Just asking to know if you want us to contribute a description like that for our pavillons?

I take it that burjdubai91 did the text work. Very professionally done if I should say so.

[Flamesrule]

Yes, if I remember right he does the text on photoshop. He does a great job.

mines done, i just need to render it. how bout i upload it, and you do the renders??? you tend to render each pavillion anyways. (plus your renders a million times better than mine.)

[burjdubai91]

Aleks: Nice to hear! Finally, Axis East is getting some new occupants
Foun10head: Yep, I did the text, though I took some words from your brief description as well. I did forget to note the liberty, equality, fraternity part, I'm real sorry! And thanks for the compliments.
Flamesrule: LOL, Thanks. Actually that's just MS Powerpoint. I rarely use Photoshop. I use Illustrator and InDesign more. And Powerpoint gets the job done faster and just as nice.
Insertnamehere: Sure! I'll be making a preview of it anyway. Rendering takes practice and it took me at least a year to render the way I do right now, which is still not refined and clear if I say so myself. LOL. Do you have the links?

[Vellu]

Nice job, everyone! And beautiful renders, BurjDubai!

[burjdubai91]

Thanks! Its a collective effort and I'm glad with the outcome

[burjdubai91]

Guys, would you be okay with a New Year opening for the Expo?

[burjdubai91]

Okay, so I decided to finally consider an opening of the EXPO at December 31, 2010, or New Year's Eve, though the final renders will probably come out in batches. I not only thought Dubai_skyscraper's idea of a New Year opening quite timely. I also thought this will give you guys enough time to submit the other pavilions since we'll all be probably having Christmas Breaks. Also, what better way to welcome the New Year than a successful opening of this wonderful collab between SSC and SSP. Again, I thank you all for your participation.

Now, what does this entail?

First, I really didn't want to give a deadline, but I pondered that having this project drag for too long might lessen interest in it. Also, I want to move on to my other projects and I don't want to leave this EXPO project unfinished. This will be, as mentioned, an extension of the city I'm building and I want to start work on it soon. So, for everyone participating, the deadline for pavilion submission is: December 29-30 I'm giving two days for pavilion submissions. Hopefully all can send theirs. In the event that some pavilions won't be sent or some lots left vacant, other users can pitch in back-up pavilions or I'll do pavilions as well so no lot is left vacant.

Pavilion Update as of December 18


Note: Under Consideration are lots that haven't received any sort of update for quite a long time and are in danger of finding new owners. Until other users volunteer for them, I'll consider them my slots for now. But those who want to snap up the blue slots, do tell me

Site in general has been progressing rapidly. I've done the Ethnic Pavilion, starting Earth Pavilion, with only the auditorium and the energy station left to do. After that, I'll get real detailed and all sorts of components like streetlamps, and finally, the people to add life to the expo. I also started to create animation vids of the site, though this might not be a sure fire thing as it really takes quite a while to finish.

Okay, so that's all. Do voice out your opinions or suggestions. They'll help a lot. Thanks!

i've finished mine... sorry for doing it so late, I just finished school yesterday
how do i send the file??

[burjdubai91]

Hi Ar92! It's alright. Just attach your skp file to an email then send it to mphkasingsing@gmail.com

[Ar92]

thanks I'll send it right away

worked on my design today. don't expect something too funky you guys. i wanted something very abstract yet recognizable but in the end i think 'classy' beats 'wacky'

so yeah, i'll keep working on my design. i originally wanted a star layout but it just doesn't work for me. and i'm not trying to pick one city/object to represent the entire country. something simple will work best and i'm trying to find a basic shape which i can work from.

[burjdubai91]

Sounds great. Simplicity is good in my book. Can't wait!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I'm in quite a quandary right now as I never foresaw the arrival of so many design commissions for me this holidays ( how ironic right? haha ). Therefore, the Dec 29-30 deadline is MOVED and the opening of the EXPO is of course, to be moved as well to a later date. Rest assured the EXPO is NOT CANCELLED, I just moved the opening to a later date. In that way, we can have more detailed pavilions and I get to finish my work at the same time

Waiting to hear from you guys! And I might upload renders for pavilions as promised on the weekend.

[Aleks]

great! i finished my pavilion today but i wanted to adjust more things around. it's also 10mb so i'll try to cut it down!

[Flamesrule]

Since it is Christmas break, I'll get it in within the next few days.

[burjdubai91]

Aleks and Flamesrule: Glad of the progress! Can't wait

And yes, a Merry Christmas to everyone in SkyscraperPage from PTRCKDSIGN

Some Updates ( Sorry no renders yet )

1. Axis West nears completion with the arrival of the Serbian and the Portuguese pavilion.

2. Axis East welcomes two new pavilions: Argentina and Russia.

Renders on my next post ( hopefully )

Do update this thread wit your pavilion designs and stuff. Happy Holidays everyone!
