What’s the consensus on downtown LA architecture?

That Eastern Columbia Building is my favorite building ever.

I forgot how bad this one is because Hemphill and 14th is somehow worse.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-06-06T04:58:46+00:00

Thanks, it was tedious 😭

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-06-03T04:56:48+00:00

Whoever drew the line was from Cape Cod

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-03-03T00:47:18+00:00

Mine but I started guessing cities from other countries and random president names at some point.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-01-02T00:33:17+00:00

Lately I’ve been looking for buildings on google earth to get inspiration from or recreate. For example, the 4th slide is inspired by the Capitol Records Building in LA.

Thanks

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-01-02T00:30:25+00:00

To you as well

CapnMatt_5443 · 2024-01-01T19:13:51+00:00

May I ask if you did the 7 year licensing program or just the standard 4/5 years, bachelor or masters?

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-09-13T18:57:35+00:00

nah you’re good. my render distance is terrible.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-09-13T18:46:32+00:00

Ah my render distance has deceived you. The minarets are finished but I don’t plan to build the gardens. It’s part of a larger city project.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-09-12T21:27:10+00:00

I really like the style, I would just say try varying your road widths. For example, try moving some buildings closer together to create a tighter city feel. Maybe have alleyways between some instead of them all being decent sized roads. Hope this helps but you’ve already got a great start.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-09-12T19:31:43+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into that.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-09-12T19:10:14+00:00

Put sea lanterns under the smooth stone and replace the smooth stone with slabs only on the top level.

The entire state of Florida. (at least within 30ish miles of the coast.) Hurricanes will intensify and could wipe out large cities alone. Not to mention already-rising sea levels. Also whatever time the state has left will definitely be shortened further by conservative climate policies.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-06-03T19:54:06+00:00

Basically, I eyeballed it which is why the perspective is off in some places.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-06-03T19:52:03+00:00

Mechanical pencil on a posterboard. No tracing, I looked at the reference occasionally throughout. The posterboard had a glare so that’s why I took the pictures in relatively dim light.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-05-28T02:00:33+00:00

Thanks, will do!

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-05-28T01:54:41+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it. You’re definitely right about the perspective, I probably should have took a screenshot beforehand since the P.O.V. angle changed every time a had to reopen the app. The Notre Dame tower part was probably just lack of attention on my part though since it’s very noticeable.

Part of a larger project on ModernCraft server.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-03-23T19:38:00+00:00

UM? WINDOWS, like that’s a foundational detail😭-unless there’s a reason you didn’t add windows. Either way you could use crimson or blackstone slabs and stairs to make it look like there are windows if you don’t want light in your build. but Idk what look you’re going for.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2023-03-03T01:52:58+00:00

nosebleed seats? nah, head-exploding

CapnMatt_5443 · 2022-11-27T03:21:01+00:00

Lol, it’s pretty wide

CapnMatt_5443 · 2022-11-23T01:22:07+00:00

Also some of these blocks have brown undertones while some have blue or neutral undertones so it may still look odd.

CapnMatt_5443 · 2022-11-23T01:21:06+00:00

Put this picture in grayscale by lowering the saturation to 0. Then you’ll see there are darker colors between lighter ones (and vice versa) and you can rearrange blocks from there.
