Making Buildings Look Good in SimCity 3000
Author: Aaron Otta Date: Saturday, May 25 2002 Many first-time architects wonder what they're doing wrong when their building looks great in the Building Architect but awful in SimCity 3000. When you make a building in the Building Architect, you MUST keep in mind how it will eventually look in SimCity 3000, no matter how strange or weird they look in the Building Architect. Some ways to do this are to accentuate or even exagerate any details or features you want to stand out more. A good way of previewing your building is to press "Save as" and view your building in the preview pane. The picture gives who a pretty acurate view, though not to scale, of what your building will look like, rendered. Also take in mind that certain textures may not show up as well or be as well constrasted when the building is rendered. So, be sure that you choose textures that are not similar in color, hue, or luminance, as they will look indiscernable to each other once in SimCity 3000. |
