Simply beautiful Mo. It really is.

verticalextropy · #**383** Posted **Nov 4, 2007, 4:53 PM**

sleek! just admirable, I wanna be there, during sunrise

what are you again rendering with?

Aleks · #**384** Posted **Nov 4, 2007, 7:48 PM**

I think he said he uses Kerkythea.

It's nice, I never asked you this or read it so I'll ask it now; Do you use textures? make the floors yourself? or combine both?

Patrick · #**385** Posted **Nov 4, 2007, 8:59 PM**

Sweet ,thanks

That map is now dead ,the new one's terrain will be fully 3D all hand drawn like Peters city

The last shot i grabbed the image half way through the render
This one i started some sort of something with glass buildings but then i got sick of it

verticalextropy · #**388** Posted **Nov 5, 2007, 1:39 PM**

that's a fantastic coffee table.

I mena really, those last buildings you made are so elegant and modern at the same time. Kudos!

Ruo Xandell would look great with some relief. Are there hills, bluffs, or the Queensland Alps or whatever you call them, near RX?

Im Inteested to see how you do your hills

SF needs hills soon,but I dunno an effective way to do so

Id love mo views of glassville

verticalextropy · #**390** Posted **Nov 5, 2007, 2:21 PM**

glassvile: Swarowsky might be interested in your design. Or at least if they had them I'd be interested in swarowsky's.

It's fairly easy to do hills. You just create some circles with three radiuses or rather many triangles (triangulate all the surface) and then just move some points upward at uneven heights.
I intended this as a park, it's ugly but anyway....

verticalextropy · #**391** Posted **Nov 5, 2007, 2:23 PM**

thinkning about it, all of out cities need relief. What was the name of that one abandoned city that capitalized its hills? something french- island I believe.

to make hills All you need is sandbox tools (sorry to Mo 4 spamin')
first make this (just use the Offset tool to go faster)

then just raise up the sections

then finally choose "From Contour"

finally a complete product

Aleks · #**394** Posted **Nov 6, 2007, 3:49 AM**

Hey, that's how I did my hills in my La Corte Island. Goof job!

Anyways your city is nice, awesome I'd say but I think it would be better if the buildings were closer to one another so that the city looks denser and more realistic.

Austin55 · #**395** Posted **Nov 6, 2007, 4:07 AM**

ohs,I nevernew that!

i has to try it.

What peters city?

foxmtbr · #**396** Posted **Nov 6, 2007, 5:43 AM**

Ooh, Palm Dunes will certainly see hills in its future...

Awesome work Mo.

verticalextropy · #**397** Posted **Nov 6, 2007, 5:45 AM**

oh fantastic teras, simple and efficient.

Aleks · #**398** Posted **Nov 6, 2007, 6:29 AM**

Peters city is Sabal Island.

Oh, I meant Good Job not Goof Job...
Anyways, I can imagine hills in a city like Rou-Xandell. They would look nice, like San Fran. but tropical.

CGII · #**399** Posted **Nov 9, 2007, 9:26 PM**

Making hills for developed areas is remarkably easy. If you want to build buildings on your hills, don't do it any of the ways detailed above:those are for undeveloped areas where you will actually see the hills themselves.

What you want to do instead is first set up your street grid. Then determine where you want your hills to go and push-pull the intersections of your street grid to mimic the contours of your hills. Then putz around with the streets themselves and make sure each intersection is connected by a street. The actual city blocks will stay in place below where your hills are, but this makes it far easier to develop.

All I did to fill in the empty blocks and make it look like continuous terrain is draw a line from one corner of the block to another so it covered up the flat, empty lot.

If you're going to do hills like that, might I recommend you simply do your city on a pure grid? The crooked streets of the Old City in CCII took several painstaking hours to give terrain to.

I do a different way to keep the file size low
roads are created in seperate files and then 'intersected' into the hill

I might start a new thread
