Tokyo 1:1

[hazy heron]

i agree i will go to the previous lighting

yes definitely

[keen spade]

Most water LUTs kinda suck

[wide topaz]

i think my water lut is good

[halcyon minnow]

1000th message of this forum

previous lighting is better except for water

[hazy heron]

congrats

1000 messages

[hazy heron]

alright hows that

[wide topaz]

Cool

[hazy heron]

very cool

[tired pike]

that looks so good

whats your usual fps

[hazy heron]

20-30

with ULOD and dynamic resolution cranked (250%) it goes down to 1-3

however only with ULOD, its like 10

20-30 is very good and playable

feels like 60 at 30

its tokyo tower time

[hazy heron]

one hour of progress

[tired pike]

Oh dang nice

[tired pike]

Wow lol

[tired pike]

It looks great

It's cool how you're reaching the tokyo tower now

[hazy heron]

thank you :))

currently building more!

[tired pike]

Nice

I'm looking forward to it

[tired pike]

They have a few cherry blossom trees where I live and they look really pretty

It's cool how they are everywhere in Tokyo

[hazy heron]

damn i think ive only seen a couple in my life

[tired pike]

That looks really good

[hazy heron]

not too much where im from

[hazy heron]

Thanks:D

[tired pike]

I'm surprised they even have them here lol

[hazy heron]

may i ask where "here" is ?

[tired pike]

Like

The middle of the desert

[hazy heron]

wait what

[tired pike]

I live in new mexico, it's a state many people forget about

[hazy heron]

theres cherry blossoms in new mexico????

[tired pike]

Well they don't grow here naturally lol just a few people have planted them

[hazy heron]

ooh

thats still dope

[tired pike]

Yeah

There's also cherry blossom trees in Washington DC and they are very pretty

[hazy heron]

man that must be nice

[tired pike]

That looks really good

I like the angles you take the screenshots at

[tired pike]

Yeah

[hazy heron]

thank you C:

im not near any cherry blossom trees :(

none in manitoba

but in bc

ik theyre there

[tired pike]

Rip

Are you from Manitoba?

[hazy heron]

yee

[tired pike]

I have never met anyone from there

[hazy heron]

small province :P

[tired pike]

I have a friend from like.ontario. But that's it lol

[hazy heron]

xd

manitoba only has 1 mil ppl so

makes sense

[tired pike]

Oh wow that's even less people than here

2 mil people live in my state

[hazy heron]

no one likes it here so no one wants to live here

[tired pike]

Oh I see

[hazy heron]

alright hows this

[tired pike]

That looks amazing

I really like it

It's very realistic

[hazy heron]

thanks:D im trying to see if i can get more of those types of shots

not sure if i like this one

anyways time for me to sleep

goodnight and thx for the compliments <:

[wide topaz]

gn

nice pic btw

[keen spade]

darkfire you got any tips on detailing the streets to make it less empty? I am starting to do it but atm im only using jp planters

and bollards

[mossy osprey]

Such a good picture wow

[stable bough]

This is so amazing! Unfortunately I am not at that level of building in cs yet lol

[hazy heron]

Trees, decals, hedges, billboards, street signs, road markings, planters, power lines, fences, search on the workshop for road props:)

[hazy heron]

Thank you!

[hazy heron]

And thank you c:

[hazy heron]

Thank you as well! It takes lots of time and patience 😔

[stable bough]

Yeah that’s crazy

How long has it took you so far?

[hazy heron]

so far this project has taken me almost a year! (may 16th, 2022), but lots of breaks were taken in between

so realistically i would say 4 months? 5?

[stable bough]

Wow that’s a long time! Can you share some pictures when you start working on it again?

[hazy heron]

im working on it right now :D

[stable bough]

nice

can you send some pics?

[hazy heron]

sure thing, doing it rn

just detailing tokyo tower right now

[hazy heron]

im tired thats all for today

[wide topaz]

:>

[wide topaz]

wao

is that tokyo tower ?

