Sydney Tower (1:1.25)

Description
NOTE: I have released an improved version of this item which is 1:1 scale. You can find it here:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1433114151

An iconic part of the skyline in Sydney, Australia.
This is a 1:1.25 recreation of the tower, including the contemporary Westfield mall and office block at the base. It unlocks at milestone 5, it's based off the Grand Mall in terms of stats, but I bumped up the number of jobs a bit to reflect the combined space.

I have modeled the storefronts in the spirit of the stores there today, but haven't included any signage props - just lights, a/c units, solar panels etc. I didn't want to force any custom props.
This prop would make a good addition: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1296472575

No DLC or other workshop props/assets required.
Triangles: Main/LOD 4,305 / 161
Textures: 2048x2048 D,A,I,S,N

This is my first asset for Cities: Skylines, and my first completed 3D project in general. I learned a lot along the way, please let me know what you think! I have ideas on how to improve it, but was keen to publish it.

Just FYI for anyone who subscribed to this thread and requested a 1:1 scale, I published it last night as a new item on the workshop. It's a lot better, check it out! :)

Great job! An iconic example of a truly stupid kind of colonial architecture. Can't have a convincing Sydney without it.

Not sure why it's flagging that one but not the other twitter link, but it's legit ^_^

Hi Stevie, thanks! Aiming to be done with the 1:1 this weekend (https://twitter.com/bobsymay/status/1000737271086116864?s=19) . White tower is the High Interest Tower from the vanilla game, used it for height comparison.
I'd like to try a Sydney vehicle next, so I have a draft mesh of the older T set (Tangara) trains to pick up after this.

Hi Robert, great work! Hope to see a 1:1 version soon. Also, what building is that white tower in your screen shots? And, what's next on your list?
Robert  [author] 24 May, 2018 @ 6:28pm 
Thanks! I have an improved and 1:1 model built now, just taking a while to sort out the texture map layout :)

I'll like to see a 1:1 version released seperately too :D as a Sydneysider I love having this building in my cities!! Thanks for your work!

Chifley has an interesting, non-rectangular footprint that'll make it hard to faithfully reproduce as an asset, but it's a nice building, I'll add it to my list!

Cool, thanks! I'll push the model to both scales then, with tweaks to mind the height of levels separately.

@Robert, People tend to release separate versions :-)
