Title: PaulvMontfort's secret projects which can't be seen elsewhere...
Post by: PaulvMontfort on June 24, 2007, 07:51:23 AM
This is were I'll post my projects for the CAM. Currently I'm working on the International Finance Centre in Hong Kong. I'm planning to do the whole complex including 1 & 2 IFC and the Four Seasons Hotel.

Updates come later when I finally get a preview render ;)

I had to remove some of the lattice detail because the renderer freezed when I tried to render. The change in looks in minimal in the preview.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg526.imageshack.us%2Fimg526%2F2621%2Fifc02mk5.jpg&hash=257fdf10f94540371fab2913f7158749e3f5b3cc)

The lowest part of the lattice still has the detailing for comparison to the rest.

Your work is really very realistic.
Shape, color and details, everything is great. Only.... your earlier 2IFC is somewhat thin according to my opinion. Is the new version fat ;)

Look on the previous page for a picture of the new 2IFC ;)

I've added a glass material to the scene. (note: there are no textures so far)

Ever since I first saw it awhile ago, Pont de Normandie has represented my perfect bridge, lucky devil that you drove over it :)
Title: Re: PaulvMontfort's secret projects which can't be seen elsewhere...
Post by: PaulvMontfort on October 19, 2007, 12:13:16 AM
Yes we did go up the Mont Ventoux all the way with our bike. My mother and sister went up by car to support is with food and drinks. It took us 3 hours to make it to the top. We did ride it from Malaucene though, not from Bedoin, since my father didn't want to risk it. In the end we could easily have done it though. :P

I had never heard of the Pont de Normandie before our trip. My mother said she heard from a friend there was a spectacular bridge there and our route  to Bretagne happened to cross it :p

Sorry, no updates as of yet. I can post some pics of our school projects if you want ;)

I take a look of your holidays pics, all the buildings (including the big menhir) and the bridges in there deserve to be BATed.

Too bad, only one (Viaduc de Millaud) has already been BATed, maybe these nice pics will give some ideas.....

BTW, I love your bAts (Lippo, BoC, HK HSBC tower and the Janne Toren $%Grinno$%!).