[hazy heron]

Indeed indeed

[wide topaz]

idk its actually in dense area tho XD

[hazy heron]

i would say it is

everything matches accordingly

[shadow oriole]

これがいいでしよ！

[hazy heron]

本当にありがとうございました!:)

[wide topaz]

:0

[magic ledge]

I've missed a lot have i

NOOO YOURE SO XLOSE TO MY HOUSE

KILL ME

[stoic apex]

NOOO WAYYYYY THIS LOOKS INSANE

I’m so jealous darkfire, I wish I had your skills man

Keep up the good work!

[tired pike]

there is no such LUT or theme in steam workshop... did you mean springwood?

[spare finch]

probably @tired pike it looks very similar

[hazy heron]

sorry yeah springwood

ill update it

[fathom pivot]

gyattt

my pc would explode

and its a "high end" pc

[hazy heron]

Honestly it’s really just the ram :’)

[fathom pivot]

its so funny how my pc that i spent near 4k on is useless on cities skylines modded

[hazy heron]

4K? Geez

[fathom pivot]

tho true i dont have good ram cuz every single game i play requires less than 16 gb

other than modded cs

[hazy heron]

I have 64

[fathom pivot]

exactly

[hazy heron]

I literally need 64

[fathom pivot]

i wish cs wasnt a ram based game

[fathom pivot]

my cpu and gpu are wild

[hazy heron]

At this point I need 96 ,_,

Ok good news my savegame has not been impacted at all from the game update

[shadow oriole]

All things considered RAM is one of the cheaper things to upgrade tho

Especially if your computer cost $4000

[fathom pivot]

i know i know

but like

im broke asf rn

[fathom pivot]

it was more like 3200

[shadow oriole]

Shouldn't have spent $4000 on a computer then 😂

[fathom pivot]

but i cant upgrade ram rn so im hardstuck vanillaish

[fathom pivot]

its called saving up money

[hazy heron]

Playing vanilla cs is fine, as long as you have fun!

Shit where is the find it mod

Ah damn

Welp

No building for today

[shadow oriole]

I just subscribed to it and turned it on for giggles and it actually worked lol

[hazy heron]

Mod dev just posted that if you resub to it a bunch it works :P

Ig I’ll try it out

[hazy heron]

aye it works

??????????

random wall/quay i cant remove???

weird ,_,

dissapears from random distances as well

man what the hell lmao

this also random dissapears

quays bugged or smth?

this real annoying

[hazy heron]

eh whatever

heres the progress

[torn nimbus]

Damn this looks amazing, both the building and your quality screenshots. Fantastic

I thought Ultimate Eye Candy didn't work anymore, I swapped to render it, but I don't feel I get as good results as I used to

[hazy heron]

i never liked render it, always stuck with ultimate eye candy :)

final photos for today

[hazy heron]

2 days of progress :>

[keen spade]

darkfire

are you getting errors with ultimate eyecandy?

[magic ledge]

i missed so much

did you build tokyo tower area now

wait

wheres roppongi main street

NAHHH YOURE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MY HOME

[hazy heron]

Not for me

[torn nimbus]

Yeah I agree, tonemapper in it crushes the contrast as well, something's just off. So I've kept to it using LUT's, seeing UEC work well still though I'm going to try and go back 🙂

Mind sharing the settings you use for lighting? I'm using the Springwood LUT usually or my own

[tidal vessel]

awesome

[hazy heron]

The settings have been shared in a photo I’ve sent

[torn nimbus]

cool cool, I'll rummage through and find it 🙂 thanks

[hazy heron]

.

I got it for y’a @torn nimbus

[hazy heron]

Click on here

[torn nimbus]

oh thanks! 🙂

using relight at default settings with brightness at 1 as well I'd assume

[hazy heron]

Yes!

[torn nimbus]

cool, I'll remove render it, and test some stuff out 🙂 Thanks again!

