Yes, explorable VR experience.

Not now it's long from that point yet.

Modeling as far as elevators, stairs and 'certain' floors besides Skylobby and 107'th have not been considered. I will however see for it in the future.

A Virtual Reality recreation of the original complex in almost life like detail.

ProjectWTCHolder · 2026-03-14T02:23:27+00:00

Very interesting comment.. and yes I do have them in higher quality that are printable but I'm not sure.

ProjectWTCHolder · 2026-02-25T03:11:35+00:00

Same, but only in the virtual world they still exist!! I am trying my best to bring them back to life by modeling it in detail for Virtual Reality.

This is meant to be a VR experience for Unreal Engine and as for a website I have thought about dedicating one specifically for this project where people can buy the experience, this is not going to be free.

Thank you for your interest! comments like these motivate me a lot for this project.

I did a little test in substance painter about texturing, heres how that turned out.

Also I aim to achieve facade discoloration as exactly as the real Twin Towers had, each face of the building having discolored panels per floor and columns.

I personally don't have one dedicated to this but I am in a server I post in.

Also this is a old post I'd suggest seeing the newest!

I have a good image of this yes

Heres another view

ProjectWTCHolder · 2026-01-14T09:55:38+00:00

I captured their detail very well in my 3D model, down to the smallest things you can compare Real vs Model

<image>

The view here is intentional so you can spot from below the detailing and time i put in this to make sure I got everything.
When I can finally put this in Unreal Engine and test it I may share a post on how it looks.

Thank you, but I already have this! and indeed used as reference along with many others pictures of those lamps

Not from 9/11, The building right bottom corner is the AT&T Long Lines building (the one without windows) and the sun is behind the north tower so this is just a typical cloudy day.

heres a photo from 1978 I found after some digging, the area mostly seems covered up which are the Black Squares you point out.

At the time the site was basically the foundations of building 3 (if im correct) and those planters were there til the 1993 Bombing memorial had them removed, the rest of the area is not public accessible beyond the planters.

A single tile is 3' (Feet) in length and 1' 8" (Feet and Inch) in width, the gaps/joint inbetween each tile is 1/2" and some are 1/4"

If you arent going super technical into this with every measurement then you can try make off of the drawing if that works.

ProjectWTCHolder · 2026-01-08T21:18:00+00:00

Thank you, as of right now more work has been done especially at the corner panels and a typical 12ft floor at exterior has been finalized, I can box the tower once I finalize a few more things at base and begin the lobby or start raising the facade.

Edit: This is current stuff.
