World Trade Center (1971-2001) Model - Page 9

The detail in your virtual WTC is quite impressive. The simulated sunlight and shadows really bring them to life. I like the interior views of the lobby with the ray tracing or whatever technology your software uses.

Some of the photos taken on 9/11 seem to show that the base of the building sticks out a bit toward the north from the main tower on the west side but not on the east.

I'm not really doing that much. I got a request via PM on wirednewyork for a shot like that, including the high resolution. I figured it was interesting enough to post. I'd have to finish the WTC proper before I could go to the surroundings. The first thing I'd do wouldn't be the WFC, but Deutsche Bank, as this model is a time capsule and that which no longer exists has highest priority.

Yeah, it's ray tracing. No other way to make it look that good without really cheating.

I've got a few photos. There was a two lane truck ramp down into the main WTC complex on the northeast corner of 7WTC, the rest of the north face was taken up by the original ConEd substation, which butted out some 20 feet further than the tower.

If we someday utilize virtual reality technology that plugs into our brains and allows us to visit places far away, I hope this model will be included. Keep up the good work, STR! Future virtual-tourists demand it! =P

Hi,

Firstly, I'd like to sincerely appologise for bumping this 2 year old post. However, I had previously downloaded this model from STR before, but that was many PCs and harddrives ago. I am interested in obtaining it, however, reading through the posts it appears STR is charging for the new version. It also occurs to me that STR is no longer active on this forum, otherwise I would have contacted him directly to request this. Does anyone have a copy for version one, the version he had previously released for free?

Thanks,
Andrew.

This is incredible. You really need to come back to skyscrapercity.

Roadcruiser1 · #**176** Posted **Feb 8, 2011, 4:11 AM**

STR is there any chance you did updates on the original World Trade Center Diagram?.

pe668 · #**177** Posted **Feb 13, 2011, 11:47 PM**

It's quiet here so perhaps I can help with some images of my real-time model.

I built this model of the WTC complex for the game Counter Strike Source (CS:S) back in 2005.
I spent a month making textures and another month building the map.
There was only photo's on the net to work with back then so it's not perfect but a reasonable likeness.

CS:S was updated so I re-compiled the map to work with the new version (2011).
Being a 3D game engine you can walk and even fly around the map. You don't have to play the game
you can just spectate. Just keep in mind that it's all smoke and mirrors. Only the north tower has internal details.
You can fly to areas on the level that wouldn't be accessed while playing the game and there are holes.

Here's some more images

Or you can download the map for free from GameBanana
You will need the CS:S game but that can be downloaded for $20 these days.

These renders are just amazing. Jawdropping.

Rebuilding the towers from scratch, for the first time since I started this project. A bit more detail and a lot easier to manage. Unlike the last time through, I have a full set of blueprints, so it will be a lot more accurate. Bit of trivia: from the absolute tip of the decorative facade to the opposite side is 212'4", from the column face to opposite column face it's 210'10" and 207'8" to column centers, a bit bigger than the new 1WTC's 205' (200' to column center)
