have preferred a few more cars though). I have no mass transit system (I prefer to add things later, just like a real city), and didn't use any highways. I tried to place evenues strategically so that they acted more like arterials into the main CBD. This worked almost too well - one arterial had over 50000 cars travelling on it  . /i usually add different lighting post-processing to change the feel of time of day  - glad you liked it

Hi everyone, welcome to Riverholm! Thankyou to everyone who has replied over the last month or so, it is appreciated greatly! Hopefully, Riverholm can continue to grow into a well-known MD (thats the plan, anyway ). Todays update, as said previously, is going back to the rural roots of Riverholm. No farms as of yet, but we'll get there

Enjoy!







Cheers,
Jacob.

Nice rural area. 

[Rady]

Fantastic, all of them!! However the last pic is your masterpiece so far!

[canyonjumper]

Great pics, Jacob!

Oh man, fantastic set of rural pics! Great detail and great selection of trees to go with the ploppable water, and the transition to the ocean water is unnoticeable. Great work.

[sumwonyuno]

Amazing rural areas!      I'm so inspired to play the game right now!

[Battlecat]

Wonderful pictures!  You do an amazing job with nature details!

[bat]

Nice pictures of the nature with nice details!

[Jmouse]

Ah yes, back to nature! Your shorelines are a treat for the eyes and 4.2 is especially attractive; 4.3 is a very close second. The "evening-sunset" lighting looks great. I'm going to practice your technique but doubt if I'll ever produce results as good as yours.

Later...

Excellent job Jacob. I mentioned earlier that you use the game like a canvas. These last pics are pieces of art. Very nice.
