[Austin55]

Since peter dissapered I wanted to start a new one.

This is about a skyscraper complex,Think Rockefeller center or the WTC(R.I.P.). The location is anywhere you choose,Internationaly. Preferably an empty lot,or low density lot. The types of building Must have shopping and commercial offecs,but can include others.there should be atleast 3 buildings of decent Size i your comlex Textures and no textures are allowed.you Cannot enter a complex currently in your city,Dac couldnt enter his "Vast Skyscraper Development",but he could enter an edited version.ofcourse,you may use it afterwards.

If your IN please post so.
whos in so far

[Dac150]

When is the deadline?

[Austin55]

I havent set one yet,probably around Halloween?

[Dac150]

I havent set one yet,probably around Halloween?

Ok, that should be enough time.

[Dac150]

Austin- Have this moved to "Google Sketchup", due to the lack of attention it is getting here in cityscape.

[Austin55]

:) Everybody thank Kevin from Texas:)

[Dac150]

Thanks Kevin.:tup:

[Aleks]

If we enter a complex here we can still use it in our cities afterwards right?

[Austin55]

correct,but it cannot be currently in your city,Dac couldnt enter his "Vast Skyscraper Development",but he could enter an edited version.

[Dac150]

correct,but it cannot be currently in your city,Dac couldnt enter his "Vast Skyscraper Development",but he could enter an edited version.

Because you all know I would win.:D j/k:haha:

[Austin55]

probably.

silly question,but should I start this compitetion at SSC? we could do SSP VS SSC,but I dunno if it would fly with you guys.

[Dac150]

No, keep it here. I don't care much for SSC.

[Aleks]

Sure, Actually I have a complex somewhere around and it was going to go in my city soon. Hasn't yet though..

Can I enter it?

[Austin55]

ok,Screw SSC.

although it is funny,because

At SSP - At SSC
Mocholate-Piolo
Austin55-I hate Piolo:haha:

[Austin55]

Sure, Actually I have a complex somewhere around and it was going to go in my city soon. Hasn't yet though..

yep

[Dac150]

SSP is a lot more user-friendly than SSC. I feel they do a better job here at SSP, better than any other skyscraper forum. Just my opinion.

[Austin55]

:previous: by far,Im just a member for why the heck not reasons.

[Aleks]

Wow, th deadline is so far from now!

You should specify how many towers the complex should at least have. Maybe somebody wants to do a mall-ish complex (which I doubt) so maybe say something about if it's ok or not to do so.

[Dac150]

If its a complex, then it has to be more than one building. But it's your comp. austin.

[Austin55]

it is clearly stated in the rules

should be atleast 3 buildings of decent Size

this can include say,a tower connected to a podium would count for 2 building. the rules can be bent abit.

[Aleks]

O.K. I will probably have it ready by tomorrow or today who knows. Depends on what I have to do.

[Patrick]

Sure, I'll give it a shot.

[Aleks]

Umm... I was going to enter one already made but I decided to create a new one because I can't wait to add the complex I already have to my city.

[Austin55]

[QUOTE=Aleks0o01;3100109]Wow, th deadline is so far from now!

We can start early if Everbody finishes early.

DO NOT POST YOUR DESIGHNS YET!
Or somebody might copy you!

[verticalextropy]

I'm IN!

[Aleks]

I know I'm not.

Only because I want to challenge my self! I have one done and I don't want to just post some pic up. I wanna do something new.

[mikeR]

im in

[Mocholate]

:yes:

[Austin55]

A friendly reminder,the poll will start on saturday,october 30. If everyone curently "in"is finished,the polling may start early.

[Dac150]

I am working on it, but not close to done. I think you mean "Saturday October 27th."

[Mocholate]

same ere , i haven't even finished the main building ,my work gives me homework :(

[FlyersFan118]

I'll get in this, sounds like something interesting to do.

[Dac150]

I'll work on mine tomorrow afternoon. That's my free time. These last few weeks have been very busy for me.

