very nice building, but the entrance looks a little run down, compared to the rest

[Billy_bob55 8]

so here's a nice pic of it. I like it pretty much, now, so i think i will work on the sides and the back.



'njoy it again

[annoyingdan 42]

The black entrance looks much better. Can't wait for you to upload it!

[pitch 0]

That's better

[Billy_bob55 8]

i gotta work on that... will update soon

[Billy_bob55 8]

Update!



so that's the right side, and i say that progress have gone far over 50% now

i have to finish the roof, the textures and still some few details, then the night lightning and then finally the lot.. and it will be done!

[timo 15]

Yeah! Your tower is looking really nice!

[Billy_bob55 8]

Update

I got rid of the ugly shiny look and i feel back to a previous, but a better texture quality

 

 

Also notice the company logo at the up left the back side in the shadows hadn't ben textured yet... it will come soon. This is going to be on it's end soon, you'll see. I hope it will be perfect, but of course it's my 1st one, so i still got things to learn.

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

This sure looks good to me

[Billy_bob55 8]

i dunno what, but i feel like something's missing.. bah i'm happy of it anyways

[HONG KONG 74]

That looks very good. Only still more roof junk and finished. I look forward to the release.

[Motina 77]

I am downloading this for sure. This is really good.

[Chris M 406]

That looks great this is on my download list for sure.

[your_adress_here 11]

Wow, awsome building, I can't wait to have this in my city!

[simcitygame 40]

that's awsome . i love your building and just a small question : do you speak french??

[Billy_bob55 8]

and finally the last side!

 

to answer your small question, oui, je suis qu

[timo 15]

Hurry up!

[Billy_bob55 8]

i wonder if this was a good idea

[Chris M 406]

That looks like something that would be from Pittsburg or something, just reminds me of PPG Palace.

[your_adress_here 11]

I really like the addition to the tower. Good work!

[Billy_bob55 8]

I am currently working on the roof and it's windy here, and i'm still waiting for Joe to make me the custom roof texture, then i'll ad a dish or 2 and it will be about finished

oh yeah and the night lights..

[robierap 2]

Can't wait till you finish the building!! What are your plans for landscaping the grounds? Maybe you could incorporate some trees or flowers to make it more inviting for new Sim occupants! Just only a thought....

[Billy_bob55 8]

UPDATE!

 

thanks to Joerg, for the beautiful roof texture.

 

see what is gives :

 

 

still is less to do! looks like a nice eye candy to me, but the roof is lacking details

[Alkaola 18]

great thing i love it !!!  , you took many time for this but the result is outstanding

[SpartanBadger 4]

That looks awesome, but you really ought to consider using real roof junk and not just some simple shapes. Whatever you do, this will still look great.

[Fox 1,444]

Cool.. I think that's one of the most realistic buildings I've seen so far. Well done. The roof could do with a little more work, but it is ok as is. I'd love to see a night time shot if you have attempted to do night lighting yet.

Comment on the roof here -

Large towers are less likely to actually have duct work on top of the building than smaller commercial services buildings would. If they have the HVAC equipment on the top at all (some don't), they tend either to be a collection of fans that plug directly down into the vertical circulation shafts, or they can be monstrous units that tower 15 feet or more on top of the building.

But they usually don't have much in the way of visible duct work, the higher the FAR of teh building. In other words, the taller the building - the less duct work, since the fans are proportionally larger.

Looks awesome dude!

[mcarch 15]

Much better!  However, I didn't see any problems with it before... Good Job!
