I have the weird feeling that these words should be in dativus instead of ablativus but I know those Hispanic were weirdos those days as well!

Anyway, I like the bronze railing of the window. It could be wood or iron as well but definitely not marble IMO (just because it would be harder to make).

I would, however make some structure (maybe a segment arch) above the window to support the wall above it.

My latin was always limited (one year when I was 16) and is a bit... rusty . Rosa rosae. Ave Caesar morituri te salutant = Las Aves del Cesar mueren por falta de salud (The birds of Cesar are dying because of a lack of health)

Respect the arch... I had the same idea, that is exactly one of the things I have to do in a future with that window. But it depends of the future ornaments around the window. I don't think that the original theatre was like that. There were marbles and that stuff... you know.

A new Render:

The bronze texture is not definitive, I don't like it, there is a pattern. In fact I must ask you about the window. I knew I wanted to do that window, but... Which material? Bronze? Wood? Marble? Iron?

I don't know... Your help or your opinion about roman windows will be very appreciated

Don't worry, the photos I have are not the best (and they are not mine ), but I have the text

Both altars.

His brother:

And in this spanish forum, you can find a lot of photos of the recently opened museum (including the source of theo ones I have linked here)

Dedicated to the children of Agrippa and Julia, the "young princes", to which the theatre was dedicated.

I think that another altar with the name of his brother is lost. Something like "L Caesaris. Avgvsti...".

In fact, the Frons pulpiti is resolved with the 3 known altars to Jupiter and... I don't remember (Minerva?). The 3 principal gods, in spanish "triada capitolina", the 2 altars you have seen now, and another 2 similar altars. I haven't linked photos to the 3 altars to Jupiter and company.

The other altar:

L(ucius) IUNIUS L(ucii) F(ilius) T(iti) N(epos)
PAETUS
FORTUNAE SAC(rum) D(onum) D(edit)

Small update:

The spanish (I believe latin) name is "Ara". It was found in the excavations.

You have a render here (the letters are too bright, sorry):

And you can rotate the model here:

Aaahhh... Bugger... Sorry about that...
I have Acrobat Pro and have thereby no problem converting to 3D PDF documents...

Unfortunately I can't check it today, but I'm sure that there's another free pdf-converter with 3D support that can do the job... Let me check a few things...

In the meantime, you can use Deep Publisher to include 3D models in your PP presentations, which is also a very handy feature...

I am a free - poor man

As I don't use sketchup for work, I don't earn money and... you know.

My first approach to 3D was Terragen 1.0.

(www.planetside.co.uk)

I enjoyed a lot that software. Personally I think that even the new version is a bit old today. It's a terrain editor with raytracing. But I learned some interesting things.

mirjman, you saved my life today

Just a size limit of 500 points in:

Does someone have a quick way to convert the generated list of coordinates in the page:

http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/terrain.html

to UTM?

It is not related to sketchup, I need it for my work. (I have the tools to convert it, but just one point at time).

It would be interesting to see the plugin in action in my models of roman theatres. If someone does it one day, of course.

(Me not, I have learned Vitrubio, don't expect I can learn ruby o what else... )

Gaieus, I was looking in Google about your presentation of Archeology in 3D Basecamp... and I suddenly discovered this:

http://www.pecsiujsag.hu/index.php?p=article&aid=7217

(I am always ashamed when my name appears in a newspaper, usually it happens when I win a prize of something ).

I hope you don't mind for putting the link here

What does it says...?

I speak a bit english. So I can let you know my opinion about how difficult is.

I don't know what a eggplant is. Probably if you plant an egg, it gives you chickens

You write Shakespeare, but a spanish pronounces it "sekspir" (¿¿¿???)

If someone suddenly begins to speak to you something like "marrugeision jolliguan weingüidins ojara disbroken maraguichis okei", you have two possibilities:

• He is speaking in english.

• He is drunk.

• Both previous at the same time.

I have discovered that my english pronunciation is much better when I put inside my mouth one or two stones

I hope it helps to find a better way to teach english.

The explanation is in this video. But unfortunately is in spanish

Well, it's fun, but you are not going to understand a word. In fact "El Gran Wyoming", a spanish comedy tv presenter, is laughing at Iker Jimenez (another television presenter of occultist themes) , when he told the same dates that you have said. In fact EGW has a lot of coincidences of the spanish presidents of that kind too... and you began to laugh

OSAMA = OS AMA = HE LOVES YOU (In spanish)

I don't like the church. It's ugly.

Well, I mean, your model is well done, but I don't like the building at all.

THANKS!

I am going to save this page, to do it in the future.
