RyanSpaulding Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm on a project that requires of all things, ancient egyptian people in the rendering. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? I cant imagine there would be an Ancient Egyptian people collection...is there? EDIT: Make that....Greek people. Ha.

alexg Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Have you tried searching on photostock websites? Maybe photostock.com / gettyimages / imagehit / punchstock ? Most of their photos are 'posed' model, which might not be suitable for render, but it's worth to try. A search on Google might get you a couple of native Egyptian, but not in ancient costumes. Once we have a request like this and the client finally decided to do a photoshoot on bluescreen by hiring a modelling agency. The only other thing I can think of that's quick enough to do is to try a screen capture of ancient egyptian movies, it's gonna be low res and it's going to breach all copyright issues.

RyanSpaulding Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 It's actually a project where I'm modeling Pharos' Lighthouse of Alexandria, the last of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. It's in Egypt, but I think it was under Greek rule at that time (about 300 B.C.) I need people in dress. That's it. They'll be so far out it wont matter much but I need to convey the scale of this structure. It's over 400ft tall and it looks quite small and cg'ish at this moment. I have another 3 weeks to work on it. EDIT: I also need to find some Greek statues. Something tells me this project is gonna be difficult to finish right.
