Aces International Trade Center (552 meters)

Hello guys... I created this building a few years ago in Rhino, using the poor quality Flamingo renderer for Rhino.

A few months ago, I decided to redo the building in grand style at Sketchup, with very complex geometry and super detailed.

I postponed posting the thread with the building images because first I wanted to do internal renders of the offices showing the desks, etc.

Since Ive been busy with plenty of other projects (like building Porto Alegre in 3D for GoogleEarth), I decided to post the pictures that I already rendered, since I realized it could be quite a long time before I finished the internal renders.

So there you are... ACES ITC for you! Hope you like! 519 meters to roof, 552 with spire!

thanks guys.

choose your prefered shot, be it for aesthetic beauty, detail or just the angle it shows the building.

speaking of angles, this is one of my favorite features when I first designed the AcesITC... the amount of different angles you see the building and its different from each one...

Yes I agree, theres just so much to look at, I came back and realized I never saw those night shots, you have some serious talent pal, I'm speechless I wish I had more words but this is just perfection!

My favorite shot is 38, it seems like that is the back of the building, thats my favorite angle of the building.

I hate shot 38 for one problem I noticed after rendering (but then, too much rendering time and I let it pass, after all, it was not paid work hehe)

That is absolutely AMAZING!

I'm sorry if you've been asked already, but are you a professional architect, and if not, WHY NOT?!

The work is very good of course, but for some reason the shape of building remainds me to be based on another one in Chicago city, where you put probably yours, Trump Tower of Chicago for upper part. The lower part is of course north-american styled but with your touches.

The interior/ superb rendering of the glass make this so fun to look at. You even included a window washing machine.

Awesome work again Trantor. I love the renderings, they look amazingly real!

The design is superb too. Although I'm not too fond of the bottom floors. The main tower is good though. It does remind me of Trump a little. But your effort is outstanding! And the night/interior renderings make me jealous!

When will we see another of your designs? And more of those sexy renders?

Breathtaking! When it comes to the combination of good design, attention to detail and great renders, you're works probably rank first here.

The street level interaction is horrible(as with most new "hip" towers), and its to pudgy toward the bottom. But that all that I dont like about it.
