Modular building test- it's a hell of a lot easier than designing an entire city block.

Woohoo! Arcos! ;7:yes:

Too bad they'll never work, as there will always be people like Ted Bundy around.

I assume that each one of those pill-shaped thingys is the modular part, and not that whole complex... ;)

Venom: Amen. :D

There are two types of sections, one with a connector and one without. Took about an hour to texture and model (mostly to texture, though the model's a lot more complex than shows here), and about ten minutes to set up, most of which was taken up fiddling with the terrain.

Very nice buildings.
And ten minutes for terrain like that?
What were you using to make it that quick?

Or is it stuff that's just second-nature now from so much use in the past?

The terrain generator helps a lot, as does the procedural engine.:D

Actually, that's not even a quarter of the whole thing. It's kinda fun to play with, and I guess I got carried away with seeing what the highest settings look like. It's scary.
