Megellan City- a google sketchup city

[rbowk]

i bloody sucked at it i am just not good at sketchup

[rbowk]

thats why i am giving up

[Mocholate]

You definately don't suck Rbowk , i know people twice your age that give up on Sketchup because they can't do half the things you do

[Aleks]

Don't give up. It'sa nice city but like I said experiment.

[rbowk]

yeah but want it like mocholate

[Aleks]

You want your city like Mo's?

[rbowk]

i mean i want i like how he has it loking like real i want those reflecions
if had all that then this city wouldent stop for couple of mouths or even years

[Aleks]

Oh, you don;t need reflections or fancy things. For now just practice. I wanted all that too but my city is just fine without all the renders. There is no secret to make you better at Sketchup, just practice and practice. That's what I did and my city came out fine. Patience is good in Sketchup trust me I know.

[rbowk]

ok then

here is update

[Aleks]

See... Just download some cranes from google and put them into your city I you want a tropical feeling then just change the color on some of the buildings into more Miami like colors instead of dark New York like colors

[Mocholate]

It looks good as it is Rbowk , i agree you dont need reflections ,besides Kerk is a pain to use

[Austin55]

you dont suck,your the youngest kid here,except maybe me. mocholates,like,25? there's only one spot on this forum for people who suck,and I already took it
youve improved Drasticly over the last two weeks.
kerk is a pain if its anything like podium,slow,you gotta reverse the faces,its just not worth it Yet. you can still improve a bit at su alone,cause over this last week youve gotten much,much better.
maybe,if you want,you can do some individual projects to shharpen your skills.
just go search amazing textures again,there's plenty more on there.

I really can't wait for the next stuff from you!

i have already been to amazing textures there isent any like light ones good ones for the miami feeling

(i am really running out of textures)

[Aleks]

Just get a texture. When you put the textures on the building click "Edit" on the Material/Paint Bucket section. There you will see a color wheel, just move the little square inside the wheel around and you will see the texture change color.

there has been a few buildings pop up in the marina
and here and there the two big towers there called Hevens Gates

the council have got plans for a landmark but dont no what so if you have ideas pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee tell me
enjo and hope you like it

[Aleks]

Great job your city is getting bigger every update! Well a great landmark can be a new Tower, a bridge, anything you think fits your city best. I can't have an old landmark for my city because my city is being built from present time to future. You need a history. Try to show shots from the Marina like if you were looking up, it makes the buildings look bigger.

your weolcome,you can just edit textures .

[rbowk]

not an update
but i is a proposal here is the Mavricks Tower



so what do you think

[Aleks]

It's nice. Make the antenna a bit thinner, and shorter or make the middle part taller. It should be moved to the waterfront or the Marina where it would get more attention.
