I balieve that a good aproach would be to also add in some light beacons along the sides, some on the thrusters and a few on the two runways.

I am definately not that good at rendering or getting the textures right, but I gave it a try in kerkythea anyway. I want to try a few different programs that I can get for free or already have so bare with me while I try to get this done in scorching heat.

My computer overheated yesturday so I don't know if it will today, otherwise the first renders would be up already.

Anyway pass on the comments please..

EDIT: These are PhotonMap High + AA 0.3 Renders.

Ok cool..

Should do some more renders, they are fantastic..

I love the modelling and the design, but being able to see the bathroom from the bed seems kind of kinky..

A few AO renders to wet the lips with. On to texturing, and then more renders and more models to make a great scene for this..

What do you think?

The Block detailing is complete, I will try a couple of renders and then go into texturing it..

I have almost finished putting in block details, I wont be putting the corbel arches into this one, but I plan on doing some more and I will put them into those ones..

--UPDATE--

Hmmm that's weird whenever I go to that thread it makes me logged out, but back here it is ok. Bummer I wanted to see some of your renders...

Also don't worry about that, I am not angry. I just don't like people thinking I attribute myself with the epitamy of evil...

Sorry to derail your thread here but I just have to pick up on something

@unknownuser said:

yeah what the Devil said

I am not christian in any way so I don't believe in the devil, I am merely refering to lucifer of roman mythology, the "Morning Star where the name actually means "Shining One"

And also all those out there that realate lucifer to being the devil, it is not mentioned in the new testament at all and only relates to a king of ancient Babylon..(One of the major accepted theories)

Sorry about that I just dislike people who are quick to assume.

Anyway carry on.

I would love to see what you could come up with in Vue for this scene, it would be fantastic.

I will follow this closely just to see how it turns out.

Vue is a landscape modeller mostly and can handle large scenes with many objects and details..
I would suggest getting a demo or the PLE it is well worth trying out.

It is made by e-on software and is available here as well as thier many other exciting products.

I missed that one, thankyou for pointing it out, although it is a little late and would take some effort to actually install some into the model..

EDIT: I just realized that the Mayans designed each pyramid for very specific purposes bot on most you can see a snake formed by the shadows on the vernal equinox with the snakes head being a sculpture...

Just amazing how much goes into the megalithic marvels..

This website seems to be quite informative..

Another Update!

Looking up at the temple from a balcony.

I just tried out the sketchup scenes and god are they awful, if I am trying to traverse through tight little tunnels there is no way to really make sure you dont go through the walls, I think if I do a walkthrough I will make it in something with path editing.. (No offense)

I am a little short on the money part, so I wont be able to on that. I may try to make on in another 3d program...\

Anyway here is an update to hopefully get people interested.

I added a greeble like effect.

I may make one, I haven't done one before.

Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction..

That was just a test of what it would look like, and with all those holes, it made it difficult for me to want that idea. Besides it took ages just to jitter that once, I think about 40 minutes. The main one I am doing is at 34000 polys so far and I have not even gotten half way across it.

I would estimate the Jitter to take approximately 3-4 hours if it doesn't overload sketchup..

Link to the project

Hope you enjoy. Also I have beeen doing more than what is posted..

Mayan Temple Project
By Lucifer1101 - Jason S

The latest project I have been working on was spurred by recent news of the largest pyramid in the world possibly being mayan. This is not a replica of that pyramid just something I wanted to make on my own. The pyramid is for sacrificial and living querters with a network of tunnels and chambers lying in the center of the pyramid.

I finished the main modelling of the pyramid a few days ago, so I will post up those results now.

A birds eye view of the pyramid.

A view looking from one of the stair wells to the temple at the summit.

A stairwell in one of the inner chambers of the pyramid.

A view of the main staircase leading to the temple at the summit

An interior view of the chambers.

A view of one of the two secondary balconies with a scale refence.

A section view showing more of the interior of the chambers.

Please give out some c&c.

I am obviously not the best modeller but I do try my best to work at this, but I don't waste time on failed projects either.

This is also not finished, I plan on adding more detail and maybe a textured version for rendering...

I managed to design my own little 100sf house

NOTE: I am not in any way a proffessional
