I've uploaded a seventh revision.

http://code.google.com/p/datsville/

I decided that some of the buildings I made were simply to large, so I made
smaller versions. There's also a new tree model and a radio tower (which needs
to get moved to somewhere better).

I'm no longer able to render the whole town at once in POV-Ray as I have too
little RAM in my computer. I need to come up with an alternate method of
creating town maps. :( Too bad LDView doesn't support orthographic projection;
otherwise I would start using *it* instead.

I also think it would be nice to use the SNOT roads found here:

However, I don't think the distribution license is compatible.

I've been experimenting with Mike Gallagher's SNOT roads and sent him in email
asking if he would be willing to license them under the Creative Commons or
Public Domain. Here is how things look right now.

I definitely think it's an improvement. The town looks more lived-in with the
new roads. I did have to move several buildings though since they no longer fit
where they were positioned originally. I also took the opportunity to expand the
shopping center so that it fit in its new slot.

That looks nice.

But it is also a challenge to the "home owners".  Now I feel I have to
think about how to integrate my houses better with the new streets;
adding paths, driveways with ramps, and other details.

Play well,

Jacob

The same author also created a series of examples of driveways and ramps, though
I haven't used any yet.

I received a reply from Mike G. and he said that we could use his models, and
that he would update all his models with a compatible software license.

You can see in the image below that SNOT roads create a lot more options when it
comes to designing road markings, stripes, and so forth. It's a lot more obvious
now that there are one-way streets in the center of town.
