update!!

:attn: Hello every one!!!:attn:

I just thought I would drop in and give you all an update on the Mosque, it is comming along great!!! I have another question if someone could help me out with it, it involves the resolution of the final image, I read that maya will only put out at 72 DPI and that there is another setting that I have to change to make the actual size of the image larger and then bump up my resolution in Photoshop or something, any ways here is an updated pic, C&Cs are always welcome from everyone. As far as the texture on the previous image all I did was make the color a cream color, and then I used the stucko texture for the mapping texture and there you have it, but I chose not to stick with that texture and tried this new one. Let me know what you all think!!

Thanks

It doesn't look too bad, but looking back at your original picture, aren't they a lot more dusty, and aren't they supposed to be under construction? How true to the original seen do you intend to be?

The construction of this Mosque started before OIF 1, after we started bombing over there, it was never finished. My goal on this project was to finish the mosque to see what it might look like if it were ever completed. I want to get it just as close to real looking as I can, but I dont know how to do stuff with the textures and lighting, so far this is all experemental. The colors that I chose are what alot of the buildings have on them that are here in Iraq. The domes on the buildings are usually different colored mosaics, some are turquise with other colors and designs mixed in with arabic writing. for some reason they love to have arabic words all over their buildings here in Iraq. Thanks for the reply!!

Thank you

Leland

Where exactly do you work with maya?

PS. This question probably was already asked, I just didnt want to get mad reading through the pro/anti war posts.
