I love your MD. That last port mosaic is outstanding. I can't wait to see more.

Update #7 - Another Mosaic of Laon-Mitte

Wow! I can not believe how many replies I've got (yes for me this is a lot!).
Thank you so much for your support everybody

.
In this update I will show you some more Laon-Mitte

. I hope it doesn't get boring. But Laon-Mitte is the district I'm working on since months and it isn't even completed (Laon-Mitte is supposed to be on one large tile - the whole City of Laon is planned to be on approximately 9 tiles or more [I know it's huge]). Laon-Mitte is also the only district I'm currently working on, so I can't show you more at the moment (except from the port). Please let me hear your thoughts - Does it get boring or would you like to see some variety?
Oh, by the way, I just noticed, that my MD is now one month old

(or young).

Okay here's your next question, already

.
Shall I show you a huge mosaic of Laon-Mitte (it's without shrinking it 1680x16000 px) or should I show you the Lots I did myself in the Lot Editor and then, how I incorporated them into my city?
Let me know

. I personally would love to show you some Lots and if there's enough interest I could also upload them.

_maciex_: Thank you! I had huge problems building a good looking refinery. I think I've worked on it 10 times or so and always had to bulldoze it.
sumwonyuno: Thanks a lot! I was not sure how you would think of it. But glad you like it (I think you were referring to the first picture).
io_bg: Thanks a lot Ioan. Glad to see you here so often

.
shermankim777: Thanks a lot. Well I don't know what dependencies you are missing. If I remember right there are no dependencies needed for Somy's ports. You can just download them and they are supposed to work, aren't they?
Battlecat: Thanks a lot

. Yeah, I've tweaked the angle in the first picture, hehe. Hope I didn't confuse you

. I don't know if that was an indirect question. But most of the Lots I've used can be found in emilin's tutorial

.
silentbreaker: I take your words as a compliment. Thanks a lot. But in fact it's my first port. I've never tried to build a port before and personally I never thought that everybody "loves" my port. I think I've learned a lot from emilin's tutorial: Building a seaport... the hard way. And of course also by looking at the "Show us your seaport/shoreline"-thread

.
djvandrake: Thanks a lot. Glad you like it. I plan to extend the industrial area near my port soon.
Sciurus: Thanks a lot Guillaume

- Your comments are always appreciated. Glad you like it

.
art128: Thanks a lot for writing here so frequently and giving such nice comments, Arthur. It is really appreciated. And I hope I didn't hurt you that much with my confusing angle

.
jimbo_jj: Thanks a lot. I also take this as a compliment, as it really is my first port

. Glad you like it and I'm even more happy to hear that you see some kind of realism in it.
ecoba: Thanks Ethan. I love Whitefall, Iridar, too. How could I not? - I mean, it's a Hall of Fame MD

. Comparing my MD with this fabulous MD is a big compliment. Thanks a lot.
Tomas Neto: Thanks a lot

. Glad you like it.
hooha47: Thanks! You might have noticed that I use your parking lots a lot. These are awesome, thanks for creating them (had to say this, while I had the chance to

).

very very very nice Mosaic!

aint that fountain from a roundabout filler?

art128 · September 29, 2009, 08:56:29 AM

Hey, the gird !

Excellent developing once again, the trams fit in well perfectly as the rail line. The modern buildings are a nice touch to make that area feeling like a real city scene. The walls are great too, looks like there were an old citadel here before ?!
Take care,
-Arthur.

PS - I go for the Lot Editor too...

djvandrake · September 29, 2009, 10:02:42 AM

Nice mosaic!

I love the GLR.

My vote goes to seeing the lot editor work. I'm always interested in that and you're obviously rather good at it.

wallasey · September 29, 2009, 10:16:59 AM

It has been an age since I saw something like this on any of the associated fan-sites. I have been bowled over by what you have shown on here. The rail is brilliant; not many people have perfected it to the extent which you have.

Keep doing what you're doing!

