Dwip Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I should like the coffer version quite a bit if it had more vertical spacing between the tiles.Well, I like it quite a bit now, but you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hana Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 You know, as an afterthought I wondered to myself why I didn't add more vertical spacing there. But I wasn't going to point it out. Figures you'd call me on it. :PWill rework it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I agree that the coffer version looks cooler while the red diamonds look more complete.. if that's the right term. On the other hand, honestly, the red diamond version looks more like linoleum or wallpaper than marble inlay to me, but we all know I have no real art appreciation anyway.

Hana Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Revised coffer version, in-game shot.Yeah, the Leyawiin FG isn't quite the same scale as your mausoleum ceiling will be, but gives you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 That does appear to work more betterer, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh, I like that rendition, Hana. It's got a sort of recessed feel to it too..Btw, gratz on your 500th post, Dwip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conner Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Huh' date=' so it is. Neat.[/quote']Your 500th post? Well, it was.. ;)A recessed feel? I thought so, and I think it's kind of neat looking that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallen68 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yea, that is nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 For everyone's entertainment, here's the WIP shot for the past couple of days.That's the topmost chamber, showing the lower ceiling. The empty area at top will one day house Hanaisse's recessed tiles. I'm also starting to block out stuff for the lower chambers. May try my hand at doing a bunch of barrel vaults, but we'll see. It's also a lot harder to get stuff done with a broken toe than you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallen68 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Looks like it's coming along quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Agreed, it does look like it's coming along nicely, though that particular picture looks really odd, but then I'm very not used to seeing 3-d images in Blender I guess.Yeah, it's amazing what a little toe can impact, isn't it?

Hana Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Dwip, you should not kick things when you rage over Blender. Bad things happen.Ok, I'll ask for real, how did you break your toe?That is looking very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 The exciting story.Also, remember, kids, when measuring angles, to measure from the correct points, or else you will be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 @Hana: In summary, he kicked a chair while walking down the hall and not paying attention, but the link he provided is much more fun to read. @Dwip: I suppose how sad you'll be will depend on why you were measuring the angles to begin with, but...

Tommy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 ...Also' date=' should you ever find yourself in Ravenna, Sant'Apollonare Nuovo is a recommended destination.[/quote']Yes, indeed I was there, albeit some 15 years ago. The whole town of Ravenna is lovely to visit and most interesting for the cultural history inclined. Obvioulsy lots of Romanic buildings, sites, artefacts to see there.

Dwip Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 @Tommy - Yeah, I was there in 2004 for a couple days. Ravenna's an amazing place period, but I was a history major in college who spent a lot of time on Roman/Byzantine history, and I love mosaic as an art form, so you can imagine just how much fun I had there. @All - More WIP shots for the past couple days. I'm now done with the intermediate floors, stairs, etc. All that's left now is the basement and various interior decorations. And the floors/ceilings, of course, once I get the proper textures for them.Side view:Front view:Everything at an angle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hana Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wow, wow, wow. :stare:You could have an entire city population live in there.Textures coming up! Watch your email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Awesome stuff Dwip. Would it be a silly question to ask if the interior mesh is going to be all one piece? Cause if so you're making an epic sized model that rivals stuff I've only seen from Mr. Siika so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 @Hanaisse - Got 'em, thanks.@Samson - It's being constructed as one piece, insofar as you can say that given how Blender operates. I'll probably split it into a few different pieces when I go to export, as I seem to recall that there are certain effeciencies to doing things that way. How precisely I'm going to do that I haven't yet entirely decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, I'll third the opinion that this is really impressive. Great job, Dwip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 We haven't had any WIP shots for a while, for the simple reason I had to figure out how to construct Bethesda-style barrel vaults first.You will be pleased to know that I was successful:Yes, all of that arch trim was about as much of a bitch to make as you might think it was.Still need to do doorways, but the major portions are pretty close to done.

Arthmoor Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 You should change your forum title to "Blender God of the Septims" at this point. Holy crap this thing is looking more awesome as each shot goes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwip Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Huh. So I've been saying barrel vault, when what I should have been saying was ribbed vault, which is a variation on the groin vault. Learn something new every day. Also, apparently my decision way back not to major in architecture is coming back to haunt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Damn, Dwip, that really is bloody impressive. Great work. :)As for architecture and related terminology... I'll just let you keep that stuff to yourself, though my eldest son would've loved chatting with you all he could if you had taken that major instead. He's going for a graphics design degree to be able to work in video gaming, but he really wanted to become an architect for a long time back when he was in high school and then when first choosing a college. (I can easily see the distinction between the types of vaults you're proffering as what you'd been referring to incorrectly, I just wouldn't have known that you'd been using the wrong term if you hadn't said anything.
