...so...you're saying...that all the time you put into making it...you never tried it out as a beta in sc4? So what happens if it cant take it?

what I would do is do it in parts, divide the lods into a certain size, while keeping the model uneditied and unmoved.  Render those lods and reassemble the model in LE, because the lods weren't centered, all you have to do is make sure that all the props that you make out of the seperate model files are in the same location and it should work fine!  But this is if the computer can't take it.  I know my computer can't take some of my projects, so this is what I"ll do with them.

What happens is that andisart takes his AMAZING model and puts it on Turbosquid for $150.

But who buys from Turbo squid anyways.

You'd be surprised. Most of the buyers would probably be architects with Dubai projects, who are seeking to include BD in their renderings. Also, cinematic 3D teams routinely buy 3D content off of the internet.

i've been following this beast too!  When it is released it will undoubtedly be the best BAT on this site (although than can be debated.) Just the sheer time to create this is very inspiring. I really hope it works out correctly and eventually we'll have a nice building to put in our cities.

Well, it passed the CN Tower.....next in line is that TV mast in North Dakota that is 2,063 ft.

And soon......all that well be left..... is the once-proud Warsaw Radio Mast.

The base is stunning. I like a centerpiece tower sometimes - skyscraper did a pretty good job on this thing but... This. Is. Awesome.

I hate drooling on my keyboard... but I generally like the things that cause such problems 4.gif

I havent been here for a while, and coming back, i'm still inspired by the tremendous work put into this thing... especially with Andisart's work on the base of the tower - it is simply astounding 2.gif. I've moved on from SC3KU BAP since the last time I posted, and went on to SC3URK-ing... although I dont have fancy softwares like 3dsmax I have been using googlesketchup...

And so this is my version of the Burj Dubai for SimCity 3000 Unlimited:

My version of the base however sucks in comparison to Andisarts so I might work on that too ;D

    hmm...

    choice one doesn't make much sense

    choice two is the most likely answer

    choice three is just out of the question!

    I'll go with two? 3.gif

    anyway, this project is awesome, I"d love to see it finished :-D

    Indeed, I'd definitely try door # 2. 3.gif

    Take as much time as you need, so long as it's out before SC4 gets replaced by CU (late next year lol.)

    Toxicpiano is right, this is no request thread! Please stop those requests and wait; and be aware that as soon as he's back I'll invite andisart to tell me whether he'd prefer me to delete all these requests. After all, this is his thread. Don't get me wrong, a thematically matching request once in a while doesn't hurt, but this is getting out of control. Thank you!

    BTW if all the batters keep their bats, it might very well be possible to revise the 3d models to Cities Unlimitied sometimes in the future. Anyhow. Whenever this project is finished im sure it will be awesome.