Just getting back to Ultimate Eyecandy will be nice I think

never tried daylight classic though

so that'll be a new one for me

You use all the mods in the Graphics list and they all still work fine?

all except cubemap replacer allright

[hazy heron]

Yeah I loaded in yesterday and everything was fine :P

Yeah I’m not using any sky-replacers anymore

[torn nimbus]

I misread Dynamic Resolution for some reason, thought it said Not working in 1.9 so I always avoided it 😄

[torn nimbus]

Isn't it what Daylight Classic does? Maybe it only affects lighting then

You use Sunshafts as well? Read some comments stating they had issues with it

There's two PostProcessFX mods there too

I'm not able to open the Eyecandy window

Everything runs fine though

[hazy heron]

daylight classic brings back the old way of daylight visual setting graphics, while sky-replacers such as cubemap and AD-cloud replacer changes the skyboxes

[hazy heron]

yup sunshafts are in!

[hazy heron]

oh really?

thats werid..

[torn nimbus]

I didn't do sunshafts, but noticed that PostProcessFX had it built in

Was surprised that both versions worked together

and their Ambient occlusion settings work a tad differently

[torn nimbus]

Yeah, I've tried to restart the game too, but shift+u doesn't do anything at all for some reason.. Going to try some more stuff out and see if I can get it working

[hazy heron]

maybe its with the new update? either that or try to unsub and resub the sub on the workshop

[torn nimbus]

yeah could be, that it overlaps with some other mod, or the mod-tools

going to test with modtools disabled first

[hazy heron]

interesting.. let me know if it works! Gotta do some uni work, ill be readily to respond in a couple of hours

[torn nimbus]

Will do 🙂

Do you have everything enabled in Daylight Classic?

[hazy heron]

everything but the 4th setting if i remember correctly

can you send a photo of it?

ill remember if you send a photo of it

[torn nimbus]

yeah will do 🙂

[hazy heron]

yupp i dont have classic sun position on

everything is the same as me

[torn nimbus]

yeah alrighty 🙂 I still haven't gotten Ultimate Eye Candy to work, might start to go through one and one mod to see if I get it working hehe

probably some mod I have that interfere

[torn nimbus]

Hm, weird stuff, I unsubbed from all the mods, and resubbed only to relight, shadowstrength and UEC and it still doesn't show ingame

got this now though

The Mod C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\255710\672248733 [UltimateEyecandy.dll] has caused an error [ModException]

Details:

at LoadingWrapper.OnLevelUnloading () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

[hazy heron]

Oh shit is the mod causing game breaking problems now?

[torn nimbus]

Not really, just got the error when going back to the menu, and the mod doesn't seem to work or show up ingame at all

do you use Load Order mod and that?

Now it works!👍

had to resub to everything once more

weird stuff

[still stirrup]

awesome!

But yeah nice to know it works now

[torn nimbus]

Alright gotcha 😄 Yeah, so the issue was actually super stupid, I loaded up one of the scenario maps to test it as it already had a city. It doesn't work there, but if I load up a new map it does.

[still stirrup]

i used it before, but it didnt help with my loading time or anything so i stopped using it

[torn nimbus]

Gotcha, well some of my other mods has it listed as dependancy

[still stirrup]

ooh really which ones?

[torn nimbus]

But it all works now, probably has been all the time lol

[still stirrup]

i do have the harmony mod which is a dependancy for some mods like fps booster

i know thats required for loading order

but my games works with and without it

[torn nimbus]

Road Builder at least

[still stirrup]

oh okay i dont have that mod

[torn nimbus]

yeah it's for custom asset making, It hasn't hurt anything so I figured it's probably one of the good ones to leave in for load ordering assets and prevent duplicates

[still stirrup]

ah okay i dont make assets i just use PO xD

@torn nimbus do you play heavily modded ?

