[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Jetrock</i> <br /><br />How much space do you have available for a cityscape? One does not find giant skyscrapers sitting out by themselves in the middle of a field--they are built high because the land around them has already been built up with relatively tall buildings. So in addition to one's skyscraper, you'd want a couple blocks of other city buildings around it. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />My thoughts exactly. I would not model a skycraper without modeling at least 3 or 4 other somewhat smaller ones around it to create a skyline effect. Would be much more realisitic, I think. I would then surround those structures with smaller, 5-10 story structures. I would basically work my way back down to regular structure height.
