The Eiffel Tower with his original design in 1889.I made it with Autodesk Inventor 2017 with the drawings of mister Gustave Eiffel.( http://passerelles.bnf.fr/albums/tour_eiffel/index.htm )Not all dimensions are shown on the drawings. So i made screenshots that I imported into inventor and that I scaled to have the right dimensions.An other challenge is the size of the file. After import (i use a step file) in 3dsmax, the file size is about 1.3 Go. After optimisation, the size of the 3D Sudio Max file is 280Mo.I use the modifier pro optimiser whith 3D Sudio Max 2016 and the software polygon cruncher to reduce the file.I also put the names of the 72 scientists on the occasion of the universal exhibition of paris in 1889
This tower is very detailed. I made all the parts like they appear in the drawings.
