2020 Hamilton looks more like Montreal than 2014 Hamilton.

Shouldn't the Conolly be visible?

thmx · #3 Posted **Jan 25, 2015, 3:55 AM**

It's there, just to the right of Landmark Place.

What a boner. Hey, you stole "repugnantcan" from me. I coined that.

I never used that stupid smiley before but I am tempted to try it:

On another note there is a weird bug on my phone and Chad's pic replace the "bold" button when I tried to reply, wtf?

I somehow thought that would be the Connaught. Got the angles seriously mixed up.

I upgraded my future Laval "skyline" picture by adding the huge "Espace Montmorency" proposal (how would you call it in English... Montmorency Plaza maybe?)
Again, it's far from perfect and only based on the few images I found on the Montoni website.

Ok, after much delay, i've got an update.

The first thing you will notice is Google Earths new 3D modelling type. This is a HUGE improvement over their old system of user created models. It did however mean some significant modifications to the model as a whole were required when it went live. Building elevations went screwy for many of my models, certain models now had 3D done by Google so they had to be removed, etc.

The new 3D type also provides much greater coverage, with most of the GTA now being in full 3D instead of just the downtown core. This means that I can now suitably expand my models coverage area, which means a large amount of new developments need to be added. I have sort of been puttering away at this, and have the St. Clair west corridor covered now as well as a bunch of midrises in the west end of the city.

Then of course there is the onslaught of development that has occurred in the last few months, and you end up with where the model is at today. 44 North, I unfortunately do not have 77 River in my model, I was not aware of that proposal until just now. I'll add it to my list of buildings that need to be modeled. You will note that One Yonge hasn't been updated to the changes yet, I decided to do this update tonight instead of fixing that.

First off, lets start out with the big one, One Bloor West. Big, Big changes coming to the north of downtown in the future.

Yonge and Eglinton continues to shoot skyward..:

Downtown west. Notice how huge of a difference the new model type makes.

Regent Park and the east end. Note the lack of 77 river.

Bayfront. This area I sort of ignored previously as Googles imagery and 3D modelling was so outdated for the area. With the update however comes a more modern look at how the area is today, which means placing models in the area is easier and it looks better in the final product as well.

Downtown East is exploding, specifically around Dundas and Jarvis of all areas.

The newly modelled St. Clair corridor:

skyline as a whole to finish it up:

What happened to the updated Edmonton rendition people were talking about?

Alegan · #14 Posted **Mar 24, 2015, 10:35 AM**

Amazing work, as always, Innsertnamehere.
Getting a bit greedy here, but perhaps you could share a few more screenshots of different angles focused on the CBD. Perhaps from the Islands or the Portlands? There is so much action going on there it is hard to imagine being in all that density!

caltrane74 · #15 Posted **Mar 24, 2015, 12:05 PM**

Yonge and College / Yonge and Dundas need to bulk up to connect the downtown Skyline to the Yorkville Skyline.

Beedok · #16 Posted **Mar 24, 2015, 1:09 PM**

Well, they've 3d scanned St Catherines if anyone has plans to set up renders there.

MonkeyRonin · #17 Posted **Mar 24, 2015, 9:19 PM**

Great work, thanks for that. Very comprehensive. Aside from 77 River, the only omission that I'm conscious of is the big 177-197 Front Street East development.

Is there a link that we can use to view it in Google Earth?

Ive got 177 in my "on hold" file as we havent heard any news on it for a while.

and no, no online file. Its pretty big. Maybe I'll eventually throw together a kmz and upload it, but not today.

You all probably know this, but what do the red, blue and yellow colours mean?

mistercorporate · #20 Posted **Mar 24, 2015, 9:48 PM**

blue = under construction
yellow = going through sales (typically needs 70% of units sold before construction can begin)
red = officially submitted proposal (going through approvals process)
