    Default City Madness

    This is a wireframe of a bit of a city I'm mapping for a commission.

    I've got to the stage of multiple crashes, redraws that can take up to half an hour....

    The joys of vector.

    That's gonna be bloody amazing when it's done! Assuming you don't kill yourself headbutting your desk in frustration first...

    Real madness! And it looks like it is just a quarter of it. I hope you can get it finished without any bad crashes.

    Fortunately the rest of the city is not so dense! I'll ask the guy I'm doing it for whether he minds me posting WIPs here.

    @ Devin: I'm using Serif Drawplus X4. Unfortunately parts of it still haven't been recoded to take advantage of quad core processing, so that's what tends to take the longest time. Even loading the thing takes about 2 minutes now (sigh).

    Ravs - what you need is a pillow for your forehead - just in case.
