Weekly Happenings -- Week 38
5 years ago
Macrovision's wild real-building ride has been going pretty well. Boston, Houston, Indianapolis, Liverpool, London, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver are now represented by some of their largest buildings (and some smaller ones, too).
Illustrator has been giving me headaches. Sometimes it just...stops. It also crashed at one point, but Bridge managed to keep chugging, impressively!
I'll be surveying some other large cities for more additions. I also want to include some categories of buildings, such as:
- popular furcon hotels
- stadiums and sports fields
- shopping malls and business plazas
Again, this is all driven by OpenStreetMap model data, so I can only add buildings if they're included in that dataset. The downtown areas of large cities tend to have the best coverage; everything outside of those zones tends to just be generic boxes.
I might grab a few overhead shots of generic city-blocks, though, since those provide a nice comparison against paws and whatnot.
That's most of what's relevant from the past week. A lot of time went into cursed H3VR modding!
