Thanks but I think Rocane will stay in the past. I'm already thinking of a new city, so I probably won't return to my older cities.

The textures are from Bing Maps bird's eye views. I've tried to use cities wich have the better quality images. It's also important to extract the facade from the sunny side, which has the better contrast. In the street level shots I've used textures made of Google Maps street view shots and recently I've also started to use CG Textures textures, but they're only good for ground level shots, not aerials (because most of the windows in the textures reflect sky, not the ground).

Looking over Church Park:
