2 Roman Basilicas in Kerky

ELYSIUM · 5 Apr 2008, 13:52

Hi all, this has my first post here i've chosen some old models of mine, the Basilica Maxentius and the Basilica Iulia both in Rome. I'm sorry for the poor quality of the renders but i'm still giving my first steps in Kerkythea.
The cross vaults in basilica Maxentius where realy fun to do, i realy like the end result, the walls and floor still need a lot of work.

Great work!
Have fornications textured or geometry?

Wait for updates...

I know your excellent work, Pedro, but these renders are great. Please, use some global illumination in them (or even some pointlights) so that they are not so dark. I'd like to see more of them (i.e. more images as well as more details if they are a bit lighter)

It's Fantastic!

Textures of roman monuments give you headaches... they liked to paint everything.

Based on my last informations, I changed (don't worry yet, just for this photo) the colours of the roman theatre I am doing:

YES, IT SEEMS THAT THIS WAS THE SHAPE OF THE THEATRE(of course, my model still needs a lot more details, but at this moment that's what I have). Golden painting over Carrara Marble (oh my god) and red painting on some parts of the podium.

I think that the painting of the marbles was done after 1 century or so, so I still believe that originally they weren't painted.

Did you model all the sculptures, Elysium? They are very difficult...

and... are you spanish?

Nice Start @Elysium !! Im kind of doing the same thing.So dont get to discuraged, Rome wasnt built in a day.

Sooner or later Elysium will have the problem I am starting to see.... Creating roman sculptures.

I know about the program "Makehuman", but it gives no clothes or hair. Creating them may be very tedious. I am wondering if there are any tricks or resources to help making them.

Thanks, I sent you a Private Message. I didn't want to monopolize this thread and start an offtopic.

Errr... perhaps is my limited english, but I never was angry with you... I really thank your response. I hope that you can help me in a future. I know that the complexity of modelling an ogre is exactly the same of making a model of a sculpture. I saw your work in KT Forums, and is very good

EDIT:

I am sorry because my english is limited and I am spanish, so I can't use coloquial words, and the english vocabulary more familiar to me is the one that uses more words from latin, so I speak "very learned"

If you say me what I told you that originated the misconception (in a PM) you can help me to prevent it to happen again in the future. I am sorry for my english but I like to practice it.

You can see how a serious man I am, look here:

If I can't manage to get some statues I will fill the theatre of chickens There was an inscription of a man called "gallus paetus" in the theatre, Gallus is similar to the spanish word Gallo - sometingh like "Chickenus" in English - . As you see some of the archeologists working in the theatre put a small toy of a chicken over a stone after I put that image on the forums

You can see some nice renders too.
