Seriously, mate... Patience... Hell, Google for textures. All you need to do is just manipulate photos of real buildings or just make originals from the ground up.

Turn on your computer.

Open your web browser. This is most likely Internet Explorer. It may go by a different name, but take some time to find it.

Go to Google.

That's http://www.google.com .

Click on the 'images' tab at http://www.google.com .

Type 'Building' into the query (that's the empty rectangle witht he flashing line).

Click 'Search.'

You will find multiple images to select.

Let's pick this one.

http://www.ihs.nl/photogallery/Build...ilding%202.jpg

Using your photo editing program, select out one face of the building, preferably the side whom says 'IHS.'

Copy this selection of the building.

Paste the copied selection into a new file whose edges just fit the edges of your selection.

Adjust the corners of your selection to fill the canvas.

Save this file in .jpg format.

If you don't understand this much, we've got a problem, and YOU're going to have to do some work on YOUR own to figure out how to do this. It's really quite simple.

Basic Overview


Any Sugestions? Questions? Ideas?

[Derek]

if there is a fort gonzalez...does that mean any latin influence in the city? if so...maybe try and add a bit of a latin influence in your city streets and what not...

Looking great there Pat! Yeah, it's a real relief to get any big breaks to work on this stuff.

I really can only suggest adding a greater quantity of greenspace, something which Staunton really lacks. (not that I'm critical of Staunton or any such blasphemy)

[Patrick]

^After seeing your new city Oceanside sure needs a nice big park! I was making a huge park across the river for Staunton, also there is a central park themed distirct with a nice sized park.

My Computer Crashed

Oceanside is Dead
New York City 2001 is Dead
Staunton has been reverted to Staunton 2.0

I'm going through a VERY tough time in my life, school, friends, family, ME, all in one week, on top of all that My computer crashes

I suggest everyone backs up their cities SOON, before the same tragety happens to YOU!

[poiman]

in what web sites do you find so many textures for your buildings?

[Austin55]

Wow! this is really cool! Its Right here ehh?!

[foxmtbr]

Yep, it's still here. I knew it was at the bottom of the list somewhere. Unfortunately the same can't be said about Sun City.

[Mocholate]

cool stuff , iv'e never found this one either

so how do you back-up the file , and is it possible to save to a disk ?
