I would love to have this building

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Will you upload both versions?

[tonyr 926]

I love the red ... green would have been great ... not a fan of the blue, JMO.

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

well, I can always make different colors. That won't be difficult. 

[Reddonquixote 4,339]

I really like the new (day) version, especially the glass. Really nice. The blue outline of the tower struck me as a bit odd though. I can imagine it lighting up at night, but what substance would it be made of that it would also appear bright blue during the day?

 

In my opinion, the night version has gone from being over-lit to under-lit. If you are doing any more work on it I'd recommend lighting up a few more windows, as well as the lobby. Do you use a night-ground plane? I can't see any lights reflecting in the glass. I think this would give it a lift as well.

 

Good work

[Huston 5,800]

Looks good, but reddon's right though. It's waaaay to under-lit. Seems quite inadequate in a lot of places and could use some more illumination. And a ground plane (or spherical enviromental map) could give it some life and make the glass seem more like 'glass'. But other than that, this should look real awesome!

[KonstantinII 1,106]

You can make different versions with different colors and slightly different logos, but the general structure remains the same.

 

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

I still prefer my less lit version since offices are generally closed at night, but I agree with the reflections. I had my illumination map in the background set to 5% on accident. It's back where it should be now.

[Huston 5,800]

It's a lot better now I think. But the reflections still look a little obscured and lacking visibility. Just my opinion really, but I think it's still good the way it is. And may be some fillers at the lobby? Just in case you can populate it with some objects or something.

[tonyr 926]

Yes! I am loving the green.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Totally better. Though I still think some night map finetunig would be awesome. How about increaing the sharpness?

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

That's great! I liked all of them, but I prefer red 

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

I cannot find a good night map that works. Reddoniquixote had a good one but the bump map I'm using doesn't really work too well. I'll try increasing reflectivity of the windows.. 

//Edit: This is the final version. I grow tired of making minor changes to try and please everyone. I will at some time in the very near future export a green, blue, yellow, purple and orange version of each, but for now I'll release just the original Red version. It should compliment the quite nicely.  

[MushyMushy 3,618]

It looks great!

 

You mentioned above that you could release the different nighttime color variants. You think it'd be possible to also release a variant that just has a all-white logo and no light bars on the edges of the building? This way we could plop it down in situations where we don't want it to stand out, but could still use the (awesome) color variants you've done already (with the light bars) in situations where we want it to be the center of attention.

I guess this suggestion would require making it possible for us to use all variants at once (different lot for each one I guess - which would be awesome).

 

Anyway, that aside, this building looks totally fabulous!

[darn42 1,268]

This looks awesome! Make sure to turn on ambient occlusion on the materials on your roof especially. 

[tonyr 926]

You hold all the cards. It's your decision to make. Just let me know when to download!! 

[KonstantinII 1,106]

I really like the blue version. I think it's the best one. But the red version is just as good.

[Huston 5,800]

Personally, I think the red is a better way to go. Red contrasts great at night, and I really wanna match up the towers

[StarFire01 8]

I also like red.

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Enjoy!  

 

[weixc812 509]

Thank you so much for sharing!  And I wonder how is AIN Monument going, it looks nearly finished IMO...

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Athena Mission Planning department says you have to.

LOVE IT. LOVE IT NOW.

 

...or else

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

OH, I'LL TAKE STAND ON MY OPINION!!!!

 

And, well, I guess Konstantin seriously has to practice understanding the depth of my posts. 

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Remember this?

 

 

 

I've isolated the problem and have begun work on it again!

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

No, I don't D:

 

Seriously, what was the problem with that thing again?
