i uploaded these two buildings yesterday, but for some reason, the IMAGE is not showing on 3D Warehouse!! (the 3D view works, though)

Anybody has an idea why the Image might not be working??

three more buildings

Long time I dont post updates, but then, not many people seem to care

Ive made a few buildings for my own city, Novo Hamburgo, unfortunatelly, Novo Hamburgo image resolution is terribly low-res and blurry, so I am refusing to use the imagery from GE to texture my models. And Google review personel rejects all my Novo Hamburgo models until I object and explain the SAME thing to them, for each model

Torre Prata, my first building for Novo Hamburgo

Montab, in Porto Alegre

Box Center, Novo Hamburgo

Sunset, Novo Hamburgo

WTorreJK, São Paulo

I remade the IPASE building in Porto Alegre, with crispier textures

Ministério Público RS, Porto Alegre

Atlas Executive Center, Novo Hamburgo

Palacio da Justiça do RS, Porto Alegre

decaying buildings at Porto Alegre´s downtown edge

Sulbanco Tower, Porto Alegre

Plaza de Las Torres, Porto Alegre (low middle class apartment buildings on Porto Alegre´s south zone, on request of a guy who helped me gathering Porto Alegre building photos)

Edificio Consórcio (on the left)

AcesHigh · 1 Dec 2009, 20:07

two more, just out of the oven

Ed. Chaves

Ed. CRT (a phone company that was bought by Brasil Telecom, and Brasil Telecom was bought by Oi)

Cosmopolitan Center

just to remind you... Ed. is short to "Edificio" (building/tower/edification)

AcesHigh · 1 Dec 2009, 20:11

some real photos of the place... can you find the buildings Ive already created?

EddyNL · 20 Dec 2009, 10:06

Nice work!
How many buildings are accepted now?

AcesHigh · 14 May 2010, 21:56

long time I dont post here. Right now, I have 57 models accepted. And 62 uploaded. And a few others almost ready (just lacking a texture here and there). Like the Porto Alegre cathedral

Gaieus · 15 May 2010, 05:50

Now that' going to be an impressive model, congrats!
I bet you are suffering with the dilemma what to model detailed and what to neglect and only represent with the photos!

AcesHigh · 20 May 2010, 18:33

nah, I am keeping it pretty simple. Only things "detailed" that I modelled are the columns, but I do the columns with 5 faces only.

PS: "Ed." is portuguese shortening for "Edificio", which means, edificy, edification, something like that, and we use the word for many highrises and buildings. Its kinda like BURJ (Tower) in arabic... its in front of the name of several of Dubai buildings
anyway, my latest models
