I couldn’t find this on the workshop so I made it. I grabbed a SketchUp warehouse model for textures, then built my own topology in Blender. I changed something, one side of the bottom third – just made it symmetrical instead of the flat gray that’s covered up by the other part of the complex in real life.
Note – the after dark texture is uh, pretty dumb right now, I know. But the four lights at the top make those antennae light up real purty. I’ll continue to make this look better in the near future. Maybe the second building of the complex next, who knows.
Shoutout to all those other workshoppers and builders who made those other Chicago buildings happen.
