I saw this division of SSC and figued I wish I could create a city that was perfect for me. So, I went about mapping it. Here is what I have created.

Please give me tips if you feel it can be improved.

My metropolis is called Amherst. I don't like to create settings, so I use real locations. Amherst is on the site of the city of Charlottetown, PEI, Canada.

Now, a map showing topography, and a little more city detail.

http://img262.echo.cx/img262/9457/amherstsurroundings2bw.png

And now the detailed map of city center. The red lines through the water with nothing between them are harbour tunnels, while the red lines with white are bridges.

The large white areas are either park spaces, industry, or commercial.

Well, what do you all think?

I like maps. Even in the past I liked to draw the maps on the paper. Anyway the city reminds me NYC.

good work.

Hmm... It looks Istanbul.

Nice job GVNY!
I feel like there are some NYC influences in your downtown ;)

Absolutely! My favorite feature (and area) of Manhattan is the bulbous tip of the Finance District.

Note - this is a very old post, and I have an updated post here:

-----------

I'm the creator of the Skyscraper Project, an open-source building simulator. It's currently being rewritten from the ground up, and I'm wondering if anyone here would like to help out with this. The original program was somewhat basic and simulated a single hard-coded building, but the new engine design (called the Scalable Building Simulator or SBS) calls for an extremely flexible framework for simulating every type of building imaginable (or at least every building that it possibly can haha). The original version (1.0) was written in VB6 and used the TrueVision3D graphics engine; after that I started doing a basic rewrite with VB6/Truevision but abandoned it (I had about 25% rewritten) - I'm now starting over and writing it in C++ along with the Crystal Space graphics engine (and brushing up my C++ skills along the way).

The original version and the current one (which barely works at all) simulate a building I designed in 2002; the 138-story Triton Center. The rewrite will include a building designer app (possibly like a simplistic object-oriented CAD program) and will store buildings in data files, which will be loadable by the SBS simulator. Also, multiplayer gaming support (including deathmatches) is planned, along with single-player stuff (possibly like SimTower/Yoot Tower, etc). I'm posting my Skyscraper 2.0 Prospectus below which gives an in-depth description of what the rewrite will eventually be. I'm also planning (with the help of a few others) to recreate the Glass Tower from the movie The Towering Inferno with this.

First, here's the website:

Pictures of version 1.0 (VB6/TrueVision3D) - you'll notice that the FPS count is very low; that's because they were taken on my laptop, which has a crappy video chipset:

Skyscraper Prospectus
Ryan Thoryk, 5/29/05

The Skyscraper Project originally began with the simplistic design of a 138-story skyscraper called the Triton Center that I completed on May 4, 2002, using the MyHouse for Windows 6.5 architectural designer application. Later that year I started tinkering with the TrueVision3D graphics engine through Visual Basic 6, and made a small building with a simple but working elevator. This became Skyscraper versions 0.1 and 0.2. I then continued to enhance it, and decided to try to simulate the entire Triton Center. I eventually finished the entire external structure of the building, and still had only 1 elevator. A single shaft bank was made, which housed 10 elevators (5 on each side), and then I eventually duplicated it to increase the number of elevators to 40, divided into 4 shaft banks. All the other parts of the program were made and enhanced, and I started to hit limitations that were not only in my program design, but also in the Visual Basic language itself. So after version 0.96 I forked the code and started redesigning the core of the program, but it became too unstable and needed a great deal of work (this was originally going to be version 0.97); so I took 0.96, fixed it up, and released it as 1.0. I renamed 0.97 to 1.1 alpha, which is the current development project. I rewrote somewhere around 25% of Skyscraper, and then after long periods of other stuff going on in my life, I decided to stop the VB rewrite and start porting the entire program over to C++ (I considered the C# and Java languages before choosing C++). The new C++ version is now at the beginning stages, and I am mainly brushing up on my C++ knowledge before continuing development.

