The last style of sign used at the WTC concourse. They're unique in that the building number is bolded and triple height, as opposed to earlier signs where the building number was the same size as the rest of the address. Not sure when they were installed:









As for 3WTC, they never put it on the signs, as the concourse entrance was in the lobby of 1WTC. Everyone was instructed to enter through the tower. So if you knew where 1WTC was, you didn't need to know where 3WTC was.

3ds max runs for upwards of $1000... to answer your question flamesrule.

^Honestly, it's hard to find a single price for it. Full packages retail for $3500, but if you look for it, you can find fully legal copies for 90% off of that. There's a subscription pricing model too, I have no idea what that costs but it appears to include free upgrades to new versions.

Redid the penthouse ribs.


Given that the redux of the penthouse was the last thing on my facade checklist, I copied and dropped the height by 6 feet to make 2WTC's exterior.

The right side of the sign appears to be a copy of the left side, mostly directions to exits and subways.

[twintowersII-2011]

[STR]

The names, from top to bottom, are Church Street, Vesey Street, and Liberty Street.





1WTC vs 3WTC


The roofs were a bit different between the two towers, mostly because 2WTC's 110th floor was considerable smaller, since there was no broadcasting facility installed, though both buildings could have structurally supported the antenna. The antenna mount and hat truss (which connected the perimeter columns to the central core) is what formed the hump on the roof of both buildings. That's about it for this week. I'm taking the weekend off.

Hey STR are you going to add the open air observation deck on the South Tower's roof?.

[STR]

All building roofs will be fully detailed. It won't be as accurate as the main building since the antennas and viewing platform were bid out under contracts separate from building construction and therefore outside the scope of my official documentation. I'm aiming for a margin of error of less than 1 foot. If I can find a good photo or video, I'll even include the escalator from 107 to the roof.

[twintowersII-2011]

i wil look for you on you tube there are videos showing that escalator and the observation deck itself is not hard to make wen making a model of the twin towers its nothing without the observation deck

[STR]

Well, I did some research myself. There's at least 3 more alterations I need to make to 4WTC.

Progress:
