A double post, sorry.

Zimmlock, did I suggest City Halls to you? You can have small ones for villages and increasingly sized once for larger cities. Like the City Hall of my hometown i.e.

Hyronymus, a nice idea, but i first want to have the new frame of TTRS-v3, the time feature, made, after this i can start adding new type of buildings ill keep the town halls inmind

would it be possible to make your petrol stations accept gas

Have been bussy to design new roads for TTRS-v3, Paved townroads only, i know its not possible to let it work yet, but who knows, by the time TTRS-v3 is released it maybe is

The 1920-1950road are made of bricks and the streets have no lines, the 1970-2079roads are made of asfalt, have lines and look more used becaus by that time a lot more vehicles make use of them.
The tunnel portals ll be a little different than shown here, ill move them more "forewards", now a vehicle entering a tunnel suddenly disapears, but the view ll stay the same.

Both look übercool Zimmlock

I think the earlier roads need a bit more graininess, they're too smooth. That would probably also eliminate the sharp contrast where the slope (and shading) changes. The later roads need a bit more shading for the slopes.

Nice, but the tunnel entrances are a bit to open, I think you can see how vehicles disappear ...

well we are talking about roads but i think some bulidings like the cathedral need a bit texture imo

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 01 Oct 2005 10:27

cathedral seems well textured, maybe you are talking about stock exchange (that orange-like building)

very cool raods!!! Can't wait.

But the sloapes "down / up" and "down \ up" are not darker than the normal streets.

Thanks for all encouragement and comments, all is written down and i am back to the drawingboard. (roads are more complex than they look like)

Zimmlock · Post by **Zimmlock** » 04 Oct 2005 08:25

Have changed the "old" 1920-1950 roads, added more graininess, darkend the dark slopes and new tunnel entrances, those are placed more forwards to hide the disappearing vehicles. (now just the fender pops out of sight)

as far as I remeber, stone roads are MUCH darker. So, I think you should make it even darker

Sanchimaru · Post by **Sanchimaru** » 04 Oct 2005 09:13

Stone is stone. There is no "stone color". Making it darker could result in it looking like concrete. Indeed, stone roads look lighter than concrete, and that's mainly what we want here: to have more difference from the usual concrete roads.

My observations:

> The textures look too regular. I know that it's hard, because it's a pattern to be repeated, and could look odd; or if it's too irregular, it can have a concrete feeling. Maybe you can add some bits of different colors (brown, green, tan, i.e.)

> In curves and crossings it has a straight simmetrical shape, making a sort of 90. angle that looks a bit strange. Making it rounder would be better, don't you agree?

They look good overall, but I think that they can still be improved.

I like them; let's hope some patch allows for time-changing roads!!
