I completely echo verticalextropy's statements. I'm sorry I don't post more here, but honestly I check this forum very frequently just to see if there are any updates to this amazing city. I really think you are doing an utterly fantastic job, and I never cease to be absolutely WOWed by your hard work and renderings. I'm talking serious jaw-dropped out loud "WOW"-age.

Fantastic work on this, I can't wait to see more!

Very nice work! I can't wait what this city will become!

Thks Flamesrule & thatkidfromBoise for your encouraging comments

. I've been slowly continuing to build plane4, which is focussing around predominantly midrise zoning with a scattering of highrises (70-90m, not exactly high) and older period buildings. It takes a bloody long time to fill a 1km square plane, but I'm getting there.

Heres a view of the 'Chancellors House' this is where the head of state resides. I've yet to build a parliament building which I'm planning on doing at some stage and it will probably be on Plane5 (next stage) immediately next to this one. I'll update the map once plane4 is done so members can better grasp the overall picture.

These other 2 views are general shots of plane4, the cathedral is an obvious landmark in both.

That last image looks like a different city,its so different
looking at different angles.Im just wonder how long it takes
to do lets say a midrise...or can you do a building in a
matter of minutes?

Pingyao · #85 Posted **Nov 27, 2009, 8:14 PM**

An average 'Midrise' may take 5-10 mins. Firstly I decide on what the building will be, find the appropriate texture (all my facade textures are assigned a height reference) model the block, apply texture and maybe add roof details.

Yeah the peculiar thing is i don't even know myself what the city will look like until i render it as I model only a small section at a time and then combine them altogether for the renders.

I like that its an 'everything' city

Vellu · #87 Posted **Nov 28, 2009, 8:11 AM**

The huge size is one of the things that makes this city so real. And you're still on plane 4 (or plane 5). If you ever complete all the 400 planes, this city will be something unbelievable! Not to say that this isn't already amazing!

Pingyao · #88 Posted **Nov 28, 2009, 10:09 AM**

Thks Vellu. Yep I'm 85% the way through plane4. Once thats complete the city will be 4km square. It don't sound much, but its already visually quite big.

Flamesrule · #89 Posted **Nov 28, 2009, 8:52 PM**

Very nice as always.Like the pics you are showing us.

Few more views around Planes 2 and 4 (South side of river).

First one is near Park Avenue Multiplex with South Wilmington Av in centre of shot. The area the other side of the avenue is all new building and not as yet on the map. The tall building towards the right is Commonwealth house 85m (279ft) built in 1974, currently the second tallest building on the southbank after the Carisbrook Tower.

This view with the Metropolitan Library on the right, is looking due north towards the river. The blue building on the right in the distance is 70 Collins St. The tallest so far in Sta Fee at 145m (476ft) built in 1993. I've not shown this area too much as its a thin slice at the moment, but this is to become the Los Madres area, the main commercial heart of Sta Fee.

Finally plane 4 is complete. I'm having a little break to regain inspiration and prepare for the next stage. Sta Fee is now 4km's square. Check out the updated map on page1

I don't comment on this really as much as it merits - although I do check back every day or so just to see this city - fantastic progress mate!

Have you considered an airport...?

Pingyao · #96 Posted **Dec 8, 2009, 7:26 AM**

Thks dude! I have considered an airport, but it will be located 2-3 planes (km's) south of whats currently built, so I have no plans as yet. I'm currently looking at an overview of the entire city, which I'll post soon, showing the probably locations of the airport and other stuff.

Flamesrule · #97 Posted **Dec 8, 2009, 11:33 AM**

Nice photo!!!!

This city is just amazing.

Pingyao · #98 Posted **Dec 8, 2009, 2:45 PM**

Ok, here's an aerial view of Sta Fee, forgive the size its a biggun, but I wanted to maximize the detail.

SCROLL>>>>>>>

BoiseAirport · #99 Posted **Dec 8, 2009, 9:10 PM**

Wow.

Just wow.

Really shows that you not only master in the skills of a 3D modeler, but that also you have an unbelievable and truly impressive amount of imagination.

I love checking this thread for updates, it's a highlight of this website.

Flamesrule · #**100** Posted **Dec 10, 2009, 10:46 PM**

I have one complaint.

Too good.
