Looks great; what is the poly count on that beast?

I'm going to guess...about 180,000-225,000?

i've gotta say that after seeing the W.I.P. i thought you were working off the few images you showed us, and so i was amazed at the level of detail you were able to obtain from just those few pics...

sadly, i now know better. the model is still flawless, though. what i would like to see is the capitolio building after some type of horrific aftermath. i'm not saying 'death to those who live or work in such a place', but i would like to see your imagination at work had such a place been a mark of destruction.

being able to perfectly recreate such a beautiful and timeless landmark is definitely within your capability... but how would you go about the destruction of such a beautiful and innocent place?

@ chris - of course i made all the floors and tiny tables :p just kidding lol ... cheers man. i will be blowing up this beast as soon as i learn how to use this program to do it user added image

@ mirek - thanks man ... yeah was alot of work, didnt relise how much :p it took me about 2 months i think though i didnt work on it everyday, only on the weekends since i was still at school and still now thats why i have been abit inactive atm.

@ neo - hey man, thanks for the comment ... i will definetly one day go back to this and make some sort of destruction/aftermath with this model and many more aswell. i was thinking of recreating the same scene as the new series "Heroes" where Peter Patrally destroys NY with his own abilities...

@ meredith - thanks dude ... well i dont really have a real method of modeling buildings i just generally get all the references i need soo i get a basic 3d model in my head and then get the general proportions from there and work upwards ... if you go ahead about making a building and need some help, just give us a nudge and hopefully i will be free to help you user added image

thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions user added image

cheers, Marlon J
