Romanesque monastery
-
Texturing is now complete. For these renders, I have not yet used bump maps and procedurals.
-
Looking nice so far (oh, no - great)
Bumps and some subtle reflections/shininess here and there will definitely put it onto a next level.
Try to create a bit of environment for it (some terrain, grass, roads/paths, trees) and it will rock!
-
These are really cool models, Aerilius!
About naming strategy - why not organise them into appropriate folder? Like Romanesque > Windows/Doors/Columns etc...(Especially now, with the back button back in the component browser, it's not too much effort to navigate between the folders)
-
I've still been working on it, but I think I can start rendering today (with now bump maps, shininess, layerd materials etc)
By the way, I just found a way to make it look more real, "real 3d"

Anyway, looking forward to seeing it. I had a look at the screenshots in your other topic and they indeed look promising!

Kerkythea is busy. But in the meantime I can post an image from some days ago:
The monastery had a well (quite deep - 84m through the rock). I found a reconstruction drawing from 1852 for the bucket elevator (there are also other proposals like a wooden crane). I used the "aged materials pack" (was very difficult to adjust for the size of this model).
-
I added the surrounding buildings, the cloister, the refectory and the sacristy.
Unfortunately all in gothic architecture and not romanesque, so it took longer than I wanted. For that the effort was worth it, I uploaded some components to 3d-warehouse.I hope they will be useful to someone.
I have already 120 components, already very confusing. I should optimize my naming strategy.
-
Ehm...
Is that first image a reconstruction and render of the well?
-
I've tried some more renders, as spherical panoramas. I think they allow a much more realistic experience to the viewer than an animation (coming soon), because I don't have to care about render time and can use much better settings and light effects.

I posted some final renders in the gallery.
In October, I have also rendered some thousand images, but I'm afraid I will not have enough time to finish the animation in the last days of vacations.
