Nice city gone bad?  Well, not like total and absolute freedom couldn't be
somewhat constrained (censored).  The images I've seen of the project showed
promise.

I guess in keeping with realism such a place would have every form of
civilization, culture, and anarchy.  Which, as a rendered conglomerate,
could be rather interesting.  Only that if it were not policed and
politicked it wouldn't look anything but a mess  :-)

Ah, so that's where I made this post. I'm moving my discussion to
povray.general, but you can (obviously!) continue your own stuff here.
(Like a little upstart like me could stop you two!)

Definately 1m=1 unit

Well, It realy depends on how big the city is going to be.It could be a
real pain to design when you have to worry about detail all the time.

How can you make holes in objects ?? I dont quite understand
differencing.  :(

Would it be possible to have smaller or larger plots ?  or is it just
too difficult because of the roads ?and are you going to have main roads
? or is the whole thing going to be just one big square boring grid !?

If 2 are the same just rename one with a 2 or however many of them there
are eg,brick.gif
brick2.gif
brick3.gif

And you would also have to change the texture to the new name in the pov
file.



Also, are you going to test them all out to check weather they are good
enough.
The city could look bad if there are some realy detailed plots and some
realy basic ones.
