Good model kephalos!

More stuff:

The first photo has a wrong reconstruction of the... well, I don't know the english word. Let's say the "roof". Too big.

I am doing only two buildings in my free time. Because I like to investigate lost pdfs with archeological information, or examining old photos of destroyed munuments.

You can see one of them in this forum. I have to upload new renders, but I am not working in it now.

I have seen your web, one day I will have to start one with my own "projects"

It's absurd to write in english when we write a much better spanish, but let's Gaieus and company read us

Great link, Thanks!

If you have cojones, do one of that buildings.

Si tienes cojones, haz uno de esos edificios (No te preocupes por lo de "cojones", parece que es la palabra de moda en idioma inglés y la usan sin saber lo que realmente significa )

Regarding my english I know that is limited, but I can be understood. I just started to write in english... and you see Anyway I use sometimes wordreference http://www.wordreference.com/es/ to look for english expressions. I am learning, while I am writting.

There are other very beautiful places. Toledo or Cordoba are very touristic ones. Salamanca too.

But you have a lot of very hidden treasures, medieval towns without tourists, even Caceres has a medieval city and is not a very touristic one. In the province of Jaen, Ubeda and Baeza (I prefer Baeza).

The Royal Palaces of Spain in Madrid and Segovia have the original furniture of XVIII - XIX century.

Regarding my english, I know that is limited but I don't use Google translator to be sure that I have written everything right. Anyway feel free to correct my english if you see something wrong

If you want a lot of projects of never made royal palaces, projects of buildings of the XIX and XX century and built ones, you can find a lot of documentation here:

HI ALL!!
These videos about Sagrada Familia are simply awesome.
Where did you get them from?
Can you tell me how to find a similiar one for Notre Dame - Paris?

Thanks.

Youtube and Flickr search.

If I have authorization of the owner I will upload new videos and images soon of the Sagrada Familia.

I can't download the ruby script. I have deactivated Noscript for filefront, but it still doesn't work. The link takes me to the home page, http://www.filefront.com/

Working on the spanish translation (very busy these days...)

I have found a very good exporter to .lwo:

http://www.flay.com/GetDetail.cfm?ID=2362

In fact, I have finally exported to Blender my more complex model.

Of course, no textures, it's a work you must do manually later. But it's the best free solution I have ever seen

I am also interested in free exporters (I do it for free, I am not a professional). But I see that there are not any free active projects lately. You must pay 195$ or something like that. A good .obj exporter without errors would be fantastic.

I use Kerkythea but I am waiting for a Luxrenderer plugin. I prefer to use opensource tools. If I can't, I use free alternatives. And I believe that there are at this momment a lot of renderers, so I can choose.

(Anyway I use the free version of sketchup and I am trying to export the .skp to blender. It's complex and it's being under discussion in another thread. My models are very heavy).

¿2030 is ok for you?

I was at the roof in 2001. As you can imagine is a place that tourist doesn't visit. With the hard hat on my head... when I was studying.

In one year or two it will be completely under a roof (forgive my limited english). That's because the towers are independent, built over the church, you can see it in this photo:

You can see it bigger here:

Thanks Tig, and Thank Remus, for fixing it.

If you are interested I visit spanish forums where people upload photos with the progress of the construction. I can inform you here. Well, most of them are photos from flickr, where you can find the progress day by day.

Well, let's start:

One week ago (source: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=184088&page=42)

There are a lot of things to say about this building, as you can imagine.

I have edited. I have to leave now. If I can I will fix it later, in some hours. If a moderator can do that for me, meanwhile, I thank him it a lot.

See you later!

I have posted it in another spanish forum, and people liked them, so why not to put them here?

The videos were made by Toni Meca. He wanted to make a film set in the future about a finished Sagrada Familia. So he ask to their constructors for information, to make a 3D model for the film. He never did it. Instead, he made a CD-Rom with the 3D model and sold it in 2002. Constructors of Sagrada Familia complained, and won at the court. So all the copies were retired from market. The videos are very rare, but someone has uploaded some of them to youtube. The 3D model has some mistakes, the renders are quite old, but you must see it.

I recommend to see them in youtube, as you can see it in HD and Full Screen.

I hope you like them.

(I did my best putting the videos here to see them, I don't manage with the command flash, is new for me).

Does someone can make a sketchup model of the Sagrada Familia in two days?

Edit: I have to leave now, If you can't see the video can a moderator fix it? It's the first time I use the [flash... command to put videos here.

I have started the translation to spanish. Don't worry Fredo6

I have downloaded the plugins. I will try to look at the translation files tomorrow.

Translated. I don't know if it is a good work. Probably not, as I haven't used your plugin yet. Anyway I will send you a PM with the translation. Hope it helps.

It works, now.

I am trying to translate to spanish, but I have some problems with my limited english, like "grip". Because I suposse it is not translated yet, right?
