nice! lookin good so far! i like the older buildings and newer buildings mixed together...im looking forward to updates!

[foxmtbr]

Wow, I am certainly impressed! Excellent detail, the buildings meet the ground very nicely, and great roads! And I love the cranes! :) Keep up the great work! :tup:

Wow, vintage! Very nice. :)

Not to bring down the party but.

You really need to be creative here, almost all of those textures are from the 3D Warehouse, for example the Woolworth Building is one of the most obvious. I also see parts of my WTC Model in there :( Also Gotham? I'm sure you can come up with a much more creative name that hasnt already been taken, look: Palm Dunes, City City, Staunton, Neulite, Alex City.

These are just tips, I'm sure eventually your city will turn out to be one of the best ones here :)

i dont think your very creative making a city thats all most exactly the same as an existing city. Dude Gotham is an imaginary city and how cool is to have it as a model and yes i did copy and past textures but not from 3d warehouse actualy i saved them, like three of them are from 3DWH buts thats because its very hard to find textures. Also how do i make textures???????????????if i knew how to make textures then probably everything would be original.

[Patrick]

Yes, Staunton is based off of an existing city, I know it dose look too much like New York, but hey, I like it. Palm Dunes has LA in it, City City is a mix of Chicago and Millwakee. But they still turned out great.

Gotham is from Batman, thats not very creative, you really cant come up with a better name? I'm sure your more creative than that. But if you like it, then stick with it, I guess.

I just dont like how you are using other people's textures to use, without their permission I see several of my textures there.

Making Textures has been stated in these fourms several times, how can you have missed it? CGII even gave a detailed list of Instructions, (I think it was in my thread)

Did you see it? I can post it here if you want.

I just was giving you advice, do you want me to stand back and just say "wow" or "cool". It dose get boring after a while.

[Tanster]

i "copy and past" most of my textures from here
http://www.environment-textures.com/index.php?id=3&photo=Buildings-Historical
which building has your texture???
i dont know how i could of used your texture.
also can you post the link on how to make textures
sounds like fun????

[Dac150]

^^^^^^Not for nothing Patrick, but I think your afraid this city will steal thunder from Staunton. You have to let people do their own thing and be creative on their own. Its not your job to police the forum of cityscape.

On a more positive note, love the city tanster, especially the thunder trick. Nice job!

[Patrick]

Actually I couldnt care less if "Gotham" got more attention than Staunton. I wonder how you miss all my posts in SSP Cityscape encouraging to show more, especially cities that have stopped.

I'm not policeing the fourm, I'm giving him advice which would later benifit his city. Saying "Wow" and "Good Job" just dosnt do the trick.

Tanster, it probably looks like I'm a total ass for attacking you like that, I was angry, but my main point is that you took other people's textures, without permission, or credit. I was a little too harsh because I cant take plagerisum, it has just happened to many times to me.

In the first pic, behind the Woolworth Building, I can clearly see the black box's textures are from my "World Trade Center & Surroundings" Model. In the 2nd pic, I see another black box (under the glass tower) way to the left uses my textures from the same model. In the 6th pic, the building directly behind, torwards the right, uses my 7WTC textures from my WTC 1.0 model.

You can use them, but with some credit.

Here is the list, exactly as CGII said it, but to Rowbk, who has, mysteriosuly, dissapeared.

:brickwall:

Turn on your computer.

Open your web browser. This is most likely Internet Explorer. It may go by a different name, but take some time to find it.

Go to Google.

That's http://www.google.com .

Click on the 'images' tab at http://www.google.com .

Type 'Building' into the query (that's the empty rectangle witht he flashing line).

Click 'Search.'

You will find multiple images to select.

Let's pick this one.

http://www.ihs.nl/photogallery/Building/images/IHS%20Building%202.jpg

Using your photo editing program, select out one face of the building, preferably the side whom says 'IHS.'

Copy this selection of the building.

Paste the copied selection into a new file whose edges just fit the edges of your selection.

Adjust the corners of your selection to fill the canvas.

Save this file in .jpg format.

If you don't understand this much, we've got a problem, and YOU're going to have to do some work on YOUR own to figure out how to do this. It's really quite simple.

But heres a question, any of your buildings have a name yet?

