    Update on Charing Cross, note a few texture snage but the overall building is coming along, and the low poly count allows for me to do all of its side buildings.

    This is the biggest thing i have ever worked on, and its not easy. I hope i can get the best results possible.

    Coming along very nicely I'd say. Great design.


    Believe in only what you can prove.

    Great station, but what do you do to keep your polygon count so low?! I have a 1 story 1x1 (16x7) house with three four times your polygons (21394), That's careful work!

    6underground: Hehe, i want to make loads of UK stuff and the tower looked (and was) easy. A Nice Combination.

     
    Debussyman: Dont Extrude rectangles, apply a Normal Modifier so only one side is visible and makes a whole wall as low as one polgon 3.gif. Works Great.

    Very interesting, And useful, Usually a plain rectangle extruded uses 12 polys, applying normal makes it 2, but don't you get light leaks using this method?

    That station rocks, too bad there couldn't be some way so that the Platform could be in like a ditch and the actual building on top, I hope you know what I mean (sort of like a subway but not!

    nice going with one canada 44.gif

    although I can see you're trying to save poly's I think to get it to look better at the end you're going to have to go ahead an do some detail work 46.gif

    Wow...Canary Wharf!!! 44.gif The highest building in the UK as well. If I remember rightly, this was a landmark in SC3K but was sadly omitted from SC4. Well done!

    Well, we have plenty of UK Midrise Skyscrapers so we need some more of the Big Stuff, if Frogface finishes his Tower 42 hint hint we can have ourselves a broad choice of Hi Rise.
     
    Anywho, im working on the Lighting at the moment *Vomits*
