Peachtree Plaza/Renaissance Center
Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta GA USA
-NOTE- Fixed & Updated Custom LOD, which was misnamed and not being found by the game, The update should sync automatically but if the building looks messy from far away you may want to bulldoze and rebuild it)
-NOTE- Added LOD illumination map
Level 6 Unique building, template used & stats unchanged from Sea and Sky Scraper (does not prevent or interfere with building the original landmark). No Milestone Requirements to build.
Due to Architect copypasta, this also doubles as the Detroit Renaissance Center’s central tower.
Included:
-After Dark ready, full illumination map and prop lighting matching the actual building in Atlanta
-Specular map, meaning the glass is shiny whereas the concrete parts are not shiny
-Custom LOD with minimal triangles
-Color variations mapped and allowed for mod users who prefer to tinker with the color, although the default color variations are all the same (coloring applies to blue glass sections only)
-Tri count 577, LOD tri count 61
Included is a photo of the actual building at night, so you can see why i lit it the way i did.
At the top of the actual building in Atlanta the word “Westin” appears and on the Detroit version this is a large GM logo. I chose to include neither so it would be more interchangeable.
This building was a landmark included in something-city3000, which has had many of its buildings recreated by workshop users. My inspiration was basically the lack of Atlanta buildings available in the workshop. The actual building has much more detail on the roof and base, but because of the usual GPU reasons I have simplified those areas (the base of the real building is a large and complex ten story deal which is not square since it fills out its entire block and that block is very non-rectangular since Atlanta’s roads are not on a grid in any way shape or form).
This is my first asset upload, made 100% from scratch with blender and gimp (it’s not an import of an already finished google earth building or anything) I’m not an experienced modeler so this has been very much a learning experience.
Included is a screenshot of my 2 (so far) Atlanta buildings with included. (Note that the actual Coca Cola HQ is not that tall)