[torn nimbus]

No not really anymore

[still stirrup]

for realism?

ah

[torn nimbus]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2951134648

these are my mods right now, sort of started fresh

[still stirrup]

thats a good selection of mods to have

i dont see move it

wait

i see it

find it is also a good mod

but its kinda cheating if youre playing more of a vanilla gameplay style

[torn nimbus]

yeah, I rarely use it

most for when I'm making assets

[still stirrup]

what kind of assets do you make :O

[torn nimbus]

Right now I'm working on new roads

[still stirrup]

oooo

[torn nimbus]

other than that usually maps and themes

[still stirrup]

oh thats sick can i see your work?

[torn nimbus]

sure

these are the two roads I have done atm

wet and dry

stepped away from using road builder and started with the old manual way instead for better control

[still stirrup]

oh hell yeah thats awesome!

[torn nimbus]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944942595

this was the LUT I made for my Tunsberg mod, trying to get a good look without the need for relight and eyecandy

[still stirrup]

wait ive seen this before on the workshop

[torn nimbus]

I still think I prefer the eyecandy relight look

So I might redo it

oh you have? Hehe nice

[still stirrup]

looks realistic :D

[torn nimbus]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944278788 was for this map

[still stirrup]

this is nice

[torn nimbus]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2767761930 another map I made a while ago

[still stirrup]

honestly if there was just a bit more shadows, that would be 100% great

[torn nimbus]

yeah it's not too bad, I'm pretty happy with it in regards to it not relying on relight

yeah postprocessFX on it with the AO would probably do good

[still stirrup]

this is also really well done, i cant make maps or terrain for shit ,_,

[torn nimbus]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2774842819 and this is the Canyon Map I worked on after Hadeland

[still stirrup]

woahhh

thats actually super awesome

[torn nimbus]

Thank you! 😄

I've been hoping to see some awesome cities built in them, especially the Hadeland Map, I'm not as great of a builder as you are. But I haven't seen any cities in them yet

besides my own

hehe

Hadeland is based on a real place though, so I ended up adding a lot of prebuilt roads on it

[still stirrup]

making a wild west down would be super cool

town*

[torn nimbus]

It's a small town, where I thought it would be fantastic to see peoples city metropolis encorporated in it hehe

[torn nimbus]

definitely!

[still stirrup]

do you have a good enough pc to try and make realistic builds? i would to see a wild west town

[torn nimbus]

I think it's great fun to make maps and assets into the game, can't wait to see how it will be in the sequel, hope I can finally make smaller rivers. This game doesn't allow for smaller than 8 meters sadly

Oh yeah I do, got a 4090 and 64gb of ram 😄

Ryzen 9 7950X

It holds up pretty well hehe

[still stirrup]

gah damn

thats better than mine LOL

yeah

you should have no problem

theres potential

[torn nimbus]

hehe

Don't think I'm at your level on the building though 😄 Far from it

hehe

time of day doesn't work in Ultimate Eyecandy anymore it seems, do you use Play it for that? or just leave the cycle going?

[still stirrup]

it did take me 8 years to get where i am ,_, but hey, with practice comes potential :D as long as youre inspired youll get better and better frfr

[still stirrup]

the time of day stopped working for like 5 minutes then it worked for me, is it still not responding?

not even 5 mins, like 2

[torn nimbus]

Yeah, I'm an artist by profession, so if I put the time and effort in I'm sure I could do OK eventually 😄 I got a tendency to get stuck on the details when modeling etc and when making assets and such. Sometimes getting stuck on trying to bypass limits or trying to solve a way around to get it properly

[torn nimbus]

interesting, yeah no the slider just didn't do anything here the entire time

will see if there's any conflict with play it

[still stirrup]

the details.. yeah.. they take forever! realism in cs is the same it takes forever to detail and find the right assets

[still stirrup]

yeah try that out!

[torn nimbus]

Yeah hehe, I often end up looking for something, then I can't find exactly what I want so I start thinking about making it myself often as well. Like with these roads, wanted close to vanilla, mesh well with vanilla but with yellow centerlines

Now I'm like, I want to remake all the vanilla roads with my touches

But stuff takes time after work hehe

Did you make your custom theme as well?

