Do you know this another big cathedral?

Chris,

That second image is brilliant. Nice envelope pushing! Be careful or you'll spend the rest of your life designing 21st century cathedrals. Just curious, have you given any thought to the exterior form of these spaces?

No not really, I was more curious about the spatial implications than the exterior.
From the outside, it momentarily looks like a sponge

biebel,

too bad you were just a kid when the star wars series was started: you could have become famous as their set designer.

my respect and admiration to you.

kwistenbiebel

Thanks guys...and Edson, I am 34, shouldn't I have seen those series?
I did see the old BattleStar Galactica one (love those cylons), Blake7 (which was great),Buck Rogers (still have the hots for Wilma) and the best of all: The Tripods, scary as hell.

The Brittish Sci-Fi series rocked

Damn, that's wicked

Thank you very much, Twharvey, for the model of the Stonehenge site you uploaded on 3D Warehouse.
It served really well as background for this scene.

I think I accidentally solved the mystery of Stonehenge :

my memory is beginning to fail... what i intended to refer to was STAR TREK not Star Wars! hope captain kirk can forgive me for that.

I changed some things (textures, F-stop value, etc...) in the stonehenge model.
The bump on the stone came out a bit harsh.

haha..very clever

i think i prefer the first stone texture though.. both look like elephant skin though

kwistenbiebel

You're right about the stone texture.
I'll re-render with a better one when I find the time.
Thanks for your remark.

I think it looks fantastic, I love the SSS on the insect.

How about a Dung beetle with a poop ball next?
