wow chris this is fantastic progress the fences are looking awesome as do the paths,the ditch and flora is amazing awesome work

[SimNation]

Nice work on the water fungal/plant growth that would even look good for areas that you could say are dried water creeks put a lil bit of rocks in the middle as well and you got urself a dried creek/river bed. The flora just keeps getting better and better. Makes it look more like the ground actually has life to it...any chance you might make cotten tails and dried grass as well?  Great work so far and the fences look great next to that road.

OMG!!!! I want this stuff so bad! this would fit in great with Parkland! you are doing such an amazing job on these things!

[Diggis]

Hey chris, sorry I haven't been in touch about the MML.  I'll have a look at it early next week hopefully. 

[Chrisadams3997]

No hurry Diggis, just get to it when you can.  I'll send you a few more files to add when I get around to it.

Chris, this is simply amazing!

Feels like it was just recently I saw the first fences you posted on page one...

And now, I suddenly had seven unread pages to go through, and...

Watching this thread is wonderful and painful all at the same time.
Painful only in the sense that I can't wait 

Wonderful work Chris, hugely impressive.

[Chrisadams3997]

Really appreciate all the compliments everyone .

Just to answer a few questions, As I round out the whole ditch/stream project, I'd like to make smaller versions of several of the present ploppable water flora's out there.  It's extremely easy, I'll need to get the original textures from thier creators.  I'll also be working on several new textures with and without flora, though no permanent decisions have been made on it.

At any rate, that'll all come once I've got a few other projects finished and out of the way.

chris you have made my day..... i cant wait to see you start the progress on the revamping of the PW flora..

[Gaston]

Hey Chris,
    Here is a couple of images of the fences.   Man do they look great in this application.   (Sorry it is a PNG image and not JPG.   I can't seem to make Clip@Pic work.)

Nice to see them in use, and in ways I wouldn't have thought of.

They also look good next to that PEG(if I'm not mistaken) road base texture.

Yes I believe you are correct.

CRAP -  I just notice I left the dang grids on.   Sheesh that is such a noob mistake.   

[Ennedi]

Gaston showed fences, and I would like to show you how beautiful looks Chris' wildflowers.

I blended them with Jeronij's grass on a few pictures.

Edit: these pictures are not photoshopped (contrast very slightly improved) - I want to make everything as is









Look how good it blends with the terrain mod's textures





And here you can see Chris' and Italia Terrain mod's yellow flowers together:



Here is my imitation of the dwarfpine on the slope - without Chris' wildflowers...



...And with them



And at the end - the forest road 



It will be something great - thank you Chris! 

[Pat]

WOW omg Adam that is freakin sweet.... I love your use of the road and the flora wow im total drolling now here and awaiting the release of these.......

[Andreas]

Oh my, those last shots are incredible! Together with Cycledogg's terrain mods and his trees, this is taking SC4 to yet another new level. Are the "dwarfpines" also part of Chris' pack? It's amazing how a game called "SimCity" is able to create such beautiful landscapes, without the slightest hint of a city. Spectacular work! 

[Serkanner]

The picture Forest Road would be an instant winner in the picture competitions here on Devotion ... what a beauty!!! 

[Ennedi]

Are the "dwarfpines" also part of Chris' pack?

No, it is a swamp tree fom one of old tree sets (now I don't remember wchich one).
As for "dwarfpine" - it is the last flora level (except grass) in some Alpine areas, Tatra Mountains in Poland and all Carpathian Mountains.







I asked some people for help and making something like it, but without results. So I had to imitate it and the swamp tree is the only one wchich can be used in this case, but it is far from ideal

The picture Forest Road would be an instant winner in the picture competitions here on Devotion ... what a beauty!!! 

Thank you very much for such nice words, but:
1. This picture was only possible thanks to Chris' work, especially wise choosen collection of road pieces
2. I think I shouldn't give this picture to the Competition before this set will be released

[Andreas]

Well, for a "swamp tree", it looks very nice as dwarf pine. If you happen to find the pack where it came from, please tell me.

Andreas, it's a shame, but I don't know...
I have it from a very long time, I think it comes with one of old prop packs. An icon description is made in the same manner as SFBT Props/ Arkenberge Joe Baeume, but I checked this file and there isn't a swamp tree there.

wow
those pictures are GREAT!

really.
