What do you think? Thanks for your time!:cheers:

Looks nice. I would suggest though not putting domestic shingles on skyscrapers.

:previous: What? Where?

It was on the building which you took out of the city. Nevermind.


However, it seems that all of your cities are the same in looks. If I were you I would put all focus on one city. Otherwise it appears like it's the same city only with a different name. Don't take it the wrong way.

.
This is based on my previos city(SF). Trinity is just sorta their. When I get bored of one city I just start anither. Your comment is appreciated.

Yeah, I agree with Dac150. Stick with ONE CITY. Not to be rude, but all of your three cities look exactly the same :(

I suggest sticking to one city, Staunton took me a full year to come to where it is! If the preformance gets too slow then take out the people cars and trees, as they slow down Sketchup's preformance quite a bit.

:previous: yeah I know:( :shrug: Im going for more detail thi time,aswell as architecture.:(

the new building is pretty neat

i reckon you could join all 3 cities together without much load on the PC , what are the file sizes?

I also agree with Dac.

It's better to have one great city than a few okay ones. Otahita is my first and only city so far. I am not going to work on it for a while now though. That doesn't mean I won't do some other SketchUp projects on the side. :)

Something else, which I'm sure I've mentioned before, is repeationg the same textures. It's starting to get out of hand actually. Seriously, you gotta get some more textures! Not trying to be mean, just lettin you know :) (though I'm sure you knew anyways...)

:( I know,sf is sorta a learning expeirence

were? the two red brivk building have changed,I demoned one

how would i find out?

Go to yo desktop, or the place where you'd keep the file, Right Click>properties>tada.

Why'd you take that building that looks like the Philadelphia/Chicago/San Diego Buildings, it was fine! :yes:

Is that an Otahita billboard i see?

Thanks!

Its coming back better

Yep,its on peters favorite building to:)

new city,40.3:eek:
san felix, 20.3
dang thay a big difference,specially considering the sizes!!
trinity is in the midle.

:tup: that's where it's fucking at :haha:

Awesome! How about a close-up of it? :)

Ok,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...5555/peter.png
:haha: do you have a slogan or somthing?

Where are th double textures?on the lower floors?

Here's one I just thought of (it is awful)

Fun in the Sun. Fun in Otahita! :cool:

If you have something better, I insist you use it! :)

I don't know what you're referring to.

:yuck: :haha:

Hehe... Palm Dunes:
Downtown - 173 MB
Midtown - 65 MB

I just dont understand how Midtown Palm Dunes is 65 MB while Staunton + Jefferson is 39MB.

phweeew , mine is only 23mb

Lol, I made a terrible rhyme to explain this:

Remember your Ts, textures and trees!

:haha:'Snoop fox' best to stick to sexy buildings :P

it's really weird . 1 'Aspen' tree is 90 kb , but 6 of the same tree only takes the file to 108 kb :shrug:

edit: i mean with 6 trees- the model slows down so much when the file is only 18kb larger

Sweet!

Ha, City City I was 150 MB, and CCII is already 80 MB, and I haven't gotten South of downtown yet. The hills take up a lot more space than you think.

:previous: yeah , tell me about it :haha: thats part of the reason i ditched my first city (apart from it was crap) the hills added about 20mb , and they looked shithouse anyway :yes:

your hills are nicely done and worth it though :yes:

Wow. Everyone's filesizes are huge. Otahita is only 10.6 MB, yet the layout is gargtuan (18 miles across), about 36 moderately detailed buildings, all with different textures, plus a wind farm, a massive grid, two very detailed bridges, not to mention the long freeway. Yet it's only 10.6 MB. How the? :shrug: Maybe because there's so few trees.

i think it may have something to do with PC specs , i know that if your PC uses 'MS-Vista' you need to have a more powerfull computer to run sketchup properly , maybe that has something to do with it? :shrug:

This Is twice as large as as sna felix!!

My hills aren't 'hills,' per se, more like inclined roads that give the illusion thereof. ;)

The file size doesn't have anything to do with the physical size of the model, only the complexity (number of faces, polys). Think that City City II is probably about 150-200 detailed buildings and bridges right now, plus geography and vegetation.

just an update,including the historical waterfront,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...55/texture.png
I am working on some new Texts. to! any comments?

It looks awesome!

It must be the textures, the bigger they are, the more space they take up? Honsely Staunton's textures are very small, and dont look too good up close.

Thanks! weird thing is,the only sighn of lag is shadows,an textures going away,which i just started doing:banana: Im going to base it of san franssco.

new 300 foot hotel

That building is very nice.
