Need tips for US city building.

[jadebullet]

Hi, i was wondering if anyone had any tips on making a US city look realistic. Im not really looking for a large city with tons of skyscrapers like New York, but a smaller city, like Reading, PA. I just need tips and tricks on things like texturing and building placement to make it realistic looking. Any help is appriciated.

-Thanks

CityScape and CityStreets

You might like to use some of my CityStreets content. Here on my site are some screens of the Blocks and Splines: http://www.ttbwrr.com/TTBWRR-TPR-Citystreets-Keystone-Corridor.htm They are available on my site at the above address as individual files or as large grouped files from the TPR Download Depot at: http://www.ttbwrr.com/TTBWRR-TPR-Citystreets-Keystone-Corridor.htm The East Coast Urban Generic content may also be useful: http://www.ttbwrr.com/TTBWRR-TPR-Citystreets-East-Coast-Urban.htm

You might also try searching for my ID = dmdrake on the DLS for hundreds of CityStreets and CityScape buildings and blocks and Splines. The first 10 t0 15 pages of hits are full of buildings.

Good Luck, Dave:wave:

To dmdrake.....

I love your creations and use them ALOT. I had a brain fart and was wondering about the possibility of adding streets and/or sidewalks in your city splines. Obviously the lengthwise ones would be fine while the cross streets would stretch as the spline stretched, but even if they were simple base textures under the buildings would be a major benefit and would make the task of city building even more simple than you have helped make it (it's still tedious of course). Anyway, that's just a thought.
