[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

So bored, need fun...

[Gn_leugim 853]

loool what kind? ^^

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

There was supposed to be a pic in that post. Of my epic model I made in a spate of boredom... where did that go...

[bixel 1,223]

hahahhahaa - Tonkso. You remind me of me. I think we are brothers.

here is sort of "feasibility study" of SinoSteel new tower in Tianjin, China:

[Craig91 12]

That is quite possible the strangest building I have ever seen. I'm guessing it's supposed to look like wire mesh

[autoVino 26]

that's a rather expensive looking "feasibility study" you have there

[SimFox 802]

Well it is a baby of i-Mad new and upcoming Beijing architectural firm. It's gonna be new Symbol of Tianjin new CBD - the "Pudong of the North" that is now under intensive constructions on the western outskirts of the city. I personally in love with it :-) of course it is a bit of an opproximation as the precise pattern of cells cizes is very difficult in not impossible to replicate with resonable amount of work.

[Craig91 12]

Wow it does look cool

[kellydale2003 2,276]

Made a little bit more detail: WIP

[hamsterTK 93]

I think it's pretty damn cool.

There must be a trend for companies that make building materials to commision unique looking skyscrapers for their headquarters. IE the US steel building in Pittsburgh.

[WillG_75 19]

Not a fan at all of the SinoSteel building, but Simfox has done a great job replicating it

[Glenni 1,444]

Funny you mention that hamster.

 One PPG ( they make glass ) place is also pretty inreresting and unique looking, imo.

I did a building lightly based off it once.

[kellydale2003 2,276]

Great Job Autovino!

[Odainsaker 2,134]

Omigosh..."feasibility study"?!?!. Despite all the garish twisting and turning towers being proposed in a number of cities, the SinoSteel tower is definitely the most visually far-out and bizarre of the bunch. The cool oogle it side in me loves it!

The conservative side in me has been eyeballing the curved classical facade of the Takashimaya Department Store at Osaka's Nankai Namba Station. Beautiful urban face, though Japanese rail stations tend to be many-tentacled monster complexes, making it hard to discreetly separate the rear of the store structure as it blends into the sprawling megastation.

[Gn_leugim 853]

SimFox: thats very odd OO and still looks good.. and your work on recreating it is awesome!! =)

[Muck308 55]

Glenni... HamsterTK... don't forget about the old Alcoa building... Made from the aluminum that company is based on.

They have since moved north to the other side of the river of course...

Glenni, you did a BAT similar to One PPG? I'd love to see that!

[jayo 44]

Simfox:How tall is it.

Brilliant

[bixel 1,223]

OMG I drank too much coffee

[Gn_leugim 853]

YAY!! You've seen the light my friend!  Finally someone who uses max because it's fun to make the shapes, even if they're completely useless for SC4!

[mcarch 15]

Maybe not useless... Space Shuttle for a port?

Fantastic Tower, awful base though.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Looking good Bixel.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

The image I was supposed to post a few posts back:

Im gonna completely scrap that glass texture as there is little or no definition between the random cladding. Also I need to finish the base (details).

The base glass also needs to be greener and I need to add the opening parts to the windows, can be done with some simple cloning and boolean.
