April 7, 201016 yr Author I've been a little busy this days, although I'm continuing doing Chicago, I think the major progress will be after middle-May. :( Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation
April 7, 201016 yr Hi Alexandre:Keep up the excellent work ! :( I saw the recent Aerosoft release of a "Chicago" scenery, and it was an astonishing disappointment; the screenies and PR pages IMHO did not adequately forewarn that (IIUC) it may have been intended as a "performance" oriented scenery without any reasonably detailed textures on building.http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/ibosh...i?showd,,D11183Apparently, IMHO, Aerosoft's "US Cities X - Chicago (FSX only)" may be better suited for flyers observing Mayor Daley's "No Fly Zone" distance and altitude, and not for guys like me who have dreamed (since FS for DOS) of flying close up along the Chicago River from Navy Pier past Sears (now "Willis") Tower in an Ultralight aircraft.http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/16/sears.tower.renamed/OK, it was nice to see a Navy Pier in FS finally; but overall the above Aerosoft "Chicago" package did not provide the detail I personally would want to see. :( So, I believe you will ultimately have a superb product with little or no competition for "low & slow" flying ...when you are ready. :( Regards,GaryGB
April 15, 201016 yr Author Wow guys, I really didn't expect that, thanks! :( It has surely given me more inspiration to work even more... :( Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation
April 18, 201016 yr Author Guess where is this area :( Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation
April 18, 201016 yr Author Voil Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation
April 21, 201016 yr Author Thanks! :( Actually, I haven't even though of that, there's still many buildings to be made before that...but don't worry, I'll get a way :( Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation
May 23, 201016 yr Author Be ready for in some time to appear some new shots... :( Until then, I made this small video of some buildings of this area. You may notice that sometimes it will seem buildings are black but that's because if I selected to appear shadows and real effects, it'd take hours to render the video, that way it's just to "show" and ready :( Chicago overview Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D.

May 23, 201016 yr Hi Alexandre:Things are shaping up nicely... looking forward to seeing your next update on the project ! :( GaryGB
May 24, 201016 yr Author I'm not counting now the number of buildings, but yes by areas/neighborhoods, however I think there should have more than ~250... Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D. My Blog: 3D Virtual World and Aviation

July 28, 201015 yr Author Hi guys, sorry I haven't said anything around here lately, I've had some problems with the prog and stopped a bit to learn more about 3D techniques, specially rendering :( I think when I'll be able to fix that problem, I can do the rest of the city in 2~3 weeks, but then there's the phase of applying textures and exporting to FS, it may take longer...eheh Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D.
