Twisting towers are easy to model but once you get into details it becomes a nightmare! My PC was lagging from this tower alone.

Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the Marina area, but everytime I look at the renders I can't find (the probably not detailed yet version of) Ocean Heights 1.

May 13, 2007, 1:53 AM

Sometimes it's blocked by other towers. Also it's still just a big box but someday I'll do it. It's the hardest out of all but I'll work my way up to it ;)
You can see it in this render, it's the second one on the right of the sea-facing row.

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/7554/marinav63py6.jpg

OK, thanks, I thought it would be closer to Ocean Heights 2, and a bit taller compared to the closest supertall, the 4th sea-facing tower (Elite Residence?)

malec

May 13, 2007, 9:18 AM

I think I fucked up the roof, it sticks out way too much in my model but here's the thing. This developer produces really crap renders which doesn't help.

Look at these and compare:

note on watermarks: make sure they are in the center of an image so third parties dont just cut off the water mark and use the rest of the image.

other than that, what computer do you have?! a supercomputer?!!!?! seriously, i cant even make a detailed tower without my laptop going all laggy

malec

May 27, 2007, 1:40 AM

In fact my computer can't handle this model at all. When everything is in view it's absolutely impossible to navigate so what I do is use layers. This way you can hide all the towers when you want to put a new one in or set up a scene with shadows, etc. Also I make all the towers in seperate files, then stick them in.

A new render, 2 new ones here, emirates crown by dubai addiction and le reve by me.

Jul 23, 2007, 10:40 PM

^^ It depends on the general shape of the tower. Towers where floors can be copied and pasted like princess tower or even infinity tower (sure it's twisting but all you do is rotate each floor a certain amount and there you go) are waaaaay faster than ones like damac heights which has to be built up floor by floor.
The pentominium for example took 2 hours while damac heights took 10!
