i really like it! definately not ugly, just unique . it can be a city-icon building for it's uniqueness. or, maybe shrink it down really small and make it a monument of some sort? that should help the filesize also.

[Peter]

ver cool TMI HQ you have made quite a few buildings lately! now how about a skyline shot so we can see it all?

[Peter]

double post sorry. please ignore

[Mocholate]

thanks ,, ok brb

[Mocholate]

ok i put these 3 up because its a bit hard to see what looks best cos i have my pc hooked up to my Plasma Tv which makes somelines distort + i think my little video card has something to do with crappy edges and stuff
I have some more buildings to put in but i cant do it till i up-spec the PC

[Mocholate]

and my lonely bridge this city is an island and after the chatty job the bridge contractors did on this bridge the city has decided to build tunnels in future

[Peter]

it looks awesome! all your buildings are unique. (the image was kinda dark but i opened it in photoshop and increassed the brightness ) also i thought of something cool while looking at it. those two black twin towers that are seperated by the river, how about making a walkway that connects them? i dunno, i had just thought of that. i think it'd be cool. and the bridge is as unique as the buildings. i like

[Mocholate]

thanks , i'm rying to make them all look kind of modern

i was thinking about doing that with the twins , but the span is about 200 metres

next time i'll put the light meter up a bit thanks for the tip



Edit:the next comment by Peter does not fit because i edited this post

[Peter]

volcano explains the mountains then

it's like Hawaii

[Mocholate]

yeah , i never thought its like Hawaii i'll have to add some good beaches ..

The volcano formed an atol shape , the flat land is all land fill

Rawson Hotel -Merita Island - 310m to roof - 475m to top

[Patrick]

Ooh Nice!

[Peter]

that is honestly one of the coolest designs i've seen so is this a new city? if so, why another new one? i really liked the buildings in the other.

[Mocholate]

thanks , i was impressed also :B

sorry to confuse , all the ones here that aren't in the Sydney model i refer to as 'Merita Island' . I'll make a thread when its all done :B


Latest additions to Merita Island

Airport-City link Ferry terminal


And i need a name for my coaster - although it might be incorporated into a hotel - so i'll name it after the hotel







the Hotel is at the top of the hill - the coaster's pulley part which takes you to the top is at the end of the ride

[Peter]

wow! i have no idea how you made that. stunning work!

[Mocholate]

thanks , i will admit ,it was a TOTAL pain in the ass , but i noticed there was a lack of decent coasters in the 3D warehouse , so i thought i'd spend some decent time on it
it involved extensive use of the follow me tool and protractor to create the twists i think i put roughly 14 hours into it
