      eeva, solo, thanks...

      As I said above (http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=554#p554) the render is not mine. The SU model (that I made) was "dressed up" with materials/entourage in 3DS Max so the transition is due to that program, not to SU (and my special skills).
      I only originally textured the model to give the guy a clue how I imagine it. It's a kind of co-operation (though I'm beginning to be a newbie in 3DS Max already πŸ˜„)

      But could you believe that the SU model (which also included trees and bushes - and the buildings are also modelled from inside) is no bigger than 7 megs?
      I couldn't have handled it otherwise - on my current, slow machine...

      Solo, what procedural plans do you mean?

      Gai...

        I was refering to your ground textures, they look like the new 'Crysis' direct x 10 engine style. Age of Empires 4 (if it ever gets made)

          As I said, a "colleague" of mine is doing the rendering stuff. I can't really follow what he's doing - I was the modeller he is the renderer.

            For good rendering you need good modeling so dont be shy πŸ˜‰
            Excellent work Gai πŸ‘

              Thanks Ivica, in fact, true, I am more interested in the modelling part (also by "profession") so I'm not "shy" πŸ˜„

              I also "play around" with rendering a bit, try out this and that but I will never become a 3D artist in this field (especially having seen some of you guys' renders here).

              Enough for me is that when we work together, I can criticize (well, "comment" and "suggest") things and tell ways what should be done to change the model/render and that I know (more or less) whether it can be done or not. That's already a big help to the guy I'm working with for dealing with a total amateaur can really be a problem sometimes (I guess a lot of you know that feeling).

                    Just a little bit "improved" animation test - still with no textures...

                        Gai, these are looking fantastic.

                        The first thing I noticed however
                        was the blue glass. This looks
                        somewhat un-natural.

                        The second thing I noticed was
                        that there are no ridge caps on
                        the roof texture.

                        Just observations. πŸ˜„

                          Points taken, Eric - you are right in both things.
                          That's why I posted them; I've been looking / checking them for too long and my eyes just skip a lot of details for they're "used to them".

                          Thanks for the suggestions (though this weekend a lot of the movies will be rendered - at least for a "first shot").

                          Here's just a short "example" ( just a "cut-out" or "part" of a whole movie):

                            I would like to see that movie when finished, it seems very smooth and it is certainly an interesting building to view!

                              Sure, Dylan - I will post all of them here (I just need to compress them a little bit and convert to flash - so they may lose some quality).

                                Just another movie.
                                This is the Dominican monastery at the excavation fo which I already worked as a freshly graduated archaeologist in 1991.
                                Of course we did not find everything like this then... πŸ˜„
                                (The file is a bit big - sorry for that -so it needs some download time. There is a better resolution wmv file here)

                                Again, I need to express that the 3D Max rendering was done by a colleague, not me. I just made the model in SU.

                                    Unfortunately it has also lost a lot of its quality during compression and export to swf. 😐

                                      Im jealous, the USA sucks for these sorts of things as the oldest thing we got that is man made isnt more than a couple hundred years old. Good looking model.

                                        Well, to tell the truth, when the Turks invaded my city in 1543, within a few decades they pulled down most of these churches and monasteries to replace them with mosques (but at least we have the northmost - and still working! - mosques from the Ottoman Empire now πŸ˜„)

                                        Well, here is the cathedral (some pics of which I have already posted):

                                        [flash=480,384:2bdapbnf]http://www.gaieus.hu/su/videos/Cathedral.swf[/flash:2bdapbnf]

                                        It is more or less intact though have been rebuilt twice since the Turkish rule ended at the end of the 17th century.
                                        There is a better resolution wmv file here.

                                            Since it is a female order, they got some blossoming trees here (say almond or peach maybe πŸ˜„)