[verticalextropy]

I'm buried in tests but I guess I'm beggining mine today - just recycling old ideas-

[Austin55]

:( im ful of test to

and,i possibly sprainedmy wrist,so i cant type.no su for me anytime soon:( :( :( :(

[Aleks]

O.K. I started but it's gonna be crappy because I have to do an actual skyscraper for science, a game for math, and a poster about Buddha in L.A. so I don't have much time. Plus I have a test tomorrow but I won't study for it, fuck it.

So it's a tower I already had but haven't showed, don't thinks many people will like it though. Oh, do I post my pictures here or pm them to you Austin?

[FlyersFan118]

can we include stadiums in our complexes? i've been meaning to make a soccer stadium since it's the only stadium i haven't done so far basically, and I think i've got something i like that i could include.

[Mocholate]

can we put it forward 1 week ?

[Austin55]

of course

everyone is full of tests and projects,so the date will be moved to the 2nd weekend in november,most likely.

3 day weekend!!
:banana:

Thanks, I could use the extra time.

Lucky you with a 3 day weekend. I could go for one of them.:yes:

[FlyersFan118]

thanks for the extra time, i'm pretty busy/stuck for ideas.

[FlyersFan118]

can we post pictures whenever or is there a set date? i finished my jawn.

[Austin55]

there is (sorta) a set date.

[Aleks]

O.K. I can't do this competition...I ran out of ideas for a complex. The one idea I have is way too hard to make and another one just seems stupid with only one tall building and the rest under 200 feet....Would that be Ok?

[Patrick]

Yeah, I've been busy, and have not layed down one plan. So Im possibly dropping out unless there is a new set date? Since many of us seem to be droppin out.

[Dac150]

I put something together last night (because I needed to take a break from hw, and relax my mind with something I enjoy). Can't say it's a WFC, but it'll do I guess.

[FlyersFan118]

I've got something that I don't think anyone else has done. It's not great, but it's something.


austin, can you give us a specific due date?

[Aleks]

He seems to be missing!!

Anyways, I finally have a design and I think it's nice so I will not drop out. But I just got the idea yesterday so I need time to finish the site, tower, etc...

[Dac150]

He seems to be missing!!

I know, its not like Austin to not type 500 posts a day.:haha: j/k

[Peter]

Hi guys,

i've been preoccupied so I havn't had a lot of time to modeling latley

that's changing though, and i might be posting more often
is it too late for me to enter this competition?

i havn't thought of any designs yet, but if it's okay i sure would like to enter something!

Good to hear from you Peter, its been a while.:cheers: Any chance of getting back to Otahita?:shrug:

[Peter]

Good to hear from you Peter, its been a while.:cheers: Any chance of getting back to Otahita?:shrug:
likewise Dac :cheers:

there are so many cities here in cityscape now. i love them. all of them.

no more city modeling for me though lol.

[Aleks]

Why aren't you modeling cities? Oh, nice to see your back!!

[Peter]

Why aren't you modeling cities? Oh, nice to see your back!!

hey alex :),

i find i become too involved with modeling cities and spend too much time on them. i can't do that anymore. i'm trying to come out of my shell and make some friends to be honest lol

[Mocholate]

:banana:

[Aleks]

Really? I'm trying to stay home so I can make models but my friends always force me to go somewhere.

Anyways, your at least going to enter this competition right?

[Dac150]

hey alex :),

i find i become too involved with modeling cities and spend too much time on them. i can't do that anymore.

I know what you mean. I am only allowing myself to model cities when I get breaks from college. I'm in one right now for Thanksgiving.

[Aleks]

O.K. I think I'll be finished with my entry today, but do I just post my entry here or p.m. it Austin? Hope you all don't drop out and finish soon.