I should probably add Ultimate Level of Detail as well to extend the distance of LOD meshes

[torn nimbus]

after I added play it it started working hehe, and it controls play it

[still stirrup]

i use theme mixer, my main theme is springwood, but ive adjusted the grass and water textures and messed with the colours a bit!

[torn nimbus]

so play it bounces back to the time set in Uec

[still stirrup]

such a helpful mod

[torn nimbus]

oh nice, Springwood lut and theme was the one I made Tunsberg with, before I made my own lut, the theme is still springwood though iirc

Unless I swapped it to a different one for the fields, I can't remember

[torn nimbus]

speaking of things I felt missing was roads that have sidewalks only on one of the sides of the road, how the game works and renders network I sort of get why it doesn't exist much if any. So I've been thinking about a way to make that work well and still connect well to roads with both sides.

I might have an idea though, really want to make it work

[torn nimbus]

I switched to Uvaspina Summer

[still stirrup]

wait i never really thought about this

that is interesting..

[torn nimbus]

tiny photo

but shows the LUT I made with the nice time of day hehe

I haven't tested how well it works with default Relight settings yet

[still stirrup]

that is actually a very nice setting/LUT to have - especially for vanilla wow

might have to try your lut out

[torn nimbus]

Granted I did use render it to control the fog distance though

and shadow strength

[still stirrup]

do you use render it and ultimate eye candy?

[torn nimbus]

No, I started using render it when I thought Eyecandy didn't work anymore

When I swapped to this new computer I hadn't played in a year or so, so I had to go through all mods

Kind of why I just hit unsub from everything and started fresh

But never felt I got as close with render it alone, before I made the LUT I tried the custom tonemapping but it is doing something wrong, crushes blacks completely and just doesn't give me the control I'm used to when tweaking raws etc

The map doesn't load anymore, not sure why or what has happened. Will eat some and try to figure out what's missing after 😅 thought I had all the same mods but something is broken from before the patch dropped

[still stirrup]

aw man that sucks:(( i hope eventually it loads again! Such a pain when maps dont load

[torn nimbus]

Yeah 😅

[torn nimbus]

one thing is certain, it did not work well with Daylight Classic

my lut

got the save working, it was the vanilla+ roads

With how I had Render it set up, I'm not sure I would need the Eyecandy mod actually, I will have to do some testing and comparisons

Key part was the Postprocessing FX

Daylight Classic may have something but I'm not quite sure yet

yeah

[still stirrup]

oh thats great to hear and see!

seems like theres a death wave

[torn nimbus]

I feel I'm missing something, the shadows are so weak

ignore all the warnings 😛 Realpop is acting up

Very saturated and shadows are a bit weak

Must have forgotten something

Cranking up Relight Contrast helps though

[still stirrup]

oh that looks much better!

[still stirrup]

wait what the heck is your monitor really wide?

[torn nimbus]

Yeah, really does Disabled some of the settings in Daylight Classic

Yeah it's 21:9 hehe

[still stirrup]

damn dude lmao

i updated the brightness and contrast on my recent photo

is the grass too dark?

[torn nimbus]

hmm, looks more saturated at least?

Might be that there's some crushing of blacks going on as well

looks like the contrast is a tad too strong, was that on my end too

it does this, crushes dark grays

0,9 works though without killing grays

[still stirrup]

is this better?

[torn nimbus]

yeah

[still stirrup]

that does look better

[torn nimbus]

your shadows are so dark and nice lookin

[still stirrup]

i have shadow strength adjuster!

[torn nimbus]

I do so as well, but even at the max it is still pretty bright for some reason

[still stirrup]

do you have all settings set to max in the base game?

[torn nimbus]

yeah

[still stirrup]

also is ui resolution good?

i totally forget if i have it or not

i play 4k

[torn nimbus]

Yeah it's great

[still stirrup]

thats weird.. and wow you play on 200% dynamic?

my max is 250%, if i go to 300 my game crashes

[torn nimbus]

haha yeah I'm at 250% now

nearly 50 fps, I'll probably have to lower it once the city gets bigger

[still stirrup]

damn

4090 buff

i have a 3070

i get 20-30 without ULOD

so im pretty happy

[torn nimbus]

I think it was the LUT

was using Springwood

tested some others and shadows got darker instantly

[still stirrup]

i also use reaper's realistic LUT's!

