omg... omg... this is a must see...
It is a very good display of this building's 3D structure!!!

basically you just need to use ur mouse and drag around and scroll for zooming, and the arrows are for travelling towards a new position 

[SimFox]

That is an incredible resource!!!

Well, my building clearly looks different (apart form metal patinated facade part) form the original, but I guess it's ok. Anyway I though of it as something for W2W set.

[fusion_lemon]

Well, I like ur design better... more than the original design!!! 

I think the original one there was still a bit old in the ground floors and doesn't quite match with those steel+glass design above

I suppose this building can be available soon (?) 

[SimFox]

yep, I still have to do nightlighting, though... but I basically know what and how...

Again thanx for that superb site (with Hangzhou walk arounds). I absolutely love that city and that site is almost like being there! BTW I've found there also another building from Hz I was making the yellowish 2 tower complex it is a Richful (yes like that with 1 L) Plaza. I could walk all around that one. Since it wasn't quite far gone as the first one it will be much more tru to life. and generally it is very nice building

[tankmank]

the building looks amazing so real can't wait to download it

[fusion_lemon]

Do you mean the creamy-yellowish two-tower building in page 10? that would be great~ 

But when I look up in edushi it appeared slightly yellowish in the 3D map, but in the photos it looks white
If you need any help I'm more than pleased to offer help~

[SimFox]

Yep, that one. Color wise, well that is the trouble with relying on photos... there are too many variables there to affect judgment - white balance, exposure, camera quality... Seeing something at least one is often a better solution.

[fusion_lemon]

Yup, I agree that cause a lot of trouble... especially when someone need to discriminate little colour difference such as dirty white or creamy yellow; or greenish blue with bluish green 

(Yummy! I love Pizza Hut!  )


I've got a night photo of your Hz Richful Plaza
(the size so small )

the 2-towers each got their different names
The shorter tower in front is Hangzhou Commercial Building, while the taller tower behind is Richful Plaza (well, the characters on the tower top is self-explanatory )

Edit: again this time I present you all with this incredible 3D view of the building

OK, here is something already approaching ready model:

Amazing simfox!        

[spa]

Looks super! I like these complexes you've been doing. The city I'm currently working on is the capitol of my sim nation and I can already see this one being the headquarters of some ministry.

[Heblem]

no word to describe how realistic it looks  lol

[fusion_lemon]

very impressed~~~
looks sooo real!!! all this is onnly for a game!!! 

[SimFox]

the more i look at it the more it seems wrong in terms of proportions, I mean the floor height of the base floors. I believe I've overstretched them... I'll attempt to fix it...
For the game you say? Yes and no... I do it because I like doing it. The fact that it could be useful to somebody else is a big and pleasant bonus...

[fusion_lemon]

Ooops, I think that's a minor problem that SimFox can handle it easily 
The floor height ratio of upper floors to base floors is about 2:3, from the photo...

I'm so glad to hear from u about that, Thanks soooo much for your tremendous effort in making all these "real stuffs"!!! 

[SimFox]

yes it is!! And I made it 1:1,5 and it was actually quite visible and annoying...
the very bottom floor, though seem to be taller then other base floors, don't you think?

One thing that I can't figure out is what is there right on the street level under that curvy thing with big CITIC logo?

[Shadow Assassin]

the very bottom floor, though seem to be taller then other base floors, don't you think?

I've seen buildings with a bottom floor like that... it actually looks kind of realistic... ideal for a lobby area.

[fusion_lemon]

Oh icic, From the photo the ground floor does look taller than the other base floors, but not too much... (half a metre is about the size I guess )

Below the red CITIC logo?
On the wall there are the red logo and the Chinese characters and English characters of the bank I assume u know them...
Right on the street level I think it is just an open area for car park while there is a ramp right next to the wall for wheelchair/trolley access...

Thou not of much use, just see how the two-tower looks like in google map

perhaps we can have a glimpse of how the roof junk looks like~ lol


Edit: QiuTao tower in Google map as well
