Inspirations

The way i came up with the "i-building" was very simple, actually it just hit me. I thought that today, I hardly see any building that looks like its purpose of been built. As i spoke to my tutor, he told me a few buildings that have been built like that, therefore i was eager to see them so I searched and I have posted some below.
The Big Duck in Flanders, New York, built in 1931

The Big Chicken in Marietta, Georgia, built in 1963


Randy's Donuts in Los Angeles, California, built in 1952


Teapot Dome Service Station in Zillah, Washington, built in 1922

For more buildings or architecture like the above, here is the link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_architecture

i just finished my UT today so i don't think i'll pop by uni sorry! ><

But i don't mind helping you out :O!!! It'll be a bit confusing communicating through text, but if you're really specific i can hopefully understand what you're referring to haha!

CEPT i'm not pro with the program k???? :S Especially textures! textures never do what i want them to do!

Otherwise, here's a REALLY good site for everything you would want to know about UT - my friend Herry found it so credits go to him haha!
