The grid is a little "ehhh", but the buildings seem nice and well thought out (especially that black & white one). Stay with it for sure. I think you got something.

Looks great ( must have taken forever to make all the windows! )

treras93 · #4 Posted **Sep 23, 2007, 5:05 PM**

Great job! It looks awesome! I think the grid is very unique and could prove to make an interesting skyline.

I love the white tower! its my favorite. In the first pic,the tall red and yellowtower,I think they should be shortend. they look slikesome residential building you see tacked onto skyscraper in NY,and I think there effect would be better shorter.the grid is a bit wild,but If its fonna e full of towers,dont worry about.

ok is there something wrong wit the design of the building or is it just the colors, i cant figure it out

Mocholate · #8 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 3:04 AM**

nice

the lsat one -too bright , maybe leave it and break it up with some colour so the orange is less dominant i reckon

treras93 · #9 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 3:24 AM**

is this any better

I love that your doing floor to floor!! Yay! So am I! Anyways I noticed that some of the sidewalks are colored the same or are painted the default colors. That happened with Mexico City. Some of the sidewalks would not close up and I had like half of the city blocks be the same face!! I hated that.

The layout is ehh like Dac said it might be best to change it or it will bring problems to your city later on. The white building is nice but what am I supposed to call it if you don't add info to your buildings!!

Also, the first three buildings with windows seem a little too tall or thin to be brick so I would suggest making them either shorter or fatter! It's just not realistic enough. Other than that they're fine. Hey I was just about to work on buildings with windows myself!! You beat me to it!!

Another also, make the base floor taller than the floors above it because usually tall towers have tall lobbies! This is best for the glass buildings because those are the ones that have big lobbies most of the time.

Finally, the last building is fine but maybe get rid of the 2 small steps at the end. Maybe change the colors, maybe because sometimes buildings with funky designs look good with funky colors! You wouldn't want a building the shape of the Burj al Arab painted beige would you?!?!?!!!!

Wow, I wrote quite a bit! Hope all these tips help you out!Sorry if I make you feel bad!! but it's so you get better an S.U. Oh, these tips mostly apply if you want your city to be realistic!!

Have fun!! and we'll keep track of your city!

^ i'd love it if you did something like that to Staunton

THIS CITY IS awfully smexy.
I like the attention to detail, the grid could use some work, BUT thats yo decision.

Mocholate · #12 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 12:17 PM**

yeah its better like that

all in 20 mins too

following off aleks though it really will depend what you put in the blocks around that building

Dac150 · #13 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 7:23 PM**

I personally think you should go back to Alton. Alton is much more concrete.

I didn't think Alton was boring, but I agree with you with regards to the white.

treras93 · #17 Posted **Sep 24, 2007, 10:02 PM**

alright first off i started redoing the grid is this any better

obviously its not done but i didnt want to do the whole thing and have it turn out bad.

and then, from now on i will make sure to give the building's height, use, etc.

TR Tower
built: 2004-2006
use: floors 1-32-residential 33-39 Hotel
Floors: 39
height:417' 3''

How does this look for an opera house, by the way not done yet (for those of you, if any, play sim city 4 you may notice a slight resemblance)

Aleks · #19 Posted **Sep 25, 2007, 3:22 AM**

It's very detailed but this will slow you down later on! Maybe the streets that move up-down should be straight and the outside ones are O.K.

Tip: Don't get inspired too much from video games or people will notice a lot!! Then some of the designs will have to be (not really but it's best to) changed.

Also, the Opera House is nice but I don't like the changing colors, only because it's shape is of an old building but the colors are new and funky!!
It's best if old=old and new=new.

The TFR Tower came out great keep it up!

treras93 · #20 Posted **Sep 25, 2007, 4:06 AM**

any better

either way i think this is basically how it will stay, after i finish it of course