Tips:
1.Just pick a location that way you don't design a square plaza, it can be from a S.U. city or a real city. When you have a location look at buildings around it so you can choose an architectural style that goes best with the complex and surroundings. Complexes are in big blocks compared to it's surroundings or in more than 2 blocks.
2.Choose a height that goes best with the design of complex and surroundings so you don't make something too tall or too short.
3.Try to add smaller buildings under 75 feet because complexes usually have malls, museums, etc...
4.Bridges are common in complexes so you might want one or two.
5.Hotels, Office, Retail, and residential are also common.
6.Small roads cross the complex usually.
7. Fountains and plazas will help your complex look nice and add color to the complex.
8. Grass, tree, flowers also add colors and make the complex environmentally friendly =).
9.Usually a complex has a tall structure which can be a monument, freestanding structure, or building.

Oh, it will help if you draw some buildings in paper and you can also be inspired by a real building. I know I was. You don't need all those things in a complex, I just posted them to help you peeps.

Edit:
Never mind I read it in the page before that I should post my complex here, I'll post my entry later today.

[Austin55]

so,yeah Im really busy,Im not even at home rightnow.

so it looks like were headed for another extension on the date,probably next week,I want this thing overwith by thaksgiving:slob:

Peter,nice to have ya back!

Patrick,you got no ideas? you gots a diagram,fantasy,of Liberty plaza or sumthin you could do:shrug:

Dac,your in,right?

Thanks Aleks:cool:

so,yeah,see ya later,Peace:cool:

[verticalextropy]

"1.Just pick a location that way you don't design a square plaza, it can be from a S.U. city or a real city"

But before the rule was that it had to be from a real city. So now we can just make it directly to our cities?

[Aleks]

I don't think it has to be a real city. We'll have to ask Austin he's the one who made the competition..

Well does it have to be a real city Austin? Because my complex was designed in some made up blocks, Also thanksgiving is far away right? So let's just make the deadline on the tenth or something like that.

[Dac150]

Yeah, I'm still in, but another extension to this (Friday?) would be good.

[verticalextropy]

yeah I'm just beggining, and i only have some sketches in [B]paper[B]

I guess my Full-Ammenities self-contained Hotel can be placed in many cities.

[Aleks]

Remember it has to have Office and retail in the complex. Just to let you know...that way you don't get disqualified.

[verticalextropy]

It's gonna be a full amenities hotels with as much office as lodging space (and for the same guests), and retail adjacent to the lobby.

[Austin55]

Remember it has to have Office and retail in the complex. Just to let you know...that way you don't get disqualified.

Im not that strict though:)

[verticalextropy]

I am doing a really big complex.
two 200m- towers (hotel + office) and a two lo rises (retail + ship terminal)
I am doing the complex in a real location, so once I export a .kmz how do I PLACE it in my desired location and not in Boulder COlorado.... It's causing me a headache

[Aleks]

What do you mean Vertical?
All you need is to open a S.U. file with your desired location, go to file, click on import, and choose your model.

After than just double click on your model twice to open the "model."
Move buildings around and you are done. Oh, you might want to right click on your model and on the small options window click on explode. That way it's easier to edit the model.

If that's not what you meant then sorry please explain again.

Anyways, I think we need a deadline set, or else it wouldn't be a competition. Let's make it soon but not too soon. How about Friday? I was going to post my design but I'll wait for the deadline date.

[verticalextropy]

I was meant to ask that as well: When is d deadline? Friday should be fine so we can check them during the weekend.

I meant how to PLACE a SU model on Google EARTH

Each time i import something there it opens only in boulder colorado campus >(

[Austin55]

You dont ave to put it in google earth if ya dont wanna:)

[verticalextropy]

You dont ave to put it in google earth if ya dont wanna:)

I really wanna cos it wud luk :cool:

---- I0ve been bragging tooo much for the present level of completion, anyway so is FRiday the day?

[Austin55]

I really wanna cos it wud luk :cool:

---- I0ve been bragging tooo much for the present level of completion, anyway so is FRiday the day?

it might crash GE though

weekend anyway.

[verticalextropy]

ok that makes sense.
yeah, let's make at LEAST sunday

[Aleks]

I think Sunday is good as a deadline then on the same day or Monday the poll would open and we could let the poll run for 3-5 days. Is that O.K?