[BoiseAirport]

Patrick,

I agree completely with what you are saying. In all honesty I would've said the same thing, except maybe just not be too blunt about it. HOWEVER, if some people check out your postings specifically on Page 1 of "Palm Dunes - A Google Sketchup City", they'll see that you may sound pretty hypocritical regarding plagerism, not because you did it, but technically foxmtbr did it with the same 3D Warehouse during the start of Palm Dunes, and instead of saying "Hey, you plagerized!" you say "Hey, great work! Keep it up!". Since then I do not know if foxmtbr has asked for permission to continue using them, but I thought I'd kindly throw this out there before someone else slams it in your face like a banana cream pie to a clown.

[CGII]

Actually, Patrick, the term 'Gotham' far predates Batman. It was a nickname for Manhattanized urban areas from the 20's and 30's, though was used as early as 1807.

But it is very wrong to steal textures. Not only those glass boxes, but I see some Battery Park City textures from his WTC model and the Equitable Building textures from it as well. Definately a no no. At least give the guy credit.

[malec]

Well, at least real estate agencies aren't using your images to sell stuff.

[Dac150]

I do agree however that the Woolworth is a complete rip off.

No hard feelings Patrick.

I do not get textures from the 3d warehouse. (The only texture I have ever stolen from there was the seating for my stadium, taken from a Google-uploaded model. I'm sorry, Google!) For all my textures, I do exactly what is explained in CGII's post that has been quoted here, cropping pictures from Google images, or finding textures on there from sites which I have posted before. Now, in Tanster's city, there is one obvious example of a texture which is already used in my city (the tall blue building), but I cannot blame him because it is not my texture, it was taken from a texture site found on Google, so he has every right to use the texture as well.

Now, I believe you guys are talking more about him taking textures from Patrick's NYC models, which, if Patrick made them himself, is wrong, and Tanster should have gotten permission to use them first.

P.S. If you guys ever feel that I am plagarizing or anything, feel free to tell me, I wouldn't want to intrude others' rights. :)

[Tanster]

Patrick Please confirm that these are your textures!
I did a close up

I did not try to take your textures (i did not know) i just remeber i copyed and paste most of my textures form that website i listed and this other website in google.
i only got like three textures form 3d warehouse because they where actualy existing buildings. So if those are your texture tell me so i can remove them. I just dont want people thinking that im a texture jacker.

That so true one building has your texture. Im sorry for now on i will make my textures

[foxmtbr]

^ I'm sorry if it came across that way, I'm not blaming you at all for that texture, it's rightfully yours as much as it is mine. :yes:

Actually, he didnt, (as seen in his post below) except for the Stadium Seats Textures (which he already mentioned)

Good Point. And Yes, the Equitable and Woolworth Textures are very noticable.

Tanster - I did not make the texture in the first pic. Tanster, I'd probably say take them off, but I dont want to look like an Ass, so I guess I'll let you use them.

My basic point is: I just got mad that you gave no credit or asked for permission. Its too late to ask now, This happened so many times (ESPECIALLY on 3D Warehouse) that I attacked you. Sorry for attacking you, you can use them if you want. Stauntons textures are all made by me (well modifed, etc.) but usuing others just dosnt make your city your own. If you really cant do it because you dont have the right programs, then you really have no choice, for example, like Foxmtbr, his textures were made for people like him, sortof.

[Tanster]

so those are your textures??????sorry for taking them i did not know.....If i knew that those where your textures (which i still think there not because i could of swore i got this from a website) then i would of never put them on. Yes some buildings are actualy buildings but those are my favorite buildings.

[Patrick]

Ah, no hard feelings, I'm sorry for attacking you like that. Well anyways, yeah I guess you can use them.

And yes those are, I can compare if you want, but whatever, no big deal really ;)

Not that it truly matters:

I'm referring to when you started. You even said yourself in the beginning of the thread that all you did was google "building textures" which would lead you to 3D Warehouse. I'm not mad or anything, but I just feel you're posting incorrect information. I'm also not tryin to point fingers at you foxmtbr, just kindly pointing it out.

