Dac, the city still in the 70s so you'll see more boxes on this district for a while,
Fox, Tanster, thanks I'm blushing.. Austin, thanks, this is the first time I work with renders and textures (I just got a camera! all the txtrs were made from pictures of Buenos AIres ive just shot - (school is over for the summer!!!!!)
How did Mulligan's Valley ended up? Wasnt the only city that survives the breakdown of civilization? I'm just happy it's first on google!

The Lindberh's been doubled in size, and some new beggining of the century buildings.

Wow that's nice. The Lindberh's Place looks way better now and you're so lucky. You guys have Summer down there while we have Winter.

It's been a couple of weeks, I began my summer vacations, been swimming in the ocean a lot, but that doesnt mean i got too far away from SU. Mulligan's found its location, on the South Atlantic shores of URuguay, and it's now a Peninsula not a Valley. So here's an update! Enjoy.

Wow, Awesome. Once this is filled in it will look great! It had been a while since we got an update. I see 3 Chicago styled buildings. I'm guessing it will be a Chicago based city? Or a mix?

I love the crown, makes it look very classic while the main floors make it look very modern. There are a couple of things you should add to it like some trading floors under every step or every 2 steps. That makes the building look less bland and adds more excitement to it. Use the offset tool and offset every roof part with like 2 feet then use the push/pull tool and push the newly formed shape like 3 feet down. It adds like a roof handrail and it makes the building more realistic. And finally just add a base, make some arched entranced or something so that it's more realistic and adds flavor to the building.

Great that you're back Vertical! I still love your boxy towers and the Lindbergh Palace.

I can't believe i missed this city. This is awesome. I love that old shot you posted of the bottom of the Hootey's tower. The curves in that are totally 70s style. This is a great city. The new skyscraper is really cool too. You are a good renderer. I look forward to seeing more.

I love the Kong Center, reminds me of the Library Tower in LA. I suggest pulling up the setbacks on the bottom of the building, giving it a more sturdy look, for example like the Library Tower or Sears Tower. The building lacks a long middle boring part, like the ESB and Chrysler Building, you know what I mean? Too many middle setbacks.

patrick, i know what you mean.

It reminds me of that tower too, but guess which tower in asia inspired the pointy shape?

thanks Peter!

I still don't know if they're gonna be twins, but now hte tower is 342 meters tall to the crown and 109 floors, its base being a 50 m square.
