Staunton - A Google SketchUp City
This is my second Google Sketchup City, the first one is also called Staunton, but looks very different.
Here is a link to the first Staunton http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=105381 The first Staunton was never actually finished, the city was not planned very well and had too much fixing to do. So I started fresh, a new Staunton City. Staunton City is most likely located on the west coast, but will probably look like an east cost city since the city is going to have a New York Skyline look. Staunton's tallest building is the 83 floor high Galviston Enterprises World Headquarters Tower, followed by the 76 Floor Staunton International Building. Downtown Staunton would either be on an Island or a penisnula of the mainland with a bridge connecting to a large island. I'm not sure how long this model will last, maybe this model will go into the suburbs, or it would probably just be the downtown area....... [[I made the textures]] so dont ask if I got them off a website :) Here are the first shots of the Western Tip of Downtown, Without Textures http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1527/ghj3bu.jpg With Textures (so far only 4 buildings are textured :) ) http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8176/ghj9yg.jpg more to come! |
Nice!

Thanks :)
I've added a whole new section to the city consisting of 10 buildings, 6 of them probably above 40 floors. The New Section is called Staunton Square, it will be a Times Square themed area. The two tallest buildings in the area are the Washington Tower and the Staunton Financial Center. The Washington Tower is one of the most detailed buildings in the city, with its multiple setbacks. The Washington Tower is modeled by the American International Building in New York (I think I made it look too much like the real one) It is now the third tallest building in the city (if you count the spire) The Staunton Financial Center is a large modern new glass tower. It is modeled after the Bloomberg Tower also in New York. The Staunton Financial Center is now the 7th tallest in the city.

:psycho: Nice!!

^Thanks :)
I textured two more buildings, The N Hotels Staunton Square (based on the W Hotel Times Square) and the Millennium Entertainment World Headquarters Tower (based on the Conde Nast Building) The New Towers still need billboards, so the spaces are empty until I make some more billboards. http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/1880/ghj9dq.jpg |
I guess its been kinda slow around here :(
I have been working on Staunton Square, I redid One Staunton Square, a building like One Times Square, a building coverd with billboards. I also deleted a Staunton Square building based on the Reuters Building at 3 Times Square in New York. Here is a picture of the Site.... http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/7641/ghj3co.jpg |
I love it, the billboards look great!
|
Great work! :cool:

^Thanks :)
More Staunton Square Updates The New 1678 Broadway Plaza http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/3954/ghj5az.jpg New Billboards on the base of 1678 Brodway, the Staunton Square Megastore http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2497/ghj1md.jpg JC Summit Center http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/5919/ghj9rm.jpg |
I want your textures.
Nice Times Square. It looks better than Times Square. |
I'm working on a Times Square-like plaza in my own city too. Yours is amazing, Patrick. (Woah, that's my name too!)
Anyone have any ideas for brand logos to use for billboards? |
Thanks! Making Textures isnt that hard, Its very simple, just draw a part of a building that can pattern on paint then upload it. My Textures arent very complicated.
And foxmtbr (or Patrick :) ) Its also easy and kinda fun to make Billboards. Most of my Billboards have pictures of real cities with some corporate name on it. Here are a few. http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1818/ghj6tp.jpg ^Those made up corporate names are easy to think of like Jenkin's and Associates or Galviston Enterprises. And some billboards are just made up stores and companies, that are simpler, http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1052/ghj9xw.jpg ^Those made up companies are basicly parodies of real company names like Lacy's (Macy's) HITtv (Mtv) Another thing that helped me was Getty Images, a great stock photo website that has pictures of almost everything, this is where I got my business people pictures and Times Square Billboards. http://creative.gettyimages.com/sour...eCreative.aspx And Here is the latest shot of Staunton Square. http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9831/ghj3qc.jpg |
Oh alright, thanks! I'll try making some of my own right now.

That website is AWESOME. Thus far I've been spending the most time making textures in photoshop.