Scalability and expandability factors were considered as early as summer 2003, but were postponed until later (and they’re now part of the design plans of the C++ version). In 2003 many people were complaining about how Skyscraper only simulated a single building, and couldn’t allow people to design others. I explained to them that Skyscraper was still in an early stage, and that the ability to load other buildings as data files is nowhere near easy. Many people also were practically drooling over the thought of having multiplayer deathmatch support in the program, but I explained that I needed to finish more of the main simulation before I start working on multiplayer features. For a while I also had the idea of creating a building designer applet inside the program, which would allow the user to create their own building and save it into a data file, which could then be loaded by the simulation. The original ideas called for a simplistic CAD-like interface that would allow the person to visually create what I had manually coded. I expanded on that idea recently by planning a single player portion of the simulation engine, which would allow the user to create the building during the simulation, and would make it operate very similar to both Sim Tower and Yoot Tower (sequel). All of these ideas will require a massive amount of coding, and so a team of developers would greatly help out.


Skyscraper version 2.0 (of which 1.1 alpha is part of) calls for a highly realistic, real-time, 3D first person simulation of buildings loaded via data files. It also calls for a building designer application that will allow users to create their own buildings and simulate them, single-player elements similar to Sim Tower and Yoot Tower, and multi-player elements such as deathmatch or capture-the-flag scenarios. Everything possible will be simulated, including all the regular parts of buildings (rooms, elevators, stairs, etc), but also crawlspaces, air ducts, elevator shafts, elevator escape hatches, breakable windows, pipe shafts, and lots more. The Visual Basic version of 1.1 alpha currently has an abstraction layer for the 3rd party 3D graphics engine, so that the current one (TrueVision3D) can be replaced by another (CrystalSpace 3D) with very little effort. The entire building simulation system will be contained in a series of DLL files, and is currently called the Scalable Building Simulator, or SBS. The program’s application file (EXE file) will only be the graphical front-end for SBS; everything else will be either handled internally by SBS or by other DLL libraries that would use the SBS API. This way, the program becomes an actual backend simulation engine that can be linked with other applications. It will use the wxWidgets library as the GUI toolkit, thus eventually allowing it to be seamlessly multiplatform (for Windows, MacOS, Linux, BSD, Solaris, IRIX, etc).

I'm not alone!

^hey, I do that too. My largest city is 25-A3 pieces of paper.

yes, does look a lot like NY in the street view. Potato Guy and Phillipe, you are certainly not alone, used to draw all sorts of fantasy maps, now work in GIS so it all looks so much more professional

I also draw maps of cities, and fiction countries. With roads, railways, airports, etc.
Even maps of cities, like a satellite picture drawing streets and buildings!

I live in the real Amherst. Its the largest suburb of Buffalo, NY.

I like the street grid

This would be the greatest stadium ever.
I cannot find the entire picture.. only a part

that would be pretty cool but i think he might be referring to the one that comes up in the little Champions League intro thing

which looked more like (basically a curvy dish with the stars as a flat roof)

i'm very embarassed with this quick effort btw :lol:

the one that pelha posted was the one you're both talking about.

what about the michilin stadion (the tire...) I cannot find a picture but I quess you know what I mean.

hehe thx for the gfx.. ehhe ohh ic so those are stars wrapping the roof that arena is soo preety neat looking

Does anyone have any pictures of it from the video or the video itself? It is the greatest thing I have ever seen

Anything is possible, I'm sure they can build it, it looks pretty simple, basic bowl, the dome might be tricky, whether or not to have it just the star's & the rest will be open or to have a full dome with the star's painted on with a tint.

The stars would be steel holding the actual dome up.

If you have seen the video the stadium is like 6 tiers

Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrjOefa0vfY

Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrjOefa0vfY


This is outstanding !!

I would design it in sketchup but i can't be bothered with the stars lol

Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrjOefa0vfY


lol, that's what i TRIED to draw btw

looked quite different from the image in the 2nd post (i think) so i thought it was a different stadium

i think a few people would start complaining about the shadow on the pitch...

