About This File

The Metropolis World Trade Center was made in the futurist style, similar to some buildings in Dubai. The tower has 90 floors and is 400m tall. It was the other BAT in my contest which was won by Godzillaman.

The futurism style gained popularity in the early 20th century, and is characterized by rounded or smooth forms, that are often organic in nature. The style can also be used as a more generic term for any type of building that doesn’t look like what is known to be “normal”

There are two versions included, a stage 8 growable with 10,000 jobs and a landmark version. Both are on a 5x5 lot and have no depndencies. See a full sized picture here and enjoy.

 

Notice: The darkness and lighing rig error have been fixed now. The only thing that it affected was how the building looked, if you liked the old look you are fine but if you want the fixed version then replce the old version with this.

tower itself looks too dark, especially at night. Look at how much brighter the other buildings are in the day view, and how dull the nightlights on this are compared to the brightness of the other buildings. 8/10

A little too dark maybe but good. Would make a good tower for an evil emperor or something.

Oppressive, and I am strangely diggin it. In a true police state, this would be the kind of monument to itself that "Big Brother" would put up just to let you know that they are there.

Neat-o! :D I'm loving this one. Kind of like an evil version of the Sears Tower. This one has a much more forbidding presence.

too dark man, but the modelling is ok. Next time try some better nightlighting techniques, looks a bit too simple and dark, and not enough detail on the roof. You have more talent than a lot of other BATers though, so keep it up 6/10

...also, after testing this out in game, it kind of looked like a big hole in the middle of my city, which doesn't go at all. are you using 3dsmax? if so, you can easily re-export it, since Max is quite fast, and can even handle more complicated lighting like night libraries (I haven't tried it though)

estepaflip : i modeled it in 3dsmax but had to import it to gmax. because of render issues That import is the reason it is so dark. The import changed the lighting rig to something smaller than what was needed, so there was less light. I only just now noticed it (It leaves shadow errors too) Ill fix it and release it again soon.

Agreed, it is too dark and seem to miss some model details, especially on the bottom part. But hey, what a Monster Bldg.....looking cool for the model.

it's too dark... but that is, I say a least of it's problems... THe shape is absurd, not futuristic. Lighing doesn't work. Period. Look there are NO shadow at day view what so ever... well it may fit some one, but...

i think its a good design maybe is a bit dark and you could brighten the lights a bit but the design itself is fantastic it may be "bulky" but its what makes the tower unique, the way you made the tower curve out a bit in the middle part makes an illusion for the whole tower to look bent. again really good tower, you should do this more often... maybe even try and get it to be built for real. the roof is also fantastic I'm gonna give it 10/10

Why did you delete my comment? I was only pointing out, politely, that the growable is unlikely to grow as the LotConFig exemplar and the Building Exemplar are mismatched. I made no comments about the BAT nor did I rate or give thumbs so my comment had no affect on your rating.
