Hey guys! Been a long time since I messed around with Maya. Was busy [and still am] with school. I have been having this picture in my mind for so long now. I finally got the chance to give it a start. I used Edrom Arch as a template for the building. It is a VERY old Scottish church that I thought looked pretty neat. I am still not that satisfied with the picture. I rendered this in two parts: 1) I rendered the scene using the Maya render engine so that the paint effects would render. 2) I rendered the scene once more with Mental Ray to get a better looking render of the building. I cut and pasted the Mental Ray rendering of the building into the other picture. Please C&C!!! And if you could... give me some tips on getting a cooler looking atmosphere. (I would like to see this scene on a cold rainy and cloudy morning but I am stuck :/ ) -flipfl0p