Fine it has 6-7 tiers, thats no problem, the problem is, the whole stadium is a bowl & all of a sudden its a rectangle!, how the hell are you going to make round circle into a perfect rectangle you going to have empty patchs, etc.

no, it has 17tiers, crap roof and the pitch is miles away from the stands

Ever head of the word concept?
You could design it in a 2/3 tier format and modified dome.

this is the most ironic thing

i was thinkin the exact same thing the other day when arsenal were playing that wouldnt be kool to have a stadium like the uefa one

wierd

love to see it built

The UEFA CL stadium as a true stadium would be a true wonder! :drool:

no kidding

But who would use it?

http://www.ataturkolimpiyatstadi.net/haber/orgs/uefa2.jpg

But who would use it?

Manchester United

Of course, anyways, the tiers don't look THAT big!

But who would use it?

uefa cup final
champions league final/semi's
international games
olympics/athletics maybe
etc

Manchester United

:rofl: they dnt deserve a stadium this good

the star on top of the stadium should be made transparent

that wud be sooooo cool as there wud be no stupid shadows on the ground

:rofl: they dnt deserve a stadium this good
name a team who do then?

Chelsea could afford it

name a team who do then?

Crystal Palace

Not even, I think that is way too big for any team!

looks like a 200,000 seater

name a team who do then?

Benfica…of course! :colgate:

It would be incredible, not a bad idea either to have a stadium purely for uefa competitions where only truly great teams get to play. It would certainly add to the romance of the champions league. It could be built though, probably more economically and not with 20 tiers or whatever is on the pictures, more like 5 or 6. It reminds me of the Oita Stadium in Japan, but much, much bigger.

AC Milan or Liverpool

cuz they have dominated the champions league

Would be great. Built in Brussels or so, as a symbolic thing for whole Europe. And of course, yearly the Champions League and UEFA Cup final.

But is sucks since it has 2000 tiers and 300,000 cap.

Better make it 80,000 and 5 tiers or something. But with the amazing roof.

Actually, I'm thinking Switzerland, since it never takes sides!

It would need more than 80,000. The Champions league Final in 1999 which had over 98,000 people in, could have had sold an extra 30,000 tickets per team easy. Most other final games in recent years have been between 60-70,000 and I know most of them have sold out without a problem.

Interior view of the stadium! crazy! :nuts:

(P.s. how do you know my head is a dick?????)

If you see this list then you think, what da fuck happened with Forrest no?

^^LOL, yeh

but as I said before the stars would have to painted with tint on a full dome, it is not structuraly possible to build something like that with such small joinings.

it is not structuraly possible to build something like that with such small joinings.

I think we have to go back to the nature... (basics) Spiders could do it!!!
(and now I am going out of my puffed up weed)

;10400518']You have a degree in engineering?

Ok fine there are ways in which one can build it, but as usual I took the eazy way out, one can build it using high tensile steel rods, moulded & with light weight sheet metal cut out star shapes & weld it to the rod's, if you look at the pic, the black lines will be the rods & obviously the star's will be either sheet metal or fiberglass if transparency is required. :banana:

Ditto.
And just for the record, I don't have a degree in engineering nor am I studying for one, but it looked pretty obvious to me that there are ways of making that, and your diagram is what I had in mind and proves that it can be done.

Fine it has 6-7 tiers, thats no problem, the problem is, the whole stadium is a bowl & all of a sudden its a rectangle!, how the hell are you going to make round circle into a perfect rectangle you going to have empty patchs, etc.

4 seperate lower tier, semi-circular stands and filled in Y shaped corners, with straight rows of seats and fewer seats in each row as it goes back would create a rectangle around the pitch and a circular back, allowing (something like the upper tiers at The Reebok, with filled in corners to create a circle) structural work with no spaces.

