Creative Projects / The World Trade Center in 3D
« on: June 16, 2011, 11:12:02 am »
This is a project I've been working on for the past week in an attempt to improve my knowledge in both 3D modelling and architectural design. It's a scale model of the original World Trade Center complex that is, bar the various bits and pieces of the model that are still WIP, accurate down to the foot. I'm building it using the specifications set out in the original blueprints.
The model itself is untextured (using simple procedural materials at the moment) and the tower exteriors still require a fair bit of work. I'll probably add the plaza and some basic exteriors to the other buildings after that, and then comes the hard part : modelling the entire interior of Tower 1, from the elevators and stairs to the layout of each individual floor, or as many floors as I can add before I hit my PC's poly limit.
Figure I might post renders every now and then on my progress. It's probably going to take me upwards of a year to complete it to my satisfaction.
