Architectural Site Links Archive - Ongoing

[TheAllusionist]

I will continue to add architectural site links as I find them. Some may be great, some may be bizarre and some may be useless. I will rate them with "*", the more the better!

[pradipta]

anonyma, thanks for the links. i would love to join in the 07-skyscrapper compettion. Is there anybody wish to team up with me?

[cybeo]

Hi pradipta
You can count me in
Anonyma, ... want to join Team Pradeo.
Can be Team Anopradeo

Cybeo
provide a variety of blueprint concepts and some of the modelling.

Pradipta
modelling of detail stuff and texturing of building

Anonyma
Modelling of scenery, final render and choice of view

Someone else
We need someone to create the remainder of the city. The Meca guy would be a good choice.

Everyone provides ideas and criticisms, and can contribute in any area but concentrates on areas of their strength.
My choice is for a building about the height of the Trump tower in Chicago. It's difficult to give character to something too tall or maintain consistency, plus there's a problem of rendering scenery properly as there is so much of it from a high camera location. If we had a private thread on this forum we could go about the project very nicely

Indeed a good collection of Arch. resource sites. Can you guys "also" tell me the Arch. CG sites (the best one).

Special Hi to Pradipta and Neha
