Creating Scenic Waterfalls in Cities Skylines 2

[@davaipokeda]

this is the best city in cs 2 so far

[@imperatur]

Thanks man!:)

[@jamesswords6425]

So a true story.. Niagara now has rules about high rises near the downtown and falls. The falls used to be much more visible with less mist. High rises developed near the downtown changed some of the surface wind patterns and created more mist in front of the falls. There's also a tourist ferry called Maid of the Mist that will take you all the way up to the falls.

[@CharlesSnyder-u9d]

Yes! I live about an hour from Niagara Falls, and live kind of by Buffalo which is where Niagara Falls is

[@imperatur]

Ohh okay that’s crazy

[@davidmcarthur2776]

But yet, 3 more towers going up on the Loretto property, 2 more on old portage on the old hydro property. another tower near clifton hill (if not two actually), also the good ol' eyesore should be started again in the next year or so... plus one more on robinson lol...... Should be interesting to see how it will not change anything. Niagara Parks isnt going to build anything of a sort on their property... oh wait, the old toronto hydro building will be a "5 star" hotel lol..

[@andrealorenzi453]

Been there and done the Maid of the Mist ferry tour. Amazing!!!!

[@devonlawrence7441]

ppl always think there's a fire and it doesnt help that some random building nearby is almost always also on fire

[@olafmesschendorp147]

The before and after of this one is truly unbelievable!

[@imperatur]

[@0201lemmob]

das ist wirklich unglaublich. Man kann gar nicht wegschauen. Ich hätte weder die Kreativität, noch die Geduld, so etwas zu bauen.

[@MrSpotface]

This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen done in this game. Bravo Sir!

[@trainformerd4134]

Bros an artist at this point 😱😱🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@vincent06]

0:18 Thanks for adding it back :)

[@imperatur]

You‘re welcome😂

[@brustavez]

Really incredible - the city is coming along beautifully and it’s been wonderful listening to you speak and talk about why you do what you do!

[@imperatur]

Awww thanks man!:)

[@desto13c]

The most stunning build I've seen. Amazing work!

[@imperatur]

Thanks buddy:)

[@MikMoen]

You probably had no idea but you inadvertently basically recreated the River in Spokane, Washington, USA. I immediately thought of that when I saw the thumbnail. Thought the Spokane River is more rapids than actual waterfalls.

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

Nah Niagara Falls looks just like what he did. Look at it on Google Maps it looks almost identical

[@martincurrie6243]

I saw you do it, but I still can't believe the result. Bravo!

[@horsthellmann7337]

Du zeigst auf erstaunliche Weise was mit diesem Spiel möglich ist, und über was für ein Talent du verfügst, Hut ab, das ist High Class.

[@Mogswamp]

24:26 "work with the terrain and do not make everything superflat" This is going to be harder than I thought :(

[@Jocraft2039]

Well if you spend 10 years in superflat :)

[@itching2play732]

This is craaaazy good. I've never seen a CS build reach this quality before!!

[@aboyd1988]

Very creative use of objects. In the beginning of the video, I didn't realize the white water lines were just painted. It truly fooled my eyes into believing there was movement. Wouldn't it be great if they would add animated textures for this sort of enhancement?

[@erikw1251]

What else can be said than wow, the creativity is amazing. I visited the Victoria Falls this spring and the way you detailed the islands and rapids up top is very reminiscing of what I saw in person. Incredibly realistic. Take a bow

[@pauldykstra7306]

I felt like I was in a drone flying over that waterfall! That looks so good!

[@tigonologdring9189]

Magnificent! You're inspiration for the chimneys probably came from DirtyH's (aka DH) Rio Paolo build's waterfall. But using ElGendo's wter surfaces and Sully's decals the combo is superb! Bravo!

[@TeddyRadko]

Epic build. This series so far has been bangers all the way through. Keep up the great work! Can't wait until you figure out how to make realistic custom airports so that i can learn and copy. ;)

[@shakestylz2823]

Man, I could watch you build all day 😅. AWESOME waterfall!

[@imperatur]

Thanks!:)

[@enersoja-jaso6847]

Habe auch schon versucht einen Wasserfall zu realisieren, aber habe meine ganze Stadt dabei unter Wasser gesetzt xD Sieht wirklich Klasse aus!

[@Incogneto1981]

You, my friend, are an absolute GENIUS!!! Biffa needs to see this!

[@fjallrav21]

Rio Paulo series used chimney for the waterfall. Nice job!

[@Vydru23]

Nice build, looks like you got a lot of inspiration from DH’s build

[@jooji_gaming]

I love this series. I was so impressed with the baseball stadium and then you go and do this!

[@imperatur]

The baseball stadium is still may favorite build to this day probably:D

[@missym877]

Wow you are so talented. This was an amazing build. I hope someone from CS sees this and it inspires them to release a nature pack. I think a pack where we can build natural waterfalls, canyons, rapids, beaches (with proper waves/surfers, whale/dolphin sightings, coral reefs) safaris/savannahs, would really be cool and make the worlds feel so much richer.

[@WELVAS.]

Great job! Definitely one of the best CS2 builders

[@RUINERx117]

Probably the coolest thing I've seen built in CS2

[@martewi]

8:32 That's actually brilliant idea!!

[@JaCrispy3060]

Yeup this episode is one for the detailers. This cinematic at 27:12 at the end is absolutely great by the way. You ought to do more flying city wide cinematics at the end of these episodes to really tie the newest build into the rest of the city. I didn't even really realize the area was that hilly.

[@mausebiker123]

I love how you build on the hilly terrain! Also for the streetcars take some inspiration from San Francisco, they go uphill there so here you can build them too!

[@LokoDennisTR]

I hope you can keep up the motivation and inspiration, cause I really want to see how this city will develop in the future. A very nice build you are doing.

[@sargentthiccboi9333]

Remember the old city builder games where it was all pixels. It’s insane to see where the genre when

[@gabrielpedroarini]

Increíble, he quedado sin palabras. Excelente trabajo.

[@WeiderMystic]

this should be listed under ASMR. Nice.

[@Qualiall1]

woo! I actually live in Niagara Falls, NY-good to see it represented here a bit!

[@CitiesInRetro]

Love the series! I live by niagra falls and this is super similar

[@josebaez7116]

Stunning. That’s a lot of patience!

The idea with the chimney smoke comes from dirty h right? He used this technique in his Rio series. :) Anyway it looks great, another very beautiful creation. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@hannawilkens1125]

Do you if DH is still active? He has not uploaded in quite a while.

[@jasper329]

@@hannawilkens1125he is taking a break to deal with some personal stuff and will return soon.

[@imperatur]

Yes true:)

[@shennyboi110]

Absolutely incredible build!

[@priyadarsihalder9242]

After 7 month of hiatus you are finally back. Now I need to watch the videos I have missed.

[@honesto1212]

Are you kidding?? I was glad you choose the map I played to get some inspiration, but now it just shows daily my missing talent. This time on another level :D But steal and learn I guess, fantastic build!

[@MrMolova]

Ridiculous work. Seriously man, pat yourself on the back for this one. Upstream the river definitely "isnt capable of realisitically fuelling those falls and the dam" but blah blah. That is some stellar, stellar work

[@PartTimeMAYOR]

You are the Bob Ross of the C:C2 universe.

[@QemeH]

This entire waterfall area looks simply stunning. You absolutely outdid yourself on that one! (By the way: Did you ever get the hydroelectric dam to function properly? Or did you not have the time to try yet?)

[@bvkes9986]

17:20 as someone that lived and worked in the falls during college, ya, its a desolate wasteland these days.

[@rochelimit55555]

very inspiring build. love your accent too, reminds me of cooking with the dog

[@TheNudges]

Best CS2 city I've seen so far... it's incredible... I agree that the whole city feels a bit car-centric. I would definitely recommend removing some side-road parking space and replace them with dedicated bus lanes in the future :D Also, did you manage to make the dam functional from a couple episodes ago? I would LOVE an off-series video where you go back to what you've build and try to make it as functional as possible gameplay-wise!

[@conchilada]

Sieht überragend gut aus!! Du holst echt 300% aus der Alpha-Software raus! Das Game hat einfach so viele Schwächen. Warum sieht es so verdammt leer und tot aus? Wo sind die Autos, wo ist der Heavy Truck Traffic rein und raus aus Industrie (oder deinem Fall der riesige Hafen), wo sind die Touristenmassen bei dienen Imperatur Falls? Und Ich hasse die perfekt geraden Kanten und die aalglatten Texturen in dem Spiel. Dein Video ist der Beweis, wie unendlich viel Aufwand, Mods und Props/Decals es braucht, um die basegame ugliness zu verstecken. Da helfen auch die - zugegebenermaßen starken - Creator Packs nichts. Geb dem Spiel nach einem Jahr gerade nochmal eine Chance aber ich bin kurz davor, aufzugeben um auf C:S3 oder einen anderen würdigen C:S1 Nachfolger zu warten. Bis dahin schaue ich mir gute Content Creator wie dich an, die bereit sind, den Pain auf sich zu nehmen. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@imperatur]

Ja man da geb ich dir bei jedem punkt absolut recht!

[@PoplarPonderosa]

Amazing build! Now I don't have to make a Niagara map. I was dreading it. 😅 Loving this series.

[@wesleygowan4174]

Stunning! Amazing! You are the king!! 👑

[@imperatur]

Aww thanks man:)

[@asdf26110]

Nice Vid! Maybe you can do a little suburban area on the other side of the canal it would be nice if you turned down the density of your city a little bit.

