Dear lord, what is the world coming to... I kinda enjoyed the hideous concrete monolith now that they are covering it up. Hell, they should have taken "the worlds ugliest building" title and run with it. The model is looking pretty nice paulvmontfort, almost too nice for this building.

[paulvmontfort 617]

wow, creepy, I wonder how people can live in these things, some look too thin to actually contain any functional space inside :S

[villagemayor 0]

Wow I thought pencil towers in HK were thin enough. I hope they can withstand earthquakes

Wow, that is amazing. I assume you didn't actually take this pic?

Sweet! Anyone got a link to the YouTube video of the display, like last year? That is defiantly one thing I have to do before I die, be in HK for the NYE celebrations.

hi all, wanted to ask if anyone is doing the new Shanghai Center tower?

thx

[bixel 1,224]

Nobody has claimed it. DMscopio is probably the only likely person to try it - its all yours!

[AndisArt 2,068]

thx bixel. actually I'm just asking because I'd love to see it being BATed, I'm not planning to try it myself. A bit too advanced for me, I guess.

dmscopio sounds perfect for the job tho!

[Cockatoo 2,257]

OMG! You guys have to see this picture, this is the most amazing photo of HK I have ever seen!! Urban beauty at its best, and a fantastic night-lighting reference for just about any building in Central, Admiralty, Lower Kowloon or Union Square...

I’m gonna make this thing my desktop.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Oh.

my.

GOD!

*faints*

This is pure w00tness.

About a week ago the satellite images of the northern half of HK Island and all of Kowloon were updated on Google Earth. Everybody should check this out, they're much more up-to date and clearer. Still not as good as most of the American cities, but it's a big improvement on what they were.

[bixel 1,224]

ooooOooooh, there is an area in Northern Hong Kong I am currently checking out - its called Yoho City.

I've actually completed the Bank of China Centre [ KowLoon ], but I am still working on the window and night-window textures for it. Additionally I am waiting for either Tarkus or Blue Lighenting to help me make the avenue pieces that run along the length of the OlympianCity2 Mall that includes the Bank of China Centre, once this is done. Olympian City Mall 2, Bank of China Centre, and Island Harbourview can be released.
