All the shots are great but that last one is gorgeous! it looks so real.

[SP]Neo · #**1942** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 5:58 PM**

the top view of staunton is so cool! i can't find any differnces to a real city.(except the white area up in the west ^^)
if you go on with this level of detail staunton will look better than the real NYC

Austin55 · #**1943** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 9:42 PM**

Heartland Plaza is so cool!

I wanna see more inner city shots like the first two and maybe some Lloyd

Aleks · #**1944** Posted **Jun 12, 2008, 10:18 PM**

That looking south shot looks really cool. Did you take the sky picture?

Patrick · #**1945** Posted **Jun 13, 2008, 1:02 AM**

So Everyone seems to be making disaster shots...

I was going to make a Fox News based picture with ANN (American News Network) with Bob O'Really but too lazy

The title was going to say something like "America's most Liberal City washed away, coincidence?"

Some boring facts

Cool news effects.

drew11 · #**1947** Posted **Jun 13, 2008, 1:11 AM**

Verry cool shot, any influence from the day after tomorrow?

Austin55 · #**1948** Posted **Jun 13, 2008, 10:02 PM**

floods are god ways to mask lack of street detail:p

That picture is sweet though even without floods

Actually I didnt, but I use it alot!

I'll try and do more inside the city shots, theyre just hard to make realalsitic.

Kent Plaza, one of my favorites, simply cause it wasnt based off of a single tower (that I rememeber). The base has an atrium, a large mall, and its famous Ice Skating Rink on the roof. The skyscraper is known well for its large KENT Enterprises sign and its highly visible from the North River. Kent Enterprises specializes in anything winter related, I still gotta figure out what this company dose, any suggestions? Its a clean company, with a good record.

The sky looks a little too clear to be a storm. Looks tight though. You should make some other type of disaster like bridge collapse or something. Even though I hate the thought of hundreds of people dying I like the thought of a city being destroyed by a giant monster or something. Can we see a skyscraper with a hole at the top?

Austin55 · #**1951** Posted **Jun 13, 2008, 11:36 PM**

It has a monsterous houstonian feel to it. Maybe you could make itcompany that sounds good and jad fa good record but is actually bad, like Enron.

verticalextropy · #**1952** Posted **Jun 14, 2008, 3:13 AM**

I love and have always loved KENT. I thought it was a cigarrete brand beforehand. I'd suggest make it a group covering from insulation products, to urban and suburban heating, and Vitamin C pills.

Cool disaster shot and very funny caption, only a little too realistic

verticalextropy · #**1953** Posted **Jun 14, 2008, 3:14 AM**

are your trees a little transparent?

Yes, tragically, so thats why they seem to appear over the water.

Raaandom shots.

The first of many signs.

Stevens Insurance on the left.

United American Avenue.

Aleks · #**1955** Posted **Jun 15, 2008, 1:23 AM**

I mean something like there was a fire a top a building and then this HUGE gas tank that people for some reason didn't know about exploded and then just a hole was made and hjejfgASGJ!

Or we can see a building with just a hole at the top like the SWFC. Just with less focus on the hole.

The last shot looks like the city is abandoned. It's dark, the buildings all have their windows turned off, it just looks eerie.

verticalextropy · #**1956** Posted **Jun 15, 2008, 5:36 AM**

cool, those green signs give it fantastic realism - more so.
KENT is an actual brand of ziggies with a very similar font, it's not that my mind spontaneously thought of nicotine...

Patrick · #**1957** Posted **Jun 16, 2008, 12:55 AM**

Austin55 · #**1958** Posted **Jun 16, 2008, 2:19 AM**

Wow,its pretty awesome to see the individual buildings. B&RT is really cool,its got theboxy flare but its not to boring. In the last Pic,that Tsll glassy one to the left of the red one Lookslike it could use some work IMO

Tanster · #**1959** Posted **Jun 16, 2008, 5:04 AM**

freaking awesome !!!!

Aleks · #**1960** Posted **Jun 16, 2008, 5:51 AM**

Great work. I also like B&RT but for some reason I really like Gellar Financial Center. Just something about it I just like. And are you talking about the 1956 building Austin? I just think it needs base and roof work.

The Atlantic Security Bank is FATT! I like it though and I don't think reclading should happen.