If you look up at the picture above, you'll see these textures (taken from 3D Warehouse):

Although now I feel bad for straying the topic off course, I just wanted to kindly point this out to you, like I say, before someone else harshly does, and I don't want to come across as a jerk or anything. In fact, if I recall correctly, as long as you cite the source, and as long as you don't make money using hem, then it shouldn't violate plageristic laws, and if they do violate them, then I'll just keep my mouth shut

I didn't get those textures from the 3d warehouse, I got them searching Google images, from texture websites(not the 3D warehouse). That just means that someone on the warehouse found the same site I did for textures.

For example, you can find many of the textures I have used on these sites, stored in my favorites:
http://mayang.com/textures/Buildings/html/Modern%20Commercial%20Buildings/index.html

http://absolutetextures.com/cityscape.html

http://www.texturama.com/main.php

Obviously, since I found these textures on websites, many other people are capable of finding them too, so it doesn't surprise me at all that other people have the same ones.

P.S. I decided to check the URL on the images you posted, and it is www.amazingtextures.com. I checked the site, and yes, that is where I got them. I don't see what is wrong with getting textures from a texture site, lol... :rolleyes: I'm even registered there, so it's all good.

Now, I think we've all (myself included, my apologies)hijacked Tanster's thread enough, maybe we should just let him get back to his city.

[Derek]

loving the advertising there!!! i like how you have that one building with a construction texture...its a cool little bonus to your city's life

[CGII]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g280/Joey313_photos/update10.jpg

is it okay if i use it? thats probably the only texture i knew belong to somebody i did not know textures where such a big problem I need to be more careful because i dont know how it saves into sketchup. I knew that was your because i remeber you put it the "our city" streets and i gues it saved on there

[BoiseAirport]

Yeah guys, come on...he's just borrowing road textures. He probably couldn't find any, and I had just as much trouble looking for them. I really don't see what the problem is with textures...it's like, make your own or hit the road, now.

That, I agree with :)

[Patrick]

Is that a Times Square themed area in one of those pics? :)

[Tanster]

^^ not really its more like a Rodeo Dr. themed area
but im planing to do a theatre themed area. "so you could probably call it a times square themed area"

[Patrick]

Well yeah, not the Rodeo Drive one, but in the Rodeo Drive Themed pic, in the background there seems to be an area simular to Times Square, but is still in its planning stages. Cant wait :)

Lookin' good!

[Dear Leader VI]

Excellent work, especially with the street layouts!

[Patrick]

Very, Very cool.

[Tanster]

Excellent work, especially with the street layouts!

the main street Gotham Ave or Gotham blvd (whats street name is better)
well that texture IS CGIIs.The small streets is from LionChild but i changed it a little so its not original texture

[Dac150]

i'd suggest adding a little more of your own creativity. The Rodeo Drive, textures, just too boring for me. Cities like Staunton, Palm Dunes, and Dear Leader's city, all have their own original aspect. Not downing you city, but just an opinion. Please don't take it the wrong way.

[Tanster]

^^Those are not Rodeo textures.
:hell:
I said it has a Rodeo theme but thats not going to be the main center its just a street full of Luxury Shopping Just like Rodeo and 5th Ave

[Dac150]

I was reffering to the textures of the Wooworth building etc....

[Tanster]

Thats only one building and i like it.

[Patrick]

Yall need to take people's advice. We wasnt downing your city, he was saying his opinion, I kinda agree, some textures dont go well with the city. Your buildings need more quality, they seem rushed. The problem is many of your buildings are very plain, they just seem duplicated.

Take time on your buildings, brainstorm what you want your buildings to look like. Get some insperation, it actually works.

Maybe we are being to hard on you, how old are you?

[Tanster]

I thought he ment that i was trying to copy Rodeo Dr. and not being creative thats why i got mad. now i know he did not mean it that way
my buildings are quick and fast, some but Im working on a lot of things for Gotham City you will see the next few updates ???????????????
Im 15 you

[Dac150]

^^^^^^No, No, No, by all means thats not what I meant. Sorry you took it that way. What Patrick said sums up what I was getting at.

[Tanster]

Nice pics!

[Derek]

i like the building to the immediate left of the brown one...the grey one...in that last pic...but nice update;)

[Tanster]

Well im not sure where Gotham might be located on the map
but it might be next to long beach
here is a pic that area does not exsist in real life but i wanted Gotham to be on the west caost so heres my man made island :jester:


http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g280/Joey313_photos/Gotham-Map.gif

so if any body is going to update the map put gotham right next to Long Beach.
or am i supposed to do it:koko:

[bbeliko]

Haha, I don't even know how to use layers, or what purpose they serve. :P

Nice pics!

