Mulligan's Valley

[verticalextropy]

peter i made those gantries myself, after doing some research and taking measures from crane-related sites., so thanks!
aleks, thanks I'm still moving the pier around, not a fnal location

wright, thanks man

I'll update ASAP but probably not today

[verticalextropy]

then I added some lowrises I'll be deleting soon, but wanted to see how the juxtaposition looked:

[Aleks]

The roofs aren't tall enough so that you can see them from the ground. Make them taller but not too tall. Like the IFC in New York. I'm not sure about the trio though. Makes it look too overpowering around the other skyscrapers. Maybe keep the 2 shortest towers or one short and the tall. Bauen was really made well, you should make more buildings like that, not exactly square, but perfect in proportion, design, all fits well.

Haha, Kucci.

[verticalextropy]

yes i like the bauen my favorite.
you mean the domes of the Kong Center? I should make them taller.
I think i'll keep the trio, it'll look good when the skyline fills up, but yeah, the shorter 2 towers are nicer than the supertall.

Oh I took your advice and made the red blng thicker, and so I did with the Bauen (and added a skypool)

are the copper domes "too much"?

[Aleks]

I knew something about the red building seemed different. But yes, the dome's/pyramid's on top of the Kong Center are a little short. Make them twice the height. Is the dome of the shortest tower a perfect half circle?

[verticalextropy]

no the dome was shorter in h than a perfect circle, but then I rescaled it arbitrarilly. I will either make them higher or place a plattform below them (like a panoramic 360 restaurant, or house of worship)

[verticalextropy]

i was asking if making them golden was "too much", like too tacky or too trump

[Peter]

I like the trio. Have you considered connecting all three buildings with one big base, maybe 5 to 10 stories, that takes up the whole block?

My favorite tower is the big black boxy modern one. I could see it in lower Manhatten alongside One Liberty Plaza and the Marine Midland Bank Buildings, as it's very similar. Although, it needs windows on all sides to be complete! I suggest using the exact same window pattern for all sides, but it looks like three columns of windows instead of four would work on the shorter sides, of course i don't know your buildings exact measurments so that could need some adjusting.

actually since you mention that, gold probably is not the best. perhaps making them out of square glass panels would match better?

well nvm, that is too hard to do on curved surfaces like that one.

[verticalextropy]

I was currently working on the big black boxy one with green windows I love that building but I made it like 3 months ago and never actually finished it so I'm doing it over. I am planning on making it a little bit thicker, but it's not square at all, I'm puting only one column of windows on the sides.

The trio (Kong Center) is already interconnnected and it occupies one block and a half. I still don't know what to do with the half remaining but probably an atrium integrating the complex.

I'll post a map because I'm having trouble inbtegrating the buildings with the grid. keep moving buildings around.
and the port hasnt progressed much, I still don't know where to put it.
the currrent location is more ideal for a yatch marina.

[verticalextropy]

what to do with the base of the trio?


and some eye candy

[Peter]

That is a really cool sunset render.

To fill up the rest of the Kong Center block, you should make a big convention center.

[verticalextropy]

totally, kong con

[Peter]

KONG CON! That sounds awesome!

[Aleks]

Yeah, Kong Con. Make it. I like the area where the buildings currently stand. The bay makes it look way better. Seattle's downtown is in a bay too and the skyline look bigger than what it really is because it like "hugs" the bay.

[verticalextropy]

Made an new whole block. now working on the con center.

[Aleks]

I like the new block. It looks like that building that Treras just made. I liked the copper roofs on the Kong Center more than the blue ones. Makes them look classy but modern. Oh, and you should turn edges off when you're gonna post shot of the city. Makes it more realistic.

[Peter]

Kong Center looks nice and shiny when rendered

Anyways, the new buildings are cool. It seems like there's this One Chase Manhattan Plz. craze going around or something!!

[verticalextropy]

well i do love one chase manhattan. I took great pics from Isamu Noguchi's garden in that building.
Here's the Skyline with another new block:
