In the city in live, Bergen op Zoom, a new belfry tower will be built on the main square.
Bergen op Zoom had a belfry in the 14th or 15th century.

A lot has been discussed the last couple of weeks, they don't want a modern design because it has to fit in the historic main square.

There are no images of the old belfry so architects and artists have to design a new one.
I've used a drawing made by a local architect and made a 3d SketchUp model.
Please take a look!

Thanks for your comment Csaba.
I am now working on a church which has been converted to a theatre. To complete the square I still have about 15 building to model.

So more to come!

Put some weapons on it, then render it.

Yehaa!

Google accepted 3 more models in Bergen op Zoom!
A jeweler, and 2 restaurants, all on the main square.

Please take a look at the enclosed .KMZ file.

My first try:
[flash=425,355:3uwjs6z8]http://www.youtube.com/v/OtvALXXgcTA&hl=nl&fs=1[/flash:3uwjs6z8]

I work in this hotel, it's 600 years old.
Located in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands.

Small update.
Changed the lower part of the building.

Don't know what to do with the windows in the lower part.
Any ideas?

Aha! Thats why the checkbox option is called "cut opening" not "cut OPENINGS"!

Well, let me know when you finish the plugin, looking forward to it.
Thanks for your advise.

I think I'm going to mirror the cut component to work around this problem.

Cool model.
How did you get that cartoony render?

Yep, everything selected.
So 12 edges and 4 faces.
I want the component to cut through the front and back.

I'm a disaster. Tried all axis, still no window cutting.
Could you attach a .skp maybe?

Guys,

I need your help:
I can't cut a window in a 30 cm wall...

The bottom wall is a single face. I cut an opening and make a component, paste this component next to the original opening. The new component cuts an opening, no problems there.

The top wall is 30 cm thick.
Same story, cut out a window and made a component.
But, no matter what I try this new component window WILL NOT cut a new opening!

Hope you can help me out.

Looks good, keep 'em coming.
What render you using, Kerkythea?

Nice render.
I wish I could make renders like that with KT!

Hi guys,

Last week I went to the "Wilhelminapier" in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Some great skyscrapers are being built here. http://www.dewilhelminapier.nl/

I want to design a skyscraper that houses appartements, offices and shops.
Started modelling in SU and this is the result to far:

• 120 appartements
• Shops and offices in the lower floors.
  I also wanted a kind of urban roof garden where residents and visitors can relax, get together and enjoy the great views of the Rotterdam Skyline.

I've got a lot of work to do so comments, critics and tips welcome.

Not bad for a first model.
Got any more houses?

Comments:
I'd delete some windows in the garage. The whole neighbourhood can see your nice cars now...

Nice renders Ray!
Improved a lot since your first renders.

BTW I couldn't get Hypershot working. My PC is to slow I think!

Nice start Ben.
Maybe add some windows?

Ward

Keep going Ray. This car looks sweet.
You still render with Kerky?

Nice post again, keep 'em coming!
You must have a monster-pc.

Nice models! Keep 'em coming.

Open TTD rocks!
