DESCRIPTION

The Old Water Tower on Michigan Avenue in Chicago is dear to my family as my great-grandfather is recognized with a plaque for his service to the city during the Great Chicago Fire and as mayor in the 1890's. While there are some models of this building online, I wanted to create a version as realistic and detailed as I could. This is the first project I modeled from scratch completely in Blender. Please note the rest of the city in the preview images is not included in the model, only the water tower itself.
