Excellent work!

Hello Josh, nice renders! Did you do the photography and retouching also? DeStephano went out of business? Thats a surprise, they were a good firm, any reason you know of?

Yeah, I did the photography for the backplates, but not on the first image. That's stock. The core section is a little bit too thin, but in theory there could be a large cantilever as the core is enormous because the building was designed to be 1/3 taller than I've shown. I agree with the miniature feeling on the last image. The backplate imagery I had to work with was really really low resolution, so to deal with that I pumped up the lens-blur. It was kind of the lesser of two evils.

CG looks good! The HDR effect/high pass in the backplate photo is a bit too much make the images way to sharp! nice works!

Gorgeous images, thought I have to agree with Juraj about the "miniature look" on the last image. Not being an architect or structural engineer I'm sure I have no idea about this, but could this building actually be built? It looks to me like the weight of the upper floors would be too great for such a thin core section. Someone correct me. Either way, great renderings.

The first shot is excellent. Great feeling to the shot.

i love the first one in the nights and i like the idea that you make an floor in the middle open keep move forward :p

my goodness............:o........Awesome!

They do now :- ). The third shot, from the river is beautiful, great perspectives were chosen. My only critigue is the unreal camera on last picture (too distorted) and the DOF chosen, it makes for tilt-shift "miniature" effect.

That;s amazing shot ! Rest of the pictures don't show, wrong links

Thanks for the quick response Ryder; are they showing up for you now?
