not on purpose kadri, i left soft shadows on in a previous render (with the other two buildings)
it was'nt really a problem, i left it running overnight, and i had work the next day.

the skyscraper's geometry is complete, but i've run into UV unwrapping problems, and i had to use a custom UV unwrapping method to get it right
should be around soon

One Tampa City Center.

found some workarounds to lightwave's crummy UV unwrapper.

textures were baked within LW (cubic projection) 8192x8192

Wachovia center - wip

personally i like the design of this one

C&C welcome!

Very cool building, zaai999. Great project.

It would be neat to see these buildings rendered together. It would also let you see if there might be memory issues.

Zairyn Arsyn · October 02, 2010, 09:19:13 PM

looking forward to TG2 64
