Practical Modeling of an Architectural Landmark

The nature of those problems can vary widely. One model might be as simple as a rectangular form with photo-realistic textures applied to the polygons to give the illusion of complexity. Another model might approach completeness, with the geometry of all architectural features, even finer-grain details like doorknobs and plumbing fixtures, included. Ultimately, the fidelity of the finished model will depend on some balance of the tools and methods of model-building, the availability of time and labor and, most important, the intended use of the model.