Yea What are layers

[Patrick]

Are you going to take me and Dac150's advice? Or ignore it?

Gotham, on the West Coast? Gotham, Next to Long Beach? Gotham, the size of a small downtown area? Lets be realalistic here, the city is to large to fit on that tiny island, plus a city with that many 20's - 30's buildings would not exist on the West Coast. I suggest something on the East Coast, sounds more realalistic, also find a vacant area for plenty of space for your city.

[Tanster]

Gotham is going to be on the west coast and you'll see why later...
yes your right about the island thing i need to fix it
maybe Gotham can be in Catalina Island hmmmmm

[Patrick]

Why dosnt Gotham get its own Island? :) BUT Still, Its in California, Gotham? Shouldnt it be named like Los Angeles or San Diego?

For Example here are some examples
- Santa Palmita
- San Hernandez
- San Fernango
- Palm View
- Palm Bay
- San Sanchez
- San Henando
- Palm Beach

I want Gotham to be close to Hollywood.
so i could seem like if Hollywood chose Gotham as a location for the Movie "batman" or show. You know what i mean?

if gotham gets its own island, i would have to make it because the only island in SC is Catalina island
What do you think?

[Dac150]

I really think you should change the name if you want this city in that location. Sorry to bring up that debate again, but I'm sure I speak for some of you. I also think you should move it further away from LA. Kinda close in my opinion.

I agree, especially since there is already Oceanside, Palm Dunes, and Sun City, as well as LA and San Diego in the SoCal area, unless you want to put it in a totally different Sketchup city universe.

make it its own island with an underwater tunnel connecting it with the 710 in Long Beach or something...thatd be neat

You just cant have a large East Coast Styled City, On the West Coast, In Southern California, inside another Major City, it just dosnt make any sence at all.

If you want to keep it on the West Coast, I suggest moving up torwards Northern California, for Example, San Francisco has a good amount of 1930's buildings.

But I strongly reccomend a Island, you dont have to put it on an already existing island, such as Catalina Island, Whats wrong with putting it on its own island?

I'm getting bored with this city. Need Staunton updates:hyper:

[bbeliko]

i see this city dying fast not becasue of the city but because of the posts Let let him do whatever he wants

[foxmtbr]

^ I agree. As with Dear Leader's city, let's just let Tanster do what he wants, it's his city after all. Sure, it might not make sense, but it isn't a real-life city anyways, so it doesn't have to make sense.

[Tanster]

guys it will make sense later on when i post the wikipedia Gotham Site

yeah i might go with the island. The long beach thing was just something i thought of the top of my head.

[Patrick]

Cool, an Island sound great. Derick Loves SD's post about the underground tunnel also sounds like a good idea.

[bbeliko]

guys it will make sense later on when i post the wikipedia Gotham Site

Yes, that is a great theater! I really ought to make some stuff like that. I think I may start making a night club and entertainment district.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!:banana: i was busy this past week but i found sometime
well this is what I’ve been working on

Many of Gothams Theatres where built around the 1920s. Theatres such as The Gotham, The Ivry, and the Royal theatre. Gotham City and the Gotham theatre soon became well know in 1939 when the first, "the-batman" comic book came out using the City Gotham as the place where Batman fights crime
The Gotham theatre soon was one of the best theatres for its show "The Batman" which orginaly came from the comic book. Many new Theatres Where built (around Gotham blvd and Broadway)
In 1946 The city proposed a new GRAND theatre it was called the Gotham Broadway theatre. IT was completed in 1948. But by the 1960s many of the theatres where forgotten and abandon. Most of the attention went towards Hollywood with its movies and shows including Batman TV shows. Gotham theatres where no longer in service.
The renovation of the Ivry theatre has caused a spark (or flame lol) to the rest of the Gotham theatres many theatres have been renovated
with new signage and shows………………………





Gotham Theatre has been renovated with its original show "the batman"

it looks great:)

[foxmtbr]

Wow, that's grown quite a bit! I'm glad to see you're still working on it, it keeps getting better and better. As for that empty lot you mentioned, I'd say yes, build a park. Open space is always nice in a big city. :)

[Patrick]

very nice.
