That twin tower in Dubai just looks amazing. hope they can build it like shown in the render pic. Dubai got some of the best designed archecture in the world. Thanks for sharing Paul.

Announcement: I just uploaded The Shenzhen City Hall to STEX, here is the link: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16741 The New Anfield and COCO Park are also ready to be released. So, keep your eyes on the STEX.

You are welcome guys, I am always willing to share my batting experience. @Kaji: I learn batting mostly by well, building bats. I think it is the best way to learn thing this way. Of course, I always look at other people's tutorials, blogs, and threads. If I ever got stucked on sth, chances are other people have already encountered the same problem and already have the solution. Like Simfox pointed out, there are thoudsands of tutorials online. And I think simtropolis is also a fantastic resource. I am sure you will find what you need here mostly of the time.

So, keep your eyes on the STEX. Here is the latest update of the stadium:

WOW~page 103...this is just classic.

yeah~!Art Deco, my favourite style. keep more coming.

OK, this is a step by step tutorial requested by kaji. This will go over my method of making the roof for my New Anfield stadium. There might be an easier way to do this. if you know always welcome to post your idea here. So here it is: Step1, create a spline showed in the picture. Extrude the spline, so that it looks something like this: This will be one of four leaves of the roof. Step 2. Now use the FFD 2x2x2 modifier in the modifier list. Click on the + icon in front of it, it will give you 3 options, COntrol Points, Lattice, and Set Volume. Click on Control Points. It will be highlighted, and you will able to select and manipulate points at the 4 corner of the FFD box. Adjust the FFD box as the red arrows shown in the picture. And then right click your mouse to exit the FFD box. make 4 copies the roof leaf, line them up like the picture below. Use the FFD box to adjust the edges so that they line up perfectly. Step 3: Create a donut by spline and extrude tool, not the donut shape in the standard shape. intersect the 4 roof leaves with the donut shape. Now use the boolean tool. Select one of the leaf as Operand A, and the donut as operand B. do the intersection operation, make sure you also make copy of the operand B, so that you can do multiple operation on all 4 leaves. Once you've done all 4 leaves, you are pretty much done. You might want to convert it into mesh then explode to make it smoother. There you go. Very simple isn't it? You can also use the boolean operation to create glass and other details on the roof. I will not go over them here, since they are pretty straight forwards. Let me know if you got any question then. Cheers!

I use imageshack. So far I don't have any problem with it. How is your ShungHing Square doing? Any chance we will see it on STEX soon?

awsome, lot of potential can go into that base.

The typo is truly a stupid misstake . Thanks for pointing that out, ardecila. @Kaji, all right, I will post some screen shot here for you once I got home tonite. Thank you all for commenting. Cheers.

Cool, i love it. It will be great if u can post more pix. I am hinking making a baseball sadium as well.

good job spa. your building fits perfectly with the original ones in game. Especially your texturing, you done a great job on that. Can't wait to see more of your releases on the STEX.

@6459978., not sure what you mean by the Spline line on the walls, little roofs, and breaking stuff into solid texture. Would be great if you can provide some more info with visual aids. @Kaji, the roof is a group of 4 shapes created by the boolean shapes and FFD box modifier. Its a bit compicated to descript by words, but if you are familiar with these 2 tools in 3ds max, it is really straight forwards. If you interest, I can post a small tutorial here. Thanks for the comments! BTW, any Liverpool fans here?

The glass on the roof is suppose to be asymmetric. Here is a render from the official website of the new anfield. I kind of like it asymmetric, it gives the roof a special look. I guess it depends on different taste...

Thanks for comments. Here is the update. Some more details added. I also changed the texture of the area outside so that it become a plazza for the liverpool fans. Next is more details in side the stadium, fences, ads, big screens, ect. Anyone have suggestions on how to improve this thing? Your comments are very helpful, thanks again!

I have adjusted the scale of it and scale down the tables, and some more details, looks good to me so far. Here it is: it takes longer than I thought. Now the size is 8x8, and the proportions seems better this way. And I don't know its orginal hieght. The real thing is still under construction, and I can't find any stats of it. I always have trouble finding stats and pics of Shenzhen buildings anyway. So what you guys think about it?

T Wrecks: Well, this stadium design is pruposed as the feature home of FC Liverpool. I am not sure when it will be completed. Seems like the club is still looking for funding. Here is some info. http://www.newanfield.co.uk/designs.html

great news, Skyfire2275! Finally it works. Hope to see it on the STEX soon! Cheers~!!!
