Firstly, thank you all for your kind reception of this tut. Im happy if my work makes someones artistic endeavor easier. Next I would like to thank my wife for sticking by me all these arduous yearsj/k! ;) Really, thank you all you are most kind. Well, I could not just turn away feeling like Ive left a job half finished so I decided to go back and leave it one quarter unfinished by doing a little extra work on the building texture and allowing you to see the improvement. Still, more work can certainly only bring about more improvement.

At the top of the image is a reduced resolution of a new texture I have put together for this project. The original resolution is 1468x242 here reduced to 800x132. Obviously some of the darker and shadow areas can be improved by either eliminating them altogether or filling in those areas with more detail. I also added a little more detail with roughed in streets and sidewalks and present different viewing angles. Well, you can always put in an extra Empire State or Chrysler building in there somewhere. 0_o
