That shot of United Steel with part of the station is priceless.

Waterfront's fantastic.

And what you're looking for in a jet is not a tweaked fokker, but a harrier, Harrier.

. They are very fuel-efficient as shown here:

I dont need a harrier, your just made cause yall didnt have em in the Falklands. plus souped up Cessna jets are more cozy.

But hows that fuel-efficient ?

Well good news!! I was able to recover all (mostly, some crap from along time ago went down, who gives) of my files!! yes, if you look at 3d warehouse you can see some of the files I uploaded forr storage there, aswell as being placed on CD's and an external harddrive (a huge USB thingo flashdrive)

YAYaZZ!

You are the master!

Just more awesome shots of your city duhh!

Austin55 · #**147** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 6:18 AM**

Heres some new shots.

Down Webster Ave., from the Air. Foreground is the Southland Life tower.

From what is currently a surface lot, the center for performing arts (more on this one later) on the left, Westworth Tower mid. left.

Current skyline

This city is just amazing! I could even say perfect. Everything feels right: the architecture, the layout, the composition of the skyline, the detail. This city feels really alive. For me this is definetely one of the top three most inspiring sketchup cities. Maybe there could be more low rises, though.

I found an earlier version of Trinity City in 3d warehouse. It was very heavy for my computer, so I wonder how yours can handle this. Or maybe my computer is just utterly outdated. I think it just turned six.

Patrick · #**149** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 9:01 AM**

I'm too lazy to look it up, is Trinity City on the East or West coast, or on the Trinity River or a river?

Great work as always!

Austin55 · #**150** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 9:08 AM**

I haven't decided yet. I just sorta picked that name cause it's kinds my trademark, I'll make maps/ history n stuff sometime.

Mocholate · #**151** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 9:10 AM**

Great variety

Awesome landscaping too

Austin55 · #**152** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 9:16 AM**

I try and incorperate lots of variety and color.

Mocholate · #**153** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 9:26 AM**

I really like the one to the left of the ferris wheel

Aleks · #**154** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 7:54 PM**

Looks great! You should try removing the SU sky and adding a picture you took or you pulled off the internet. Trinity City has a small skyline, once more parts of the city are filled in this will make it an awesome city. Also, you should add some 5-15 story buildings all over so the city has a more dense feel to it.

Austin55 · #**155** Posted **Jan 24, 2009, 10:14 PM**

Well, think of LA or Dallas, theres not many lowrises around the downtown skyscraper, but to the west/southwest of botth cities theres a dense historic district.

Notice to the left (and bottom right) the abundance of older, denser building and the largely lacking of them around the tallest tower, around thanksgivning square and main street, and how there very close in hieght.

Mocholate · #**156** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 3:48 AM**

Austin55 · #**157** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 3:56 AM**

I was seriously gonna ask that, I really wonder why!

Austin55 · #**159** Posted **Jan 25, 2009, 9:26 AM**

Emporis doesnt say http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=...-dallas-tx-usa

Austin55 · #**160** Posted **Jan 31, 2009, 5:24 AM**

No Emporisy pages yet as things are not all in the right place, but in the meantime, heres the not to be forgotton uptown/historic district/ river west district, just so you remember it. (why is did I make the text so big?)

Here in the front is the U.S. Post office, the Lance Tower (wedding cake style) and a currently unnamed.

This is the United steel tower (right) and the Medical Arts Building (center, L shaped)

Heres the old ( as in real life) city pics.

That Gehry sculpture

Chase Tower, Southland Life, Pelli tower (in process of being renamed, suggestions?)

Dont look up, John Riter tower, some black box in which i forgot it name, and another and exchange place tower 1 (the south tower).

And one of my favorite in the city, W.T. Waggoner Building.

Thats all for now, ignore the trees as im experimenting with diff. ones.

Comments, suggestions wlecomed and appreciated
