        [attachment=0:30hi91lw]<!-- ia0 -->29.2 first kings mlt.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:30hi91lw]I spent my layoff time designing a Gothic cathedral because I read Ken Follet's "Pillars of the Earth". So here is a preview and the other 80+ renderings are at the picasa site:https://picasaweb.google.com/103014864480561473398 and the model (70MB) is available for download from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40864073/8%20Gothic%20Cathedral%20clean.skpand anyone is welcome to "remodel" it to their heart's content and improve on it; just keep me in the loop for fun. I want to see what others will do with it.
        The model is loosely based on the Chartres cathedral with elements taken from many other 11-12 & 1300's cathedrals. Rendering done with Kerkythea and a lot of patience. I had to gut the interior just to render the exterior and vice-versa.
        Using a Precision 4500 4GB ram 2.93 gig processor and quadro (xx) graphics card.
        Comments welcome

          However..,. If you remember the end, they designed a flat (i.e. not octagonal) closing of the sanctuary so that there could be stained glass windows installed there (and this could be an "explanation" for that special, English Gothic sanctuary type).

          Chartres is very French. Ken Follet's cathedral would be particularly English.

          Probably my favourite ever book! Love it. Did you catch the TV series?

          Lee, I am disappointed. While the book may be an interesting and easy read (in the mornings sitting on the loo), it is rather a big garbage. Come on, English people eating turkeyat Christmas? Who the hell is this writer? (The TV series are just on here - well, should I comment?)

          @klog: the model/render and all the elaborate things are truly amazing so please, forgive my rants above...

                  For everyone:
                  Here are two more Drop Box links for interior only
                  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40864073/small8%20Gothic%20nave%20and%20choir.skp
                  and the whole cathedral without materials (about 5.5MB)
                  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40864073/8%20Gothic%20Cathedral.skp
                  Maybe this will make it more available to all and get more great renderings and ideas going.

                                        Klog, a great thanks for sharing this amazing model... it really deserved to go in the "most impressive sketchup model" topic !

                                        Facing such an interesting space I couldn't resist doing a test render :

                                        CATHEDRALE.jpg
                                        It was done in Thea, with a really short setting time (only adjustment for the stained glass windows and the metal fence), render (3000 pix high) for about 20hours (I actually forgot to stop it during the night, so it should have been good enough after a few hours only...). Really small post pro in PS (mainly some color corrections). Reduce for posting.

                                        Some details out of the big image :
                                        CATHEDRALE detail 1.jpg
                                        CATHEDRALE detail 2.jpg

                                        ... I'll try to find time to make more images, this model is really inspiring..

                                        By the way, some remarks: the covering of the pillars looks a big large to me, and not so realistic in term of proportions, and their texture is lacking of precision... but this are small problems regarding to the amount of work you put in this cathedral !

                                        Keep up the good work !

                                            First, these are great "prelimenary" renders. Can't wait to see the results of your tweaking/changing the shaders in the future. Show me your stuff! Yes I too thought the pillars were too large and so they are now 75% of the original and could be smaller yet. And I ran up against the limits of 2GB pagefile for Kerkythea, even with some of the tricks I learned; so I reduced the resolution of all the shaders and chopped avout 15MB out of the source file. Even then I could only render the inside by stripping off the north and south porches, gutting the Royal entry towers, and stripping nearly all the flying buttresses as well as the terraine and exterior shaders. That got it to ~50MB and then Kerkythea could handle the interior with my machine. So I think higher resolution is for someone else to do for this project. Have at it. Thanks for your excitement about this.

                                            @Artysmedia -- Thanks for your enthusiasm on this too; show us some re-renders from you, too.
