You got any idea how much time that would take? If you want it so badly, MAKE IT YOURSELF.

Also, this isn't the request thread.

[BurroDiablo 222]

You do mean the Burj Dubai, right?

Searching the STEX usually helps a little...

Come on Mental Ray, you can render it, come on!

wow great job so far ill tonkso

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Some more generic stuff, this is based loosely on a random Office building in Cardiff, although the real one has different sides and no ground floor retail.

[mightygoose 92]

where in cardiff which office....

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

It's near Altolusso or however you spell it, its just an insignificant block really and again, it is not a full recreation.

Heres a new update on the Riviera Complex. The below screenhsot shows tower B after modelling is completed., Texturing and nightlights still to be added.

[SimFox 802]

from this picture is a difficult to gauge the scale of the object. But what seems obvious is that it either too thin or too long. Just curious did you have any target numbers in terms of size? Or is it an exercise in pure shape aesthetics?

For instance about a third of the each floor would be absolutely unusable cause the space left by the structural elements would be big enough for only 1-2 standing person - eg wasted. You can, of course consider it an architectural detail, but if such detailing will occupy about half of each floor space it is an excessive. Also you have to consider a space for all the "utilities" elevators stairs, washrooms etc, etc. as a result you creation will have no space left for anything at all...

Of course one may say - it is a fantasy building and not a practical solution. And I agree with that. But I do list all that to simply support something I'm gonna say next - it doesn't look realistic at all. When one looks at it the feeling is instinctive, intuitive. But here are always grounds for such instincts and intuition. I just provided them.

All that doesn't mean that you should scrap it and do something else, not at all, I just hoped that this sort of reasoning may provide you with basic framework if you do try to make something plausible (if you consider such plausibility of value at all in your creations)

Lillehammer 1994 Olympics Stadium (Norway)

THAT is a viking ship (turned upside down)

[Gn_leugim 853]

lol

[srsedate 118]

I need help with this one.  I have the night window set to Gdv_Green, but I also want the Beige Night Window for my window lights.  Could I do this?

I already tried using Self-Illumination, but using Self-Illumination, they light up at day and night, with or without the "nite" or "nitelite" prefixes.

It has connotations of the Hammer and Sickle to me. Nice one.

[mightygoose 92]

[BurroDiablo 222]

Hit the nail on the head Tonksie

Mightygoose - That'll be fixed later... i'm gonna re-make the front at some point since the entrance is too small for the size of the structure.

[bixel 1,223]

Its pretty big, having trouble exporting it all...well see. Gonna update Caribbean Coast 1 with a base as well.

[Gn_leugim 853]

wow bixel, that looks really good =)

[zero7 68]

Thanks.  It's not too far off being finished.  It mainly needs the office interior and some additional detailing in the plant section.  Also I'm not happy with the long shadows cast by the chimneys in the night view, but as it will take me a while to work out how to do TruNite I'm going to release it with conventional nightlighting and then update it when I've nailed down the TruNite technique.
