why is that mo?

It adds realism and if you're serious about modelling you have to get used to it

But if you can't be assed blending the lobby levels into the landscape i can do that for you.
If you want tips on how to just ask.


whyteknight/Skyscraper100 - any chance you can do a quick drawing on this map of your proposal ? Maybe just talk more about the style and colours

**Same for all future proposals^^^.

whtyenight - I think for a 12 floor building would be best in the pink area maybe because there are 2 others around 12 floors close by.

[Mocholate]

Made a start on my car lot.Although you can't see much in the pic I'm wondering if i should give it a facade on the street side to hide uglies?.

[Mocholate]

I forgot to mention the blocks ready for development have a flat surface underneath that fits right between the sidewalk if you push/pull up.

[Mocholate]

I was hoping in the residential area we can use more hills and create an area familiar with San francisco.

[Skyscraper100]

hi mo
can you give me an available space?
or can i place mine everywhere?
thanks

[Mocholate]

Depends on what style and size !

Here is my plan based on the suggestions and some of mine. This image is also open for suggestion.


Tallest is around 300m/1000ft. Mine is 75m/240ft.

The center divider should be 1 block further upwards, oops.
It could take a while to get to stage 4 !

[Mocholate]

A clean map for doodling.

[Skyscraper100]

ok heres mine,... well its not detailed like others here but i tried my best haha

its an old office building, 11 floors, not sure bout the size, ill resize it nalang.



btw its located here

[Skyscraper100]

oh btw heres an old shot haha

Marso 12, 1962

[Mocholate]

Yes, resize it or add some more to it. And teach me how to render like that nalang.
I think it's too nice for an office building !

[Skyscraper100]

haha thanks

ok ill renovate it, you think white will fit to that building?

[OllyRogers]

I might have a crack at a small/ medum building for the fringe of downtown - anyone got the standard height for each floor on here?

[Austin55]

I would love a lot(partial) with a hill, I may also do a waterfront museam aswell.

Those layouts look great, maybe there should be an ocean?

[Ducov]

I wouldn't mind doing one of those mid height historical ones

Also I think it would be a good idea to keep this one river orientated, that way it can be a bit like a denser tulsa or kansas city

[Aleks]

Mo you made the best plan so far! Although many of those Modern and Historical>Modern would be financial anyways. The CBD should be the area where all the tall high-rises are located with a few residential and hotels.

The "Food District" should be more of a "Shopping District" in my opinion. The mid and low-rises on the "Financial District" [red parts nest to the large bridge] should be a city college with a few apartment buildings for students and good shopping scene [because young people are scene of course].



Basically what I'm saying is...
Quadrant 1: Historic/Shopping/Some Residential/Health
Quadrant 2: Mainly Financial including Central Business District [CBD]/High-rise residential and hotels.
Quadrant 3: Large park/Some Office High-rise/Major University with student housing/Random Residential/"Scene Shopping"
Quadrant 4: A waterfront/Residential in "Sanfancisco"/a mid-sized mall with theaters.

Also, a large train station should go next or near the Hospital.

[Mocholate]

Ok Aleks

I'll do an official map in the next few days then we can start to assign lots to people.

Austin

OllyRogers, 3.8m/12.5ft - 4.2m/14ft is pretty safe i think.

Before i detail the window/doors i thought i'd check with y'all about ma lot.





The small one could do with height scaling.

[treras93]

These are all great ideas! I think this SSP city will be tons better cause its so much more planned than the last one!

anyway... great job Mo and Skyscraper. it all looks awesome.

also, as for my proposal, the more i look at the building, the less i like it. So i'm going to start another one. One question though, can i put a parking lot in mine too, or would it be way too close to Mo's?

And should we use a certain tree to keep it consistent throughout, or will you just put the trees in for us when you get our blocks Mo?

[Mocholate]

That happens !

I reckon 2 close carparks sounds real but a 3rd might be a crowd and we'll get enough consistency from the sidewalk and trees I add to the main parks. Most real buildings have unique plantings so go ahead and use your own as long as they are 3D and perform well.

Anyway, i just use the smart tree in 3D warehouse.

[BoiseAirport]

If something happens and I won't be able to compile my building models together on my future new computer, I'll be happy to donate any number of my buildings I've made for Pierpont to the SSP City.

[Vellu]

The plan looks good - as does the rest of your block.

* * *
My building is now done. I had no specific lot in mind, so you can put it anywhere it fits - as long as it is a corner lot. These two sides should face a street:


These two sides should face an alley or another building (you can delete the components that won't be visible):


If the lot is level, you can hide/delete these stairs:

If it needs anything, let me know.
