I like TFR now

Grid looks ok too , imo

but yeah , you need to back away from the bright colours a bit

Love it but I think you should disable profiles so that you can see more detail.

How does this look for an apartment building and also were should it go. on the coast or the inner city? (obviously not done yet)

also what colors?

Wow kiddo, slow down. You have a lot of tall towers!. Try to save big blocks for a big complex or two or three!!! =)
Anyways, the building should go near the edge of the city in a round part because the balconies are round so it looks like it was designs to offer the best views of where ever it is.

Nice. If you have weird shaped buildings then it's better to use the intercept tool. You use it to connect non-connected edges. I'll show you how to do it later on my cities thread.

Oh, it's also better if the floors pitch (how far the bottom of the floor is from the bottom of the floor above it) stays above 10 feet.

What can i do to his building so it wont look so plain (after i put awnings, doors, etc. in)

Wilken's Tower
Height:404'
Use:Office
Floors:37
Built:2001-2002

It's fine just maybe add a logo at the top or something. It's nice though.

Patrick · #31 Posted **Sep 28, 2007, 4:35 AM**

WOW awsome detail! I suggest toneing down those colors, as the city is very colorful, a little unrealaistic.

Mocholate · #32 Posted **Sep 29, 2007, 2:31 AM**

I like the red apartments

very New York ( i think )

Aleks · #33 Posted **Sep 29, 2007, 2:33 AM**

I really like the last building. Like I said a logo would be nice.

I don't think Halston is a good name for this city because many of the towers have a Miami feel like the last one.
