German route experiment

The last thread disappeared due to me.

But, here is the urban area, coming along swell. What do you think...

 

[Lo_Poly]

The riverside is going VERY well.

Looking good so far, might wanna add a few hills though, not every part of Germany is so flat (either that or your trying to model Ostfriesland).

I plan on having the area around the river there mostly flat, with lots of hills then mountains outside.

 

[Lo_Poly]

Out of the city and into the wilderness. A large gorge awaits you.

Very nice, makes me want to buy TC.

The amount of trees I had down was beginning to hurt the framrate, so to keep it up to speed I decided to just use mountains in the background instead. Looks good, too. :wave:

Here is a small village outside the mountain range.

(shame on them for defacing what mother nature built )

Hi Lo_Poly

Germany has many coniferous trees. I would suggest using more of those.

Cheers

I do have quite a few there in the forest if you look.

I'll make sure to add some to the village area.

Cheers.

Dear Chris,
Your dam has an statical problem.
The wall has to go not "convex", but "concave".
If You understand my weak English.

Edit: nevermind, I figured out what you meant. I'll make sure to fix that (also on the list: Add more spruces and pines )

Looking good, I particularly like your use of the SD street system.

More conifers

I corrected the dam, too

And corn DOES grow in Germany, right?

~Chris. :mop::mop:

 

[Lo_Poly]

I am beginning to think no one is interested in this route.

If that is the case I will still continue working on it, but some comments or opinions would still be very nice.

I corrected the dam, too

Now, It looks fine.
But:
Normaly, the "water pump unit" (I don't know, how to call it) is at the oposite of the dam.

FSP is right, if you look at photographs of the Hoover dam on the Colorado river, you'll notice the water intake towers for the generators are on the other side (and usually there is more than one). Having it on the low side where there is no incoming water pressure is kind of useless, its like having a water mill on a two foot stream

Maybe you could MS paint a red circle around what you're talking about?? I have no clue.

And does corn grow in Germany, right?

Of course!

But: Korn comes also from California.

And does anyone know of some good gravel pile objects on the DLS?
