nahhh add a red telephone booth

Funny, I didn't read d00mh4mm3r's post, and when I read your suggestion to add a phone booth, my first thought was 'nah, not a phonebooth, add a mailbox'.

'Twas only after that that I noticed that's what d00mh4mm3r suggested

well, its his choice

Very very nice, keep up the great work

Can't find anything wrong with it now but that's just my opinion

ahh, now thats one cool building right there. if people where realy fussy i guess, satelite dish's on the roof, a safty rail on the roof as well would be asked for, but I say its cool for TTD right now:D

Looks very cool Give us more buildings

Wow, the details make the building.

Sorry, but it looks too... cubic? It does not look like a building, but like a simple 3D model. TTD graphics were much more alive. I suppose the contrast is the problem. The image should be much more contrast.

Allthough the original ttd graphics contain some buildings with rather distinguised architecture, there are also lots of buildings that are fairly basic in style as well as detailing.

Yep, it is very nice now!
I can't wait for the next one!

Yes, but they look more alive, because, I suppose, of the contrast. Try to render you building to be more contrast and post here. We shall look, if my supposition correct.

A small mockup.

cityscape1.jpg = how it is now
cityscape2.jpg = increased saturisation and contrast

You probably prefer 2.
I don't, since I'm not going for the cartoony oversaturated look of ttd (which is fine in it's own right), but for semi realistic city colours and lighting.

The second one definitely looks more TTDish.

I vote for number 1 (err pic 1)
Its not cartoony as pic 2.

I agree, its so much more warm in its looks, looks more lively.

its hard to decide, i think i'd go number 2.

Number one

I do. Lets make a poll?
BTW, the garden is enought contrast in the 1 image

One more idea - try to change the windows' texture. Now it looks like a paper

I say number two, even though I would prefer number one. Why? With 32bit, I see tinting and other effects as being a real possibility. So having somthing that looks bright and cheerful at first, will be a good start.

Number two looks more TTD'ish aswell. Bright, warm, lively.

Definitely number 2. More colour = more attractive (to a certain extent, of course).
