the model is pretty accurate - give or take a quarter of an inch in places. i constructed from the 1920 blueprints i found 'laying around'

Looks great--but "belltower" (sic) should be two separate words:

Somehow, I managed to graduate from college right before computer classes became widespread. So that shit always amazes me.

neat. its never dawned on me that there is actually something INSIDE the belltower.

1/18/2009 11:49:51 AM

no, you are incorrect - THERE IS NOTHING inside - it was never finished. Everything you see inside - stairs, bells, playing case, clockdrive: were NEVER installed. The only thing that is in the tower is in the belfry - 4 speakers that amplify electric fake bell sounds.

1/18/2009 12:05:29 PM

interesting

what program did you use?

1/18/2009 12:08:02 PM

ms paint

1/18/2009 12:08:31 PM

^^^that's kind of what i'd always assumed, but never really gave it much thought either way.

AutoCAD for plan and section manipulation, and sketchup for the model and flythrough. Sketchup's animation capabilities are extremely limited, I set up the cams so that none flew through walls, but when I rendered it, it still did anyway I'm trying to learn modo to to animations, but its a huge program and there aren't that many tutorials.

Hey this is pretty cool. I'm going to send this to people at work.

1/18/2009 12:36:47 PM

where do you work?

1/18/2009 12:49:22 PM

Nice dude. Id lighten up the base, exp when you come out of the tower. Other that, its a top notch design.


Reminded me of one of the old hover screen savers where you went through the maze.

1/18/2009 1:15:20 PM

yeah this is pretty cool. well done

1/18/2009 1:18:18 PM

yeah, i plan to retexturize it in the 'day' where there is even light

1/18/2009 1:26:33 PM
