thats good, i like the detail already:bow:

yeah, nice work marlon - that's looking really cool so far. Are you working from blueprints? This should be a cool project.
:beer:

@acid - thanks acid, im gonna try to make the detail my best priority.

@arran - thanks arran :) ermm i coudnt really get the actual blueprints of the place, ehehe... but ived got about 20 pictures of capitolio building from different angles and all round it. soo ived kind of created a 3d image in my head of the place itself ;) yeah hopefully this should be a cool project and i cant wait to finish it.

thanks for the comment again guys, keep em rollin' :p

hey guys, sorry that i havnt been posted anything today. i have spent all day trying to work out how to do the bottum bit of the building but have encounted so many problems. but i have now figured them all and no where i should start etc, so i will be posting some more progress tomorrow in the afternoon, thanks

Looking good. Only crit I have is that the dome looks a little elongated.

thanks for the reply dutch, yeah the dome is abit too long/streched in y axis.. i will fix that up on the weekend :)

cheers marlon

hey guys, heres a quick update of what i have done on the bottum floor. i will be posting some later on tonight of the 2nd level neally finished :)

Looking good so far man, Keep it up, this should be good when finished (and a good model to blow up if you ever felt the need to!! LOL)

thanks gster, yeah hopefully it will be good when i finish it lol.. hahaha i should try that, after i finish the model, i should try and learn how to explode things by learning dynamics and particles etc. thanks for the tip lol ;)

heres some updates of the building, wanted to post them couple of hours ago but my net went down.. ived neally finished the 2nd level at the front. it dosnt really look like it yet but after the texturing and that, i hope sure it will look good, cheers guys .. marlon :)

Good Job
 

Very nice job ... once you finish it let me know how you model such a detail. I am trying to learn how to model interiors like rooms and bathrooms so they look real. If you know some tutorials or free stuff related it please let me know.

Great job again .. and continue with it !! ;)

Very good (seriously)!!! I just have one question...



What is the poly count?

Ahh marlo, this is sweet. I dont know how you do it lol I dont have the patients

sorry that there hasnt been any updates lately, got side tracked with other stuff and totally forgot about this.

@ tebiches - cheers man, didnt really know i modeled in such detail, lol thanks. haha sure not a problem, once i finish it i will post on how to do it just for you :) yeah i wanna kind of start to do interior stuff like rooms etc aswell. if you want some tutorials, theres one on interior tutorial from kurt called "Interior Scene" which i heard is good and im probably gonna get it soon (by the way you have to buy points to download them). also heres another link of a tutorial which kind of got me started to the capitolio project, tutorial's abit newbish but its got them little tips inside which help in big areas.

@ TheFourRiders - thanks, the poly count is 29789 faces. thats the poly count right? lol

@ 99GsTurbo - haha thanks also man. lol when it comes to maya its all patients really because you want to get everything perfect so you have to wait for them long renders which takes ages :S. ived had my times where ived just lost it lol.

thanks for the comment again guys, this is what keeps me going, im going to put all my other projects aside and try to finish this off. also does anyone have a link to a tutorial for clayrendering? i reckon it would look good if i did it with this particular model since theres alot of things and that.

CHEERS, marlon :)

heres a bit of an update,

Nice work
 

looks great as always....

thanks man, always appreciated :)

Thats some nice work you got there man.

how the hell is it only 50 000 faces???

Efficient modeling.....

thanks for the comments guys :)

about the faces acid, i could probably reduce it to 30000 if i make all the windows seperately 1x1 instead of having them 10x10. i dont know why i didnt do that in the first place, if i can be bothered at the the end i will probably do that.

it takes me 10 seconds to load up my scene even longer sometimes. pretty shocking...

marlon

heres a update, started the roof, finished off the back and added in the other side building... also extended the back since it looked too small,

cheers guys, marlon
