Wonderful work again. Only one remark. The city wall is not surrounding the city
completely which is a bit unusaul IMO. What is this structure to the right?
There seems to be a citadel to the upper left, a temple straight ahead but I
have no idea for the structure at the upper right.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Thomas,
Very impressive, are all the buildings generated by the macro or just the main
town buildings (I mean not the ones in the harbour).
Also, is the wall part of the macro?
Do all your close up scenes I have seen posted use this macro as well?

Thanks indeed Michael. This is only a partial view of the city. See
image for a total view of the state of the art.
To the left, is the Citadel indeed; to the right is the Old Palace, a
derelict structure that was the residence of the Satraps before the
Uprising of [...]. The Citadel is their residence hence forward.
The Old Palace is only outlined and not yet modelled properly.

Looking fantastic already... my only complaint about the town is that
the scale seems a bit too big respect to the port buildings.

Thanks Jaime.
No, the scale is exactly identical/proportional. Wait for a view at
ground level.

Only the houses forming the city blocks are generated by the macro.

No, the walls are built separately.

No again. The macro is has just been finished recently. The close up
scenes first showed a crude simulation of sprawling urbanism that only
looked believable from far away, then recently a first approximation of
city blocks modelled by hand but not really satisfying.
From now on, the macro will be used.

Hmmm... perhaps it's the windows size?

That may be possible indeed. I still have to tune the shapes. One side
effect of the macro (the random scaling) can make the windows a bit too
large in some cases. Also the black texture simulating the interior
contrasts too much and increases the effect probably.
