love the way people are specifying what's plain about the screen.

nice though, although the coloring is a bit dull. I would imagine some more sleek modern things for an imax. right now it looks like a bass pro shop. will you make something sponsored by trojan condoms or something similair?

I think that once you see the area it's in, you might have a different take on it. In any case, I'm very happy with this one as it went through several different versions before I was happy with one. Thanks though.

Actually, it looks like a pretty good example of PoMo architecture -- due to its scaling, the blend of plain, brick, and wood facing, and the tile/sheet metal roofing.

I'm not typically a fan of your work, James, as I find a lot of it very sterile looking, but I can actually picture myself in this scene. That IMAX is a fantastic piece of architecture.

Thanks. Glad you liked it

Looking at this has got me in awe everytime there's a status report....
I actually am looking forward to seeing the complete aerial one day, just the fact that your progress seems to be stellar atm is just crazy, you just released a park that's spotlight worthy and you're almost done with a park that's probably going to top the previous one with another 5hotels and resort maps done and such this is just the pinacle of produvtivty and I applaud you for your determination.

Thanks. I helps when you get in a groove and things come quickly to mind. I take advantage of this time as I will hit a block and will not touch the game. I'm just in a groove right now.

Also his ability to take criticism without hesitation.

Thanks, I try

I'm loving the last screen. But I hate those plain signs, I hope you change them. Maybe you could also add some more colour to the screen. However I think the foilage is perfect.

The sign has been tweeked a bit however the color in this area will stay as it is. Sorry.

love the way people are specifying what's plain about the screen.

Indeed

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I just have an update posted shortly

Project Status #72 - 1/30/11

This past week has been a mixed bag of emotions with regards to the progress on the park. First the good news, the park saw all of the areas filled in as the parks flat rides and various shops and restaurants started popping up all over. This leaves the final area for the parks final coaster and water ride to get put in place. The sad news was that the Object limit has had it official impact on the map as a significant and time consuming area to build has been removed and although it was required and am happy with the end result, it was difficult to see it get modified. I treated it like a band-aid and just ripped it off. This modification should be enough to get the park through the final stage. Below you see the latest satellite image which you can clearly see the remaining area to be worked.

In other news, the parks 7th coaster is now in place leaving the parks final coaster to be put in place.

Now that NWA will be leaving my hands for awhile, work on the next map is in the planning stages and am looking forward to getting into it soon. If all goes well, it should really take off!

holy shit.

i just really, really hope you don't abuse the roves and wall textures, but i bet you will.

I'd love to see the full aerial of the in game maps... That would be even more impressive, I think.

Can you verify whether or not the Studio Park is still in the plans for this, and if so, what studio you're using? For some reason, I'm very curious about that one.

I'm sure he'll find some way to make that final area look good.

I guess that will be a matter of opinion. I can say that I'm very happy with it but time will tell. Thanks though

Interesting. I'll have to see what I can do as I would like to see that also

Yes it is however I won't start on that one until later this year if not in 2012.

I'm sure he'll find some way to make that final area look good.

I hope so!

I'll add to it shortly

Regarding the screen posted near the top of the page that i've only just seen..

I know it might be too late to do something about it now (object limit), and you may have already addressed it, but I don't like the plain wooden wall for the front top of the imax. I definitely think that at the very least that wall should be steel, but if you can work it in, a proper facade with a picture or a proper sign would look much better.

That arial looks amazing man.

heh. Good stuff.

That is beautiful.

WOW !
it fits like one awesome puzzle !

I still really dislike that pastel red on the track. I think dark red or the crimson would just look so much nicer and make it stand out better.

^The bright red is too bright for my taste and the dark red is just too dark for the area and changes the intended atmosphere in my eyes. I think we will just agree to disagree on this one.

Love it.

The light red\tan color scheme is one used waaaay too much, but here it actually looks really nice. Great job.

Fair enough At least you have considered my suggestion
