The sail thing is just canvas and is on the building in real life aswell

I like the taller tower, although it has too many "fins" and it would block the views of the side residences. Three or Five sails would've been fine.

He was actually talking about the building on the previous page in regards to the sail on the roof but no matter, I agree with you that this building has too many fin designs on it, although, the overall design is awesome.

I know, I didn't like that tower before. I like this one though but like I said before, too many "fins." You should do some of the supertalls like the Burl-al-Alam or the Pentonium.

Well I think I want to do the Marina after this, because many people on the forum have bought apartments there and I think they would like such a model. Also, I have already made some Marina buildings.

Wanted to let you guys know that I've found a way to render all 74 towers at once without crashing my computer It will take a while before ít's done because I have to colour all the buildings first.

now i really like this thread. Jumeirah marina was designed by a canadian firm i understand, they explained in a documentary how the sinuous curves were so that the water flows freely. Anyway, it looks just too good. Congrats!

'd like to see some of your original work as well

I love the Almas Tower. The design is amazing! Hope they could've used greener methods to build it like in the US but oh well. It looks bad without glass and paint. Are you going to do that logo at the top? Looks complicated but I bet you can do it. It would finish the model and make it look great.

I'd also like to see some of your original work as well like vertical said.

That is an awesome render! You sure are making these fast! Great job!!

I agree aleks, the Almas Tower is one of the best designs in Dubai. It's one of my favorite commercial proposals in Dubai. It's going to look great when complete! I hope they can fill it up though.

I could see the Almas Tower in Seattle, San Fran, San Diego, New York, and Miami. But not L.A, Chicago, Houston, or Dallas.

I like Bay Central. I'd like to see it more often. It has a great design. The problem I talked about can be seen in the back. But Bay Central looks great. Keep working on it.