[@imperatur]

Yes there will be definitely some low density developments

[@nxghthrra]

Amazing looking waterfall!

[@benjaminfurstenberger1388]

wow, sieht echt gut aus. Welche Lumina Settings verwendest du?

[@bbukkegayo]

...if only there was a mod that added a new "water source" that was specifically designed to be spawned in a location where you'd want a waterfall or rapids (i.e. the ability to change the flow rate and angle). I'm sure it could repurpose the "smokestack" stuff in-game to emulate mist.

[@rd9102]

Absolutely incredible.

[@blanco7726]

Reminds me of Spokane, WA

[@doggowhisperer6844]

Listening to imperatur narrate, am I the only one who thinks of Liam Carpenter’s German alter ego?

[@SamuelXD_Youtube]

You're a pretty chill guy 🗿

[@florentpeyredieu4683]

Really Beautiful..... what type of texture do you use? for floors, earth, concrete, etc.? thank you.

[@joanmartinezamigo3345]

Majestuoso. Tu si que vales.👌👌👌

[@overthecounterbeanie]

Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

[@Nicolai05Haas]

Mit Abstand die besten CS2 Videos! Ich versuche gerade eine möglichst realistische europäische/deutsche Stadt zu erstellen, aber mir fängt der Anfang schwer. Würde gerne mit der Altstadt anfangen… Hast du hierfür Tipps?

[@muslimmasud2908]

waterfalls modify terrain... wow.. okeeeee lets go

[@Pentagon73637]

Just dope 👏

[@_jiba_]

You got a like just for the return of "fun fair guy"!

[@AndyDakin]

Beautiful. And very clever.

[@christophersuhr4868]

imperatur and city planner plays happens when

[@WeyounSix]

I saw this when u posted to reddit it was cool af

[@stephenmerrill6728]

Absolute beautiful work!

[@AaronReed-k7n]

This is insane lol. He is the GOAT

[@imperatur]

Awww ❤️

[@LeksaFlamme]

Hi! Why didn't you use Line Tools to plase rocks? Your videos is awesome, i like you

[@Pacey-j7x]

Looks Like the real one

[@kanwarsingh3849]

This is hands down the best city in CS2, I've seen being built But I have one question, wouldn't it be pretty noisy living next to a waterfall?

[@miamianz]

Amazing nothing else to say .

[@AthrunX23s]

You should build another, shorter ped bridge across the other waterfall's dropoff to force foot traffic through the middle island.

[@jimhearsonwriter]

It's been an education - until now, I've pronounced your name as Im-pair-a-tour, rather than Imp-a-rar-ter. Every day's a school day!

[@SammoWolvezz]

Thanks for the link to the map, have you got a modlist?

[@shlomiA]

Damn man, that is crazy

[@psv-7071]

Just crazy

[@gmach1981]

this is incredible

[@phj223]

The waterfalls are beautiful, but my PC went nuclear just watching them on YT. 😮

[@翟翟-u3d]

chimney!! Very talented!!!

[@djvic4u]

Hi Imperatur! I'm wondering what kind of PC specs you have to run CS2 this smoothly. I Have a PC too but I'm looking to upgrade

[@Wasbever_14]

This looks AMAZING

[@imperatur]

Thanks bro:)

[@someguy-ux7yk]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏AMAZING!

[@imperatur]

THAAANKS:)

[@goldenplays5512]

Loving the series but for the next tile can you do the one next to the one where you started

[@imperatur]

Yeah maybe:)

[@PrinceSiyam-io5eh]

Bro thiis is insane

[@Deepcover999]

Amazing build!

[@Pacey-j7x]

Maybe built for the next Video a Plattenbausiedlung

[@imperatur]

I built one in the last episode:D

[@goldmoon5867]

Thank you for watching the video. Thank you. What do you use for the texture theme of the floor? Please tell me the title of the theme

[@razernotfound]

Mom can we go to niagara falls Mom - we already have niagara falls in cs2 niagara falls at cs2 be like

[@itiswhatitis1306]

You need to turn your whitewash effects around. The hydrology is messing with me lol the whitewash should be going towards the waterfall not as if the water is flowing up the waterfall

[@JenMaxon]

Very nicely done

[@HAWX34]

well, if you look at ny, you will notice than manhattan is built on a big flat island, i presonnaly think that building on flat terrain isn't a bad thing if you use it well

[@BorisRomagna]

Just wow!

[@TheEggedEgg]

so beetiful!

[@HD-Gaming]

Looks great

[@sebrohlf38]

Kannst du mal deine mod liste zeigen?

[@tjc6901]

How are you deleting those trees in bulk with the brush in the beginning of the video? I cannot do that in my game..
