Mate what did you render the spins with? They look awesome mate!
That was Max but it wasn't me who rendered it.
I wish I could do that so well (and also keep that part of the money

this model is really fantastic, particularly the surroundings are looking realistic. How did you create these surroundings. With the rendering techniques I am not so much experienced yet.
Well, everything is modelled. Even from inside. The last video is the same church as the exterior in the first one - and so on, with 6 churches/monasteries/cathedral, dummy houses, town wal... everything (and now tell me about poly count
)You can actually see the edge of the terrain around the town; only good thing is that it's not very distracting.

That plugin is indeed great. I also found it not too long ago.
I see you have a Roman fort, too. I have a friend who's modelled one with awesome details (all interiors, vaulting, even furniture, shields, arms everything).

This Roman fort is an reconstructed existing one close to Frankfurt I'm shure as an archelogist you have heard the name "Saalburg"
Is there a possibility to see this Model from your friend? This is also my dream to make such a detailed Model

I can ask him to post a couple of shots. He's also a member here but has only posted (very few posts) in the Hungarian forum so far (he speaks German though and also finishes archaeology soon).

Gai and Charly,
Please keep inspiring us with your works!!! Truly beautiful!!!
I'm a new member. What a treat to look at and read about your creations -
hello
sorry, but i don't speak english, here is a picture of my roman fort
-
This is fascinating! this is an insight into Roman urbanism I've not seen. Where were the forts generally located relative to Roman cities?

Well, mostly along the frontiers (at least these "late Roman" forts).
Karlheinz (the original poster of this topic) is from Germany - say the ancient "Germania (or neighbouring) Province" and myself from "Pannonia Province" - both highly militarised frontier zones of the Roman Empire.

Hi Gabor,
nice model, continue with your work.

Thanks Gábor for (finally) sharing these here, in the gallery, too.
For others' information, this is an extremely detailed model - there are even furniture and weaponry "ready to use" inside the barracks. Gábor is mainly developing it for educational purposes as in July we are going to a "Roman re-enactment camp" (to an ancient site of a Roman fort actually) for kids where they are going to be able to walk about in the model "real time" like in a FPS game and different "tasks" will be hidden inside.

Wow! How does that work when the kids can walk around in the model? Is there a website you can point me to that explains?
-
There are a couple of programs you can turn your SU model into something like that. Walkabout 3D or Simmetry 3D for instance but there are even ones that will make a flash website if you wish.

Hi Gabor,
how many time did you spent on this model?. Which documents were at your disposal (Plans, Drawings, Images)?

ca. 30 hours, maybe. i found some pictures on the net (principia, praetorium, house of tribunes), the others i made myself.

Good model kephalos!
