At least a week, if not more. New York's really something to see. It's sad seeing that picture (I'm guessing it was taken somewhere new Central Park..I'd say GE building but I think it's a little too far towards the East River to be GE) and then seeing the actual skyline and knowing the Twins are gone. I remember back in May when I was up in New York how eerie it felt, especially from the top of the Empire State Building.

^That shot is from a helicopter, GE is would be far off the the right, plus the pic is too high up. But still I love that pic

I dont know, after 9/11, New York is slowley becoming another bland city, although I have to agree, it was great.

I was never there before 9/11. I wouldn't say it's bland at all (although I've only been there like twice). The sea of concrete (especially from 1,000 feet up) is breathtaking, the food's great, the people are...New Yorkers...I'd love to go back sometime soon.

Homie, there's probably 100 different places there. Do you have any idea how many restaurants there are in New York? It's something close to 20,000.

Very Nice

How tall are these buildings? I think your city needs a 900 footer or so.

I was thinking ,as it looks like your city is definately worth doing a render in Kerkythea -you might want to reverse them blue faces cos they wont show up in the render program keep up the good work

I don't have any textures done yet so no rendering.

Patrick, tallest building is the box in the middle of the picture at 850'. I think I'm going to keep that as the tallest for now.

Yes, FlyersFan, save yourself the trouble now, before you start applying textures! Reverse all the purple faces! (You can just hilight everything at once and do it, pretty simple.)

I'm not sure what you mean...that's the default color that everything comes up in. How do I...reverse the purple faces?

Added a football stadium, a convention center and a few other buildings to the city. I don't want to post any pictures of it just yet, because I'm still working on a baseball park for the city.