I'd actually be more worried about how far the second tier would need to overhang the first tier at the corners under that, however - it would be a massive overhang, nearly as big as the entire lower tier in the corners, as you can see in the video.

I rigid frame across the roof and the stars set on top would be quite easily possible - rather than supporting each star individually with them linked together, a general frame that follows the angles of the stars would make the whole thing quite easy to do.

High tensile steel rods? sheet metal? I doubt they would be used to build the roof. Firstly you couldn't use steel rods welded together as the directional loads would be directed onto the welds and they would fail through creep. You would have to use bolted/welded prismatic trusses sections to build huge arches with two circular secondary trusses providing lateral support. Then rods could be used to build frames for the stars welding them to the primary and secondary trusses and then painted mesh sections used for the panelling of the stars (mesh because it has less wind resistance and at night would appear to be opaque) This mesh would hide all the roof structure (trusses etc.) Not forgetting the harder task of building the huge stadium bowl itself!

^^Screw you dickhad, & Real Madrid have dominated the Champs league being 9 times winner's

I love reality! :banana:

How do i download this into my computer.

Actually, that is going to be one of the unlockable stadia in the UEFA Champions League 2006/07 game, released in March. I've seen screens of it. Looks IMMENSE!

That pitch must be a mile long...

Don't Liverpool have 5?
It's stupid argueing over who should have it, though. Lame

That pitch must be a mile long...

LOL, yeh the stadium is a tad bit unproportionate

where would this stadium be build?.... (if at all)

^^I havent been there, but thats looks abit like Paris?

i reckon it should be built in England since england invented the sport, but where in england? ... maybe the midlands near Birmingham or Coventry, right in the heart of England...

btw how big in terms of capacity would they allow this stadium to go to if built? that render is way too big lol that looks like a good 500,000 capacity lmao, i would hate to be at the back row of the very top tier...

where would this stadium be build?.... (if at all)

A neutral area like Switzerland or something.

^^Yeah, they would never build it in England, though. Probably in Belgium or Switzerland.

I always dream of it being in Belgium

Belgium does not deserve a stadium of this stature ;)

Looks like something Istanbul would build or even somewhere in Athens.

Damn, pitty they dont sell the UEFA Champions league game in SA :(
I wonder if I can download this game from somewhere for FIFA07?

I downloaded this stadium for my FIFA07 & it screwed the whole game up, I cant play it anymore :(

Well Durbsboi, as Johan Cruyff says:´´Elk voordeel heb een nadeel... ´´and that goes also for living in SA I guess!

The Champions League Game is not worth the money

i think it'll be possible... if not now then in another 5, 10 yrs.

The Champions League Game is not worth the money

think again...

Would need to be in a warm country since the roof doesn't cover all seats ! ... Naples is the single very big cities in italy and Europe that don't have such stadium...

The Stadio San Paolo in Naples can maybe be transformed, it has a capacity of 78.000 seats.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/SanPaolo.jpg/800px-SanPaolo.jpg

i think it should be built on its own man-made island that isnt far from the mainland, maybe in the english channel, as then it would be easy to get people to the stadium via bridges, ferries, channel tunnel etc.

http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7259/amherstseaport7qc.png



Hmm, that top island looks like mahattan. The bottom of it points out, and the road system gets a big crazy at the very bottom as well (just like NY)
Also, you roads through that park makes it look like central park :)

The only way it would be possible is if the entire thing was glass and the stars would be painted on, otherwise it would be nearly impossible to hold that middle star in place (unless they build ridiculously strong cantilevers).

I think it would be possible. with enough interconnecting points and the arching effect they would cause. It could work.

You also have the sightline issues, with the circular bowl, with either the corners not being seen by people seated behind them, or a ridiculously shallow first tier along the sidelines and ends like at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. If the roof were fabric and the beams/struts/trusses were a little bigger it would be doable. Your probably talking about atleast 3 billion euros to build the thing though.

