This 3D model was originally designed with Sketchup 8 and later adapted to various other formats. The native format is .skp while the 3dsmax scene utilizes 2016 version of 3ds Max, rendered with Vray 3.00 Kaohsiung Railway Station serves as a significant landmark both geographically and culturally. Notably for Kaohsiung, it carries special meaning in terms of geography and culture. From a geographical perspective, the station divides the city's northern and southern regions. This division conceptually separates northern from southern Kaohsiung. Of course, the North-South division is an electoral reality but also, fundamentally the same. In a few kilometers around the station area, locals typically refer to it as "post-station (after Le Point)." Geographical boundary indeed established by this name usage. Train stations are commonly referred to with Japanese-derived terms in Mandarin while Taiwanese call it "" locomotive; however, these two names serve different purposes. Given the differing words used for "station," the product clearly emerged from Japan's colonial era. Station completion occurred in 1941 and features an imposing structure characterized by a country's "imperial crown architecture" on the roof with prominent colors reflective of Japan's strong military influence during that period. Exterior walls on the second floor feature decorative relief elements drawn from Western-style designs, whereas the roofing tiles and overall aesthetic align with Japanese styles prevalent at that time. This blending is indicative of distinct eras coexisting in a single architectural vocabulary. Notably, adjacent blocks ahead feature specially arranged flooring, where an "eclectic style" label atop it clearly alludes to specific stylistic nuances.