Battlecat · September 29, 2009, 10:42:02 AM

Cool to know you're tweaking the angles! It really does have a positive impact on the way your shots look! Speaking of which, that's another really nice one today! Love the way you use the rail yards.

Tomas Neto · September 29, 2009, 04:16:12 PM

Fantastic the beauty of this mosaic!!! Really great work!!!

Sciurus · September 30, 2009, 06:26:56 AM

You know Fabian, it's still a pleasure for me to see your city, and I'm glad that my comments are nice for you

So, this mosaic is awesome, and beautiful!!

silentbreaker · September 30, 2009, 08:12:35 AM

Of course it was meant to be a compliment

And boring?! Your mosaics are definitely not boring. Instead they are a real pleasure; I especially like all the greenery, reminds me a bit of Berlin!

Keep it up!

silentbreaker

io_bg · September 30, 2009, 01:29:35 PM

Truly excellent work! (as usual

) Nice rail layout and use of w2w buildings! But I wonder how the sims ride on the trams, I didn't see even one GLR station on that long avenue by the rail station

hooha47 · September 30, 2009, 04:22:19 PM

Another great mosaic, and thanks for the plug.

I would love to see both the large mosaic and your lots, but if I have to choose one, I'd say the lots. I'm always curious to see how great city builders use the lot editor, so please show us some lots.

Fabian93 · October 04, 2009, 04:19:56 AM

Update #8 - Showing my own Lots: Part 1

Thank you for so many replies, yet again

.
In this Update I will show you some of the Lots I made. I will split this in several parts.
You might notice that I got inspired a lot by places in Berlin. Though I didn't try to recreate them, I just got, as I've already said, inspired.
Hope you like it.

The Kommandantenhaus in Berlin inspired me

When making this Lot, I was inspired by the Bebelplatz in Berlin

The Potsdamer Tor in Berlin...

...inspired me to make my own city gate

Hope you liked Update #8. See you soon with Update #9, where I will show you some more of my own Lots

.

Glowbal: Yes it is

. Thought it would fit quite good in front of that "high-rise".
art128: Thanks a lot, Arthur

. Well, actually those walls are supposed to represent the old city walls of Laon

. Glad you like it. Oh and of course I want to congratulate you for becoming an "OSITM"

.
djvandrake: Thanks

. Hope you like the Lots I've been showing in this update.
wallasey: Thanks. I take this as a big compliment

. Glad you like it.
Battlecat: Thanks a lot

, glad you like it and I'm even more glad to see you writing so frequently in this MD.
Tomas Neto: Thank you

. Glad to see you here so often, too.
Sciurus: Thanks a lot, Guillaume

. I'm glad to hear that you like it

.
silentbreaker: Thanks a lot

. It's always great to hear that, since I really love Berlin. I'll be driving to Berlin for 3 days (from 16-18), yet again. I might get some new ideas for the Lot Editor there.
io_bg: Thanks a lot, Ioan

. Yeah I know there's a lack of GLR stations, but I'll work on that

.
hooha47: Thanks again

. Hope you liked the first part of my Lots.

Sciurus · October 04, 2009, 05:14:01 AM

Woaw, wonderful! I forgot last time to say that your city is a model for mine!

I also saw the answers, and it's the same than last answer, is it normal?

Guillaume

silentbreaker · October 04, 2009, 06:19:02 AM

Your city is really inspiring me; you just know how to integrate new buildings like the cinedom or the the glass/steel towers in W2W areas

(something they could really learn from you here in Berlin; imho most new buildings are just plain ugly or totally misplaced

)

PS: Do they write from right to left in Leviathan now?

Tomas Neto · October 04, 2009, 07:09:08 AM

Awesome!!! Really, fantastic update!!!

art128 · October 04, 2009, 07:28:00 AM

Now, that is some sweets LE work my friend ! I see that many real area inspired you, that is a good thing. I really like the Postdamer tor, nicely done !
Take care,
-Arthur.

Bobbi · October 04, 2009, 07:30:40 AM

WOW! LE is a fantastic thing

Glowbal · October 04, 2009, 08:59:19 AM

That sure is some nice update!