Whilst on the topic of fantasy stadiums, - The Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup stadium would be an excellent stadium to try and build.

(PM me anytime! :cheers:)
These are all my original watercolours, the majority of which are around my hometown, Toronto. However, I currently live in Yaletown, Vancouver so kudos to Taller, Better for giving me such cool compositions to work with! :)

Art Museum of Yue Minjun

http://grandbuild.ashui.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pz1.jpg

While the devastating Sichuan earthquake in May left a large portion of Western China in ruins, signs are emerging that some notable building projects in the area are pushing forward. One of these projects is the Art Museum of Yue Minjun, designed by Beijing-based Studio Pei-Zhu, a 2007 Design Vanguard winner.

Located near the Qingcheng Mountains, and adjacent to the Shimeng River in Sichuan Province, the 10,700-square-foot museum will house the work of Yue Minjun, a Chinese contemporary artist known for his repetitive images of large, smiling figures. It will be one of 10 new museums on the same site, each dedicated to the work of an influential Chinese artist. Zhang Xiaogang and Wang Guangyi are among the other artists to be showcased. The complex, which is being developed by the local government of Dujingyuan, is the brainchild of Lu Peng, an art professor at the China Central Academy of Fine Art.

http://grandbuild.ashui.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pz3.jpg

The Yue Minjun museum will contain exhibition space and a small artist’s studio. According to Pei Zhu, one of the firm’s principals, a river rock that he picked up one day inspired the building’s form—a large, oblong sphere. “Everything is based on the natural stone, which has a very strong relationship between the creek and the mountain and nature,” explains Zhu.

On the exterior, curvilinear walls will be clad in highly polished zinc, a soft metal that blends in with the natural surroundings while also giving the building a futuristic look. “Normally, architects will use a local material and vernacular language,” says Zhu. “We believe we needed to make something both futuristic and very natural.” It’s a striking departure from another recent project designed by the firm for the 2008 Summer Olympics: Digital Beijing, a control center whose façade resembles computer circuitry.

Work is already underway on the art museum. Site preparation began earlier this year, and the building should be completed by early 2009. Zhu says the earthquake delayed the project a mere three months, at most. “The developer still really wants to push this project [forward],” he says, “and we think that this will still benefit the society and the city.”

Every one of these are for sale except for the R.O.M crystal!!!

I designed my own house in SketchUp, located in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. It is build in 1940, just after the beginning of WW2. Originally build for an rich woman called Betty Huiskens who inherit her husbands money after he where killed in the war. But she never lived there, so my grand father- and mother bought it. And currently me, my sister and parents are living there. It has a huge livingroom, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a scary attic where i sometimes here creepy noises like a old lady. The garage is added in 1976, its the only thing i dont like about the house.

I hope you like it!

Very charming! Looks like many cottages in America. The garage could have a studio built on top or a sun deck. But overall this house does not need any improvement.

You need to render this! Nice job. :)

Looks good you should post a real pic for comparison, nice job!

thnx! i only dont know which renderprogram to use...

You can use, Vray, Podium and Blender if your a beginner in rendering. If not, then use Kerkythea. :)

thanks! ill give it a try

Okay. :) oh i forget. Nice house btw. :okay:

Netjes man.
Heb je nog meer modellen?

ja! ik wil het alleen nog renderen, maar dat lukt niet zo goed :)

Hey, whats happen to this thread sence march 9?
Found this thread today, perhaps little too late!
I wonder if there is some thread for fantasy-citymakers in this or on another forum? I mean a place to put just ours imaginary mapsdrawings and share with others mapscreators, or something like that! Perhaps we can create some fantasyworld together!? I have one, with continents and citys and all stuffs you can found for good looking mapsstyles. OF

Hey Silver Creations! I have been looking for someone to help me create an entire city. Would you be interested?

Hey Silver Creations! I have been looking for someone to help me create an entire city. Would you be interested?

