Staunton - A Google SketchUp City

I like the pyramind of the new one, but nothing beats that pillar concept you had going for the previous version. Either one looks good though. Good job!

As for City Hall, I like the old one better. The higher pyramid looks nicer. Too bad the textures got messed up. They looked awesome in the building.

I liked the talller pyrimid,but the columns look better.

yeah,there always a little bit of galcorp in every pic. Reminds me of chicago with Hancock and Sears.

[Jarrod]

Wow... I looked at almost every page... AMAZING STUFF MAN!! MAD PROPS!

[Austin55]

I concur

[Patrick]

Thanks!

No update, just a flashback to February, this was City Hall back then.

[Aleks]

Wow, it looks so.......dirty. Great chance though. From then to now it looks way better now. Oh, what's that red building right of City Hall in the background?

[Patrick]

^That was Shneif Towers, a luxurious Residential tower, oh I miss Shneif Towers, but there is simply nowhere to put it, maybe in a central park styled district?

I'm planning the peninusla to go like this

Downtown > Arts/Soho Styled Districts > Centennial Park > Staunton Square > Midtown > Industry/Slums

Another shot of the Civic Center. This is from City Hall Park, now explanded to two city blocks, making this view possible. The park still needs to be created, for now its just two empty blocks.

Was the area of Staunton above based off of an area of Chicago? It looks really good. I've always liked that setup, and think it does good to your cityscape.

[Aleks]

I think it's based off New York. My city (West Point) is also based off New York (in a way) and La Corte was based off an old grid of Chicago.

Do you know how to use Kerk Patrick?

[Dac150]

^^^^^^^^^
I know. I just meant that trio of buildings. It reminds me of a trio in Chicago (don't know the names).

[Austin55]

Love GSB

I've never noticed that! No, they werent based off of it, I just fount out about that cluster like a week ago, Its very facinating, but those three buildings just came into cration, the middle white one will be replaced soon, I'm not digging it.

This is the oppisite view, looking from City Hall Park. Five roads converge right at the center of this pic, I need a name for the Square, its just a little patch of public space in between five roads, kinda like Callahan Square.



Two new buildings, no name yet

[Aleks]

You don't like Kerk? I've used it a couple of times and the renders come out nice.

On the first picture the building with the dome looks like the Washington Mutual Tower here in Seattle. I like that. I also like you changed the top and dimensions to not make it look like a rip-off.

[Mocholate]

How bout the good old Aussie 'name it what it is' and call the intersection 'The 5 ways'

Love the nonames - guess they are Modern-Deco hey ?

[Dac150]

They look more neo-classic to me, but with some variations of modern. Very nice.

[Aleks]

Whatever they are they look nice. Hmm...Post Modern (the tall one) I'm guessing?

[Austin55]

sorta reminds me of what peter used to do. the texyures are nice and clear nowand the trees are a nice touch.

[foxmtbr]

Awesome new buildings!
