Staunton - A Google SketchUp City

[Derek]

I don't get why everybody doesn't like the antennaes on Galcorp. I think they look fine.

[Aleks]

Wait. How did you get money for making a model?

Oh, and I see you like photography! I love it! I have a camera myself. Nikon D40X 10.2 megapixles, 35-200 mm lenses. It's really nice but it's one of those big bulky black ones so it's not good at school. I just say it's for yearbook. =P

What kind of camera do you have?

[Mocholate]

Yup thats what its based off of, but its overall look is very different while the massing is simular.

I was hired via 3D Warehouse. And I don't know, all I know is that it's a Sony CyberShot, one of those that can fit in your pocket, easy for school

Bahahaha no, its my moms, but apparantly its gonig to be mine, I really don't like that car, it always makes me carsick I took that pic when my mom was gonna drop me off at the homecoming game, and the car just looked great!

Yeah, maybe, I could probably fit it in somewhere, just not as prominent as the original (800 feet+).

Oh what did you expect me to look like

Well we have two new city blocks, the unnamed 55 Water Street based tower , and the GrantRoldan + Westly Hotels Plaza (quicky done, should be redone soon)

[Dac150]

Very well done. I love the Horizon Building.

Well, I live in Phoenix suburbia very far from Downtown, so theres not much to photograph skyscraper wise

Well I supposed I could add one in Cannery Park. (Your thinking of uh, Burmingham Fountian? in Grant Park, Chicago)

Its still there, although the model's kinda pointless, now that there is 3D Warehouse.

Here's the tip of the Island. Theres One Southport Plaza (1961), Two Southport Plaza (1979), and The Bank of Staunton & Trust Building (1928), (Converted into Condominums in 2004).



The Financial District

Nice. Is your avatar a picture of Phoenix from your neighborhood?

Are you going to put a model of Staunton on the 3D Warehouse?

Oh no, thats Los Angeles from the hills. The Phoenix Metro is located in virtually flat area surrouned by mountians. Phoenix is very large but not tall, the city size is bigger than New York City, Miami, and Philadelphia combined. So theres lots of space to build, meaning few skyscrapers, plus the airport is near downtown, so we have a height limit of 500 feet I believe.

In short Phoenix Metro = lame.

I can't wait to get back to LA

Boring Downtown & Midtown


Heres two pics I or my dad took when he took me to Downtown LA in 2003

[Aleks]

I'm going to L.A. next year, first time that I remember because I was like 8 when I went there and I cared little about buildings.

It would be good if they raised the height limit in Phoenix that way they can do something better with all the land like Wildlife sanctuaries or parks; Phoenix would also get a skyline and start following other cities in the path of LEED and green buildings.

I would have fun in a city like Phoenix, I would rarely be on the computer I live in Seattle and everything is expensive, but the wildlife is great I love that about Seattle. They just found a bear in the University District which is really populated for a bear to be in.

OMG! That car your mom has looks just like my moms!! WTF!OMG!BBQ! and you said you're getting that car? Sweet we'll both have Honda's if you get it cause I'm getting my moms car next year.

Questions:
Why do you like skyscrapers? and
Is your moms car a two door?

[Mocholate]

Best work yet

[Dac150]

Very nice job! L.A. is one city in the U.S. that I am dieing to get to.

[Patrick]

I've always redone the tip of the island, never satisfied with the buildings, hopefully this is the final results.

[Dac150]

Looks good to me.

[foxmtbr]

Sweet!
