The Wilson Residence Park City looks like it's a really nice neighbourhood. I also think that the last photoshopped image is the best way to present Tennington I've seen yet. I think it fits the style of the textures and the trees. It looks like an accurate drawing.

The textures are so grainy they conceal the amount and detail of low rises!
One of the typical problems (specially for me) is that we just make high rise or skyscraper cities (no relation) and struggle with proportion.

I'd like to see clay model shot of your skyline.

So, should I stop using that photoshopped trick or should I still do the grainy photoshop trick? Oh, and thanks!

Not all textures are grainy, some are good. What's the trick downsizing them and enlarging them again to lose weight? jpgs are fat. pngs are slim.

Honestly I just use MS Paint and create a tile. But I meant the textures of some of the latter low rises I was complimenting. Sometimes it's just a matter of raising the roof a lil bit so that windows have some frame space on the last floor.

And you might wanna smooth out the corners of that perfectly triangular blue building.

Actually at this stage this is getting to be a very promising city (only reason I'm posting)

An EMporis Shot!

Well, I started a new Dsitrict called Winsdor Area District. It is a mix between commercial buildings and residential complexes and buildings.
here is a Emporis Shot of the TellComm Building:



Another shot of the Winsdor District:



And lastly a map of the whole city:

Orange: Buisness District
Blue: Winsdor Area District
Light yellow:Stadium District
light green: Wilson
Dark Green/brown: Olde Town
Darker Yellowark

Now, I'm thinking that I'm am ALL DONE witht he highrises due to this is a 900,000 city and this has been enough. SO the rest will be rowhouses, convention center and lowrises. Whatcha think?
Also last chance to state what you think will be a good hockey team. ANy last ideas before I name it by myself?

I like the pencil-outline style of rendering that you introduced recently. Your city is looking great. Overall, the skyline is entirely believable and the designs consistent. It is starting to look a bit like Lower Manhattan.

Hockey has always seemed a bit synonymous with Canada to me. "Rouge" is the french word for "Red", which is the primary color of Canada's flag. You could call your team the "Rouges" as a subtle tip of the hat to Canada. As a bonus, it sounds a bit like "Rogues" which isn't a bad name either.

Thanks Jhoward!
Well, I both liked your team names but I think I'm going ot Jhoward's name "rouges" becuase the main primary team color jersey would be red and black. Also because I don't think "soaring Eagles" would fit into hockey.(then again, a hockey team is named Thrashers) Though I might use "soaring Eagles" as the basketball team. Thanks for the team name tho.

Here is a different approach to a EMpris page.

ReinCorp Enterprises Headquarters:


I'm thinking I like the other approach better than this approach. What do you think?

Also since this is a 900,000 pop city I think I';m done with high rises. What do you also think?
As of now:
Basketball: Tennington Tossers(thans insertnamehere! Could change to Tennington Soaring Eagles))

Baseball: tEnnington Invicties(thanks Jhoward!)

Hockey: Tennington Rouges(thanks Jhoward!)

I had no idea that someone had taken a plunge from Reincorp Tower. Is there any backstory there? In any case, nice Emporis detail. :-)

Well, Back when ReinCorp was just finished. there used to be an outdoor observation floor. Whle a construction worker was working on the side fence, these kids bumped into him and he fell and died.The fences were very low and so it was very vulerable and east to fall. They took down everything even the elevator to go up to the outdoor observation floor.

Well I'm thinking I'm renaming the Shopping District to the Manhiem West District. It will mainly be tuorists and shopping.There will be a few highrises here and there and will be mainly be based off the SoHo in New York City.

SoHo:

www.jonathanstephens.com/newyork-large/Soho


The Port will probably be moved to the the east more and will also include old Warehouses and low cost rowhouses. This is where the poor people will live.There will also be poverty there. You know, Tennington isn't the nicest city out there.The Civic Center won't be for awhile but will stay in the same place as the map before this post. Right Beisde the park I'm thinking of adding a small island that will consist of small houses and rowhouses. If the island does NOT get built I'm thinking of placing small, dirty rowhouses with lots of greenery.

Tell me what you think!

oh no it's not! There is probably only a couple thousand people so far ,and then I'll move out of the peninsula and then move into the outer land. It should take at least 6 months- 1 more year to complete the whole city.

Edit: LOL i just saw your post and read it wrong. Yeah exactly what you said.

Do you like the new improvments of the shopping district and port? BTW I won't be able to due more updates for at least 10-13 days due to vacation, but I can answers comments.
