The Pantheon, Rome (WIP)
-
But all the tourists go to live to the most touristic places, like Granada, and Spain is plenty of unknown beautiful places.
For example, the town where my mother was born, Almagro, in La Mancha, is touristic, but there is not a massification of tourists, like Granada. In fact there is only one japanese painter
Sorry for the offtopic, jopsa, your work is astounding. I have some interesting links about roman archeological excavations in Spain, I can send you by PM.

I agree completely, tourism is huge in spain and in some cities it has blown out of proportion, I was commenting on the city itself, which is amazing. Maybe it's because I'm not particularly fussed about tourists haha
Offtopic is fine, I see it as a nice conversation while we wait for a vray expert that can help me out

at the expense of looking cocky, I'm just too proud not to post
PS. this one took an absurd 4 hours to render, at this quality. still need help with that if anyone has any tips?
-
Excellent work. First rate! by all means . . .post away ! You should feel proud.
Even though the rest of us hate you.
-
Damn good work.

Detail
As always, any comment/critique is welcome!
You want a comment... I'm Italian, I'm up at 8.40, I am still without my glasses, but when I saw this image I was like... "Mamma mia... Mamma mia...." (OMG... OMG...)
This thread should be shown to anyone who asks what you can do with Sketchup.
-
Increible y mas profundo! Sweet.
The beauty is that you can listen to architecture critics and historians talk about the building, but you know it better than they because you have built it with your own hands.
-
mate, realy nice detail!
Good work!
choppir

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
Rogeryou're right, I've learnt so much, not only about the Pantheon, but all about the Corinthian style, etc. (not to mention about Sketchup!)
broomstick, thanks for the comment
it really isn't that crazy, most of the detail are displacement maps (which I made), so not that much geometry really. -
I'm supposed to be studying for an exam, but, y'know, I could let the computer render while I'm reading... and once it's done, I can't not post-process it
I'm getting annoyed, I'm sure it's just a day or two away of being finished, I just don't have the time!
This post brought to you by sheer boredom

is that true that rain comes inside by the occulus can't touch the ground?

In the National Geographic Magazine of History (not the usual one) of this month , appears a drawing of the Pantheon. In that drawing, all the windows have the aspect of the first photo that you have uploaded. Perhaps those two windows are the original roman ones, and the others are recent restorations (I don't know). If you want to see the magazine, don't worry, it's the spanish edition, paisano
(I suposse you are modeling the actual Pantheon, not the original one).

Pilou, it is true. The floor of the Pantheon is in the way.

Thx for the info

haha good answer
yup, it seems like the marble does a good job at stopping the rainhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GCiu_oFRZM&feature=related
but apparently there's a rumour going around that if enough people were inside, the heat they would generate would create an upwards draft that would deflect the rain... not true obviously, that would be one windy building!

hi pichuneke! yes, I read about this on Wikipedia (so you know it's true
), the Pantheon has undergone lots of restorations in it's time, to the point that everything under the dome is different. Apparently those two windows were an 18th century attempt to make it look like it did originally. -
Awesome work...looking forward to the finished model.
Best,

Real! Only i dont like the lack of detail out the door... Too glowww -
Astounding
Please... can you model the Pantheon of the second century?
(Yes, I ask you too much, it's one of the more incredible models I have ever seen). -
Superb modelling - very well done
