Re: More city buildings Reply #317 – February 13, 2010, 01:29:44 pm Vegetable patches, definitely, they can apply to most eras. Runner beans growing up canes, that sort of thing!Formal landscape elements (fountains, steps and terraces, lawns mown in stripes) for if you make a stone/ more upper-cl**** house version (which these are presumably not). That never went out of fashion either.I'd also put iron railings between the front steps, as though there's a light well behind down to a basement floor. Fairly standard design - in fact that's the whole reason for the steps out front as you've shown them. Without the basement you wouldn't need the steps!

Re: More city buildings Reply #318 – February 13, 2010, 01:40:07 pm Excellent! Perhaps also a block of flats in the same vein? Or perhaps larger 2x1 units? I am looking at Wikipedia's comments and photos of terraced housing.Have you noticed the cities seem to grow "better" when higher-density housing is available...

Re: More city buildings Reply #319 – February 13, 2010, 03:43:30 pm Put some more stuff on back yards and rendered snow images.http://www.saunalahti.fi/jusskiiv/pak/building.A_3StoryTerraced.pak.zipThat was model for this building.http://www.eriding.net/media/photos/geography/where_I_live/beverley/060901_rfoster_mp_geo_bev_044.JPGThanks for ideas.I got time to do more buildings if someone has photo.Wlindley, simutrans doesn't yet support city buildings larger than 1 tile.

Re: More city buildings Reply #320 – February 13, 2010, 05:00:13 pm Perhaps some period tenements? Images from Future GlasgowAnd in the more modern era -- from flickr: "Erno Goldfinger designed Alexander Fleming House, now known as Metro Central Heights, Elephant and Castle, London." Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #321 – February 13, 2010, 05:14:32 pm Might I suggest some modern high density buildings, such as: Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #322 – February 13, 2010, 05:25:28 pm Or, perhaps, this: for late 19th century high-density residential? Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #323 – February 13, 2010, 08:55:42 pm Here is preview of next building.As you can see there is still plenty of work. Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #324 – February 13, 2010, 09:05:51 pm Anyway, it's a great work! Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #325 – February 13, 2010, 09:29:54 pm Very impressive looking so far! Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #326 – February 14, 2010, 11:36:26 am It is here now!http://www.saunalahti.fi/jusskiiv/pak/building.A_4StoryTenement.pak.zip Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #327 – February 14, 2010, 11:47:42 am Archon,that looks good, although two things to consider: firstly, the colour of the bricks seems a tad light; and secondly, they seem to be a different (smaller) scale to those terraced houses... But excellent to see the building variety increasing so! Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #328 – February 14, 2010, 11:51:12 am What about some nice tower blocks? Specifically something like the Swedenborg Gardens estate. I think that the slenderness of the towers means they would work fine in simutrans, and also capture the typical style of the British tower blocks, which often were rather slender. It's a sad thing they don't make them like it today. ;c Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #329 – February 14, 2010, 01:19:58 pm 1920 looks a lot more realistic now! Archon, could you possibly do an in-block (non-corner) variant of the tenement, to give us long rows of them? Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #330 – February 14, 2010, 01:26:51 pm Looking impressive so far! Really great to have a steady stream of new buildings coming on - should certainly add more variety to cities with the timeline on.Somehow though they just don't quite look like the existing pak128.Britain style buildings though (or is this just me?), and I'm not sure why either. The colours are right, the buildings are good examples of British city buildings, and the scale is right. They just looks a little blurred to me compared to the existing ones. Are they done in blender? If so I'd love to have a look at the blends and compare the render settings and see if I can play around with it. Sorry to be critical - I really like them, just I'm not 100% convinced about them next to the existing buildings and I'd like to see what others think and whether we can fix it. Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #331 – February 14, 2010, 05:50:27 pm I tested it some more and walls indeed seem too bright. Here is picture with one rotation remade.blender file can be found: http://www.saunalahti.fi/jusskiiv/3storyterraced.blend It contains both buildings.Tenement might have little too small doors but other than that scale looks good.My priorities are currently early buildings 1750 - 1940.

Re: More city buildings Reply #332 – February 14, 2010, 05:52:06 pm Ahh, the darker one is a definite improvement! It fits with the style much better. Quote Selected
Re: More city buildings Reply #333 – February 14, 2010, 06:08:33 pm good work, these would certainly give more variety to the current city buildings Quote Selected
