Currently taking some time doing some infrastructure and creating some more SoCal models. These three screenshots of Primrose suburbs will have to do for now. This area will be included in the next episode of cinematics of the southern suburbs.





 
Filling in some blanks for next episode. One of them was around a station which turned out to be a modern development with the tracks covered by a natural roof. Still W.I.P.







I have also been working on the colors a bit. With some help from Pres I'm more satisfied with the result. Always find color and light settings hard and I am never really satisfied, but this is better (i think

There's quite a bit of transportation focus in Emory Hills. Unnatural since it is US west coast base, but natural for me since it's my profession. I'll justify it by saying this is a more "modern" and developed version of a west coast city in that regards.















 
The second, and last, part of the southern suburbs is out, check out 12 minutes of awesome cinematics!

And if you like it, make sure to subscribe as there is a lot more to come from this series.

 
Starting to work a bit on some of the downtown areas. First up is the part which is now a gap towards the southern finished suburbs. This includes a partly covered metro station and a bus terminal with direct access to the highway:





 
Working on Belmont, a seaside district just north of downtown. Redevelopments have made the area quite exclusive. The rail corridor leading to one the city's two intercity terminals has been covered to bridge the gap with a park. Close to it is also Belmont marina with it's seaside villas.

This is up soon as next episode as well as releasing the "floating" trees used that some has requested.







 
Turns out the build got a bit bigger than I originally had planned. That means the Marina part was left out of this one, but fear not, that is up next and has been extended.

This is Belmont Park, covering the rail corridor:
 
It's been a while since there were some progress pictures, so here we go!

Last episode featured Belmont Marina, which is small waterside neighborhood.







Overview of the central parts of Emory Hills. There is still a lot of work to do close to downtown. The area I am working in right now can be seen in the lower left.



And oh will the isles be cool, it is really fun to work with! Inspiration from Fort Lauderdale and some other places.











This development will most likely be split in at least two episodes, and should be really good

Until then!
 
All parts of Belmont Keys is done, and I have started to work on the surrounding areas as well as some more modelling work.

Enjoy some pictures of the area!













Next entry will probably be next episode for the beach build. Until then!