[torn nimbus]

Yeah sorry that was actually the one in the screenshot, reapers real blue v1, didn't know he hat more!

Will have to check those out

[still stirrup]

oh yeah, those shadows look much better

[torn nimbus]

this is with reaper real blue v1

[still stirrup]

his lut's are great, it looks good on your city :D

seems like you got the graphical settings on par

[torn nimbus]

This is Real Neutral Colorless with some good modified Relight settings

vibrant looks pretty good too

but I need to tweak relight settings a bit more for that

How does your Post Process FX window look like?

Do you use both?

was kinda nice to overlay two layers of Ambient Occlusion lol

[still stirrup]

gah damn

yeah that looks really nice

when ppl ask for graphical settings ill just refer to your screenshots

[still stirrup]

i do have pp fx

i can show you when im back on the game, sometime later today i think?

[torn nimbus]

they don't overlap anymore 😛

[still stirrup]

someone just commented on my insta that theyre willing to pay for my graphical settings

[still stirrup]

ill send you everything tonight (i hope)

[torn nimbus]

Haha! I bet that is because there's so many that refuse to share settings for some reason

[torn nimbus]

Thank you

[still stirrup]

i gotta admit, as content creators for cs there is that aspect of "ive spent so long doing these settings so its mine and mine only"

i know one cs youtuber really hates sharing settings

maybe i can put a guide and step by step tutorial on how to get my settings on patreon, im hoping to monetize my content in the summer anyways

uni isnt gonna pay for itself

[torn nimbus]

Yeah

One of those buy me a cup of coffee setups could be nice 🙂

And a thorough walkthrough I'm sure many would appreciate that

Or on gumroad with the pay what you want could help too

Forgot to enable Ultimate LOD

[still stirrup]

thats true!

[still stirrup]

that looks good!

bro you should have your own thread on cs too if you dont have one showcasing this!

people would definitely love looking at this bc

this looks really really clean

[torn nimbus]

Thank you 🙂 I might do that eventually

[still stirrup]

its nice to have a little community while showcasing your builds

[torn nimbus]

I'm going to try and fix a custom LUT and get this look as well, might have to do a custom theme for it too.

[still stirrup]

its how i became a better builder overall

[still stirrup]

oooo

now thats going to look good

[torn nimbus]

yeah I love how vibrant the grass is here during summer, and the air makes everything look so extra clean and clear

[still stirrup]

have you ever tried this out?:

https://reshade.me/

[torn nimbus]

The map I made looks pretty good with these settings though

[torn nimbus]

barely, not in CS

I played with it in GTA some

[still stirrup]

im not really good at finnicking around with reshade, but some settings are pretty good for the ingame, like clarity

theres also colourfulness

which makes the game more vibrant

good for playing, not as good for screenshots

[torn nimbus]

Ah nice

Maybe I will give it a shot eventually

Tweaking all these things are pretty fun 😄

Oh man! Sorry for posting so many photos in your thread about Tokyo! I've been in DM mode

[still stirrup]

😂no problem man

I’ll be posting about Tokyo soon anyways

[hazy heron]

update on tokyo: postponed until resolved issues

(colossal order has noted there are bug with the new update, and its affecting mods)

[magic ledge]

Hey bro

Are u gonna make the nakameguro river

Search it up

[still stirrup]

yes but thats a bit far down the road

i cant even play right now due to issues

[magic ledge]

Is this your alt 💀

[still stirrup]

yes

[hot lintel]

You could also fool around in the theme mixer to get that

I’m trying to get the same look as well, trying lots of different things, but I do wanna test out reshade as well as I hadn’t thought of that.

