Emporisize some buildings.

CGII · #**143** Posted **Jul 25, 2006, 12:38 AM**

If you're doing requests, could you do an SSP-esque photographed walking tour?

Bergenser · #**147** Posted **Jul 25, 2006, 12:05 PM**

I really liked the city "walk"

Patrick · #**148** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 2:51 AM**

Thanks! I'll make more Emporis Pages soon ThreeHundred

Staunton is in the middle of a huge rain storm.

foxmtbr · #**149** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 2:59 AM**

Uh oh!

Patrick · #**150** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 7:45 AM**

Emporis Building of the new Towers of Callahan Park/McArthur Hill

These are more detailed

Dose anyone else have any city picture requests? Or perhaps dose anyone want to see any other buildings emporized? Just look at the skyline pictures and tell me what building you want to see emporized

foxmtbr · #**151** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 7:54 AM**

Those are great!

I'd love to do this any requests!?

CGII · #**153** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 7:01 PM**

A non photo request would be to see a shorter neighbourhood across the river from downtown, behind the Jefferson Park co-ops, those skyscrapers in Jefferson Park would make a great Gold Coast...

Just an observation.

Patrick · #**154** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 8:38 PM**

I meant any photo requests or buildings with emporis pages.

And those towers will only line parts of the coast, Industry and some suburbia is going behind those towers

I need your guys opinion. I recladed the JC Summit Tower, is it better or worse?

The New Reclad causes the nearby Stuanton Financial Center to be recladded, because they will look too simular..

Downtown is coming to a close, (buildings are getting lower, we are getting closer to suburbia)

This is McArthur Hill, seen on page 6, there are some really tall condominium towers in this district (probably the last of the tallest in the city

Heres a cool shot of the 21st Century Tower

Here is my first panorama more soon

CGII · #**155** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 8:45 PM**

Awesome work, as usual! Do you have an estimate of the Staunton metro population?

foxmtbr · #**156** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 9:14 PM**

To answer your question, I think the towers look better now. Nice job!

Patrick · #**157** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 9:16 PM**

Hmm I've been thinking about that. Here are my guesses

City Population - Stuanton New Jersey
2,786,916

Metro Population - Stuanton-Arlington-Irvingdale-Newport Metropolitan Area
12,874,003

I didnt want the city to be larger than Chicago, LA, or New York, I was going to put it in the 3 millions but thats too much, plus look at Chicago, more skyscrapers than LA but less people.

Stuanton was once the thrid largest city in the USA, until the 1999 Worldwide Financial Crisis.

Staunton has a simular population to Chicago's but has, smaller city pop, larger meto pop.

Patrick · #**158** Posted **Jul 26, 2006, 11:17 PM**

Thanks Foxmtbr!

Holy Fricken Jesus Christ. Those are amazing. And, if possible, could you turn off the big black outlines on the buildings? Those white outlines shouldn't happen if you have the shadows on, and if you do have the shadows on, you can just make the shadows slightly darker and it usually fixes the problem as well as bring out more depth.

Totally amazing.
