just wow! :O Beautifull! What is that building with the helipad? It looks very nice.

rdrdrdrd · September 23, 2009, 11:22:27 AM

love it, but why the underpass

Nice mosaic there Dustin, the buildings you used fits in well perfectly together. The plaza behind the one with the "helipad" on the roof is nicely done my friend. Also as Guillaume said, the lake of cars make the picture less good, but it's not really important and it don't put out the beautifulness of it. Maybe it was a "No Cars Day" for helping the environment ?! (and if no cars appear, try to use the traffic generator..

)

Oh and Happy B-Day Bruce !

Take care,
-Arthur.

So no one gets killed by passing cars. If that is a fairly lage slip ramp than many cars will use it.

AND a great job lotting Dustin!

AND happy birthday Bruce!

Great addition to one of my favorite areas, Dustin!

Abitibi Square has looked amazing from the beginning, but I'm glad to see that the areas around it are starting to fill in. I look forward to how it all comes together in the end. I guess we both know that I'm a sucker for the "big picture" though, don't we?

Until next time, my friend...

That is an amazing picture, Dustin!

I really can't wait to see more of Abitibi Square, it has become one of my favourite areas in Marathon.

....and happy birthday Bruce Springsteen....

Great mosaic of the Abitibi Square there! Really nice work!!!!!!!!

tooheys · September 27, 2009, 01:08:29 AM

Dustin, you are certainly putting the LE to great use, nice work as always.

Only one complaint, the writing on the tower is back-to-front

Well I had to find something

Dave

TheTeaCat · September 27, 2009, 04:33:45 AM

Well I just managed to catch up on all the stuff you done so far.

Impressive to say the very least.
Your skill with the LE is right up there with the very best and is evident by all the little details you put in.
Its even given me a few ideas - thanks mate

Hopefully it wont be too long till I pop back for more

regards
Derry

Another great update, ... and happy birthday to Bruce Springsteen!!!

metarvo · September 28, 2009, 06:00:32 AM

I really like the progress on Abitibi Square. The grounds surrounding the buildings are full of life, and the buildings themselves look nice. Keep up the good work, Dustin!

Stay tuned!

Pat · September 30, 2009, 09:44:17 PM

Dustin looking very great there and have a great weekend at work!!!

Hey Dustin,
Looking great. Where did you get that large round circle for a base texture?
It seems to me that your work place has you working to hard. I am truly missing you and your larger updates. I think you should quit!

I hope to see you around,
Robin

djvandrake · October 01, 2009, 09:43:13 AM

Looks quite nice. I like the building in the pic. IMO the Buckingham fountain needs a bigger lot to do it justice though. I'm baised because I love Chicago.

Battlecat · October 01, 2009, 10:26:47 AM

Nice looking plaza! You really have an amazing eye for landscape design.

art128 · October 02, 2009, 09:50:48 AM

This is a nice plaza for sure, Dustin ! You've done a great effort with the aligned trees my friend. Although, I think something is missing... maybe with one ore two (well more eh) flowers on that blank grass area, it will make the LOT more alive. Also, the place need some more details like trashcans, bench, lamp post etc.. but I think you've already thought about this, right ? And to finish my two cents, I think, but it's just my opinion, with one trees at every corner of the fountain it will look nice, maybe or not.. we'll never now if we never try ! And (oops I forgot to finish

) I think some railing where the withe pavement stops to let the bricks appear, in front of the sunken highway just if you don't see of where I'm talking about, it will make it better !
Take care,
Arthur.

The things you create in here, Dustin, are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Well, maybe awe-inspiring. Whichever one you might rank higher on the "Daaaaayyyyuuuummm!" scale.

It's the realism that really draws me in--I could truly picture driving by these places on the road. It's the meticulous detail you put into every single lot; the perfect spacing of the trees, the very specific choices of base textures...it's not something that everyone would have the patience for. If there was one thing I might suggest, perhaps give a bit more space between the off-ramps and the avenues (as in the latest picture you posted)...if you can that is, upon closer inspection it looks like there's very limited space there.

Anyways, you know I always lurk about, even when I'm not so active. Keep going; I'll keep watching!

Sciurus · October 03, 2009, 04:34:08 AM

This a wonderful place Dustin! But does the building serve?
