Thanks guys!

 

SimCoug  - Aren't FAR pieces just curved roads at 90° and 45°? (I'm sorry, I'm terribly behind with some aspects of CC for SC4 )

 

Parisian - I'm not sure if I mentioned that The light well was there before the widening of Fifth Avenue (around 1909). Because I like how it looked before they removed it (along with the balustrade around it) I included it in the model. Personally I'm not against cars, they are splendid invention, but I don't like when cities are transformed according to car traffic. Removing all those fences, front lawns, porticoes etc. along Fifth Avenue took much of its charm.

 

I will post update on the next building soon

Actually there are two FAR angles:

FAR 2 has an angle of about 26.5°

FAR 3 has an angle of about 18.5°

(diagonal roads are of course 45°)

 

These correspond to the NAM FAR networks (Fractional Angle Roads) 

But if your building looks good rendered at either of those angles I'd be happy to take care of the lotting/modding.

Thank your for that information Seraf. I ignored it.

 

I have the same thing with the Woodstock Tower of Tudor City. In the past there was a sort of spiky pinnacle on top that no longer exists right now. 

Fifth avenue was full of wonderful mansions and buildings before they destroy most to build skyscrapers. That's a shame for most of them.

 

Here a picture just for the nostalgy :

 

 

Anyway, thanks again for that wonderful release. Keep it up for the next ones.

City Hall Park Fountain is ready to upload... well, almost I'll upload it as soon as I'm finished with modding

 

Winter version of the fountain:

What a pity... Development is concentrated at the place with high land value. Considering the relatively new city, the frequency of urban renewal in some places is comparatively high.

[Parisian 549]

Seraf, the fountain is amazing. I love it.

 

Is it you who also started to realize the one at south central park/Columbus circle? 

[SimCoug 5,972]

It's a beaut!  

[Darknono35 3,137]

Now, of course since you are finished with that comes the question.. whats next? =)

[Seraf 1,238]

cmdp123789 - Thanks I have a few ideas

 

[maikeli.1 12]

is that the manhattan muncipal buildings base ?

[jmsepe 2,038]

Nice fountain, although it's quite small but still very well detailed. Congratulations.

[HansonNY 4]

Oh the Municipal Building, that will look nice near your BAT of the US NY Supreme Court

 

BTW, what happened to the Pennsylvania Hotel you were working on a while ago?

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Looks great, I want to see you models in gray for some reason that color is so pretty before you texturing you building, I do not like that blue/green color for a color place holder, but great work as always buddy  

[cmdp123789 710]

Oh wow.. MUNICIPAL BUILDING FOR REAL?? Now thats a great idea lol!!

[tonyr 926]

jmsepe - Thank you very much

 

HansonNY - Thank you It would be nice of me to remodel the NY County Court House someday too wouldn't it? I'm still working on Hotel Penn, don't worry, I should post some update on it here soon

 

Aaron Graham - You don't like ocean green? Next render is in gray, just for you!

 

cmdp123789 - Glad you approve lol

 

tonyr - Thank you

 

Update on Municipal Building. I know it isn't much but it took a while to make it anyway

 

[SimCoug 5,972]

Awesome progress, your modeling details are superb.

[cmdp123789 710]

Awesome.. it takes time... but then again.. to build a Toyota, you need 6 hours.. to build Rolls Royce 6 months =) Keep it up, and just please, try not to disappear LOL!!

[edwardjeria 503]

great work my friend

[JakeMD 107]

Way to make me jealous

[9gruntsand1hammer 3,195]

That looks like a lot of progress for two days. The amount of detail you have put into the model is amazing.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

OMG!!! It looks so good, it's like a clay model looking forward to be fired up in the kiln.

[Seraf 1,238]

SimCoug - Thank you

 

cmdp123789 - I like the comparison Thank you!

 

edwardjeria - Thank you

 

JakeMD - Jealous about what?

 

9gruntsand1hammer - Thank you

 

Aaron Graham - Thank you!

 

I'm almost done with the base

 

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Oh my, it's looking better in each update.

 

Another thing are you using symmetry on this building. The symmetry modifier will cut the batting time in have and enable you to apply more details do to the cut in time.

[SimCoug 5,972]

The Municipal Building is going to be grand!  If i'm not mistaken, this is one of the taller buildings that you have attempted.  

Keep up the great work!

[Vlasky 1,803]

OMG! You're doing it!!! This is beyond awesome! Great job!!

[edwardjeria 503]
