well so far this has been pretty easy. heres a shot tell em if i should change somthin. the window texture may be made lighter. In the shots it looks light blue but in windows live and GE it looks dark blue.

[scotty222 549]

How beautiful work scotty. Very, very nice.

[patriots_1228 51]

dude thats so beautiful im almost crying. great job on the upper parts those look tough.

[scotty222 549]

it wasn't so much hard as time consuming

[scotty222 549]

sorry bout double post but ive done a base for the buliding

itts the only base ive been really proud of

[patriots_1228 51]

looks good to me

[jacqulina 162]

LOOKING VERY NICE

[Krio 624]

Base is looking good, but does the windows really "start" from the ground?

[toxicpiano 125]

Looks good. Needs more work on textures. Photoshop burn tool.

[scotty222 549]

from the pic given on page 6 it looks like it or very close at least

[patriots_1228 51]

i looked at that pic and theres just a tiny little thing that seperates them for the ground, no more than an inch high.

[patriots_1228 51]

I made the texture lighter, this is about what i want. Now i need to do the roof and there is a building that is older than the tower underneath it. infact i think the tower was built on it. so ill start that and post an update maybe tuesday.

o and i made the window frames black so they are a bit more visible.

[Jasoncw 11,841]

Looking good guys.

The gradient is too strong on your glass though Patriots.  Nice to see that you included one in the first place though.

[scotty222 549]

toxicpiano-there are no textures at all yet just the colours in gmax

i agree with jason on the gradient though, i cant even see the bottom (maybe its my monitor)

but the top looks great

[patriots_1228 51]

uhh wuts a gradient??

is it the difference in color from the bottom to the top?

lol sorry im not good with vocab

[patriots_1228 51]

Heres the work on the old building, i still need to do some details like balconies, i  finished the skywalk(which happens to be a little too close to the ground to be called that)

I also would like to no what is going on with the window frame, as you can see, in almost all the zooms there is some problem. i need help!!

too big for ST so here

[scotty222 549]

yeah thats it

you don't want my advice on it though im pretty awful with gradients

[Glenni 1,444]

yeah, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea to use that texture of mien at all, i use it still ,but i stretch it in UVW mapping so the dark stuff gets further down so it appears lighter, it's a good texturem but can get dark at times.

[patriots_1228 51]

i made it lighter, its still a little dark at the bottom, but i think the bigger problem is the window frames are playing tricks on me. the look fine in the veiwport, but when i go to edit them they get all messed up.

[patriots_1228 51]

Im goin into downtown boston tommarow on a feild trip! should be fun, and i can get some pics of the buildin on my phone.

[lrfox 2]

@ Patriots... good luck with the pics. my browser is being weird and won't let me post them. the lobby of that building is awesome. It looks like an older building was inside and they built glass around it. The actual glass on the building (and you should see it in good light since the weather is nice today) is actually really really dark. it looks darker than the buildings around it (maybe because the core is black?). So i like the really dark texture. in anycase... i'm interested to see what you find.

[patriots_1228 51]

Wow i dont ever remember boston being so awesome. unfortuantly, the building wasnt downtown, it was in the back bay, but it was less than a block from the Han***** Tower so im satisfied. I definetely want to BAT some of the Back Bay buildings like the liberty mutual one near the han***** tower. Also im going to redo some of my worst uploads(so your boston recreation doesnt suffer lrfox ) like 111 huntington(which looked amazing with the sun shining on it), and the federal bank reserve.

Seriously i cant wait till i grow up, im gonna live in one of those big apartments right next to the pru
