Codename "LEX" (commissioned city WIP)

[Simkin]

Really good job till now. I'm waiting for the final version (or at least the more you can show to us). Lining all the blocks and buildings must have been a great challenge.

[Tom]

I'm working on color variation, main buildings are done, still need to do the landmarks.
Next time I have to focus on terrain

(bottom left you can se an example of shadow/highlight)

Great progress! I love how intricate the layout design is. It is easy to visualize the different districts and income levels of the various neighborhoods just at a glance.

[Tom]

At this point I see roofs everywhere, even when I close my eyes
I started the shadow/highlight part, still not sure about brightness and saturation, but I'll check it at the end with the client.






Yes, before someone ask, it still miss chimneys.. and trees, carts, and lot of stuff actually (aaaaaargh)

[Tom]

Big update, I almost finished the shadowing part..

[wdmartin]

This is looking awesome. Great work!

[Tom]

Big update! the main map is almost done, I still have to do trees and vegetation, ships and other minor details (waves, people, smoke, etc..)
this preview is resized by 1/3 the original map is more than 10k pixel (sometimes it lags like hell!)


this is a snapshot at real size, I'm trying to add people, what do you think?

The city design looks great Tom.
One question though. Is the water body coming into the city a river or an elaborate lake?
If it is a river, then it would be very odd it just "ends" in the city and does not have an outlet into the sea.

The water body is a lowland-marshland area, the river is redirected in to the moat around the city (work in progress)
