I was wondering if someone could model a simple city for me. I cant model much at all... I want it for a animation I want to try todo. The city doesen't have to be too big just a few buildings, but the buildings have to be kinda skyscraper like, like Washington DC or NY. It would be nice if you had textures but i think i will be able to put them on. I also need a cool looking person but i can probably find a good one to download somewhere. I dont need it any time soon, but preferable before June but if its after i don't really care.

You will get full credit for your model and ill show you the finished animation.

Sounds like another Uni or College project...

actually no, its just that I want to learn animation on my own and I've done some a little character animations but i really want to do something bigger and what i have in mind is simple that i can do it but really cool...i hope. so the city doesn't have to be that amazing just good enough..

You could just make some very simple cubes and assign textures to them, it shouldent be thathard to be honest, then add some planes with a cityscape to them. that should do it for ya..

you could have used the time you spent posting the forums to make your city, and it would have already been done... give up your social life for a day and get modeling!

Well let him then... user added image

I've got to say if you can't model a building, I don't know how you're going to manage to UV map / texture or animate anything. They are all harder than modelling a skyscraper or two.

1) Create a polygon plane

2) Leave it at 10x10 grid, but scale it up from 1 to 50

3) Select some faces

4) Extrude away

I have to say something. No offence but you cant make some simple buildings, extruding or scaling a simple cube is like one of the first things you learn. Good look animating a your character though, i cant even make one walk properly even though i can make buildings quite well.
