Wow! I really liked your comment, and really, I don't know how to answer... :( As I'm in summer holidays, I'll have, let's see about 2,5 months of vacations :( Really plenty of time to make Chicago ehehBeta-testers? It's even too soon to think about that, I don't want even to mark dates because I've no sure of anything...making it as time goes by and later we'll see.Again, I don't have many words to thank your comment, really motivating! I'm going to make more neighborhoods now.

Very nicely done. Looks like it's going to be great!Kevin

Here's a general view :((sorry about the bad quality of the pic, I tried to "blur" something to look better :()Gen_1.jpg

Amazing work as usual. Keep it up. It seems to be coming along great.How long did it take for you to understand gmax? I have downloaded it and am thinking of getting my hands on developing some navy bases that I was stationed at. I know nothing about transferring textures over, or how to get a hold of them. I guess it's reading manuals and hitting forums like this.

Thank you very MUCH! :(

Amazing? Woah..thanks! ehehI started in summer 2007 I guess, tried to make some stuff but as it was very "hard", I gave up and just tried some time after because I met some people who knew gmax well and they helped me. So I decided to make the island's airport, I took photos and so on, but my knowledge was very poor and the textures were simply "awful" B) Then I went going on, learning new techniques and with Chicago, my evolution has been very big, you can see that even in this thread! There are some tools that I don't use in gmax, but it's always good to know what are they for :( Sorry this long text, but I wanted you know that gmax isn't that kind of easy program, but with "faith" you can do it! Textures...ah that Im learning day to day, I use Gimp and the "Perspective" tool is the one I use more often to fix edges/sides, etc. It's the art of editing photos that makes beatiful 3D :(PS: I might have made some errors, but Im almost sleeping :(

Thanks for your comment! :(By now, I'm going to make all that parallel avenues from the Michigan (done) and Wabash (40%) until the last av. Then, I'll go up to make the part up the river and then I'll make Chicago's landmarks, like Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, what I really would like to do it's all bridges of downtown, it'll look so much better! :(
