Yes, I think the window size is an issue.

A nice view, maybe also the window position rather than size. Some of the
windows appear to be in the middle of the floor they are on, most windows are
slighty higher than the middle.

Yes, but the upper part of the (top) floors also contains the roof 
terrace. So, it is a bit of an optical illusion ;-)

Yes, definitely size then..

LOL. This was a fairly simple matter to do. Your lamp is much more 
complex and demands a much higher degree of render precision.

   Much better, indeed... now they look very realistic.

Ah, this explains a much. Seems you have very detailed plans for your city. And
seems we can admire the or other wonderful detail of Gancaloon in the future.

Best regards,
Michael

To tell the truth, the city grows in an organic way. It complies to the 
outline story about Iskander I have in my mind, and to the fuzzy overall 
city plan I have in my mind too. Following inspiration and/or haphazard 
focussing, new elements are added, at first as placeholders or outlines 
(like the Palace), then into increasing details. Sometimes the story 
follows the city building, sometimes the city adapts itself to the story.

So, yes. Besides already known views that are changed/improved, new 
scenes should see the light too I hope.

It is the way in which I work: I start with crude approximations and 
refine as needed. The danger however is that I forget to refine properly 
enough, and sometimes I am just too lazy ;-)
