One month ago, I have started the Apollinaire tower ( Apollinaire is a french poet of the late XIXth century ). It is the first tower of a group or five R$$ towers, they have the name of a french poet of the XIXth-XXth century. 

here is the last screens of the Apollinaire tower :

I have some things to arrange and it will be very soon in the STEX. 

I have build another tower, some days ago, the Baudelaire tower :

I will put amenagements on the highest roof like planters with bushes, tables and chairs, etc... and I will put the nightlights

Comments appreciated.

[yoder7652 21]

looks interesting...might want to consider some roof junk thought (exhaust fans, a/c, etc)

[mightygoose 92]

dude i assume these are low quality renders, but yeah good work, residential hmm

[fukuda 351]

Bonne chance!

[realdimension 6]

Thank you very much !

Yoder7652 : I will not put exhaust fans or HVAC, it will decrease the beauty of my towers.

EDIT: I have added yellow flowers on the planters in the terrace of the Apollinaire tower and I have put a granite texture on the borders of the planters:

What do you think about that ?

[spa 968]

One the Baudelaire Tower. It's your call but I have to agree with yoder. I think the roof really does need something on it. It's too clean. A bulding like this would have something up there. Very few roofs are entirely blank. Second, I think you should consider making a one storey base that is slightly larger than the building. Without one, it appears to just grow right out of the ground. It doesn't look natural. Beside that looks promising.

[realdimension 6]

I haven't put the amenagement on the roof yet. The idea of the base may be interesting. I hesite a little... I will use a poll in this topic to decide if I will put a base...

Here is night views of the Apollinaire tower :

The GMAX model is ready to be exported, I will export it when I could and I will try to upload this tower before mid-july.

Don't hesite to comment, Comments are welcome !

[realdimension 6]

I haven't posted here since a long time...

Hey, this one has improved a lot! I remember seeing it for the first time, and tbh, I didn't like it very much. Now, with that base and the new textures, it looks very promising. The only thing I'm not so crazy about is the roof with all those umbrellas... at such a height, they'd go flying all the time, lol.

Can't wait to see some in-game pictures...

[toxicpiano 125]

Yes, I agree, that's a brilliant improvement!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work

[realdimension 6]

T Wrecks : Thank you! maybe I will remove these umbrellas.

Toxicpiano and Jacqulina : Thank you so much!

Some new images:

[hamsterTK 93]

im not sure i like the base, but the tower itself is excellent

[jacqulina 162]

very nice i like the detail

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Looks nice indeed. The window textures aren't final, though, or are they? On the main tower, that monotonous grey window colour looks a bit dull, and those windows in the base weren't even recognizable as windows in the day view... only the night view reveals that the white parts light up at night. I dunno, those angled edges of the base look a bit odd anyway, and you could make the ground floor a bit taller than the upper floors. Most skyscrapers have that.

nice design the umbrellas gotta go but the basic model design is cool

listen to T Wrecks

HamsterTK and T Wrecks : Thanks!

For the glass, I don't know how to do a less dull texture... If someone know good parameters to have a nice window aspect, it could be very helpful.

Maybe I will change radically the form of the base for a more modern look, that's right that the base looks odd... It was not a very good idea.

Jacqulina and Aleking : Thank you.

[realdimension 6]

Hello everybody, I have abandoned the BAT for a long time, but i have decided to re-work in to do a new tower, the Berlioz tower :

The structure at the top of the tower is a windmil with the Darrieus system. I have already seen this sort of windmill at the top of a building so I have put one on this tower. I can remove it and the solar panels if you don't like it...

[jacqulina 162]

wow thats excellent nice work

[realdimension 6]

Thank you very much, Jacqulina.

i have a lot of work and not enough time to finish the tower, I have changed the color of the tower and done a new base and amenagements in the top glass structure :

I will post more screenshots at Saturday.

[bixel 1,223]

Oooh Like this nice tall blue one.

[tommiej 0]

looks very nice! really like those details on top, solar panels, inside swimming pool with chairs. Very nice!

looking forward!

[jacqulina 162]

very good progress

[MarcosMX 222]

Very nice work!!

[Gecko_2006 1]

Lovely style. The graceful curves make it look very modern. Fantastic work- I hope to see more!

[realdimension 6]

Glad to see you like this ! I am very honored to receive comments from famous batters! Thanks !

The new screenshots I have promised :

It is the last screenshots before the export, You still can give me suggestions until Tuesday night, I will export it Wednesday.

[GMT 389]

wonderfull

simply wonderfull

[realdimension 6]

Thank you GMT! 

I am sorry for the Berlioz tower, the export have failed but don't worry I will retry when I could.

There is a new glass tower, the Chopin Tower :

What do you think about that?

[jacqulina 162]
