          Welcome to the gallery, Mark. Very nice presentation. My one criticism would be the north arrow - the black color doesn't really go with the rest of the model, and it stands out too much. You might want to try a light or medium gray.

          edit: Also, have you looked at adding some cars on those roads?

            Great image...welcome to the forum.

            I agree about the north arrow. tone it down or just have it be white and let the shadows define it.
            I agree with the comment about the trees there is a ruby called randor.rb or something like that created by TBD you can select all the tree components and apply the ruby and it will randomize their scale.
            There is a fine line between monochromatic and fully textures. Your image starts down the path of fully textures but stops short. In that regard I wonder if it might benefit by making the flat roofs a darker color like they would be in reality. similarly I wonder if having some extremely low poly cars might ad a sense of dynamics to the image.

            Just my 2 cents. But again it a great image and I look forward to seeing more of you efforts.

                          I'm going to be doing a model like this shortly... thanks for sharing and giving us some inspiration!

                            Well thanks for all the encouraging words, folks.

                            And thanks for the suggestions:
                            -North Arrow- needs to calm down.
                            -Trees - some scale variety would be nice. (I actually have that ‘randor.rb’ ruby already)
                            -Cars - yeah, would liven it up a bit, and I think give a better sense of scale.

                            And Phil, I agree that is a fine line of how far to go with texturing…

                            I got a couple more shots of this model that I will throw up here soon.

                              Here are a couple closer in views.
                              I adjusted the Style for these views to have longer extensions and a thicker line weight in Layout.

                              The second one I had trouble getting all the sketchy lines to show up like I wanted. Layout seems to be real finicky sometimes about what it will show or not.

                              Enjoy.

                                They look great, Mark. Hope I'm not coming off too picky, but have a few comments:

                                1. Adjust the color of either the grass or the trees, as the two are blending together, especially in the second image.

                                2. That blue sky looks a bit cartoonish, IMHO. You might want to look at toning it down. Is that a backdrop? In perspective mode, SU should display the sky with gradation from top to bottom.

                                3. Add some more people to the first scene. I'm reading it as a public space, but it doesn't look too lively.

                                Keep 'em coming.

                                  NO not too picky, Daniel. Those are good suggestions.
                                  That is a backdrop in the sky. I knew something didn't quite feel right but it didn't occur to me that I was missing the gradient that SU automatically puts in there. 😄

                                    That would make a great model for rendering using Vue, keeping the buildings simple but adding a realistic terrain and solid growth trees. considering rendering at all?

                                      Well, Solo, I would love to render it, but I have Zero rendering experience so I still need to take the time to learn how....

                                        Pete, since most of the terrain is hardscape, why not just delete the SU trees and import it into Vue as is, and just add solid growth trees? I admit I haven't figured out how to model custom terrains in Vue yet.
