Needs more of a roof, though.

Definitely out of the ordinary! I'm looking forward to seeing what kinda map you put on this thing.

Kewl! I wouldn't live there, but Kewl anyway. While we're talking about buildings though. Has anyone thought of doing an Archology like they had in the SimCity games?

Looks like AS was playing with lego blocks and came up with this idea :)
I have opinions of my own -- strong
opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

Oh, sorry, forgot to put that up there! Modeled & rendered in ZBrush. Real easy to make, takes just a few minutes. I used an image of pixelated Photoshop clouds, wrapped that onto a cylinder, which then drove the resizing of the cylinder. After resizing the cylinder that first time, I resized the pixel TEXTURE larger, then resized the cylinder again, which made areas of the protruding blocks, stick out farther. It's like making a terrain, but not on a flat mesh. The part that truly killed me was the rendering with GI lighting and shadows...which took all of 90 seconds. fingers crossed (bryce6bryce6bryce6bryce6bryce6bryce6) AS

No, not uvmapped yet. The thought of putting an image of a window on each one of those blocks....intimidating. (That's what I originally had in mind) But, I think I have a quicker way around it. I'll experiment and post up any results. AS

Thats a very cool way to come up with a displacement map AS! One I'll file for future consideration,lol. This has so much potential! To me this building looks an ancient, yet high tech structure that has been retrofitted and evolved over centuries. Almost like a futuristic vertical mediterranian village. I was looking at this and trying to figure out what app you made this in.

Got news for you AS,........there's a building very close to this in Reston Virginia,.........about 70 miles from where I live,.........I have to go down there tomorrow to see a client, I'll see if I can snap a photo and post it. On this building(real one) some of the protrusions are balconies. Very very close in design though.

I think if I was trying to build the top image I would restrict myself to 2 or 3 floors at a time. Make a number of different modules, map them, then randomly stack them.
