[WIP] Monumental Heart of Rome
-
Amazing and inspiring work. Like others, I'm wondering how your computer is performing with such a large model. Also, in the first image, I noticed your roof tile texture is running in the wrong direction on a few of the buildings in the foreground.

I'm blown away by this one.
I can't imagine the time that you've invested in this so far.You know it's a great model when even the moire has a certain beauty to it.

How long did that take you?

I too am amazed by the detail, fantastic job.
-
That is a killer model. The Colosseum especially, I mean look at all those round stairs. Must have taken ages!

Thks Huggkruka,
actually its really fast to make in sketchup, i waste more time making the plans and sections in CAD, so that everything fits in right, if you have good and detailed plans later in sketchup its all done in a heartbeat, plus you learn a great deal about how the buildings were designed.
In this case its just a well done section and the follow me tool, the hardest part was making the outer perimeter of the Colosseum with a line that had the same number of segments as arches so that each arch sits on a planar face and not in a curve, also each line segment had to be the exact same size so that every arch could be done of a single component, so that later in detailing i wouldn't have to make 88 arches, but just edit one of them. oh and also its important to say i just made 1/4 of the Colosseum, then mirrored it 4 times to get the full building. -
Colossal!

Give that Man a cigar!
ELYSIUM, if I ever manage to get the Mediterranean SketchUcruise going to various Historic Sites and while visiting actually making models of the structures YOU will be on the boat at any cost.Mike

Having previously made a rather pathetic attempt at making a Colosseum, I can fully appreciate the work that has gone into you model. Awesome work!
-
wow,,great stuff,, very nice modeling...

What a piece of art ! More interesting is the fact, that this model is aimed for historical interaction.
