Brian Cassil Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 This is a different sort of image than what I'm used to doing so I thought I would get some of your input. I would especially like opinions on the bump shadows (most visible on the front facia). It's a renovations so I was trying to keep a little bit of the old feel and thought that might help. I'm wondering if it's a little distracting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi, Brian! Gotta say it's really, really well detailed! Man, you gotta be Yoda patient to do so...hahaha... It's really good, especially the bump shadows. They're what marks the image, a good characteristic imho. I'd love to see other angles.

Brian Cassil Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Obrigado pelo responda Rick! (Thanks for the reply Rick!) I had actually started modeling this with much less detail but it wasn't having the "old" look that I was after. So I went and took a bunch of photos of this on my way home one day and that ended up making a huge difference. Really it wasn't that much work. Mostly, I just had to add some little corners and details to my loft shapes. I'm glad you like the bump shadows, I guess I'll keep them. Here's the only other view I'll be doing of this building.

Ricardo Eloy Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 De nada! (you're welcome!) Anyway, now that I can see the whole building, I guess you could use some tiling on the facade, so you'd have more to play with (the white plain walls make it look brand new). Check out some of those Washington DC government buildings and you'll see what I'm talking about. [] Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cassil Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 I'm not 100% certain what your talking about. Do you mean that I need to add a little bit of variation to the white walls, like adding a noise map or something? If that's the case I would agree and I'll try that.

Chad Warner Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think Rick was meaning to have the facade look as though it were made of stone blocks instead of one solid surface....however, if the finish of the material is stucco or something like that, I would definately put some texture in there either way. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cassil Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Ok, as a matter of fact it is stucco. I do have a stucco material which shows up pretty well in the high res version and in the print I made. However, I think I may add some variation to it anyway.

salf Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Nice image, i do have one concern, but is a design issue: What is that on top of the building?, those 3 peaks....what kinda church (religion) is it?, i could be wrong, but all the churches i know have "the cross" on its pinnacle. If not, it has its religion icon, it could be a half moon, a star, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cassil Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 It's an LDS church (The Mormons!) Without getting too religious on everyone Mormons do not use crosses as a religious symbol. The steeple is the icon (symbolic of the resurrection). This is why you will see a steeple implemented in all places of LDS worship. Beyond that however, the building was originally constructed in 1862. We are simply restoring it, not redesigning it. The three peaks on top are actually 5 peaks (one of the back ones is visible in the second image). I'm not 100% certain but I believe they represent a torch, the symbolism being similar the the torch on the Statue of Liberty. Utah was a fairly new territory (not yet a state) in those days and Mormons were coming from all over the world to settle there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
