Nakagin Capsule Tower

[BBB3]

Hi Folks,
Long time no see. Here's my latest personal project, which I'd been working on for the past three months, very much on-and-off. It is my rendition of Kisho Kurokawa's 1972 Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo. It was also an attempt at building a detailed urban set. All modeled in 3ds Max and rendered in V-Ray (of course). The scene uses Itoosoft's RailClone extensively. Other plugins used include Forest Pack and GrowFX for the vegetation. You'll find more info and more shots on my blog.
I've also posted a large series of test renders that illustrate the modeling process from scratch.
Hope you like it and, as always, very grateful for your feedback.

Annoyingly good as usual - it'd be interesting to know your through process and what you were looking at for each of the wip steps, It'd be great to have a commentated walkthrough of something like this!

Incredible work as always. I am totally in love with the last two interior shots.

I love the minature tower in the interior shot, other than that once again incredible work.

Im having a hard time believing that some of these are not actual photographs, stunning work!!

*EDIT*

Holy crap dude, I thought you comped the building into existing photos till I saw the test renders, even more impressed now

ha.. finally ive found *one* tiny, teeny flaw in one of your images! the closeup of the top of the tower. i see a single texture repeat on the rusted cladding.. for some reason that makes me feel vaguely better about my own work.

as always Bertrand.. stunning.

on a related note.. i cant believe they are planning to demolish it.

some developer can probably make more money with a modern box store; probably a Walmart.

Fantastic renders and building...Sad to see how deteriorated it is.

I really wish you'd stop posting those half ass'd WIPs and show us what you're really capable of...

It's so good it's not even funny... lol...
Superb work, Bertrand!
