skyscrapers-Update

[Zairyn Arsyn]

this is just a preview of an upcoming project i'm working on (its a big one)
a future cityscape render i have have been commissioned to do for a friend.

these two buildings haven't even been built yet
most of the other buildings i will be re-creating are real buildings

in front: Del Villar
in back: Union Station Tampa

[jbest]

Wow, those buildings are cool. How did you do that?

[FrankB]

I like them, too!

[Henry Blewer]

They look great. Sounds like a large project.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

@ Jbest - these buildings were modeled with lightwave 3d
im using whatever concept art/photos/renderings/info i can find to create these
google earth/google streets is also helpful.

@henry - its a VERY LARGE project. 
i have at least 35+ buildings to do.
modeling the selected buildings is just part of it.

Nice work on the windows. Are you using a chrome shader?

This will be great to see when the project is done.

Thanks for sharing.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

yes, i am using the chrome shader (yours)

[MGebhart]

Sweet. I never would have thought of using the shader for window glass. It looks terrific.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

yeah, the default shader reflections did'nt seem to work, very well, no results, also tried the water shader.

so i tried your chrome shader, it worked.

i'm currently working on One Tampa City Center. 

tomorrow i'm going off on a much needed vacation, i will be gone for about seven days, and i probably wont have any internet access while i am away.
after that i'll be ready to get back to modeling and rendering