It would be great coriermax! I was thinking about to open a thread where i can put my maps on there right here at SCC. It is actually a hold world, but it is far to be finnished! We can put our citys on there and make it to a sorts of project? The planet is called Hippis (dont ask me why?) I was looking at the superpolis project and i found that my idéa is similar and more interactive!
Or we can just show ours citys, is just fun that there is other creative people who also are making fantasycitys!
Well, first, here is a little picture of the planet:
http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/reseskildringar/HippisPlanet.jpg

Wow that looks great!! Yeah we can make all kinds of cities and country's and everything! do you have MSN?

Maps and pictures of my fantasyworld Hippis!
I have been working on this planet "Hippis" for several years now and it would be great to show what it have in it´s surface! There is continents, mountains, citys and great landmarks! And the planet population have a own story! I have an homepage for that but it´s whrited in swedish.
World & Society is an idéa how to populatet the interface of the planet! More about this will be coming soon!

This is one of the citys (a small rend. not finnished) on this planet. It´s called Cumbria-Lydia.

Hey!
No, i dont have MSN (i dont have the time) but we can communicate by my new thread:
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=731488

I gonna put some nice images there soon and i hope that this will enjoy other members to create theirs citys on this globe! Have you worked with 3d-programes? I have google sketchup but i´m to slowly! When buildings are putting in the citys they can also be seeing by 3d renderigspictures but i realy need help for that!

So maybe you can give me a map of some open land that i can develop?

I started first with showing some maps of the planet Hippis.

"vivaldia" looks pretty similar to Eurasia :colgate:

Hi, yes I have made the whole geographical design on purpose!
I wanted it so people can recognize places on it!
Hippis has a story that I writhed down to a book. This story explains the names of the cities, countries and the 3 market union's (associations) witch dominated the political map of this planet! It´s gonna be a real cool fantasytrilogy!
Gradually I'm going to put several maps of the planet there unnamed cities are propose for you out there, and of course also for design it!
Here is a map of this three market union's and the cities witch I have put names to!

If there is anyone out there who is good at 3d-programming (renderings) and is willing to made some models (houses, officebuildings, arenas e.tc) to put in the 3D-maps of the cities? please welcome! My intentions with this thread is to find people who want to create buildings (first in 2D-pictures on the maps) and then in 3D renderings on 3D-maps! I have a system for that.
I´m very bad in 3D. This is a old picture of an aircraft airport outside a city, done in bryce.

Spurs Stadium

Great design Mo, and the roof is a work of art, but i'd like to see the roof at the New Lane more intrinsic to the stadium itself; rather than be propped above the seating bowl as a seperate entity it should form a close seal and reflect the compactness of the current stadium. Emirates has a 'propped' roof, and I, personally, dislike the open feel the gaps create. I like intimate stadia.

I think the design is still quite intimate given the steep tiers.
I'm more of a floating roof kinda person. Thats the aim of this roof i.e. to appear as if its floating above the stadium bowl.:)

Furthermore, its almost an indoor stadium since the roof opening is quite small and covers part of the field too.

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p210/rfataar/8-1.jpg

Yes there is an intimacy, there, with the steep tiers and I like the extra extended roof over the field. Just wish the gap between the top row of seating and roof were filled in - but then that defeats your object of the roof floating I suppose, and therefore undermines the whole concept!
Also, sorry to be a fussy git but I'm not a fan of the COMS style end either. Can you continue the top tier or is it already at 60k?

Yid Army! Yid Army! Yid Army!

i dont really think that this roof will hold.

were the plillars are holding. there is a truss between the two pillars. but its too small, there is 2 much pressure, caused by the weight.

the pillers should be closer to the rods (which dont do pretty much anything, just make the design more interesting)

the design is is amazing, u should render it

the roof concept is the same as this one, except this is an olympic athletics stadium proposal. The roof structure is not final, but its a lighter structure than this one, and smaller, so I don't think engineering is challenge.

http://www.bjghw.gov.cn/forNationalStadium/b06/moxing/A04.jpg

If there any suggestions maybe I could send you the file if you propose a solution thats possible given the structure.

