255 George Street (NAB Building)

Description
Completed in 1986, 255 George Street was National Australia Bank's primary Sydney office until 2021 (I think it's still a tenant but not the 'anchor' tenant, BOQ took this position in March - the star is no longer on the building). It shares a plaza with Suncorp Place. The scuplture "Bird Totem" I published yesterday sits in that plaza.

This is a standalone version of the tower - I have modelled the entry shelter, and the rear bridge, but these will be included in a later publication once I figure out how I'm going to do Suncorp Place (most likely it will be one contiguous block, like I'm planning with Grosvenor Place). This item will suffice for most people who aren't obsessively trying to recreate Sydney, though. :)

The building is approximately 128m tall, 32 stories above ground. It features a partially modelled lobby with layered glass walls (the render order sometimes flips depending the angle you look at it, unfortunate but unavoidable). It uses nobase shader. I opted not to animate the revolving doors this time, partly because there were two different sizes of revolving chamber on the building. Door markers are placed at the front two doors.

No required props or mods.

Awesome work, NAB operates entirely out of 2 Carrington Street (Brookfield Place) now, that's a pretty good looking building as well.

That's a sharp looking building. It would be a centerpiece in any downtown area.

It's a shame that so many buildings in Sydney have wonky elevation. In any case, it'll be nice to see the other transport hubs made, especially Town Hall and Circular Quay, and with your level of detail they'll be guaranteed to look great.

@Jenper I have the architectural drawings for 60 Martin Place (and the church). I made the MLC tower 3 years ago but held off finishing it because I wasn't confident about the plaza. I'd like to to do the Post Office but it's QVB-tier.
@NeedlessMemeing Central has been undergoing new construction since before I started making models.. have never decided whether to reflect it's new look once complete, or try to recreate an older state - either way I need to reach out to the city archives, and it is incredibly complicated in terms of elevation. You could consider it one of my white whales. I have architectural drawings for Town Hall (building) which could incorporate the subway station, and reference photos for the Wynyard glass dome, St James, and Circular Quay. I'm hoping to create the Circular Quay wharves next.

Do you have plans to ever create some train stations from around Sydney such as Central?

*you'll never match the specularity you get from nobase without nobase, I mean. As in, best to work against it in most cases.