[torn nimbus]

Yeah I did that with one of my earlier maps, but I'm a sucker for less hassle for people hehe, so I'm probably going to make a custom theme with fully custom textures

[winter copper]

Wut the - I'm from Manitoba loool

[hazy heron]

Manitoba homie 🤝🤝

[winter copper]

It's funny though

I'm in Nippon right now

[hazy heron]

Sheesh that must be nice

Yep

[winter copper]

[junior bolt]

Huston, we have a problem...

[winter copper]

You'll get the chance - I'll be here waiting for ya fellow Manitoban

[hazy heron]

man how is living in japan it must be so nice

[winter copper]

It has its ups and downs I'm not going to lie

[hazy heron]

what are the pros and cons?

[winter copper]

Con is that Transportation is expensive

Pro is that food is cheap

Everything is tight as well

Places are walkeable

But you got to deal with crowds

[hazy heron]

total opposite here

[winter copper]

I know, imagine walking to Superstore loool

[hazy heron]

must be nice not having to drive everywhere even to things within the damn neighbourhood lmaoo

even u of m is so spread out imo

[winter copper]

I got lucky since my parents house was within walking distance to the McPhillips superstore but without proper sidewalks it's one hell of a struggle

Lol I miss U of M

There's a language exchange that runs in campus for Japanese students and students like you

[hazy heron]

ooh so the north end

[winter copper]

Highly recommend

[hazy heron]

DUDE

i wanted to do the japanese program!!

I had to stop my Japanese classes for those

[hazy heron]

[hazy heron]

did you have leanne for ecology?

[winter copper]

No I had Leanne for Studio actually

[green shoal]

wanna hop on vc?

[hazy heron]

aight

[stoic apex]

good work as always man! keep it up :)

[shrewd raft]

what are your settings for the graphics mods?

trying to copy your graphics settings because it looks gorgeous

oh dear I read through some of your messages from searching looks really complicated to replicate

[magic ledge]

Still haven't built my house

[late glen]

question @hazy heron : how do you place roads? OSM import doesn't work with these big cities for me, so just image overlay and manually place roads?

[hazy heron]

Rip

[hazy heron]

I use Google earth and the topography to determine where the roads go. I don’t overlay, I go off of infrastructure, water ways, etc, to navigate where I place my roads and such. When roads line up with Google earth, not by overlays but again by the water and buildings and such, I can accurately place roads

And this

[shrewd raft]

Do you mind posting screenshots of your graphics mods settings? I know you said you use spring wood LUT (?) or is it realistic final by reaper now

I’m trying to copy your visual look since it’s great and I’ll try my best off of your screenshots but I might ask for help 😅

[hazy heron]

I’m going to make a tutorial about getting my exact settings eventually

[shrewd raft]

that would be amazing, your colors just pop and are so vibrant I love it

do you know how soon you're thinking? i.e. within a few weeks, at least a month away, don't know?

[hazy heron]

Maybe this weekend? I’m planning to a package type thing, where it includes a step by step on how to get my settings, the mods involved, + the mods involved to build like I do + specifications on pc tips, what I have, what assets to get for a Japanese build, tips I have for building, etc etc

[shrewd raft]

Oh absolutely would love, way sooner than I imagined! I'm new to City Skylines so a lot of it is confusing to me but I'm sure step by step on your how you set your settings, colors, percentages, and the mods involved for the visual graphics from LUT, skies/clouds, relight, eyecandy, etc. would be great yes! And of course, a section on mods that help you build, pc tips, and assets are great too. Maybe separate the assets/tips for building/building mods from the visual mods into 2 separate videos would be good too

[hazy heron]

The format I’ll be doing is screenshot type guide with links involved, don’t worry I’m going to make it as simple as possible for beginners 👌

[shrewd raft]

Wonderful, I can't wait to read through it! Tysm in advance!

[hazy heron]

Yeah no problem :)

[wide topaz]

damn

[hazy heron]

dayum

[shrewd raft]

go ahead and ping me when you post it because I'm for sure gonna follow :))
Also side note the trees you use, the pink purple deep maroon etc. are so pretty!

