The new max test render looks pretty good, I'd say better than the original which had the solid glass

Wow.... that building is huge!! Absolutely massive! And it looks stunning as well, because it is beautifully crafed and designed! I look forward to seeing it developed more! Cheers.

frndofyaweh: since you already have it as an editable mesh open the roll-out if there is one, and select vertices, change the postion of the vertices either by using your mouse, or my favorite typing in the desired position.

I love coffee and buildings.

I was wondering, is there any updates on the project yet, so far it's looking fantastic, it would be a shame to go to waste after you've got this far.

Isn't there another project in Dubai?  I think its called the Al Burj or something.

I can't wait till both the the BAT and real Burj Dubai are finished!!!17.gif

    I'm sorry to announce that this project has been on hold for 4 months and so will be for the near future. My computer is broken and I also have real-life stuff to take care of.

    As one of the biggest fans of this project, I am sort of sad that I will have to wait a while longer, but at the same time I am REALLY glad this isn't dead! I will continue to patiently wait, I just hope that such a great BAT as this eventually does make it to the STEX (and my cities) 3.gif

    Have you ever tried to imagine how tall the real Burj Dubai will be once finished?

    Take a look at my diagram made out of diagrams from skyscraperpage.com that lets you compare the size to already built structures. It also shows the world skyline in 2010 (some exceptions like the Millenium Tower are still visions only)

    If you want to find out more about the diagram's authors visit skyscraperpage.com for reference.

    Hello folks again!

    I wanted to let you know that I have been able to fix my computer after all and that means that work on the project has been resumed!

    After some (now resolved) difficulties with skyscraper, who took on the challenge of the Burj Dubai as well I see it as a friendly competition (being an Aries I just can't pass that part *g) and I can tell you that my tower will probably be released later.

    Since it is already visible that the two projects are varying already you will be able to choose which tower suits best for your individual city and that's just fine :-)

    So stay tuned, it's in the works!

    ...or one can have two different Burj's in their city.

    I am glad you are continuing. Perhaps competition will make both projects better... like is does in real life. (If only Microsoft had (real) competition against windows... imagine how fewer crashes we'd experience!). Good luck.

    Alrighty folks, I can announce:  The basic modeling phase as well as basic texturing are COMPLETE!

    Take a sneak-peak with this advertisment I found along the way...

    Looking great as well, andisart. The competition between you and 'skyscraper' is parallel to the competition between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. With that said, leave it to us to choose which Burj Dubai is more suited for our cities. In my opinion, I am getting both!
