I think it's perfectly fine really.

Just playing with some animations but a bit shaky!

*Piolo Tower animation moved to previous page*

Looks neat, animations rock.

What's a piolo anyway?

Love it. It looks amazing! Did you ever go into studying architecture?

Mocholate · #**245** Posted **Feb 14, 2009, 1:15 PM**

Interestingly i did study 'technical drawing' as we call it in study but my teacher was an asshole and i left it.. yes you Mr Morley

I chose home science then went on to be a chef. I'm 28 and not sure if you all know that.

Piolo just came from making names in a Homer Simpson kind of way!

GGC Police station - concept only.

one great thing about ur skyline is the placing of your towers..luv that thier not all cramped together,u leave nice gaps here n there,giving all the buildings great height...so too the skyline...looks impressive....plus where do you gat the not too cloudy skys

Vellu · #**252** Posted **Feb 21, 2009, 5:14 PM**

All those buildings are very beautiful, but the Macquarie Group Limited especially catches my eye. I can't be more specific, but it's simply breathtaking!

Patrick · #**253** Posted **Feb 21, 2009, 8:08 PM**

Will you ever bring back the sexy HSBC Building?

Mocholate · #**254** Posted **Feb 22, 2009, 10:10 AM**

Thanks dudes - The Macquarie Group building will go for some more window detail along with HSBC which is actually hiding behind Aon tower there in the pic, but nothing else i have made in the past will come into this city apart from the Piolo tower from the comp.

The focus is having the infrastructure/layout/density of Dubai but as a business district/centre (minus the environmental impact).

Aleks · #**255** Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 3:28 AM**

Those are awesome. I like your city planning. And the wayy you plan on designing your city grids and whatnot.

I would suggest adding some Miami styled towers, or Hong Kong styled residential towers while. You know, the residential towers are mostly plain with small windows while the office towers are glass and fancy. I don't mean fill it like this, but some 'solid' looking buildings would add a better and more realistic feeling to the city.

feeel the same way, but i'm 24. I always knew we were the only geezers, and southern hemispherists, in this subforum (I think Dac's a little younger but IDK)

On the city: It just looks so consistent and realistic, I love your BIG AUSTRALIAn concept of doing big blocks, a lot of air flowing through the towers and so on.
As always: hat off sir

Went on holidays. Came back to a dead PC !?!

Only SSP city is on external memory - Had to start again on GGC. Gettin pretty sick of this shit

N thanks , yeah it makes me cry to hide buildings behind others.

Aleks · #**258** Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 9:23 AM**

Mo! What Holiday did you celebrate? April's Fools?

And that sucks! It's happened to me once and it better not happen again or imma shoot Bill Gates for creating crappy computers.

Not really, but great to have you back. Vertical has been gone for a while too!

Mocholate · #**259** Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 9:34 AM**

ha. Thanks, i'm looking forward to viewing all the updates in here, eventually!

Just took a break before the easter break comes

I'm going to email models to myself or hide them in 3D warehouse from now on.

This is the 5th time for me!

Aleks · #**260** Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 9:35 AM**

I thought about doing that. Why not get an external hard drive?
