I updated my future Hamilton skyline render that I originally posted back in June. The location was revealed for Hamilton's new tallest, the 44-floor Hamilton Hammer, so I added it in along with a shorter 23-floor tower that is part of the same development.

Looks very cool. Did you include Centre Point, Glass House, D Condos, and Heritage Landing in there too? If not, would that be possible? Or would they even be noticeable?
I still have to make models of the others, but i doubt they would be very noticeable anyhow
I'm envious of Winnipeg and its up to date 3D model system.. My renders would look so much better if all of the existing buildings were done like they are in Winnipeg (as well as vancouver, calgary, and edmonton)..
I guess all I can do is sit and wait for Google to update.

maybe try switching to 3d legacy image mode, there would be a whole load of missing winnipeg buildings if i didnt, but as soon as i switched i was satisfied.
reders all structures that were photographed, and even the tress and houses in the distance
yup they haven't done the update for Toronto with that type of 3D model yet, it still runs on user generated models and the old building maker software. Google is still in the process of updating with the new model kind, and they have been focusing a lot more on the west coast, with degrading commonality of models as you move east. Almost every Californian city over 100,000 people is 3D, but yet they are still missing the fourth largest city in NA.
funny enough the eastern GTA has been done (Pickering, Oshawa, parts of Markham and Scarborough) but not the central city. Montreal was just updated to it in the last few weeks as well, so I feel Toronto is probably going to be done very soon.
No one has posted again yet so I decided to share another model. This is one of those buildings that has a big spot in the skyline, but can ruin it if it doesn't fit in well enough.
A quick and dirty image of what is u/c or coming soon.

I know I won't make any friends by saying this, but looking at that image I feel like Edmonton should concentrate on mid-rises for the next decade or so to get rid of all those surface parking lots everywhere.

The same could be said about most cities in the West (looking at you, Saskatoon). I don't know how it is elsewhere, but surface lots are the bane of downtowns in the Prairies.
I've always thought Edmonton's skyline looks great. Should be really nice once it expands some more.

Indeed, although from the photo 13 of them will see the reaper from these developments. Mid-rise economics are tough downtown.

^ It's a Prairie problem for the most part. Ottawa & Vancouver have some of the least parking-lotted downtowns in all of Canada, Montreal & Toronto are also pretty filled in.

Exactly. I wouldn't really say Montreal's are any more filled in than Calgary's, except for the ocean of parking along our tracks maybe. All are slated for development in both cities though, I believe. Up until the late 2000s, Toronto was probably the most parking lot'd city in the country for a while. Obviously I can't verify that though. Just pictures.
