I can't wait to take that shot.

Nice to see my photo's been brought to real life.

Thanks drum... and thanks for the pic.

Someone over at Skyscraper City complained that the top wasn't pointy enough... Sheeesh! I did mention it was bad Photoshop! LOL

So I refined it a bit.... I mean I went to the future and took a better shot.

Nice Job, Traynor. No criticism against you on your efforts, just a comparison to one of the first renders...

Ritz Carlton

 

[Traynor]

^ You're right marcus_a_j

I should have consulted some renders before I created mine! Ooops my bad!

Thanks for the heads-up. I hope this is a little better...

Yeah but this one is fantasy, the previous (above) will be what it actually will look like.

 

[caltrane74]

Traynors render is probably closer to what the building will actually look like compared to the company render... which is odd.

(at least visa via the quality and look too the glass)

Thanks Traynor. Looks good.

Thanks guys for the compliments!

To respond to your comment Caltrane74, I too was surprised at the colour of the glass and the overall look on the finished product but that is their own cladding I worked with. I'm not good at Photoshop really and I have no idea of how to use it. (I actually work in MS Paint and then just use PS to smooth out some rough edges... I learned how to use their blur tool! Yeah!)

So all the glass in my render came from cloning the bits and pieces from drum118's original as seen below.

I'll try to do another one from another angle if I can find an original that is easy to work with as drum's was.

2 November 2009 photo update

How it looked from the west end this morning:

Yeah, driving by the site yesterday, I realized I'm really loving this building--a classic gimic-free structure that shouldn't date.

I don't think it's odd, I find the buildings never look as good as the company's render.

I don't think it's odd, I find the buildings never look as good as the company's render.

Except in Redroom's photos

funny (odd ) that a guy on an internet website playing with MS PAINT for free can do a better and more realistic job than the company which is paying its render designer thousands of dollars for a oneoff piece of work.
