La Corte

[Dac150]

I cannot wait to see it completed. It's quite a large developement, and I would typically think its too un-realistic in size. However, after seeing what Dubai is doing, it seems proportional.

[Aleks]

Yeah, I know but I still want to add fantasy to my city!

I have a problem, should I add cored to my tower or leave them without cores? I want them to have cores because it's realistic. Duhh,, but I don't want to add cores because they take up memory from my computer!!!
So, cores or no cores?

[Dac150]

I would prefer cores, but if they don't agree with your computer, then it's up to you.

[Mocholate]

i think the glass should not be transparent enough to be able to see the core
'Building energy use' fits into your environmental outlook also

[Aleks]

I don't put cores on some but then I can't build them up because every time I add a section there is no core to hold the crane or anything of the sort. Once towers are done you can barely see the core.

I'll post another update tomorrow,

Maybe just be like what Puerto Rico is to the U.S. except the government in La Corte gets all the income and has a no passport policy to travel here.

HAHA!!! civil war!! REVOLUTIOn!!!!!

Im a bit behind on whts up now,so Ill waait for the next update to post more

The Diamond Crescent group recently decided to built in La Corte. The Tower will be an 800 foot tower and is the first out of two or more towers to be built.

La Corte Plaza:
The city recently approved the construction of a new complex called La Corte Plaza which will insure that companies along with people move to the city. The complex includes 3 towers, 1 residential/hotel which is the tallest, and 2 office towers each 850 ft. tall. Three big companies are currently being supported by the city to move to the complex but none are known yet.

That complex is probably the best one you've ever done. It's just very well planned and the designs are very pristine. And that parking garage is great!

[Aleks]

Thanks, I wanted to do something new but traditional so I tried Post Modern. I also wanted to try something new, so I changed the design on some of the crowns. Like many complexes I wanted to make all the buildings look similar, I guess I should have at least painted the garage.

Does it looks like something realistic?

[Austin55]

it looks awesome!love the crowns. Diamond tower should be sweet

[Aleks]

The Diamond tower is O.K. in my opinion. Not the best anyways I just wanted to start a new page before posting new updates.

[Patrick]

I'm lovin the La Corte Plaza. I really like La Corte, its so creative yet realaistic in a Dubai way.

[Aleks]

Thanks, I wish the city was started in the 1700's but I guess I screwed it up. Oh, well, that's why almost none of the buildings have a history other than needing space.

[Aleks]

Thank You.

[foxmtbr]

Wow. You have some absolutely-friggin'-awesome designs there. Great work.

[rbowk]

nice work

[Austin55]

pretty nice.on the random shot you thought was cool,if you scroll it looks like a slitheren snake.

my three biggest complants

1.I dont like the tallest
2 to colotful
3to many horizontal lines

[Aleks]

Lol, I thought my city was a little too colorful too. Don't worry I'll try to add more buildings like La Corte Plaza.

The wave is the first building I make that has balconies. There are a lot of horizontal lines but with out them you wouldn't be able to see the floors cause I don't use textures.

Anyways, plans are on the way for Punto Oeste (West Point) which was founded way before La Corte so in the next month or so I'll post updates on it.

[Dac150]

The 1st avenue tower is a real beauty. All your designs are amazing. La Corte is really coming together nicely.
