Awesome, looking foward to it allready :) And there are plenty of nice towers in Rotterdam if you looking for inspiration.
Mr Robville  [author] 11 Jan, 2016 @ 9:35am 
Thanks a lot! A new building is already in the making. :)

Fantastic work! This building looks exactly like the real one.
In-game this building is eye candy! so much quality work. One of the best buildings made for Cities Skylines so far.
Wonderful! Thank you very much for making and sharing.
Greetings From Rotterdam!

This tower is beautiful! very high quality, you did a great job, please make more!

Re: the discussion on what architectural style this building's supposed to represent, I'd suggest it's a straight-up late postmodern tower! PoMo had a lot of faux-art deco elements what with the newfound 'frivolity' of it.

@Sebastianek That is actually not a bad idea. It's a pretty prominent structure yet no one has made it yet. *starts looking up reference material*

@HatsuneKid,
Yeah, I let the game generate an LoD. I'm running the game myself on highest graphics so the LoD may be more bothersome for people that use lower draw distances. Apart from the missing spire I guess it's fine if you view it from 2-3 KM away but can be a real eyesore when viewed up close. I'll give it more attention next time.

Rotterdam !! I recognize this building at the very first sight.. would any modder here consider doing the Euromast tower for Skylines ?
btw keep up the good work and thank for this beauty

@Mr Robville Sounds cool. STC certainly is an odd building.

Lod is not so good.

@Mr Robville, the bombing of the city center was a unique opportunity to raise Rotterdam's status to a true metropolis. Look at the Bankgebouwen at Blaak, simple modern form, with yet enough traditional detail to make those structures gain urban dignity. Or the former NLB office... or the Groot Handelsgebouw. Or even the raw yet monumental Central Post office. 1940-1950s were great for Rotterdam, a great mixture of Witteveen's traditional vision and Van Traa's modern values. Now imagine that the whole city center could've looked like that. Of course, there's still a lot of great modern architecture in Rotterdam, Delftse Poort, Centraal, Red Apple, Maastoren, New Orleans, early modern Meent between Coolsingel and Binnerotte (the intersection of Meent x Coolsingel and then Meent x Rodezand are simply gorgeous, a great mix of pre and post war architecture), but there's no continuity, it's single structures and street sections in a sea of kitchy and soulless 1980s-early 2000s crap.

Sorry, have to post this in 2 messages because Steam limits to 1000 characters per message.

@NLX78, I might be doing some more buildings. It unfortunately takes a bit more time than I expected to make a proper building in this game. Though Admittedly I spent most time figuring out how the importer worked. :P But there's a long list of Rotterdam buildings that I would like to make such as the two you named, Delftse Poort, STC-Lloydkade, Beurs WTC, Station kapsalon and more. Maybe even the weird Calypso building :P
Mr Robville  [author] 3 Dec, 2015 @ 12:18am 
Thanks guys!
@Weissenberg,
You are spot on with that. I actually had to lookup art deco buildings to assure myself it was really supposed to be that style :P If you compare it to Waldorf Astoria, the Empire State Building or even Radio Kootwijk here on the Veluwe, it's far from it, though you can clearly see it has been inspired by it.

I kind of like the weird architecture you see in Rotterdam. It's about the only city in the region where architects are running loose. There's no cohesion at all between the many different styles you see, which is what many people I know despise, yet it kind of adds to that weird character of the city. It's a lively contrast of the new age when you look at photos of the city right after the Germans bombed it in WW2.

NLX78 2 Dec, 2015 @ 9:59am 
Thanks, looks great! Are you planning to make more Rotterdam buildings? As you can see with my picture i live there :) I would like to see The Red Apple and the Maastower most to get into my cities.
Weissenberg 2 Dec, 2015 @ 8:02am 
I've to admit, your model looks better than real life. It's a 1990s art-deco wannabe. But, it fits Rotterdam well, together with Kubuswoningen, Markthal and a few dozens other structures that look kitschy just after a few years. And I'm saying this as a Rotterdammer. 1980s to early 2000s were probably the worst time for Rotterdam architecture and yet we continue the trend buy building structures like De Rotterdam (great materials, simplicity... and a form of 4 doors wardrobe) or Markthal. Amsterdam with Zuidas, Oosterdokseiland and single structures like Justitiepalais is just lightyears ahead in understanding what defines modern architecture.
Mr Robville  [author] 2 Dec, 2015 @ 2:00am 
That's actually what I like about this tower, how it breaks the shallow skyline just like it does in reallife. You can see it stick out in Rotterdam above the midtown skyline together with two other towers. It's not a massive building yet it gives that idea, which is ideal for smaller cities. Besides if I scale it down it becomes disproportioned.
Thanks all!

Nice...!But 1:1 scale is too big. If you build one more 1:1.5 will be better.
clement.jp 1 Dec, 2015 @ 7:32pm 
good job ,super very nice,thank you.
mrfdot 1 Dec, 2015 @ 1:36pm 
Man this looks great, even though it's in Rotterdam, I'll use it for my city seattle since there's one similar! Thanks
Feindbold 1 Dec, 2015 @ 12:56pm 
thank you
Mr Robville  [author] 1 Dec, 2015 @ 12:47pm 
Ah yes of course! I've added the info. Thanks! :)
Feindbold 1 Dec, 2015 @ 12:39pm 
Thats a nice startup and a very good looking building aswell! A little more info on the model would be nice, maybe you could add the trianglecount for Model + Lod and the texture quality in the the description :)
