Thanks to all, I'm trying to make all the glass in my buildings transparent do you can tell where floors end and where they start when I disable lines. Ummm.. Would the main towers be considered a type of art deco design?

main towers? sorta.

very cool , i hope you work out how to use kerk soon because all that glass will make for some nice renders

This all is very impressive! I really like the Main towers and those green twins with the beige fins, but are you sure that the sony and trump towers are only 155 ft to the top?

Aleks · #**166** Posted **Sep 1, 2007, 6:53 PM**

Sorry I meant 855 ft. not 155. Must have missed it. I try to be as specific as I can in my typing. I also like to type properly I don't know why.

Honestly, I'd make another Trump Tower. Trump is luxury, and not that I'm downing your design, but its looks like a 60's office tower as oppose to a luxury highrise.

Thats my opinion.

Aleks · #**168** Posted **Sep 1, 2007, 7:12 PM**

Good, I like being critized, the building is supposed to look like a 60's building but with a more modern design. In this case the building doesn't go straight up all 4 sides but at 750-775 the building has a gap in between two sections of the tower. If I could use Kerk. It would awesome but I cant. I thought it was a little too bland but then I remembered about the Tump World Tower in N.Y.

Dac150 · #**169** Posted **Sep 1, 2007, 7:18 PM**

I'm a big fan of the Trump World Tower. Personally I feel it's the best building built in this decade, so why not color the Trump Building in Black, and put "TRUMP" in gold letters on top of the building.

Aleks · #**170** Posted **Sep 1, 2007, 7:27 PM**

I know it's O.K. designers and architects disagree all the time so it's natural. I thought about writing TRUMP in gold at the top but the realized that since it's a luxury tower people wont buy a condo next to a Huge glowing sign. Maybe I'll darken the glass but not completely. I want people to be able to see where floors start/end when I disable lines.

Awsome job on the Dream Tower!

Peter · #**172** Posted **Sep 2, 2007, 6:39 AM**

Yes, the Main Towers would be considered deco. obviously not something out of the 20s or 30s, but still deco nonetheless.

just understand that architectural styles aren't either this way or that way. it's all really more abstract that that, some being categorized under more than one style for example.

the gardens inside the sony towers are cool.

keep it up

Aleks · #**173** Posted **Sep 4, 2007, 7:00 PM**

OMG this thread is going dead!!! Oh, well I'll update on the weekend because school starts tomorrow!

Aleks · #**174** Posted **Sep 11, 2007, 12:06 AM**

Lol, I've got more updates but it's awesome that the Forum is back. I got done with a couple of towers and my city if filled in more. Umm, I'll wait for somebody to post another comment after this one so that when I post updates they will be in a new page.

foxmtbr · #**175** Posted **Sep 11, 2007, 3:14 AM**

^ Go for it.

Aleks · #**176** Posted **Sep 11, 2007, 4:32 AM**

Lol, O.K. I'll post them tomorrow (Tuesday local time) I hope you like the ne buildings I'm about to post.

Austin55 · #**177** Posted **Sep 12, 2007, 12:46 PM**

I figured out,LA Corte means "to Cut" in spanish

also,your city doesnt have a monorail,it has a doublerail!

Aleks · #**178** Posted **Sep 12, 2007, 10:57 PM**

Lol it can mean that, but in this case La Corte stands for The Court. I said it when I posted this thread. I chose it cause it sounds like a city that would attract the rich. K. I'll update soon. Maybe today. Peace.

FREKI · #**179** Posted **Sep 12, 2007, 11:35 PM**