As you can see, the bulk of the new stadium is much larger than the current white hart lane but the height is only slightly increased. The overall visual impact will change significantly, but the design prevents a giant towering and overpowering structure at the site, in terms of height. The translucent roof reduces the impact of shadows on the surrounding structures.

compare closely... were these support rods are located and were there pillars are located. and maybe the size of the two support truss which support the the whole roof structure.

you could probably avoid using so many steel ropes like in that olimpic stadium by adding some trusses which go parralell to the two main trusses.


u could send me the files i would be glad to help

The new public square that welcomes spectators to the venue will feature the roof truss of the previous stadium attached to two concrete columns acting as a memorial wall, remembering the history of the club.

Symbolically, it will act as the gateway from the old into the new.

Thanks. Send it to me when you're complete.

I made another fix to it mo, the access voms at each corner wouldnt have fitted with the first level of access (top of the outter steps)

I'll get it fired off to you later on tonight.

great design :)

thank you all. please remember to keep contributing with comments. the design process will take place over time rather than just a quick concept.

dont forget to put a statue of Arry in the square, his becoming a God pretty fast there.

Well, it´s actually not the first sketchup picture of this town i made, but this will be first on a new serie that i going to update gradualy! There will be smaller pictures of the buildins too. I´m still learning to use this Google sketchup, wich i prefer rather than Bryce! Well, here is Cumbria Lydia, the financial city of Hippis! :banana:

Great :)

The same happened to me some time ago, when I worked out the Club Brugge stadium concept in Sketchup and people mistook it for the real thing. There is one difference though: the renderings were not posted on a fan's blog, but on the website of a major Belgian newspaper.

But the commentary is definitely flattering, and not without reason, Mo Rush. Great design. A bit of recognition for us amateur architects is always pleasant :)

THIS was gold...

Render it so you could trick more websites and get more publicity.

Dear god... Mo I'm sending that email now

guys i did not trick that guy. they took my pics!! i dont mind though!

so to make it clear, i certainly did not plan it.

Lol i ment that so they can trick themself.

Next time you and the others who posted Mo's work, should take a look on other posts, specially this one - http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=733722 - before coming here insulting people for your own mistakes. You would figure out that RAFA project is a architecture fan's work.

Now the responsible for the real project have to come up with a very good idea if they don't want to be replaced by Mo :lol:

My apologies to the designer in question (thats the one who doesn't use foul language :toilet: to get his point across) Yes we were given a link to this on a Spurs board, and they had said it was a link to the design. Of course we had obviously come into the link weeks after the initial discussion, so we missed the whole first discussion, sorry:hug:.

Cheers:cheers:

Fantasy, yep, thats about it - I wish you all the best of luck in your careers - by the way what exactly is a "hookd neb" Also do I detect a little dislike for the Jewish persuasion "Do one you Yiddish Cunt" Do you seriously think that every Spurs supporter is Jewish:ohno:


By the way, I have a very small nose, just for the record :lol:

ah I remember this stadium. seems so long ago.
prob one of my most recognized designs.
one forum had about 300 comments about it! even arguments!

I still like the design, even better then the poor one which is shown on the original site of Spurs.
I like it because the shape of it does remind me of the shape it has today, maybe that´s because of the roof, but it looks pretty square and by that it is quiete original now a days.
You said you are more of flooting roof kind a person, but concerning the roof I have two suggestions.
Put the roof on or at least closer to the stands to create more intimacy. Also the wind and rain from outside would stay outside of the stadium from that part. A disadvantage would be an extension in the future.
Another thing is the small opening of the roof. At this way you do not realy have a football feeling, on the other hand the roof is light so it would let through light.
Nice design defuantly.

I definitely did that. I lowered the roof and covered the gap with glass so that it still appears to be floating but protection is provided. Similar to emirates!

