Zimmlock: if they used copperoxide the windows have a copper-coloured reflexction. More exotic than dull blue :roll: .
I have troubles with colors, can you give me minimal 3 but prefere 6 RGB numbers with DOS colors you think look like copperoxide?

Right, it's coppersulphate foil they stick to windows (with some sort of chemical process). Can't find a picture of it yet. Let's try again...

How do you make it have 2 colours? Did you just replace 2 different buildings? If so. You could flip it around to make it look slightly less like it's the same building.

About the structure that keeps up the front part: it could be built upon the entrance to the office block. It's so void below the elevated part. Or perhaps there is an entrance to a carpark below the building?

No, I've seen plenty of buildings built that way, they're required to have a public plaza of some sort, but they're allowed to use the airspace over it for more building.

Its one building in a certain color and the game generates 4 diffrent colored versions so its impossible to flip it. This is one of two buildings with this ability, see shots.

It is a plaza with the entrance to the building, it looks a little empty because the game doesnt show people.

This is really really shaping up very nicely. I like the imagination of you'r work, it is so refreshing. Much nicer than the original buildings.

Ever considered becoming an architect??? :wink: (or are you one already?) You seam to have the talent...

Keep up the good work... (can't wait for this set....)

Wow again

Post by Nilo »

Agian wow what a nice buildings you create. Go on and impress us with more.

I have a idea /question. In one of your pictures you have a fountain and a empty squere with bricks(do you know what i mean. The bricks look dull in a modern city. also somtimes a city gets a center only with fountains and bricks.

Why not changing the brick's to a parking place or somthing like that( in a real city there are parking places every where.

And wow again for your work it looks really nice. Like to see how some buildings changed in time(read the whole topic :P)

Thnx for all encouragements, i am not an architect, in real life i am an engineer.

The fountain is the only town-ornament what ll remain, a little space and air in town is refreshing. Ill not convert it in an parking place.
In the screenies you can see the town gets verry dense.
