That's a pretty cool design! I really like it, it just needs more details. The only thing I hate about odd-shaped skyscrapers is that I can't make floors without ruining the smooth-looking facade. That building is pretty tight though, looks like a museum, or a fancy store from Japan.

Thanks for the tutorial toyota, but that's not really what I meant.

I meant round facades for buildings like this, where none of the floors are the same but the facade looks smooth and awesome!

link.

Thanks anyways, and you helped Krases with your tutorial too!

Amazing detail!I love the fisrt building but the second is a little too...

I love the textures on the second building it's just the shape.The textures and the shape of the first building is fantasic!The deatail is really good!

That first building looks pretty tight. I have a feeling it would look great in Shanghai or in any Chinese city. I love the crown too.

This reminds me of you. The futuristic buildings, the futuristic cars, maybe you should work for a "futuristic" company.

The building on the left is once again a good and creative design. The shape of the building on the right isn't to my liking, although I can't put my finger on what's wrong - but something is.

I just LOVE your designs, they're so far out, but I can see cities full of them in the distant future. Not too crazy about the last one, its a bit too bulky for me, but hell I give you props for the effort you put into it
