My sketchup buildings

mikeR · #1 Posted **Sep 25, 2007, 1:01 AM**

first a museum or maybe an oprea house I haven't decided yet

this building is a residential building that is 820' tall I think it would fit in good in Chicago, Miami or maybe New York

what do you guys think and does anybody have suggestions for names

treras93 · #2 Posted **Sep 25, 2007, 1:04 AM**

i got nothing as for names

, but the buildings are awesome! especially the second one

the first is very interesting ,could use some more detail .
the second looks cool too ,i like how it looks different from the angles , how bout a spire?
can you do some more views of it?
eg

the entrance to the museum is the flat spot that is more visible in the second picture

I put a spire on building 2 but I probably wont finish it tonight
I will post more pics tomorrow

Wait. First things first. Is this going to be a place to just model your buildings or are you going to make a city because it's best you change the headline to a city name if your going to make one. If not then it's O.K.

I.D.K. any names for the towers but a spire would be nice like Mo. said.

The first building looks like a museum not an Opera House so it can be like a modern arts museum or something along the lines of modern.

here are 2 new versions of the unnamed residential buildings

which one does everyone like the best

Mocholate · #8 Posted **Sep 26, 2007, 12:09 AM**

no 1 for sure , nice job

Austin55 · #9 Posted **Sep 26, 2007, 12:09 AM**

V1.1

Aleks · #10 Posted **Sep 26, 2007, 12:12 AM**

Of course version #1 looks best! I was going to say it's too skinny but condo towers in Dubai are the same width and are probably taller!!!

treras93 · #11 Posted **Sep 26, 2007, 12:29 AM**

#1 is the best use that one!

FREKI · #12 Posted **Sep 26, 2007, 12:36 AM**

Very nice!

mikeR · #13 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 3:06 AM**

here is museum plaza which is a proposal in Louisville,Ky
I'm still working on it though

Aleks · #14 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 3:27 AM**

Nice. I don't think the elevator ride is 45 degrees though. Is it?

On the renderings it looked way steeper than this.

mikeR · #15 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 2:48 PM**

ya it probably is steeper. Thats the main part I'm still not even close to finishing.
The glass doesn't look right to me for some reason also. Any suggestions for m anyone

Your creativity is outstanding. The detail to the residential building blew me away. It literaly looked like a real project render. I suggest you make a city.

mikeR · #17 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 3:28 PM**

I made Wickliffe a few months ago before I really knew what I was doing
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=127625

I made almost all of my buildings inside out so when I went to render the city it didn't really work right. I might start on that city again though

M.K. · #18 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 3:44 PM**

Maybe the Opera House, first, could be called 'Accoustic Silence' just suggestion

Mocholate · #19 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 5:54 PM**

nice one , quite a unique building if not a bit whacky

mikeR · #20 Posted **Oct 7, 2007, 7:12 PM**

here is another new building I made
I call it the 360
