I thought the last update said they were adding previews before you buy something? Anyway I’d love to see this lobby before I buy but this preview is so damn small. I can’t find images online. Thanks for any help!

Hey, so I have noticed that one of my Tiny Tower friends (who I do not know IRL) has started naming their floors using song lyrics. Last week they had a black theme going and the floors were the Rolling Stones "Paint it black" - each floor = 1 word.

Well this week I noticed they chose a somewhat obscure 'Til Tuesday song, and I wanted to let them know I noticed and am also a fan of Til Tuesday, and Aimee Mann.

So their name (or at least lobby name) is AQUAMARINE. I have been trying my best to get their attention. So far I have:

changed all my Bitizens to the same costume AQUAMARINE is using. I wrote on my floors, one at a time "Hey Aquamarine I Like Til Tuesday too! Im a big Aimee Mann fans well. Please respond somehow if you see this please. I Think My favorite Til Tuesday song Might be The other end of the telescope or possibly limits to love, but Coming Up Close is a solid choice" Then I just name all my other floors alternatingly Aquamarine Hey Aquamarine Hey Aquamarine Hey Aquamarine Hey." Finally I sent them a Bitizen dressed as them.

Well, today they sent me back a Bitizen named "Til Tuesday! So it worked! I'm so happy. My fingers are numb from typing AQUAMARINE on 200 floors, but I love that they noticed. And now I can finally rebuild my tower.

so I have my ground plain, and I used sculpt to add some hills. I projected the spline, which worked, but when I sweep the road you can see the road is flat, and does not flow on the surface, it cuts into the landscape on turns as the road banks so you don't even see one of the lanes. What's the best workflow to avoid this?

Thanks!

so obviously you can see the problem here... the grass is sticking up through the road. I have the grass growing using a matrix scatter object using the ground plane, and I would love to be able to somehow add a shader(? maybe) or something that uses the geometry from my road to either tell the matrix object to not add particles there, or at least set their scale to zero. Not sure if either way helps with render times. Since I would like to be able to change the road's path I'm hoping that would still be possible. The road is just a rectangle swept along a path. I tried using a selection tag but it came out blocky along the edges of the road since the ground plane is a grid.

Thanks for any help! I feel I'm getting closer.

Odds are I've set up my road in a ham-fisted way, but here's what I did, and here's what I'd like to fix.

I made my road by sweeping a 2 cm tall rectangle along a path.

I then made my gravel edges the same way, but with a wider rectangle at 1cm on the same path to create the gravel shoulder.

What I would love to do is roughen up the outer edge of my gravel so that it blends slightly more organically into the grass areas. Any ideas? Thanks!
