Subject: Vancouver Library WIP
Wish I could help you out, but Bangkok is the other side of the world from Vancouver. :o( This is done really very well, specially in controlling the curvature of the facade elements. What application are you modeling in? Looks like a solid modeler... formZ perhaps? :o) Cheers! M
Mind Over Matter
"If you don't mind, then it don't matter."
I'm not much closer than Moe (UK) but it's an impressive model! I'm curious about your working method for this. I recently modelled something with a similar structure (curve with lots of holes)and found some problems with smoothing. In the end I worked with a fairly dense mesh and cut the apertures out of that. If I worked low poly the structure became faceted when smoothed. Did you find a more elegant solution? - Baz
I'm modeling in Anim8or, though the renders were done in Vue 4. I'm not doing anything very clever, something very inelegant and inefficient in fact! I'm building it as the builders did, in modules - see image. Takes a lot of calculator bashing and a hell of a lot of work in naming and grouping elements, also results in a lot of redundant facets. It's an approach that does give the ability to easily hide portions from the renderer, equally it's a nightmare to texture though!
Thanks for the nice comments, and let me know if you emigrate to Canada. I suspect this could take some time :-) John

Started to model this in response to a request in the Vue Forum, seemed like a good idea as there's a heap of photo references on the web. Seems like the more references I look at though, the more questions I've got!This is my model of what I beleive to be the East facade, rendered from the outside. Anybody that's local to this structure, or otherwise well aquainted with it, am I getting it right? What happens where the ground floor windows meet the ground? How are the end walls of these segments glazed? Any information gratefully received, I am only doing this to put it in free stuff BTW.
TIA
John
