....whoa.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
That's looking superb so far! This is a monumental undertaking, and I'm looking forward to seeing this as it progresses!

The question is, are you actually duplicating the map as it exists in City of Villains, or is this simply a "look and feel" type of project?
Either way, it already looks cool.

More or less exactly as it is in game, with a few personal touches of course. I've taken screenshots from every area possible in Grandville, from every angle, and I'm currently using those as my reference points.
Some things won't be exactly the same (Due to the limitations of the editor), but I plan on doing the most accurate job I can with what I have.
Also: I'll see if I can throw up another update for tonight.

Heeeyyyy folks.
Because it may be asked... Yes, the comic book project is still happening, although, I'm waiting for Issue 13 to happen first before really tackling it.
So, onto the main point: As some of you may or may not know, the game Crysis comes with a really great level designer known as the Sandbox 2. It allows for alot of things, and makes for some pretty awesome looking levels.
I've been playing with this thing for some time now, and I recently took it upon myself to recreate a city zone from City of Heroes/Villains, that being Grandville, as I'm sure you've already deduced.
This is going to be a big project. Huge, even. As I want to get as many details in as I can. And so, it probably wont be finished for several months.
Until then, however, I'll be supplying you guys with semi-regular updates on as to how it's advancing.
So, here we go:
Update 1 - Just a general shot of the Southern wall and entrance. I won't put up any shots of inside the city just yet, as it's nowhere near completion. Also: Textures aren't even started yet, so what you see are just flat textures with colors that kind of work.
Enjoy.
