Hi guys!
Well yeah ehmm... so I finally hit the wall as I usually do when making these imaginary cities...
The problem is that it rarely turns out the way I want it.. and this case is no different..
I'd spend a lot of time creating the textures from my pics and well.. when it finally comes down to it I'm not satisfied with most of them - they don't come off nearly as realistic as I was hopening for..
And neither does the buildings... in this case I was making the buildings very fast and the plan were then to add details later when more of the city was done... but I realise now that to make the both realistic and futuristic city I want I'll have to startover and build it up in a completely different manner... where all the details are there from the begining and where the buildings start out with details and personality not get it gradually - because I'll never get around to that point in real life..
I've not given completely up on this city just yet.. but I will take a break from it and probable start a new project ( that will most likely end up the same way as this and 100s before it
)
Here's a "close up" picture of what is/was ment to be the downtown area with a huge square and the city's main tower "the Atlantis Tower" ( inspired by a monument I saw in Singapore btw )
I'll probable take a few more pics of the angles and buildings I like so far... but as far as an investment of a lifetime goes.. well you are better off with Apple or Microsoft stocks..
( btw no refunds for the people who already transfered
)
Well... not much else to say really... getting it just right is a HELL of a lot tougher than it looks
But hey if it were that easy the forum would be packed with Stauntons
Thanks for all the nice replies guys - it's appriciated!
See you all when my next product is ready ( it'll probable take some months as I want to start it at a much later state the next time - and in a state where I don't lose interest because the downtown is already done.. )
( on the plus side of things I managed to keep the entire city under 2.5mb
)
