Hi Martin,
Thanks for sharing this mammoth project and congrats on the superb outcome. This is incredible
Would love to see this given the Vue treatment with lots of vegatation, but as is it's still inspiring
-
Wow.
This is superb!

Well, it took over a year and I don't even want to think about the number of hours I spent on it...
Why not? It seems to have been well worth every moment of modelling!

True - that's probably all it needs at this stage. Although with iRender, you can get all those fractal plants, too, can't you?
-
I did these renders in the trial version of iRender, which runs out in 6 days, so I'm now considering buying it. It does have good RPC plant options that I'd love to experiment with!
...and with regard to all those hours, you are right, I enjoyed most of them hugely!
-
Incredible modeling! Would love to see some closeups of some of the detailed areas.

Amazing project! Did you model the statues as well or are they textures/components?
-
Hi MartinPh,
It looks fantastic and certainly needed a lot of detail work. I like this historic projects very much. Historic buildings are my favorites too but most of the time the problem is to find good plans or drawings.
-
Mama mia !!!
-
Great job!
-
amazing work!! congratulations!
-
Remus, the statues are 3d, but I must adnmit I didn't model them myself. I found them on the internet and only simplified them a bit for use in this model. The bas reliefs on the facade are textures.
Yeah, Charly, I prefer historical buildings too for modeling. But it is indeed rare to find such good reference material as in Vitruvius Brittanicus. It was the Dover reissue of that book which got me going on this project. Actually, VB will allow you to model almost any 18th century English country house; but I think I'll lay off for a while and do something completely different...
-
Oh, and did I say thank you yet to Fredo for his brilliant plugins, without which this would have taken another year at least?
-
Size does matter after all...Congratulations!
-
That is F@!/*#- awsome!
-
I ever envy those guys that make so great effort to make so beautiful buildings!
-
That's some model!
-
...good work))) thanks!

wow, your the second person I gave this too! -
very very impressive!! what a huge project to undertake, but definitely worth it! I would definitely recommend texturing it, would turn it into a killer project!
Can i ask about the stats? hoy many edges etc, did Sketchup handle it ok?
PS. nice touch with the sketchup fog
