    Paul - Thank you so much! I was going to ask if anyone would export it for me if I couldn't add those two lacking views manually. But I gave it another try and max not only exported FPO but did it in less time than previously. o.O

    Somethimes I think my computer is just malicious. >.<

    Kifflom - Thank you :)

    So, as I said I exported night view, tonight I will export maxis night version and then FPO will go to STEX, at long least.

    The City Hall Park Fountain is practically finished, just needs some nightlights.

If they are not inspired by the past of our city, where will they find the strength to fight for her future? Americans care about their past, but for short term gain they ignore it and tear down everything that matters. Maybe… this is the time to take a stand, to reverse the tide, so that we won't all end up in a uniform world of steel and glass boxes." - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

    Thank you Brandon :)

    I'm sorry for your waiting guys, I had FPO ready to making stats and all but I spoted an error. Attic story in one of annex pavillons had space with carved quote instead of windows as it should be. So I need to re-export the building :(

    I also have a question, I wanted to make FPO as functional landmark, there are two tutorials on ST about that, can someone tell me which one is better?

    The Post Office is ready for making lots and stats...how I hate this part. Anyway, I just dropped by with a small announcement:

    I don't know what it is but I like it.  :)

     

     

    For modding, it's easiest to use PIMX from SC4Devotion, and follow those instructions.  Basically, like in the normal plugin manager you can drag and drop your model into a category to make something, PIMX has categories for ploppables, so you can just drag and drop your model into the right plop with jobs category.  It's very easy once you see what to do, so if you have any questions you can ask me.  :)

    Glad to hear the Post Office is coming soon ;)

    And your new building is already impressive so far, but it's not the public library because the building front wasn't like this.

     

    Here is the Public Library, see the deference ;)

    Ok, nobody guessed so far so I will not reveal which building it is just yet ;) You probably will guess with next update which should be here later today or tommorow.

     

    Thank you Jason, I didn't even know where to start. You really helped me. :)

     

    Hanson - No, sadly it isn't NYPL, The Library still waits for its turn, I only made block model of it :)

     

    Brandon - Thank you. No, you are too far north on manhattan map :D

     

    Aaron - Thank you and yes, I already responded to your PM with a question :)

    Well, a bit delayed but I have an update :)

     

    First my mystery-project. I would say that 50% of modeling job is done;

     

    render-04_zps8586a585.jpg?t=1360787083

     

    And University Club where I resumed the work on textures:

     

    render-15_zpsd7c3b60c.jpg?t=1360787111

     

    I also played a bit with carvings on the columns but I dropped it because it won't be visible in game anyway:

    Thank you, thank you! The building was great! I may have a few pictures of it from when I was there if that'll help any.

    unclesahm - Yes, it's Hotel Pennsylvania :)

    libellibicus - Thanks!

    Parisian - I still have some hope that they will renovate the hotel...but I'm probably being ridiculously naive with that :(

    Aaron Graham - Thank you Aaron! :)

    Sgt Pepper - Do you by any chance have pictures of the interior? I'm curious how it looks like now :)

    Darknono35 - Thank you :)

    Vlasky - Thank you :) I didn't know that Hotel Penn has so many fans ;) And thanks a lot for the photo! It shows the glass house on the second arm of the building which I would like to recreate.

     

    So, Farley Post Office is finally on STEX so ... I may start working on Municipal Building ;) Meanwhile I have an update from University Club - I know you guys are probably much more interested in Hotel Penn but I didn't do much since last update.

    perhaps not be ashamed that people demolish historic buildings for monetary gain, to destroy a building with that old tanbien demolish a part of the identity of the city.
