Thats very nice delija21! One problem, you triple posted! Please delete the two posts following the post with a picture in it, thanks!

It is a nice cathedral, delija21, but it isn't really biggest Orthodox one in the world. Christ the Savior cathedral in Moscow for instance is about the same in terms of floor plan dimensions but significantly taller (Sv. Sava is 82 m tall and Christ the Savior is 103 m tall). Then there is a St. Isaac in St. Petersburg. It is 1,5m shorter then then Christ the Savior (at 101,5 m) but it is quite a bit large larger by floor plan (105x95m vs 85x85 (CtheS) and 80x90 (Sv.Sava)

As for the model - it is a very impressive start! I assume the the dome drum windows are not actually the windows themselves, but just a arches...

Are you planning to follow original sizes? how about vertical stretch issue?

[JakeMD 107]

Heres a little something i'm working on:

(Thanks triple post fairy! )

[delija21 295]

SimFox i didn't said that Sv.Sava is the lagrest  exsistant Orthodox in the world,but it is the largest orthotox church in use,because Christ the Savior and St.Isaac are used on feast days only. and yes,i'm planing to follow original sizes.. what about vertical strech issue?

SWAT-MEDIC, that's a huge improvement from what you've done in the past, you should start posting in your BAT thread again.

[ianpaschal 77]

Agreed. Now as Toxic Piano has said, you're not here to entertain us. Can we see a normal shot of the building? One that shows the shape and maybe the roof and more walls?

[nycc06 229]

this is my next bat project that i am working on, the Austin Heights Tower. The below screenshot shows the basic model so far. Does anyone know how i can put windows on this tower, beacuse the shape is proving to be quite difficult to use.

[ianpaschal 77]

if you make sure your interpolation and height segments are correct you can make it a poly, select all edges, and use create shape from edges. Then you'll have a spline you can make into steel frames, and make the original poly a glass material

fire escape!!111

[JakeMD 107]

Jasoncw: Thanks jason! I will when the time comes but right now Im working on the roof junk.

Scipio: Its a teaser Ill post in my BAT thread when the time comes, but for now you get that.

Also scipio, you double posted

(I feel like im nagging too much :\)

Do what scipio said, or use the line tool or the edit poly tool to create shapes. To use the edit poly tool, just turn on the polygon, and use the cut tool to cut out window shapes. Looks like a good model so far, good luck!

[BurroDiablo 222]

Nice Scipio...

Chimney!!111

[Yoman3 5]

What, no giant Stalin Mural?

[BurroDiablo 222]

Stalin? pfft... he's nothing but a comic figure This is only an out building anyway, even the real thing at Zaporizhzhia doesn't have much detail...

[Glenni 1,444]

And it keeps clocking away...

Click here for a larger render.

[JakeMD 107]

Thata amazing glenni!

Elburo, is that a max render?

[ianpaschal 77]

I just realized that i've been meaning to say this for a while:

this thread was a really great idea. at first, i, like others didn't think it would work very well but its kind of nice to have one thread where I can see what Tonks is making, what Swat's making, what Glenni's making, what Burro's making... etc.

Great work guys.

[BurroDiablo 222]

Swat Medic - Yeah, it is

Glenni - Looking grand, the detail is stunning!

After a 4 day trip to Shanghai, China, I was inspired to create a building that resembles common r$ housing in around Shanghai. As my first building, it's looking like a piece of crap. However, this is day 2.

When you want to display a picture, just click on the reply link. When the window finishes loading, find the yellow box with a mountain on it and put the direct link to the image int he first text box, then resize the image so it is no larger that 800x600. And I agree, needs some work

[trailofcrumbs 0]

Apparently, there is a rendering issue and I don't know how to fix it (nightlights are lit in the day renderer and there is that offending diagonal strike through which leaves everything above that line brighter with no shadows). I'm using self-illumination for the nightlights btw. Is that the wrong way to do it?

Edit: Switched the image from png to jpg.

[ngeeves 5]

You should open your own thread and get help in that. I would reccomend reseting the LODs and then re-exporting. You will need the right prefix before the light name so that night lights show up at the right time. Also, you might want to check that the piece is centred properly and not offset. I cant actually see the picture but im guessing that a couple of these might help.

[patriots_1228 51]

is that the spire?

[fukuda 351]

[trailofcrumbs 0]

ngeeves: Ok. I tried reseting the LODs but it didn't work so I just deleted it and replaced it with the huge camera rig and the render looks good now. Anyways, I think fixing the nightlights is going to take me a long a$$ time because I would have to rename all the individual windows. :S

patriots_1228: Actually, it's not the real thing but, you could say that it's a spire inspired by the spire.

Lookin' mean there fukuda. What's that supposed to be?

[joncjon 1]

^^^^

That is a cool building. When are you going to release it!
