Whisky Pete's, Primm, NV

Well, after Alex requested this model over and over again, I decided to make a simple model. No this isn't my very best work, but considering that I live in Alabama and I don't have the money to go to Primm whenever I need to. So I found a picture and made what I could.

Stolen Terrain... really? COME ON PEOPLE!!!!

Ok, now I can see people stealing building models, but terrain... really? Ok so I made a model of the 'Comfort Inn & Suites' in Birmingham, Alabama. then someone else made the same thing. Different model, same terrain. And I mean EXACTLY the same! here are the photos of comparison. My model has softened terrain, theirs does not. My model is on the bottom. There is a red circle around the area that makes it obvious that they are the same.

San Francisco Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA.

My New model that I recovered from my lost files on my computer! It took me a while to make... and I mostly used street view for the textures and one picture from Wikipedia for the tower. My computer seems to be working fine now and i can continue modeling things, but save them on a flash drive from now on!

Black Background on textures!!! HELP!!!!!

The background is supposed to be transparent not black!!! I don't know what to do!!! and yes thy are PNG.

Models of The Summit: Coming Soon! Part: 2

Well, looks like some more snow days out of school in Central Alabama! So I have a ton of free time! So I have been working my butt off making these models of The Summit in Birmingham! I will only use the best of textures to model with! Right now I am working on the sign that welcomes you to The Summit when you drive in. but I have a problem, whenever I use textures with a transparent background, the background turns black... Its really hard to fix... I will post a photo of what I'm talking about later. But here are some photos of the real thing, and my model (Without the black background).

Models of The Summit: Coming Soon!

If you've ever watched my Youtube videos, you should know that I love The Summit! It's one of my favorite places! Mainly, because the only Apple store in my area is there... but anyway, I spent a total of 3 (scattered) days taking photos for this series of models! but that was in August... So i need to use them sooner or later! but there is a problem, in the area Google Earth has a ton of inaccurate terrain!!! so I had to take it into my own hands and make the CORRECT terrain. Hopefully Google will understand when judging it! Here are some images with what I have done so far!
Feel free to click them to get a larger view!!!

You may not see these models for a while, because I will upload them at the same time to prevent gaps.
IMPORTANT: These models might be uploaded to H.S. Visual 3D, instead of my personal account! We will be using them to show the owners what we are capable of when we sell them the modeling (3D Advertising) Package.
