Einhards Basilica
-
The Einhards Basilica near of Michelstadt (Germany), is a church building from the ninth-century.
It is therefore one of the oldest European basilicas north of the Alps and very well preserved for this age as well. Einhard himself was a consultant and master builder of Emperor Charles the Great.
Because I grew up nearby, this was a great and kind of creepy place (after all, in the Middle Ages they also treated people suffering from plague there
!!!) to play in my childhood - when you still were and still are allowed to play there 
The modelling itself was a pretty simple thing here. Essentially I have created a very rough model using SU´s Match Photo tool. Here and there I added a few crude "pseudo-" details to give the model and the following rendering a slightly more authentic look. Match Photo also delivered most of the required textures out of the for this purpose used photo itself - SU´s "Make Unique Texture"-tool did a good and helpful job here! Only a few textures had to be replaced by new ones, for example the roof tiles...
(used tools: Sketchup with Skatter, Shaderlight, PhotoShop)

Nice result. Some more love into the textures would push it over the edge.

thanks people for your comments and also for the suggestion to improve the texturing which exactly isn´t a strength of mine -
good work!!

One other thing I did not mention up above was I thought it could use a little vertical adjust. The building felt like it was falling away from the viewer.
What do you think? is this an improvement?

Thanks Paul - yes, your suggestion and adjustments bring a much better result! 
Did you do that manually with PS?