[Aleks]

Well I just thought I'd waste the last post on this page before posting my entry

[Aleks]

Warning: 30 Google Sketchup Pictures

Oceania Plaza:

My entry includes 3 towers and 2 small buildings. The complex includes retail, residences, a hotel, office, restaurants, and parks/plazas. The tallest tower is a mix between condos and offices, the second tallest tower; a building "completed" in 1920; is a mix of luxury residential and office, the third tallest is a hotel/condo building and the smallest one is a luxury mall.

Western Tower:
Floors: 47 (26 Office, 17 Residential, 1 Observation, 2 lobby/service, 1 empty)
Height: 621 feet
Use: Office, Residential
Facts: The Western Tower was finished in 1920 an opened in June, 4th, 1920. When it first opened it was the 4th tallest building in the world and the tallest outside New York City. The design came from the Seattle Smith Tower which was opened in 1914; the architect was born in Seattle and fell in love with the Smith Tower so he based the Western Tower on the Smith Tower's design. Bought in 2005 (due to large amount of vacancy) by the Ritz-Carlton Company, it was decided to restore the old building to it's original beauty and turned into condominiums. The plan did not work out due to people who protested so that the tower would not become a hotel. Today the tower is a mix of office and some of the most luxurious condominiums on the Western Hemisphere.

I love the facade (by that I mean the curved side) of the hyatt.
nice one the tallest building, like hancock but better seized, good job!
There's gonna be a lot of skypools in this thread I'm beggining to suspect.

[Aleks]

Thanks, I should've waited but nobody was entering their complexes so I was brave and became the first one.

[Peter]

nice work alex and great presentation :D

my favorite is the Wester Tower, it very much reminds me of the Singer Building (the general shape of it).

[Austin55]

:previous: It more reminds me of smith tower,but Alekalready mentioned that.I believe i am getting fliped of in picture 11:) Nice work!

I will post min tomorrow,hopefully.

Begen posting desighns!!!
I cant spell worth crap.

[verticalextropy]

ok I threw or froze all of my prev designs and I'm starting over, so I've cancelled a business meeting, quit school, and didnt call the girl who could have been the one and is leaving just now back to Nevada, all just to present my complex on time.
Speaking of which one of the buildings might be a "SU Rehab Clinic"

[Dac150]

Very nice Alek. I can see you put a lot of work an thought into that complex. I also like how you incorporate the enviroment with your buildings. Very nice work and design.

Wery Well laid out!! and obviously you manage your textures as perfectly as it gets
Should I post a teaser of mine of my most finished building?

[Austin55]

[Austin55]

:previous: most understandable. I wont mind:) I am very sorry to haer about that.:(

I don't have time to finish mine.

sorry to hear that Flyersfan

[Austin55]

were are looking at another exticion:(

[FlyersFan118]

I decided to do something I didn't think anyone else would. A main sticking point with me was making sure that all of the buildings in the complex corresponded with each other, rather than having a couple of buildings that seemed unrelated to each other more or less. So, here it is (get ready for picture hell: I think there's almost 30 pictures here):

Aurora Boardwalk Hotel and Casino
Atlantic City, NJ

Aurora is located on the Atlantic City Boardwalk between Connecticut Ave and Massachusetts Ave:

And finally, this is the observation tower, which stands and 1,158' and towers over the rest of Atlantic City, affording some of the best views around.

Flyers! Just great, I really the style, it is very Atlantic City, the observation tower adds a googie touch.
Is the huge roof of the casino used in some way?
I gotta say that I share to some extent the concept of "familly of buildings" for this project, and the curved façades.

KUDOS!

PD: actually the only pic that makes hell outa the xprience is the first jpeg sate one.
PErhaps in the future we should begin converting them to PNG before posting'em.

all mine are png, jpg makes them very low quality.

if you're referring to the roof that goes over the boardwalk, it's there more or less for look.