:tiasd: The V2 of skyscraper sim has better stuff. I pressed the e stop and got stuck between to floors.

I am trying out the 7 version a little bit, but is it me or should this not be possible?

as you can see the distance is 20.00 meters on the ground level
http://i39.tinypic.com/15exu7d.jpg

When it is a perfect quatre circle the diference at any part of the circle should be 20.00 meters no?
Here I am making my quatre circle.

http://i39.tinypic.com/4gnndw.jpg

Well this is the nearest by that I can get (from the middle of the quatre circel)
http://i42.tinypic.com/2m31vg9.jpg

When I make the circle smaller the distance in the center gets smaller, but never never 20.00 excact. The beauty about a circle is that the difference from the centre point to any outside point should be the same no, or was I sleeping at maths?
Is this an error in the software or is it me?

You're using the arc tool, it doesn't give a perfect circle. I discovered that in the Eden Park competition we had.

Yep that´s the one, does it go any better with the circle?

It will, as long as you edit the type of circle that Sketchup creates. Circles in sketchup are just lines at an angle. In options you can edit the number of lines in a circle. By default i believe it is 12, the more lines you use, the more accurate the curve is.

And if you wanted the curve to be 20m at that point, you're doing it the hard way. Copy the 20m line from Ex.1 you posted, rotate it 45o and paste it so that it meets up with your other two 20m lines. Then draw your curve, and to pick the depth put your mouse over the end of your pasted line until it turns green. Then the curve will be 20m there, and it should create a quarter-circle.

when ur gonna render the design?

Thanks for the input guys!
Does anybody know if the Pro version is a lot better then the free version?
Not that I am going to pay for it, so don´t worry about that factor.

Basically pro is better if you want to convert the model for other applications, as well as for rendering. If it is just modelling and taking a screenshot in sketchup then free should be adequate enough.

Hi guys, can anyone help me? I was browsing for Mortgage and found an auction site, only it looks different from other. I haven’t used this (http://www.mortgagewallet.com) type of site before, has anyone else? It seems like it could be worth a go : )

Yeah, sure, heres my bank details....





















:ohno:

Spam

i too, wanna see the real one :) bravo ! by the way

You can use, Vray, Podium and Blender if your a beginner in rendering. If not, then use Kerkythea. :)

Vray for Beginner and Kerkythea for Pro? ooh c'mon :lol:

maxwell is a great renderer too :D

Need it rendering in time for a review at university on thursday

I used to be able to do a good job on Kerkythea but i forgot how to use it haha

Depends... when do you need it by?

Interim review on thursday, would be great

if not, then for final review in 4 weeks time

Sure, I'll bake it! Drop me a PM.

sure i'll do it just PM me the file

Well Kerkythea is great, but..

.. I've been rendering with Vray for almost two years now. Send me a PM and I'll do it within a day.

May I know how to make a .bld file? Or edit it?

nice

Is this software still in progress?? Is there any program to make .bld files?

It is so frustrating. Just because that arche is not working I cannot work this design out...

Anybody knows a programe, more or less simple like sketchup but not with the quatre circle/ oval problems?

I'm going to make a new post, since my post on here is extremely old, and the app is much further along now.

what city was the orignal gta 1 playsation one game, based on? and was it quite accurate

New York, San Fransisco and Miami.

You could see ever so slight similiarities but you would really struggle to tell which city it was without being told.

this is interesting... thank you for your comments

Mmmhh this is interesting....I usually create my own worlds too...create continents, cities, mountains, climates, etc etc......:lol:...I think I was a geography freak...

Im sure sometime in the future they will build this stadium. Only the question is where to build it. If they do plan to make it, then it might be built somewhere in France (Since UEFA is organized by the frenchies :D) but imagine how much money this stadium would cost :O

UEFA is all switzerland!

I like this stadium!

Heres a quick 5 tier version, going from square - oval - circle
