The Southwest Plaza is a 19-story office building facing the San Mateo Park. It is a home for several smaller companies. This 279 ft (85 m) high building was completed in 1978. It was the tallest building in Navaho Springs at that time and still today it is the second tallest occupied building (two taller buildings are currently under construction).

Wow, this is amazing, I love the attention to detail, specifically on street level, and also the detail on the buildings is brilliant. Keep up the good work!

Yes, besides the building details, the street work is amazing! Well done Vellu!

God! I love the plaza, aaaaah its all so perfect!

Vellu · #48 Posted **Mar 23, 2009, 4:38 PM**

Thank you very much!

We will see how long I can go on with this level of detail. One of the reasons I chose to do a smaller city, was the fact that I wanted to be able to model the areas around downtown as well, without running out of polygons.

The Navaho Springs Music Hall was completed in 1988. It's Navaho Springs' main venue for classical and popular music concerts alike - although the biggest names usually perform at the NSMN Arena outside downtown. The Music Hall also houses city's cultural offices.

Here's a view of Main Street lookin northeast.

i like the way you put in the little hill,my laptop would have given up by now with all that detail.im scanning each pic for a bit of imperfection,can't find any....very clean and geometricaly sound

Second to none when it comes to attention to detail and style.

I think, the 565 Main Street took about eight hours.

did you do the inside? Did you even use components?

Dude, you are amazing! My computer would explode if I had that much detail in my models!

Didn't do the insides, the building's just an empty shell. But I used a lot of components.

The filesize is 2.5 MB. I guess that's a lot smaller than most cities here, so I hope I still have a long way to go before my computer explodes.

I use a lot of components and layers to keep the file manageable. The cars and the people are just props for the shots. I always delete them after I've exported the model to KT.

any chance of an aerial pic over the few buildings uve done

Vellu · #57 Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 1:17 PM**

The NSMN Building at the southwest corner of Main Street and Arizona Avenue was built for the Navaho Springs Media Network, owner of the Navaho Springs Gazette, NS Channel 6, and several local radio stations, in 1988.

I wasn't going to show you an aerial yet, because I can't give one without showing the undeveloped areas - a thing I'm trying to avoid. On the other hand there's more to the buildings than I have shown, so an aerial is a good way to way to show you everything that's going on. Plus Toyota asked for it, so here it is. Sorry for the plain rooftops.

at last a bit of imperfection, plain rooftops

Great work, by the way, how long in meters are your square blocks?

toyota74 · #59 Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 5:48 PM**

Those blocks are 80x80 meters, or 90x90 if you count the sidewalks.

Here's one of the oldest remaining buildings in downtown Navaho Springs. The Iglesia de Santa Maria - or St.Mary's Church - was completed in 1889.
