Just some pictures

some pictures showing the two areas i have worked on the most this past month. The downtown area and the residential area. 

Houses!

The residential zone/suburbs, as mentioned before is getting revamped. houses are going to be larger and more realistic. So this post is going to show how we are going about building these houses.
(only screenshots this time. it will be very tedious to render every step)

First, the layout plan of the house is built, to give the general shape and size of the house. it also lets you see the rooms and decide what purpose each room serves

 walls are then built up and the position of the windows are decided

just brought the pavement around to create a front yard and added a driveway to the garage.

 second floor is built.

 layout of rooms on the second floor. this house will have 1 master bedroom, 2 guest rooms and a study.

 getting ready for the roof. a ladder to the attic will be put in when furnishing.

roof is completed!

 some minor landscaping and vegetation is added around the house. windows and garage door are filled in.

and theres the final result. most of the houses planned for this district will be built in this style and manner, so expect a full neighborhood in a few weeks time!

Small Update

a small update of what i have been working on lately.

-added a skytrain system (alongside the elevated highway)

-added a gas station

-added some terrace houses as a start to a new low density district

-current suburbs have been cleared and will be revamped

-added a 80 room hotel as a start to a new downtown district

and heres some pictures!

also, i would like to know if some vehicles should be added to the roads and highways to make the city a bit more lively. so please check out the poll i've posted.

Render Tests

Just some tests on the sky reflections on a new skyscraper. 

More Renders!

Here are some updated renders of the city's skyline and my very first night render!

Skyline Expansion

I have added several new buildings to the city's skyline. Including the city's first hotel. More skyscrapers will be built soon, and also, heres a sneak peek at the beginnings of a new highway!

New District!

To expand the city a bit more, i have opened up a new district - Waterfront. It has a new building code and currently has about 23 buildings in it, including a subway station. I am also working on a small expo/convention centre in the downtown area and will post that when it is completed.

But for now, here is Waterfront:
