EIFFEL TOWER

EIFFEL TOWER

Hey guys!

On Armistice Day I’d like to present to you the incredible EIFFEL TOWER asset for your TF2 world.

Probably the most famous landmark in the world – “La dame de fer” (“Iron Lady”), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 Paris World’s Fair. Tour Eiffel was designed by Stephen Sauvestre and built by Gustav Eiffel.

The tower is 324 meters (1,063 ft) tall and is the tallest structure in Paris. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. It was the first structure in the world to surpass both the 200-metre and 300-metre mark in height.

In-game you can find it in Art Deco category in the asset menu (colorful icon) with the following stats:

– Eiffel Tower, Paris, France, available in 1889.

I took great liberty in texturing – some struts and beams are bare metal, but I think it gives the tower a beautiful shimmer and awesome lightness. There is an observation deck at the top, so I recommend visiting it with first-person camera.

This LANDMARK can be scaled from -30% to +30% and is beautifully detailed (see enlarged pictures) For best results level the terrain underneath and since it has no collision I advise you to use a fence mod to prevent AI from building over/under it. 4 LODs that guarantee friendly frame rates are included.
