The model is about 50-60mb at the moment, it was smaller but I went through it recently and 'upped' the detail on some of the parts that were bugging me, the round tops to the column bases, the roses at the end of the beading around the arches etc.
I've probably overdone the textures on the new floors as they make the altar walls look a bit blurry in comparison. I'm tempted to remake the textures as higher res but that's just the sadomasochist in me talking

My God,
I feel so inadequate now. This is beautiful. How long did it take you to model this? What settings did you use in TW and how long did it take this thing to render?Looking at the sanctuary, this place looks like it would be dark at night. Is there any thought to update the lighting?
I would say that you have mastered this software. Amazing and inspiring. Thank you Mr. Russam!

I did another Twilight Render last night.
SU Scene:
After 14h25m at 1200x850:
After a bit of Post Processing:
And for reference, a photo of the real thing:
Here's a link to the Picasa album with the full size images:

The only difference I see is that the real photo has a lot more light coming in from the windows.
Perhaps rising "Sky Brightness" and "Maximum Sun Intensity" values from the Sun/Sky tab in Twilight's Light Editor might help get a bit closer to the real thing. Especially "Sky Brightness". But this is just nitpicking; you've done an amazing modeling job, Paul. You are really pushing SketchUp's limits.

A couple of Twilight updates:
After 2h22m
After 3h
Managed to get a subtle bump on the tiles
This one is cooking overnight, but this is what I got after 50m
As usual the full res ones are on my Picasa album:http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Paul.Russam/IOTD20090930?feat=directlink

OK then, after 14h05m here's what we got:
Gamma 1.0 Exposure 0.7
Gamma 1.0 Exposure 0.6
Gamma 1.0 Exposure 0.5
Gamma 1.0 Exposure 0.4
The last one is by far the best settings.
Well done to all involved with Twilight, and of course Sketchup, For this to render without crashing is a true achievement.As usual Full res images in Picasa Album:http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Paul.Russam/IOTD20091001?feat=directlink

I can only repeat myself...
This is absolutely STUNNING work...!!
-
Ditto that....Thanks for posting these, Paul!
-
incredible. stunning. wowoww...

Thanks all for the fantastic comments, they mean a lot.
After having worked on this damn project for so long I can't see it as anything else other than a collection of minor annoyances that need fixing, making better etc. So its always nice when fresh sets of eyes see it and write such nice comments.
The phrase 'Familiarity Breeds Contempt' rings a bell
Just so you know I do work on other projects, lots of them in fact, but non really worth posting here.

Hi Paul,
Your work is indeed very impressive. I am fairly new to 3d modeling with SketchUp and am amazed what people like yourself can do with it. I have a friend from NI and was wondering what City or Town this church is in.Keep up the great work.

Wow......your renders look incredibly similar to the photos. textures are bang on mate, well done. I bet your model is very very heavy!! I need to read up this thread to see how you lit the scene so naturally. Beauties!! And the tiles......these little details just keep popping up!!
Fantastic work. Do you prefer the simple tone mapping? Seem to get richer colours IMO...I love tweaking the image....one of the best features of twilight. -
Did a quick anim last night using Smustard's flightpath plugin. Youtube seems to have over compressed the video resulting in the textures looking poor.

Very nice, Paul...
I can imagine that although this is straight SU output, the animation took a loooong time to finish...
You should be happy that you didn't need to turn on shadows and run the animation again...
