Thats got to be the most amazing city to come out of sketch-up in a while. The detail is awesome. I especially love that toll both, the bridge, monorail, and all those trees.
Awesome job! Keep the updates coming!

Holy wow! That is an awesomesauce start! It's funny how coincedental this is, lol. Huntington's original name was Alton, and I planned on making a monorail system, but I found that I incredibly sucked at it, lol.
Great start! Hope to see more!

treras, fantastic start!! There are so many unique things in your city. First time I have seen a monorail, toll booth, or swimming pool (with people at least) here. Good job on that parking garage. There are quite a few stunning building designs from what you showed. I am looking forward to seeing more of this one.

great idea!!! make a childrens museum! You should draw your buildings on paper and then model them. I do that and I almost have 3 full drwaing pads each with 80 sheets plus loose paper i draw on.

Dac150
Aug 14, 2007, 4:41 AM
Wow, that city hall is quite tall. An interesting design though.
I would suggest making a more traditional city hall though. It'll look better (IMO) in a city like this. And by traditional I mean shorter with columns, and along those lines. But it's up to you.

Dac150
Aug 14, 2007, 9:39 PM
No, do not. The bridge is fine. The towers of the Golden Gate Bridge are over 700 feet high. That is perfectly reasonable.
I am just stunned on that bridge. I have never see a better sketch-up bridge before. Great work!
