lemog Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 RAYMOND -> no, I'm using Maya since many years. edub -> the statue doesn't have much detail, it's low poly modeling, just the bump map which give this details appearance... ...you can take a look to the mesh on this picture : http://lemog.club.fr/lemog_expo_v1/albums/reconstruction/wip/porte_binet/wip_binet_010.jpg Marko_JJ -> thanks for the support and the motivation Marko... merci ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAYMOND Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 well very nice plug for Maya.. the bump looks great. be interesting to know how many of these structures still exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemog Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 be interesting to know how many of these structures still exist? Unfortunetely... all these world's fair are transitory... and for this one, not exists so much actually... - the "petit palais", - the 'Grand Palais", - the Eiffel tower build for the previous World's Fair of Paris in 1889, - and very few little buildings as you can see in this website (in french) http://pageperso.aol.fr/bottomcircle/Expo-1900.html The "petit palais" and the "grand palais was situated just behing this monumental gate... it's really the first part of this World's Fair.

RAYMOND Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 so are you just working off of these photo's??? if so the task looks rather daunting i would go crazy without plans and dimensions. i have wondered what some of classy buildings would look like that burned down in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. like city hall.. that was just completed. your models are quite WOW..

lemog Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 so are you just working off of these photo's??? My references are on my website : http://lemog.club.fr ...much photos, but unfortunetely only few blueprints... if so the task looks rather daunting i would go crazy without plans and dimensions. i have wondered what some of classy buildings would look like that burned down in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. like city hall.. that was just completed. oh yes, there's always much interest to know how was all these missed buildings... very passionating...

lemog Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Great modeling as usual Laurent, how long is it going to take to finish this project ? In fact... its' the major problem... I can work only during my short spare times... at least 3 years... to realize this World's Fair in totality... ...but in the case I must stop for any reasons... I've planed many big steps... this first step will be finish near the end of 2006... certainly... I've planed 2 pavilions each month... 23 pavilions to do in first... ...and for the rest... we will see... man,, i cant say any word, u r ammazing.........

Wayne Harney Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks for sharing this. I'd like to look over your shoulder and see how you do this so quickly. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYMOND Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 visited your web site... nice place to stare at things... btw how did france manage to have 2 world expositions 1989 and 1906 so close to each other.... aren't we supposed to share locations... nice work tho... i would never stop on this one ... it getting too much attention for that... btw, how do you post your images so they are in the message box and not attached?? i tried but couldn't..

lemog Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks for sharing this. I'd like to look over your shoulder and see how you do this so quickly. Amazing! I don't really think that my work is very fast... but in any case, I must try to respect my planning... keep "a pruduction" permit to keep the motivation. Thanks for your interest. btw how did france manage to have 2 world expositions 1989 and 1906 so close to each other.... aren't we supposed to share locations... In fact, all the first Paris World's Fair was done all 11 years during a certain period : 1855 (12 years) - 1867 - 1878 - 1889 - 1900... and as you can imagine... each time, almost all was destructed to give place to the new buildings... btw, how do you post your images so they are in the message box and not attached?? i tried but couldn't.. You must link your picture (hosted)... while inculdind the url between code as this example : [ img ] htttp://url of your picture.jpg [ / img ] I add space to disable the example... you can use "url" at the place of "img" if you just want to give a clickable link.

lemog Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Update for the Monumental Gate... The main arche...

NHynek Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 That is quite impressive to say the least. You may have already answered this question in a previous post but is everything built to scale? or are you just looking off photographs and making educated guesses as to how tall or big things are? Either way it's incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msamir Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I just gave a visit to your website and i have to say this some impressive work you've got there, i'd be very proud if i made work like that, congratulations and good luck on this one.

You may have already answered this question in a previous post but is everything built to scale? or are you just looking off photographs and making educated guesses as to how tall or big things are? Either way it's incredible! I trying ot model at scale... but with a majority of photos as refs... I try to have an idea of scale with the knowed environment, people, etc... and in my ancient books, I search all the size... I always try to be near of this ancient reality ;-) Update now : Addition of many details, especially thousands of electrics lights. While playing with lite... electric fairy awakes... A last one, for the pleasure... I just gave a visit to your website and i have to say this some impressive work you've got there, i'd be very proud if i made work like that, congratulations and good luck on this one. Thanks mate... your words about my works make my motivation... very kind, thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skogskalle Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 ive been away for a while and havent seen this thread until now... amazing work! The modelling is great and so is the texturing! I think (as someone else also mentioned) that the swedish pavilion doesnt look as good as the rest of them, but I think that has more to do with the design (very strange materials on that one!) than anything else.... 3 years you say...? I would love to have that kind of patience and dicipline hehe... if you pull this off its gonna be one coolest 3d projects ive ever seen! If you, when youre finished with all the different parts, combined them all into one huge scene and made a flythrough it would be awsome! but I guess that would require a pretty strong computer to say the least... anyways...ill stop rambling now... but really great project man! good luck!

I know about the swedish Pavilion... that can of course appear very strange... I've planed to do more test about it... but a swedish friend of mine assure me that this aspect and color was used much in Sweden in the 1900'... I don't know, I'm not a specialist... bit it's sure that the blend of these original shapes and colors is surprising... as for the visitors at this time. That will be a very long project... I can't be sure to be able to finish it... the more difficult is to keep the same motivation and the same interest along the project... I have much other possible project in my mind, for the futur... I must try to don't think so much to these ones... and always focus me on this one... Thanks for the motivation with your words, I'm happy if there's people interesting by that... What I was hoping was that as you get the project closer to completion you can find a TV producer who will help get it finished and shown. Yes, it's maybe a possibility... and a possible final way... for the moment... it's again really the beginning, and I prefer to don't project so much my mind in this future... I prefer envisage that when the project will be very advanced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
