Whichever one is most popular 48 hours from now will be made my final version and released (Sunday in the US). Then i'll start working on a version for each road set.

Votes so far:

First: .5*

Second: 2

Third: 3.5*


* Either/or is counted as a half vote in each category.

Third one is really the best looking one, but might have too less company color in it :roll:

3rd looks more realistic
(If possible you could make like a little sign showing the company name out at the front)
Also what did happen the the little helli-pad on the roof?, I like to fly in and make a big entrence :D

Heck, this could be the start of a nice looking mall

Even more changes

I made a few adjustments to the third one. Which do you like better?:

A few adjustments. :p
<br />The helipad lights work just like the ingame helipad.  And I put company color signs by the entrance gates.

to be honest, with the helipad, it looks interesting, but i have to admit its a bit 'blocky' in shape.

Sometimes that's how office buildings come. I vote 3, looks very nice with the shaded glass. Good job!

Yes, nice with the helipad, looking great...

I would say that to make it perfect, a good thing would probably be finer shading on windows(shade inside a window a bit too, not just plain color windows), but otherwise, you've pretty much zeroed in on this one, man.

I prefer without the helipad (after all, you can't actually land a helicopter on it, can you? ;) And you can always build a second helipad building out the back, if you really want).

I'm now working on compatibility with the various road sets.

Once I finish each i'll post a sample and wait for the road set creator's permission before releasing the GRF.

First up: andrex's road set

Permission granted, as I stated in my email. Very good HQ despite the windows style doesn't actually match the roof style.

Hey, man, just out of curiousity, did you draw it like this intentionally? Makes it kinda look like it's leaning forward a bit. Regardless, really nice building. And, as others have mentioned, how about reworking the older iterations?

The original was the same way, only the company colors on the roof and the smaller size make the effect less noticable there. It's also a matter of perspective within the game, which makes editing a little complicated.
