Good start! In most of my cities I start with a river and then a park or something along the water. I like it!

is the skyline going to stretch to both sides of the river? it'd be cool to see some bridges going on eventually. :tup:

Your Welcome! Heres what I mean.

You live in Texas, I LOVE Texas Cities, well mostly Dallas and Houston. Both cities have massive 900 foot skyscrapers. Both cities have a very smexy skyline, almost completly with modern buildings.

So go crazy! Putting a 900 foot tower in Trinity City would be realalistic, as it could be an Oil/Gas Tower, those companies rule Texas. Your city needs more creativity, so add some supertalls! :yes:

Houston personally is one of my favorite cities, If I hadent done Staunton, I would have had a Los Angeles - Houston - Dallas Styled City.

The Skyline never ends!

yes I will definiatly add some supertalls.How do you make your own textures? Do you take the picture? I Agree Amazing Textures are really commen now and I want some new textures.
Can I make a modeling Request? You ought to do the 777 Building in L.A., If you havent already:)

Jul 22, 2007, 6:52 AM
oo lala, lookin' pretty nice :cool: looking forward to the bridge. i do have one tip, and that is to keep something soft like a stuffed animal nearbye, this is because you WILL get VERY frusterated at times and need to release it on something. better that than your computer.

the city looks great austin and that street view was very cool. the bridge looks good, for a 3-minute bridge. i'm sure you're not done with it but it does need a lot of work. a suggestion, the rectangle designed cable supports are interesting, but would be better with an "X" design in the center to support themselfs. just a suggestion though. keep it up. :)
