In real life, there's a "labelscar" on the ground level with a Foot Locker. I thought it was cool, seeing as Foot Locker (the current company) was once Woolworth's Co.

Darknono35- 22 Cortlandt Street is still in the works. ;) I'm trying to take my time on it to make it really good. So far it simply doesn't compare to this amazing work! :D

Really good, and i'm glad you undertook such a great project.One thing though....i believe it looks a little squashed...did you forget to scale it up?

Thank you for trying to work on the 120 wall street I have created some of the building but I gave up because of the file error. Oh, don't forget to scale your model darknono35, you don't want your building looking like King Kong have sat it. I forgot to scale the Transportation Building.

Its not perfect, but certainly not as horrendous as all the previous attempts. Despite all the excitement, I would argue that it needs a lot more work to bring it up to snuff with the real building. You can't see any of the details, you can't even see a pattern on the walls that reads as Terracotta tile! A lot of the building's most defining elements seem out of proportion and flat, despite the fact that they were modeled.

Perhaps instead of posting only viewport screen shots, try posting renders in the forum so that we can point out areas to make this beautiful building come to life in your model like it deserves.

Wow! I'd have liked to have seen some more interesting stuff done with the nightlighting, but other than that, I can't fault it, an easy 5 from me. Well done.

Looks fantastic, however it could be much better! But please listen to simhottoddy and others - like me - who have tried to help make your models EVEN BETTER. Make a BAT thread so the more experienced and talented BATers on here can help you. You certainly have potential!

narkussos: We are saying this not to be mean, but because we know from experience that it can be improved with a little more effort (and we want the buildings true potential to be realized). The only people who are "criticizing" it are people who have more then enough experience with modeling, fyi.
