Gaining shape --->>> Texturing

[Gaieus]

I haven't really worked on anything valuable for quite long... But lately I've been working on and off on this basilica we found last year. Amazingly, during the last couple of days, I have put in some more effort and yes, It's "gaining shape" already.

Some clay renders

And now back to finishing the roof and finally texturing...
(I won't be back before that)

Like the clay renders Csaba!

What year was the basilica built? Romanesque?

[Gaieus]

No, "real" (late) Roman, from the 4th century. This is the excavation last year:



And this is how it was shot

[WardNL]

Wow, that makes it an early Christian church right?

Look forward seeing some textured images.

[Gaieus]

Well, the term "basilica" does not necessarily (and exclusively) refer to a religious building at that time but also big, public halls - just think of the Maxentius Basilica in Rome (Maxentius himself was not even Christian - what's more, he prosecuted them sometimes).

Now we have no evidence so far either pro or contra.

This is however only one "phase" of the (at least) three of the same building - or a series of similarly large buildings of and probably same function (or not?). The digs are still going on (although yesterday cold weather and rain started - until then we could work in shorts )

looking v promising.....so is this your job gai?

[Gaieus]

Sort of. My very original profession (apart from being a postman between secondary/high school and university)
But I am a lawyer, too.

A little update (I'll have a bit of a job when texturing...) Roofing.

I'll definitely need some interior lights. If I put the "roof tiles" layer on (it is off now), it is very dark inside

Looks like a fascinating project! There is a small church near where I live, and was looking at modeling it... you will laugh when you see how small.

Have you tried setting your sky color to medium or light gray for clay renderings?