[still stirrup]

[hazy heron]

ill do that when i have the time to do so, i want to do youtube in a month or so

[bronze hawk]

Nice

I wish you could do multiplayer I could help you make a city not the best but wanna get into it

If you plan on making another I’m learning to model and could help you with models

[hazy heron]

do you have a good pc? its essential to making cities like i do

[hazy heron]

another city? As of right now im just doing tokyo but damn yeah modelling would help out a ton!

[bronze hawk]

I’ll lyk when I think my modeling is good enough for your Tokyo 1:1 lol

If you do another I suggest Toronto

[hazy heron]

i could yeah

[bronze hawk]

Lol

[hazy heron]

but

idk if i have so much time in my life to do all these 1:1's

jk

but yeah

toronto could be cool

[bronze hawk]

Ik Ik

[hazy heron]

i want to focus on tokyo as for now

[bronze hawk]

Ye

I get that

[bronze hawk]

I’m just dropping this for if you do Toronto and for me to find it again

[magic ledge]

Yoo I have returned back to this thread

[wide topaz]

[hazy heron]

Innit

[hazy heron]

focusing on detailing a intersection, theres some mistakes but ill finish it up later

[hearty trail]

love the dedication to detail

[hazy heron]

Thanks homie :)

[hazy heron]

most simplistic japanese interchange

[hazy heron]

Area being built:

[jovial needle]

Nice

[hazy heron]

👌

[magic ledge]

bro japanese intersections are so friggin detailed

you dont even wanna know 😭

[winter copper]

i just noticed

you're not using the intersection marking tool? 😛

[hazy heron]

I knowwww

[hazy heron]

Not for these intersections, wayy to complex for it. Would rather just do it manually ahah

[fervent escarp]

You're using the Kaminogi roads?

[hearty trail]

[hazy heron]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836286618 + MSE highways

[fervent escarp]

I see, they look great!

[hearty trail]

@ancient field tokyo for ya

[ancient field]

Wow

[hearty trail]

Guy has built Miami and Santa Monica before Tokyo!

[ancient field]

I'll see this later

[hazy heron]

*DTLA and Santa Monica :)

[hearty trail]

Whats DTLA?

DT is downtown?

🙈

[hazy heron]

Downtown Los Angeles yes

[hearty trail]

Oh hmm who was the guy that did Miami then 🤔

[hazy heron]

My friend tommytupup

[hearty trail]

Ahh! He should make a thread here as well haha

[hazy heron]

(Topup_cs_gaming)

He hasn’t done miami in a while, he’s going to start a japan one like me actually

I think it’s Kobe he’s going to do

[hearty trail]

😮

[hazy heron]

That or Oslo Norway but last time I talked to him he was pretty adamant on Kobe

[hearty trail]

I see both of your YT channels are quite dead

[hazy heron]

Ahaha

I wish I had to the time and skill to make YouTube videos

I have 2 more weeks of uni

[hearty trail]

The time is a valid issue

The skill isnt 😆

[hazy heron]

I want to make my videos entertaining, not just Timelapse’s

[hearty trail]

Ur flyover videos (2) were very good :)

Oh i see!

Well i enjoy both :)

But i can see how that gets time consuming. Tried it myself

[hazy heron]

Anyone can record Timelapse and building, the real issue is making it actually interesting 😂

Who knows

[hearty trail]

My issue was motivation and time

But yh i get what you mean

Hope that turns out nice for you and that you succeed in Uni

[hazy heron]

Yeah motivation can be a huge issue, especially if you spend countless hours only for things not to turn out how you want

[hazy heron]

Thank you:)

[hearty trail]

@echo garnet its here :)

[echo garnet]

i know

[shadow oriole]

Just add random characters to your city like Two Dollars Twenty lol

[hazy heron]

Perfect

Ahaha

[hearty trail]

[pallid dawn]

WOAH

[hazy heron]

[hazy heron]

256 is just overkill
