Dirack -- Newbie entry -- Promachus
 

Hey there, I think I'll be entering this challenge, and since my modeling skills are, ahum, quite less than noteworthy, I'll be doing newbie level :). I will try to construct the ancient city of Promachus, the capital city of something I must think off.... It's greek / roman style and the citizens are advanced but tree-hugging types, so they all use an alternative energy source... and more I'm not yet going to reveal yet.. (perhaps I haven't gotten a clue yet ;) ).

First try at this..... the building is pretty simply, although I don't like the doors and I think it'll be hell texture this for me... anyways here's the pix :D

Numbro 2

....

nice
 

nice. i like this one. you had fun during those 6 hours didnt cha? hehe

Damn.... did you search for a reference on google. Because i think we got the same one...

*has gone to redo his steps and pillar placement*

Oh yeah it looks nice..

Nah I never use any reference... it makes me sad...
org: I had fun during those 4 hourse... now I gotta make myself continue with this as well :p..
Aight guys... I'm posting this cuz I want to be first with this.... I'm going to build my city around 'the Aquinas Hub', a coloseum/arena building that is filled with water... where boat combat thingy tournaments take place :). Also I'm going to build a high tower energy building thingy.. ( I use thingy too often.. :\). Anyways.. just making sure nobody steals my ideas :D:D.

Looking Good!!

sweeeeeeeeeeet!

After those short hours of work... I get all these compliments! Thanks guys! :D:D It's really motivating, and I'm going to work hard and even harder :D I've updated the roof, doors, gardening rails and speech tower thingy, and I've learned that lightning plays a major role in pictures.... check it out :D

Number 2...
Btw: I'm still at 5700 polies unsmoothed now... quite low for my work :p But that will triple or something when I add a lot of roman statues to the scene... and the smoothing won't be pleasant for my comp either.. but that's all post creation. Anways I'm having fun! :D

btw it's default lightning from GI... I'll play around with it some more :)

Definately play around with the lighting more 'cause they're rather dark :)

Otherwise it looks like a good start...

very nice start. Watch to make sure you don't make it so complex it makes it hard on you when you texture.

and a little more light would be nice.

Keep going good becouse I think you have some good ideas there.

Bah, I'm getting the feeling I'm doing too much, and that I will stop after I reach a certain point... :( And the faces are piling up because of the columns as well (10091!) And they'll rise even further when I'm going to smooth and statue the place :( comments?
