Med Inspirations #52 - Kinbasket Old Mine (2) - April 15

[Framly]

Great work as always! The City looks very realistic and the choice of BATs is very good

Fantastic work with the Tram! You avoided the Maxis-white Tram, bravo!

Keep up your amazing work! Good luck for the HoF

[wallasey]

Daventry looks phenomenal! The development is just right, nothing has been over built, you have done well to balance the buildings and land uses.

#Update 46 - Coos Bay - Presentation - November 08

Here we are, this is the presentation of my new project !
It's been quite some times now that I work on random tiles, and you don't want to know how my region looks like, from Chiesa Nuova, to Daventry Town, including Amazraou, French Riviera, urban and rural scenes, Oglio river etc... Yes, this is a big mess !
I miss working on a region, with a global layout, region views etc... So the project is quite simple, to make a nice region !
You know me, this is not gonna be mass zoning. I want a detailed and functional region !
About the style, It's gonna be close from what you saw in Daventry Town. Some Euro-American mix.

I'll work on Coos Bay from Izidor, and I'll keep the name cause I love it. That being said, I'm not gonna reprduce at all the real Coos Bay in Oregon !
http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27832-coos-bay-oregon/
I'll use Lowkee's terrain mod and Gobias new beaches.

1 - SC4 Terraformer render of the region.


2 - Here is the map, the way I want to work on the region, with the limits of SC4 in mind. Of curse I'm just starting so this is gonna evolve. Feel free to give me advices about that !


3 - Here is a teaser ! Yes I started with the CBD, just to work on the layout, terraforming, marina and some plopped buildings. I'll now work on the surroundings to make sure I have a big demand when I'll be back to work on the CBD.


Hope you'll like it !

[nas-t]

looks very promising 

I'm very curios about the airport! and everything else 

[art128]

Now that's some heavy and great planning, Benoit!

Wonderful first picture. I can see this is going to be a nice CBD!

I actually have a little suggestion concerning the highway path at the north. I think it would be more realistic and better to make it goes through the airport. Like at the south would be the terminal and then a tunnel that span all the way to the north of the airport. What do you think?


-Arthur.

[noahclem]

Exciting new project Benoit!

It sounds like our playing styles are fairly similar--detailed but functional cities, working with the game's demand, and incorporating a mix or Euro and American styles. Yours is certainly an MD I enjoy and draw inspiration from.

The first CBD picture is truly beautiful. I look forward to seeing how this develops!

[Ol.S / Benoit]

nas-t : Thanks ! Well, the airport is not for now, to be honest I don't even have one plugin related to the airport as I never made one... But this is part of the plan ! And I'll try to make a nice one.

art128 : Thanks Arthur. I have to keep in mind that I can't make diag tunnels. ^^ But sure, this is good idea, to be honest I already knew that I might not stick to the plan for this area, so it helps me ! Could look like that, West-East tunnel, or could big a long North-South tunnel as you said, not sure yet. I like the idea of having the highway next to the runways.


noahclem : Thanks, it means a lot ! You are also an inspiration.

[Swordmaster]

Great to see you take on a region, Benoit! Regional play has always had my preference, and it should be very interesting to see how you take it on. If the plan and first picture are the standard, this'll be as good as anything you've made!

Cheers
Willy

[RickD]

Good planning. How about a railway to the south?

[weixc812]

Nice planning 
It seems that we'll see a bunch of modern pics soon?

[Schulmanator]

Great work on the maps! And I am eager to see more.

[sunv123]

That looks like a wonderful place to put a CBD, right at the tip of a a little peninsula.

Really want to see what the suburbs look like.

[vortext]

Nice planning, curious to see how it'll turn out though if the teaser pic is any indication I'm guessing pretty spectacular. 

[bat]

Wonderful teaser and nice region there.
Looking forward to more of it.

[Ol.S / Benoit]

interesting pictures of the bridges and the Downtown, Benoit.

[Girafe]

Pic 6 is so simple but really beautiful 

[Swordmaster]

Wow, Benoit. I love those bridges. Good photoshopping, too. I can learn a lot from you in that regard. (Well, in most regards, actually )

Cheers
Willy

[noahclem]

Awesome start to this region     You really do an amazing job with your city centers and shorelines!

[RickD]

Looks great. I love bridges. 

Which water mod are you using? Is it even a mod or shopped?
