It yo put a reflection of building, T-101 is way taller than anything else in Taipei by far, so building reflections, especially skyscrapers reflections, are not going to be to realistic. But if you add a bit of a cloud texture in, but not too much, that might work. You can kinda see inside though, all the seperate floors and stuff. The glass isn't too reflective.

WOW, Thats beautiful, man! If anything, you should make it a tad darker/bluish. Other than that, it is coming along really well!


SC4, Forevermore!

Currently preoccupied with architecture school...lurking with caution.

This sure is turning out great. The top will be a challenge I suspect, since it's so complicated, but the light effects and colors look great. I wouldn't like to see a reflection at all 20.gif

    so far so good, but to fill in the details better i am going to need aerial pics that show the top part from above, not below.

    Amazing work on the top. The only thing that I could suggest at this point is using more polygons for the circular roof.

    As for aerial shots, I'll check to see if they have some satellite photos of it.

    EDIT: Found a close-up of the top of the tower, but not a view from the top: Link

    Looks great!, I've been trying to find aerial views but not very much luck so far =(... I wonder if Taipei101.tk had any but they're currently reorganizing their images. Anyways keep up the good work! 44.gif

    This looks amazing and I can't believe how far you are on it. I see you already have a link to this website but I figured it wouldn't hurt to remind you (even if it is really late for pictures) that www.skyscraperpicture.com has a ton of pictures of T101. Anyway looks awesome, keep up the work.

    Just wondering, will this be a landmark?
    Because the Petronas Towers have so many jobs I fear I'll never be able to use them in my cities. 8.gif

    Also I know this is probably way too early to ask but do you know how many tiles it will take up?

    I started on the lowest section, I will probably have the tower itself done by the end of tommorow at this rate (excluding nitelites which will probably be quite a chore with this monster

    lol.  I actually plan to release it as a mid riser office with a different color (green, not teal), a little different top, and without the mall.  I think it would be a really cool little growable.

    Ok, i plan to add nitlites to this, change the color and release it.  Then I will concentrate on making the mall area, then rendering the full thing.
