[bubbalove]

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

[Mark]

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.

[Mark]

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.

[Mark]

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?

[Mark]

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....

[Daniel]

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.

Mark, I just love all these images. Really great! All the suggestions given are only going to make your images even better!
