This model, born from the imagination of visionary architects, began its life as a sketch in Sketchup 6, where it evolved into a three-dimensional entity before being converted to various formats. Its native home is within the .skp format, but it can also be found living comfortably in other popular formats. Its counterpart, the 3ds Max scene, proudly displays its age as a version of 2016, while the rendering capabilities of Vray 3.00 bring depth and richness to this magnificent structure. Perched majestically over the Thames River, Tower Bridge stands tall at an impressive 65m above its platforms, proclaiming itself the tallest bridge in all the land. This remarkable feat is all the more astonishing when one considers that its humble beginnings date back to the year 1894. Originally powered by mighty steam engines, which could raise the massive 1000 ton bascules to full height in under a minute, Tower Bridge has undergone significant transformations over the years. Today, electric power has taken over, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. But, despite its age, Tower Bridge still holds many secrets. In 1952, a bold red London bus took to the skies, attempting to defy gravity by clearing a hair-raising gap of three feet between the bascules after a mischievous traffic light stubbornly remained stuck on 'go'. Meanwhile, daring pilots have attempted to fly their aircraft under Tower Bridge, but unfortunately, at least one of them met an untimely end as a result of underestimating the challenging width of 65m x 30m that separates the bridge's supports.
