      I have spent over 300 hours recreating the World Trade Center in 3D as it stood before it was destroyed in 2001. The model is very detailed and accurate and has been modelled using blue prints, diagrams and hundreds of photographs. The model includes all 7 buildings of the complex in full 3D detail, as well as the Plaza level (with all 4 outdoor sculptures). The model only has 1 texture [the plaza floor] everything else is in full 3D with materials applied.

      I have used Sketchup to create the model, and Vray for Skecthup to render.
      There is 190465 faces in the model.

      High resolution renders:

          Extraordinary! If god is in the details then this is a sacred model. You've brought the WTC back to life. The renders really capture the way the site looked and felt. Very, very impressive.

              i look forward to it, especially if you were to do a render of all the buildings together 😍 SU would undoubtedly have a very hard time dealing with a model that large though 😞

                    Those look great, but I especially like your wireframe rendering.

                        I did start the model just for fun, but near completion of the model I decided to set up my own website. Thanks for your lovely comment πŸ’š

                        Thanks everyone else for your nice comments, I didn't expect such good replies. πŸ˜„
