Nice job man! Some of the proportions are a bit weird, but for the most part you did really well. I really like the fact that you bothered to model part of the neighborhood as well as the building. What program and cel shader are you using? The shading looks a lot like that of the futurama game. One suggestion: maybe you should use a different anti-aliaser. Some of the lines look a bit jagged right now.

Wow, that looks great! Well done fellow German! (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Perhaps you can get the background silhouette a bit more in perspective. I think it is originally parallel to the pe-building, which means that it should be bigger an nearer on the right side of that picture.

btw. Welcome to Peel 

I see that you already know how to use the UBB, but if you got further questions about this message board, its slang and traditions, you'll probably find some answers in this FAQ.

Above all: Enjoy your stay here at nerd world!

Good idea... of course i would have to create my own background (this one is copied) but that should be easy.

Is is just me or is there a lot of Germans around here on this site.  I'm not discriminating I like Germans they're cool.  I even have a friend whose German.  By the way she's a girl!!!
Sorry to get off topic.

mhm...could you be more specific (proportions) - i would like to edit it so that it looks more like the original.

Ok, for starters, the part of the building that connects the tower to the hanger should be a bit bigger. Once that's fixed, the two tanks with pipes coming out of them (on that part of the building) should also be made bigger. Then, you should make the parts of the tower that stick out a bit proportional to the rest of the tower. In other words, they should be thin at the top, but fat at the bottom. finally, the windows on the side of the hangar should be a little shorter.
sorry if I'm being a little picky, but I think that it will really make it look more acctuate if you make them.

Thats exactly what i wanted to know.

Thanks

i changed the windows (new form, transparent) and increased the resolution: http://www.pr0g.net/intrasips/LEX/planetexpress.jpg
i left a few things out, because they depend on how thick/thin the tower is going to be.

Very good PX Building LEX. You've made a nice job. Like you said, is like the one that hobojobo made. You're missing the radio tower at the top of the building.

If you meant this one:

I can help!

@JavieR: No, but thanks i could use this too (its still missing). I meant the two words PLANET EXPRESS on the upper tower.

@Blender-1729: haha!! afaik even marc (admin) is german (or someone translated his email for him).

I will 'repair' (i believe i moved it into another directory) the link in a few hours, when i upload a new picture of the planet express building.

Why do you think i wrote 'haha'? I mixed up your name with blender, the programm i use to render.


But anyway, here is a new img:

There are still many things to do (i hadn't enough time) but critics are welcomed (exept about this, because im just working on it: windows 'lower tower', ugly pipe in the right, radio tower, backgraound)!

Especially about these textures i used (and be honest it only takes a few minutes to create them so i have no problem with doing it again).

Thanks.

I could use your[/i] help: I need a few pics of PX's environment/neighborhood to model  it but i am not that kind of fan who knows where to find good ones (I had to view 3 eps to find five or six pics of the building itself)....

LEX - First of all, awesome 3d!  Establishing shots are a good way to get looks at the neighborhood around the P.E. building.  "Xmas Story" has at least one good one, and "Bendless Love" has a few good ones.  I think SP3K and "The Series has Landed" both have a few good ones too.  Stay tuned to this very post, and I'll edit it every time I notice a good shot of the neighborhood.

(edit): "Bendless Love" also has a pretty good establishing shot of Robot Arms Apartments.  You ought to make that your next model (if you didn't have other plans already).
