Still Building...

Hey guys,

I'm pushing forward on the city build.

It may not look like much but this is where I am at the moment...

If you look at the bigger version of the pic (which you can see by clicking on the picture above) then you can see I am working on the four building that I plan to populate throughout the city to fill it in.  I'm hoping that 4 will be enough but if it isn't then obviously I will build more.

I'll keep you posted.

Later!

Woring on Final UniqueBuilding!

Hey guys,

Had a couple of hours to start the final unique building.

STADIUM! STADIUM! STADIUM!

It's Meerkat Stadium.  Still don't have a name for the city but I do have a mascot for their football team!

Have a good weekend everyone!

City Coming Along... Slowly...

Hey everyone,

The city is taking longer than I thought.  Guess that shouldn't be too surprising at this stage in the game.

Still, it's not because the work is hard.  It's time consuming and I haven't honestly been able to dedicate a lot of time lately.

But, in the interest of keeping you guys in the loop...

As you can see, I have seven unique buildings designed.  I want to do one more unique building and then I'll start working on four basic buildings that will populate the rest of the city. 

Hopefully, by this time next week, I will be able to show you what I mean.

Later!

City Slowly Coming Along!

Hey guys,

Well, last week was incredibly busy for me and I had very little time to work on the city.

Still, I did make some progress and I thought I'd show you what I have so far...

As you can see, this is going to be a very modern city.  I hope that I at least make it interesting to look at.

Time will tell.

Later!

OK, Decided to Build a City Instead!

Hey guys,

In my last post I said I was going to start writing the new script.

Well, while thinking about the script I decided that I'm going to have to change the city in which Xam and Power Dog live.  Why? Because I just don't have it in me to try to model the entire city of New York in any accurate way.  Instead, I will just create a city with all the locations in the script.

So, what will my fictional city be called?  No idea, but I have started building it...

Above are 4 buildings I'm constructing.  It's a very low-res pic and because the sky is deep blue and the ground is grey it looks as though the building are blue and grey.  That is, however, the reflection of the environment in the glass of the buildings. In case you can't tell, the building on the far left is all glass!  :)

Now, it's taken me a week to do this much but I don't think this will be the average (one week = 4 buildings). Every city has a handful of unique buildings but the majority are boxes without any real character.  I plan on doing two more high rise towers to give my city a unique skyline, and then I will add a mess of boxy buildings to fill it out.  I'm hoping I only have another week left until my city is done.

So, that's where I am. 

I will, of course, keep you updated.

Later!
