Italy (Piave Map) - diary & progress

[+gterl 1,204]

This will be a bit of a diary

 

- Had to recreate the height-map

- Tile-map does not work..also redone, e.g. starting from scratch

- Initial area with focus on it: Venice and the according bay

 

Next-Steps

- Populate city of Venice (churches, ships, boats, bridges, monuments, etc.)

- Outline the bay

- City/town of Mestre (next due to the railway bridge)

Magnificent work!  Do you have the gondolas, ships, moorings, etc that you need?  If not, send me a PM and I can make some stuff for you.

 

EDIT:  I get most of my building art from this site - it has a section dedicated to Venice.

The canals look good. Are you making new TODs for the city?

[+gterl 1,204]

No new TOD's but depending on the future available 3d objects I'll create parts of the city via Targets.ini

I can't work in the dark.  Send me a PM with some of your completed art attached, so I have a city grid layout to work with.  Only then will I know how big to make the models, and how to lay them out to look realistic.
