Hello all, I just found this sketch up thing and wow its so freakin cool. I always used to love sim city but this is so much cooler as I can design everything myself and make it look so much more realistic.
This is the city that I am starting. I am calling it New Chesterton for no reason at all, just sounded good. I dont really know how to do all that much fancy stuff yet with sketch up but I will learn how to do it soon enough I hope. The city layout will be kinda like the layout for Chicago and it has the Aon Center which I modeled. I love the Aon Center, its one of my favorite buildings of all time

Here are some of snapshots of the very beginnings of my city.
For whatever reason it started blocking out my models when I got too close to them, it made it hard to do close up work. How do I make it not do that because it wasnt doing that earlier.
Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated. Like how to export the images in a higher quality so you dont get the little white lines on the edges of the models and just any general tips would be great appreciated.
Eventually I will detail each individual building so they look a lot more realistic than they do now but that takes a long freakin time!
One question I have is how do I download water that is reflective and how do I download trees and cars to sketch up. I downloaded them from google but cant find them in the program. Thanks.
Hope you guys enjoy watching this city expand for the years to come, haha.
