Looks great! kent looks huge. I try and never post empty shots. I think it ruins a nice picture. What if you see a pic of new York where half the city
is white?

I'm at a loss with you guys, your being ridiculous. No one cares about just one shot, and all these cities are really not realistic looking at all, so what the big deal is I don't know.

i have to agree with austin i mean yea like if ur on a quest to make it look perfect or more real then you dont want it to be empty. no offense,i was just agreeing with the advice just zoom and move to the side for the shoot with out any white but your still doing an amazing job

Old Staunton! This is the first Staunton ever, I believe only Foxmtbr and CGII have witnessed. The thread is long gone, so are all the renders

Tanster · #**1665** Posted **Feb 13, 2008, 1:50 AM**

WOW Staunton has some history.

Jarrod · #**1666** Posted **Feb 13, 2008, 2:16 AM**

It sure does! It's fantastic!

nice update looking good

treras93 · #**1669** Posted **Feb 17, 2008, 6:33 PM**

Glorious!

great textures (as usual) great buildings, great everything.

Ducov · #**1670** Posted **Feb 17, 2008, 7:22 PM**

Those are great views of the skyline, you really get a sense of it's scale.

Mocholate · #**1671** Posted **Feb 18, 2008, 12:41 PM**

Great shots , i agree with the no white spaces mainly because the area in focus you will eventually show pics of later - best to wait and show a full shot

I hope one day you do some sort of complete overview of Staunton , even make a book ?

Patrick · #**1672** Posted **Feb 23, 2008, 11:05 AM**

Oh Sketchup how you've taught me to hate again.

Well obviously I'm not updating as much as I used to, I've noticed with the slowdown of my work on Staunton has made me appreciate life more, until opening it up tonight and ruining another once good mood. When's version 7 coming out? maybe it can run faster, maybe the shadows can be improved.

Ganton View

A neighborhood close to the TriBECA and Soho of NYC, (gotta find names for Staunton's hoods) but Granton View is a neighborhood marking the transition from Downtown to Central Staunton.

Many of the older buildings are being converted into lofts. To the left is the secretive United Defense Systems Building, currently in the process of moving its offices to a more secretive location in suburbia. Center is the Cartyle Hotel and Wentworth Building, to the right is the 1001 Wakefield Street, currently under conversion to the Wentworth Lofts.

Another look in its proximity to downtown.

Very nice! i like the building with the green roof, and i love the GSB in the background

Dac150 · #**1674** Posted **Feb 23, 2008, 4:29 PM**

Looks great Patrick, glad to see an update. The buildings flow well, which is something you are very good at accomplishing. That is one of the qualities that make Staunton a city you look at and question wether it is real or not.

Patrick · #**1675** Posted **Feb 24, 2008, 8:48 AM**

Thanks!

The re-textured (done a while ago) three towered Collin's Center, including the Slovak Building, Clark Foundation Building, and Collins Center Lindham Suites Hotel, viewed from the Staunton Island Ferry.

Dont mind this, just some company names I came up with, but have no buildings to label with them yet, so they're just here in case I forget.

- Horton Enterprises
- Bloyd Entertainment
- Callahan Communications
- Allied American Industries

Staunton just loves big greedy companies.

Dac150 · #**1676** Posted **Feb 24, 2008, 3:28 PM**

I love the diverse architecture in that shot.

Austin55 · #**1677** Posted **Feb 24, 2008, 9:41 PM**

wow,I really love those matching towers you put with the conention center. Slovak is one ugly beast,but it fits in well.

today,I saw a 10-13 story building that looked exactly like Kyat.

Edi;after seeing what treres said, I wanna see more Lloyd!

Derek · #**1679** Posted **Feb 25, 2008, 1:15 AM**

There is a reason I haven't checked this thread in a long time. I am impressed.

I love this shot. It's so reminiscent of New York City, with it's slender art deco towers, punctuating a malaise of light sixties modernism, and heavy, ponderous 70's corporate mega-boxes.

It so real! and great because of it.
