Am I the only person who doesn't ever use the control key while building?

So no, not a stupid rookie question.

^Yeah, ya noob. Go build.

I find myself having to take alot more time to properly locate a piece using the whole control key thing. Most of the time, i just elevate the land to a moderate height, build whatever i want, then lower it and fill in the rest as i go. But i think i have alot of patience with height issues, and most of the time when i build something changing the land, its because its ridiculous land changes, like building a castle on top of a mountain and such. heh

FK

You're doing it right Mattk48, so i'm not sure what's going wrong.

shift to elevate.

Control to keep at the same height.

I also use them together.

It's a fiddle at the beginning, but you'll get used to it after a while.

Uomo universale!

The fucked up colours ruin that screen for me.

The pretzel's (i'm assuming it's a pretzel) location is really nice. I don't like the use of road lines as fences, never liked them when robbie did them, it's just the completely wrong texture for a fence in my eyes.

I also think the Parachutes could have been done more realistic. The tower is perfect, but the parachutes themselves just aren't great.

Nice rockwork too.

oh. thats an amazing theme. if it is what i'm thinking.

I don't know what the theme is but I quite like the screen. I like your work best when it's clean. I hope you find a way to do big themes in a clean way.

the parachutes are meant to be this way because of the theme..

And yeah win7 paint hates me and fucks the colours everytime I use paint, but don't know what else to do with them to edit, can't photoshop tbh

On the fence issue that Louis pointed out: Wouldn't it make more sense to use less modern-looking fences?
Also the flag is probably quite anachronistic?

I'm with Wicksteed, if that theme is what I think then that is just a great idea

BG, doesn't win 7 have windows live photo gallery?

I always use that one to edit pics.

you mean for the black ones or the curved ones?

the black ones are simply painted metalwork

I'm pretty sure when you use paint it depends on what type of file you save your images as. For me, saving as .PNG alters the colors, so I have to save them as .JPEG

i meant the curved ones.

Some previews:

"Project Park":






"Project WildCat":

Two different projects, three different locations but on every screen the same colors?

Saving as .png is the only way paint doesn't change the colours for me :/

Reminds me of RCFanB&M or whatever he was called

Try to save the file as a 24-bit .bmp
That's what works with me.
