The quest for the perfect Roof

About a week ago Mr. r@m decided to show us his sketches for Yas Hotel for Yas Marina Circuit Project (Picture 01).

I´ve noticed roof mesh should be a bit smoother, and had my own 3d making attempt, which result one can see at pictures 2 - 4.

In my point of view we should focus at face mapping on that roof, and a 2400 faces count would be a reasonable number due to GP4 PC spec demandings. Besides, mesh would be as smoother as we could get and there would be no harm for PO in the end.

So that r@m had a new look on to his job, improving its shape and face number just a bit. He got some of the original elevations of the hotel from Asymptote Architecture Website (http://www.asymptote.net) which helped a lot for better accuracy (pictures 4-8)

This way I think we pushed hard enough to achieve such a great result (Pic 09).

Hope you enjoy too.

A últiam imagem (pela colocação da câmera) lembra um barbeador.

Incrivelmente impressionante o início do trabalho.

Congratulations, friends!
