Looks great, 605 in particular has a suprisingly complex shape, lovely stuff It also looks like the Bromley will have an extensive roof garden, I love roof gardens

605 Park Avenue

I have to figure where can I get some good cars from so they can be seen in the car garage. Well I have did a little texturing and still i need a little more modeling done of the building. Still work work, but it's getting close to being completed.

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Spot on! I love the glass as well as the terrace and rooftop details particularly. Everything looks so busy, and yet the building has a sleek and elegant overall appearance.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Sgt Pepper- Thank you!!!

skyscraper241- Thank you!!!

Jack_wilds- Thank you!!!

Frex_Ceafus- Thank you!!!

Francis90b- Thank you!!!

605 Park Avenue

On this scene I made it up to 6,956,780 Polygons and 6,932,867 Verties.

Here's a look of a older look of the building with a diffrent texture, the red brick. I still thinking on fixing up the brick texture in Photoshop because it's the same brick from 41 Park Avenue.

Another render coming soon.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Man, you're textures are stunning. And I like the architecture of that one!

[darn42 1,268]

What kind of speed in the viewport are you getting? how many fps? To check just hit "7" while in viewport, should show poly count and viewport speed. Cause I go really really low once I get up to like 4 million, I can't imagine doing anything in 6 million... Even with proper scene management.

[Ceafus 88 1,898]

Amazing update, you never cease to amaze me.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Always making spectacular stuff, it just gets better and better.

[Francis90b 748]

Looking great !

However:

You see, the top of your "older" building still looks like the top of the "newer" one...but they're rather different.

I honestly think the design in the drawing looks way prettier, that's also how architects thought it should have looked like, after all .

skyscraper241- Thank you buddy!!!

darn42- Well my scene is not moving really slow, I think I can manage 10,000,000 poly on my scene most of the high poly things are the flora so I can use the layer to hide them if the scene lags.

Frex_Ceafus- Thank you buddy!!!

Sgt Pepper- Thank you , my team mate!!!

Francis90b- Thank you for that I was getting to that. Think you for you help, because I think it waould of took me longer to make the changes. The small window you said that need to be a double window, but in the drawing you can tell it's not a double window.

605 Park Avnue

Okay, as you can see the building has changed a little bit to look like the old drawing the architect have done to the apartment building. I have a care in the garage to give it a usage look. I'm so happy I'm almost finished with this bat just some more things to do with it.

[Ceafus 88 1,898]

Great update!! I love your updates!

[Francis90b 748]

I would point two or three of them:

But those are few things...you've done an amazing job .

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Frex_Ceafus- Thank you!!

Francis90b - Okay, okay boss man I will get to it.

I was looking the floor plan fro that part of the building to see the size of the windows and also looked at the drawing.

http://nyre.cul.colu...ects/view/17453

The floor where you talking about the window size should be wide on the front side of the building.

[Francis90b 748]

But, you might not consider one thig - they might group different design versions of the same building - this happened to me, i was looking for another building, and i saw that the perspective drawing showed a blank wall on the center of that building, while the floorplan showed windows on the same location...so, i guess that they grouped together drawings belonging to two different stages of the design of the building - this means, what you see on plans might not necessarily be what you see on the perspective drawing

EDIT:lemmee post it, so that i have the hard proof of this in my post :

Ok, so it's 50 King street, Greenwich village.

Here's the perspective drawing, there's the blank wall and narrow windows on the middle of the building:

And here's the floorplan of it, it's different, it shows all large windows and no blank wall.

[Girafe 1,729]

Be careful with the overhanging part and LODs / size reduction

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Francis90b- Okay I'm right to it, right now I'm fix what you want me to fix.

Girafe- Thank you, I can forget about that.
