Toppling! ☀

Hi Puma,

I'd say that the "architectural massing" is already fine (although there must be some structures under the seats to support those slanting areas).

Now you'd definitely need to add

some (even) better textures (from a distance, this current texture is tiling badly as well as too "uniform" for the building) some modelling/texturing details (like around the arches - they obviously need to be supported somehow) if you make sect5ions, yes, definitely use TIG's SectionCutFace plugin so that the massing doesn't look "hollow"
Otherwise I love the ones when you put it into the environment - that's very "professional" looking (although I don't really like this term itself).

Please, carry on developing the project.

inspiring illusion... 👍

I would have cantilevered the second story out over the reception desk, or what you want to call it. Basically, it feels like there should be more seating, if this is for a school it could get pretty crowded. I don't know your needs though, so it might be plenty, but 36 seats doesn't feel like a lot. Good work on the design though.

Really nice intersting, vehicle, Puma

There you go 😄

nice, almost looks like a scene out of grand theft auto hee hee (young CJ sitting in the car driving in San Andreas)

Puma, great job! Hope to see more 😄

Sorry, part 2 was never made.

Well, you should 😄
Part 1 had some very cool texturing tips I didn't know of.

geh4evr - Astronaut? Perhaps. On the internet you can be anything you imagine. 😲

😲 I have a model with more than 1.2 million polys and it's only 6-7 Mb.

Anyway, glad you could fix/recover it. It's a nice, interesting and funny one! 👍

Well, they're not renders from SketchUp or some render programme, but they're ingame screens of Gta: San Andreas... Textured version:

Puma, this is a really nice pod. I would call it beatle 😉

oh, and geh4evr is right. this vehicle is destined for rendering, cause then you can have a glowing energy connection between the engines...
