Good job Rudolf, as usual i should say

A few new ones. The top of the main dome.

I'd heavily use instances in such a scene, do you?

[Rochr]

No instances yet. I´ll probably use them eventually though.

Rochr, This is just amazing to see your progress, great job... can't wait for more

[Marcello Rupelli]

This is pretty amazing. It'll be cool seeing it come together. How many polygons do you expect it to be?

[Rochr]

Thanks guys.

I´ve tested the machine with a 7 million poly scene, so i´ll try to get around or less than that.
Some of the separate building segments will be placed in symmetry objects, so i can save a lot of polys there.
Basically, i could get away with modeling only one half of the building and mirror it.

Another update.
Two more sets of ornaments in the gaps to finish up the top of the main dome, then i can get started on the body.
Placing these amounts of detail on curved surfaces is a pain in the a**, to put it mildly...

[Bubbaloo]

So cool!!! More, more more!

[Rochr]

Ok, just finished up the main dome. Next i´m going to start working on the body.

Edit: Just noticed that two of the shield-plated rows at the top of the first image needs to be rotated slightly...

Rudolf .... looking amazing.

OT: hey ... what happened with the job ?

[Rochr]

OT: hey ... what happened with the job ?

I politely turned it down. Think i´m more comfortable with freelancing.


Another set of images. It´s the body for the main dome.

[NicoR44]

That is looking more and more impressive

[-Adrian]

All those little cavities and shapes, wonderful.

[Rochr]

Another update.

Windows and some minor detail left on this piece before i can start on the next part.
I used an old Poser model and grabbed the head for some detail. I´ll probably use a few Poser characters for the large statues later on as well.
Me and character modeling...
