I am happy that I bought that PIKO ICE3 train model recently. Now I can model it to have nice details without need to look at some pictures on the web. I have the model in front of my screen :)

WIP. Based on a historical Building in Indianapolis (façade) Sylvania. I dont think this will look well on the current game art direction. We need to look at current game textures/colors to integrate our designs.
I'm waiting impatiently to start using the modding tools.

Those textures look great. What tools do you use for textures? And is there some sort of tutorial for making textures like that?

Thanks. I'm working with Photoshop using images from the net.
You can find excellent base textures for brick walls, doors, windows on http://www.cgtextures.com/ or other texture library pages, then you need to work your magic in a image editor,
like Photoshop or similar. There are plenty of tutorials about Photoshop on the net.
 
I did this office building for the competition

But the post was flag for moderation, maybe because I put to many pictures? Just have to wait I guess. :huh:
Anyway, gonna try out some other cool stuff now that I know you can make holes in ground under the building :laugh:

Inverted Skyscrapers here we come!!!
 
I also hope some good modellers of you will make a few "weird plot size" buildings, to help bring variety and stuff to the game.
For example 1x4 plots, for those weird extra plots that end up on corners or intersections curving out.

And i would absolutely LOVE to see some 1x1 plot or 1x2 plot skyscrapers. I'm talking like the pencil towers in the Hong Kong mods for Sim City 4.
Like this.

Happy Modding all ;)
 
You are right about props but i want a huge HVAC unit for a Clinic/Hospital ( I cant see any similar prop on streamings).
The textures come from photos found on the net.
