I made a Logo for the team, although i'm not too happy with it, What do you guys think?

very good, but i think a simpler logo would be better, but just my opinion, and the chinese hong Kong i think could be something like yellow other than white.

I'm sorry, Micah. The Arch is not a commercial building. It's a high-class residential building in Hong Kong. The texture is nice! Here's some real phtot of The Arch. Hope it'll be useful.

Residental!!! Even better! Thanks.

Edited: I went through the entire thread, and I must admit all of your work is fantastic. I actually didn't realize I have all of the ones you have released. But I was wondering, for those new people who come to this thread and want to download them, I think it would be good to include a link to those buildings once you release them. Hope that helps for any new members!

How about this one made by me.......  But I think the upper one is more ideal with more imagination.

 

 

If you like it, I'll made some adjustment on it...

Paulvontfort: Yes that really good, and exactly what I had in mind as well, though I agree with fantail, perhaps a little more simplistic.

Jesselong: Your style is really good too especially the characters they are real nice.

 

I went ahead and merged to the two ideas. How about this:

And here is a demo of it in use,

merry christmas everybody

 

@ bixel: Wow, looks very good in its simplicity

 

 

@ All: I had a little suprise in store for you guys, go get it here

[toxicpiano 125]

thanks paul! and merry christmas to you guys.

[Micah 16]

Great logo guys. Out of all of them, I like the last one.

[Fantail 0]

well, i think if you make it a bit smaller and a little translucent, it would be better, but i like it alot already.

And have you thought of using any building on the logo other than boct?

[paulvmontfort 617]

I think the bank of china tower fits best because it's alway been the icon of Hong Kong

[bixel 1,228]

WOW guys you really need to take a look at this site. Good reference for CJs and BATters out there. I know I just wanna get started on some of these buildings! Be sure to click on the pics to exapnd the pictures.

here's an update of the HSBC Building:

[HONG KONG 74]

Nice update! Your HSBC looks very realistic.
The original building is very broad and deep,

but your model seems to be however not that broad.

Which measure get the Lot 6x4, 6x5?

[Fantail 0]

very nice update, yeah i agree, it seems alittle too unbroad as hong kong said. Plus, your 2 IFC seems to be very skinny also. but it could just be the perspective...

[Buggi 685]

I am, as always, humbled by your abilities at such work.

 

Does HK have any fantastic industrial-type buildings? I'm always looking for a little flavor for my industry sectors.

 

Always lurking around,

Will the HSBC bank keeps the glass blue in colour? But in fact, the glass of HSBC building is grey. Anyway nice job! I like it.

[Fantail 0]

What do you mean fantastic industrial type buildings? They won't have any difference from other industrial buildings.

[toxicpiano 125]

Excellent!

[HONG KONG 74]

@Buggi

A really unusual is probably the ATL Logistics Centre. One of the largest buildings (m2) in the world. 110m high and more than 500m long.

[Micah 16]

Wow, the HSBC building looks incredible!!

[Buggi 685]

I just think it would be nice to have some focus on the industrial sector as well as everything else.

I'm always in need of some I-D and I-M buildings that employ a lot of people.

 

[bixel 1,228]

I Agree, however we are kinda short of BATters here. So if anybody wants to join we welcome you!

[jesselong 0]

But in fact, most of the manufactoring industry buildings are abandoned in Hong Kong. Most non-abandoned industrial buildings are high-tech or logistic. Our Industrial building are different from yours in America. Ours is much smaller and taller, just like a high-rise. But that logistic office in Kwai Chung is really huge. I can't wait if anybody is willing to make that. I can offer photos and infomation to you.

[IGGYMAN 101 1]

I like to download that......

here's a pic of how the HSBC would look ingame at its current stage:

[HONG KONG 74]

Wow, I love it!

Very beautiful and realistic detailed work, and the color looks also very beautiful.  From this angle the proportions are correct.

 

Thank you for the update.

 

What happens with your Centremodel?

[SYM Productions 7]

I am envious of your modelling skills Paul... or does 3dsmax do all the work?   Kidding that is a FANTASTIC pre-rendition of the HSBC!

Yes, i agree, nice job on that. The last attempt of this failed, but yours looks even better than that one. Are the windows textrues final?
