Amazing!! Didn't someone ALSO create a google 3d of aLL the buildings (un rendered, not as detailed as these) upcoming in Mumbai? Can someone post that here too?
it is difficult to picturize all tall structures in line... and we won't know how the skyline would appear until the buildings are topped out... unless of course we map these in google earth... for which we don't have to wait for years to come... so any volunteers to map constructed buildings?
I am using Google sketchup... it's fairly easy... use developer websites to check location and spatial orientation... then use google earth to zoom in on the site of construction... you then have to import the location to sketchup... (under Tools --> Use current view)... then lay the base of the tower out... go thru sketchup samples... the only calculations i use is when there's no mention of the height of the building... as a rule, a 50 storey building is 550 ft... (50 X 11 = 550)... use the tape measure... or place the model in google earth temporarily to check the height and rest is approximation...
Most times you can also locate the building under construction in google earth... then simply use the image to lay the base of the tower out... i recommend using the pencil in sketchup...
Thats incredible Willmore.. Any chance of seeing The Indiabulls towers? Will be nice to see those in corelation to Orchid Crown.. as they are more or less in line with them.. Will be nice to the co relation of Indiabulls, Orchid Crown and Sumer..
I infact want to start with Indiabulls SkyXXX... but do we have a render for any of these... also i m confused about their location... the developer website puts all of them in the same area... any thots? also other u/c buildings above 50 floors that i have missed? m sure there r... name 'em... and if possible send me links to the render...
