December 17, 200817 yr Hello folks!Let me introduce myself. I'm Alexandre Vieira, from Azores (9 islands on the atlantic north), Portugal. I love aviation of course but I'd like to be a 3D designer :( I went to Chicago some weeks ago and I got a passion by the Chicago's buildings, so, I tried making the Chase Building, and next made more one, and more one, so, I decided "Let's make all the city in 3D!" B) But although, this is to get personal experience =)Here are some shots: (from Gmax)Sears Tower (please note that the left building has been refurbished, it's the one it's "down" the sear's)333. Wacker DriveWrigley Building (has to be "updated")Stone ContainerOne Prudential Plaza (the Two one has also been refurbished and then I'll post it)NBC Tower:Michigan Plaza:Three First National PlazaWater Tower PlaceLeo Burnett Buildinghttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...ettBuilding.jpg900 North Michiganhttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...hmighican-1.jpg181 West Madison Streethttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...disonStreet.jpgHyatt Centerhttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...HyattCenter.jpgR.R.Burnelley Buildinghttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...leyBuilding.jpgOne Magnificent Milehttp://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...ificentMile.jpg[/img]And one of my "Chicago's 3D Skyline"http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/_-...goskyline3D.jpg[/img]I hope you like it, when I finish making one, I'll post here :( Sorry about the number of shots :( Alexandre Vieira - Currently making Chicago 3D.

December 17, 200817 yr No, they are really nice. There's just not much to say, besides good luck with the project. When you release it, i'll download it ;)
December 17, 200817 yr I looked. I was impressed. I was jealous of your skills. Now I wish you would make a trip to Hawaii and get motivated to design those objects. :( Best to you, Alexandre. Looks like it will be a nice addition to the FSX world.
December 17, 200817 yr It seems nobody liked it... :(Beautiful buildings are great in FS, but maintaining minimum framerates is greater. Art

January 9, 200917 yr Hi Alexandre,your work looks real impressive, especially if this is your first try with GMAX. once you relaese them i will definitely download them. now your bigger challenge os to try and teach us how to make buildings as good as those in gmax. :(

February 2, 200917 yr Excellent work, Alexandre! :( Your skills seem as though they may well be able to fill in the many missing gaps in the FS Chicago scenery.Would you also consider doing Navy Pier and the Art Institute (missing from FS for many years!)?Many thanks for your skilled efforts with this project! :( GaryGB
