CAD, I see you've lit up the top few floors of the fingertips on the Bow, looks good! (it won't look exactly like that, put pretty close). I think you should light up the spine a little bit like that in the night shots as well. I still think the spine will appear a little bit wider than what you show, but I'm just being picky.

CAD thanks for doing those, beautiful. it gives a good picture of what buildings are coming in, i hadn't heard/seen of the herald plaza one before

Wow CAD - very impressive. Wicked job my friend.

drooooll cooooll!!
Do you have a higher res of the third image? That is absolutely rockin render work!! Santiago's bridge fits so nicely now with the additional density..

In the last rendering whats the wide building that kind of looks like stairs?

Thanks guys!
I might touch up the Bow a bit. Thanks for the tips YNAT.

Bo I emailed you a high res copy.

The building that looks like stairs is the Concord Pacific condo:

By the way, it's not 100% accurate.

That is the 'Erickson', designed by the late Arthur Erickson (Concord Pacific is behind it)

Eh, I think there's a little too much master planning in Calgary, period.

Don't worry, I doubt half of it will ever be built as planned. Just look at the Arriva site for reference.

If you would like, I could send you (low res copies is all I have, but they should be good enough) the elevation drawings. PM me your email addy, I wouldn't be able to send them before Tuesday though.

Thank you CtrlAltDel and mersar for the info.

CtrlAltDel · #**534** Posted **Jul 31, 2009, 11:02 PM**

And another...

by me.

wow. that new bridge will certainly up the hot appeal of calgary's skyline! it looks so modern! looks like the brutalist buildings in c-town will now have to compete with the modern ones for the most skyscrapers from their respective era!

Ruckus · #**536** Posted **Jul 31, 2009, 11:18 PM**

Wow at the last image, truly transforming

You Need A Thneed · #**537** Posted **Jul 31, 2009, 11:35 PM**

Awesome!

O-tacular · #**538** Posted **Jul 31, 2009, 11:42 PM**

After seeing this rendering I've changed my mind about the eau claire joined tower twins. They look like they will be a welcome addition to the skyline actually. A nice departure from the norm.

Jimby · #**539** Posted **Aug 1, 2009, 12:49 AM**

That is great CtlAltDel! I look forward to rolling across the new bridge

Vascilli · #**540** Posted **Aug 1, 2009, 12:51 AM**

I've noticed an absence of colourful buildings. Like something red or orange or something.
