Thanks guys for comments and supports. I'm glad to see, you like that ugly small cube ;). But no one has found what's his name :D

Here an small update, and I think, the day version is ready ;)

 

I've reduced the "bump" level for the roof dirt, fix some textures for the blinds and windows, and add several stuff for the plaza, like tables and potted shrubs.

Not sure if this is going to be very helpful, but I don't think this is the best glass you have done. Normally your glass is outstanding.. I almost feel like its not reflecting anything real; the bump maps might be too strong the glass looks a bit buckled in places... not sure what else... can't put my finger on it really, maybe its that the glass is too transparent and the building looks empty inside...? possibly its a bit too desaturated as well, its not reflecting any colour from the environment, just grey...

 

...but this could just be me everyone else seems to like it :)

Thanks guys for comments, and good criticisms, and yep it's the CNA North Plaza, just side the CNA Plaza :P

Okay, I've re-worked the glass reflections. What's your preference the one or two ?

No 1 for me.  Another cracking BAT with your trademark Phenomenal Roof.

Hello guys.

 

Thank you for still following CBT despite inactivity.

 

Just to let you guys know, I haven't been very active as my grandfather died of cancer one week ago now after combating his disease for over two and a half years. 

 

@ darknono: Fabulous as always! :)

 

I'm still around with this new fictional project:

Okay guys, thanks a lot for your comments and your vote ;) , the number one is my favorite too :D . And here an first picture of the night version. The lighting of the windows need to be adjust on the X and Y axis, and the glare level should be a little more high in my opinion.

I agree about the glare needing to be a little higher, but overall it's already up to your high standards.

I like what you did to the windows at night. But what I don't like about it (I had the same problem when I used the texture you sent me) is that the black frames between the night window texture are too obvious. I don't know how to manage they won't but I guess some other do :O

Thanks guys, now I think the new CNA piece is ready for exporting. Nightlight and reflection are better like this:

@Skyscrapertower building: You need to re-work the texture with photoshop or other drawing software to delete the grey frames. You must add black :)
