I hinted yesterday at A Pelli based tower. So I finished it up mostly. Its sorta a combination of 181 Weest Madison and 777 tower. it even looks like Library tower from some angles(sorta).Its 4th tallest.


I kinda pulled of a lighthouse guiding boat effect,TC style,and x2.


Ok,I dont mean to sound stuck up,but this shot is awesome

PS,IIll be editing Westworth,the one that looks exactly like Wells Fargo Houston. Oh,and Westworth actually refers to West Fort Worth,not patricks wentworth,I wasnt even thinking of that.

Just opened this thread!

I like the building but I think it's a little wide. I really like the design though. It does look very Pelli [awesome architect]. This building would look kick-butt in some night renderings with lights shining at the crown.

I agree on editing Westworth, it does look a lot like Wells Fargo. Maybe just replacing the tower altogether would be nice. Same massing and height just a different design. With a shiny base!

Yes yes first thing I thought when I saw it was the 777 Tower, its perfectly 1980's - 1990's Pelli, but I think it is worthy of being the tallest.

It's way cool but seriously If you wanna render it aint gonna be possible to export with that many edges n stuff.
I only leave SOME small ones like these.

This building has medium detail

el tren luce genial y those last shots are very very good. I see you have a Sim Mess with your interesections, but only because you've got a nice road system wrking.

Why don't you do some piers, with retail and lofts in recycled warehouses and other low-rises. And / or big park like in Chicago, or Battery P, or Scottsburg.

What Vertical said. Some lofts in old warehouses and maybe a museum in an old factory. Definitely a park.

And you should add people to your city streets. Then it would look even better than it does now.

New Diagram,Not Including Midtown yet. need to fix some thingssorry for the uber huge size.

Notes
-The events center is in the side of a hill,so it slopes up
-Westworth(all new!) is built on a man made hill,thats why its levitaing,,I counted the hill as a hight boost,but the hill isnt actually pictured
-Twister,the sculpture,has gone missing from all the files(IDK why)
Cardinal bank is levititaing slightly

Edit-I forgot to switch the size I uploaded the pictures at,so its kinda krazy

Ahh Yes, the waterfronts a'comin. I plan on having 3 spereate parts along the main parts of the city,Industrial,Shops and parks. heres the shops,which will go infront of downtown. I took alot of ideas from boiseairports "porte L'Aggro" or whatever it was,thanks Anthony!
(ships from the house)



And I just had to add a heliport. but you may be wondering why theres a jet there. well,I was bored with my money one day,so I bought myself a private jet,and made the engines at the back so they could swivel and face down.then I added another small jet under the front wheel which faces down. I can swivel the back to engines downand turn on the forward jet,and viola,I can hover with my own private jeta good upside to this I dont have to land on Spinnaker street anymore,thats always a dozy. I even added my own liveries,JAL for James Air Lines.
(thanks williamt for the choppers and my jet)


city stuff
Southland bank down worthington street


W.T. Waggoner


I needed some good infill in this spot,and wanted something with a sloping roof,what do you think of my desighn?


Southland Life @ night


more later,including a skyscraper "tour".

thanks for your time,comments appriciated
