story details to be disclosed eventually

The Lindbergh Palace Hotel was built in 1924 and is to the day the city's token meeting place.

This is going to be an amazing city. Everything already looks great, and I especially love that box. I can see already that this city will be a long lasting success. Pease keep at it!

Hehe, I knew you were gonna love that box, and expect a lot more in the future.

Aleks · #4 Posted **Dec 20, 2007, 12:13 AM**

Awesome Vertical. Are you using Kerk for those renders?

This is going to be a great city. I was thinking about making renders of my city too but it's too big to add lights and people so I'll just stick with Sketchup. Besides reners take too long and I'm impatient.

Thank you Aleks, thank you Dac! I am using Kerky and my own textures and actually no lights but the sun (xcept in that one) as it makes it so much faster (less than 10m so far but it's only 4 buildings)

Aleks · #6 Posted **Dec 20, 2007, 1:07 AM**

Only 4 buildings just now....Wow buddy, you go a lot o' work to do.

So all your shots will be rendered? Oh, you should give a little details and history on some buildings.

December 20, 1972

It was a glorious morning in the valley as Midas Mulligan Jr. cut the ribbon of his new project. At the same time his archrival Ellsworth Hootey was preparing to do just the same.
Two huge properties occupying two lots each have been inaugurated today just a block from each other:

Mulligan's "Hotel Bauen" rises 109 meters above the ground and offers 4 (other sources will say 5) star accomodation along its 33 floors.

And Hootey's 138m tall towers leased mostly to the credit insurance firm "Phi"

Aleks · #12 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 1:35 AM**

Awesome, your Sketchup abilities have improves faster and faster. I like the Phi Towers more. Those are nice looking.What you should do is convert meters to feet so all the lazy people like me don't have to.

verticalextropy · #13 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 1:43 AM**

Thanks Aleks!
The Bauen is 357 ft tall while the phi towrs are 452.

oh Aleks, forgot to tell you, I should have followed your adviced of building a road grid before hand!

Aleks · #15 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 1:50 AM**

Yeah, I knew this would happen. Land scape basically makes a city. Literally. It allows you to decide what goes where and how a place looks or will look.

Dac150 · #17 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 4:01 AM**

That looks amazing. Your skills have really improved. I like all the buildings.

foxmtbr · #18 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 4:05 AM**

Stunning!

Tanster · #19 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 4:37 AM**

this city is so real looking

Austin55 · #20 Posted **Dec 21, 2007, 4:51 AM**

umm,wow! that was a surprise. You went from hand made to textures.It looks way more realistic.

lets hope it doent end up like its name

Is this your first time working with textures?
