TheQ Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Finally after 2.5 years of planning, modeling, source image finding, photographing, purchasing and building, I can finally present to you Downtown of Oulu, Finland in microscale. This 1.5 m x 1.2 m large creation contains 6 city block x 7 city block chunk of the finnish city Oulu containing following "well known spots" of the downtown and water front area: Theatre Main library Market square with tents Old market hall Toripolliisi ("market square policeman") status Rotuaari shopping area City hall Scandic City hotel Radissons SAS hotel ... and bunch of other sights familiar with local people. As for the technical details, creation is build from roughly 30.000 bricks and it was designed using city's online map resources, Google Maps, Bing maps (helicopter images helped a lot) and tons of legwork. Design can be found from Stud.io gallery. Feel free to download the model but do note that 3d model is not yet final, it is missing the "waterfront" area and final supports. I have also older versions of the city in Stud.io if you are interested in the progress of the city. More pictures of the creation can be found from Flickr gallery. Quote
Toastie Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 This is so beautiful. It feels like that. Not knowing that spot on Earth - simply watching your photograph of your rendition of Oulu makes me feel of "knowing" that particular place. This is an incredible piece of work. Congratulations! Best wishes Thorsten Quote
