Here is my newest batting project: Church of Our Lady, Kalundborg.

Here is an aerial photo:

The shape is unique. Its shape as a Greek cross:

The real roof is blue or red ? On the first picture it's blue but on the aerial shot it's red!

Anywa nice job man, I really like it.

Will you make the brick fences and the small building also ?

Girafe · August 08, 2011, 05:20:27 PM

Model is good and the architecture really interesting

Following my previous comment, I would say that the roof textures need to be a little bit "dirtier" and I wait for an in-game pic for giving a ruling on the saturation of the bricks

Add more small details could avoid the plan effet of the structure and give relief

Glad to know you're BATting again, Arne. The shape is, indeed, unique and the church will make a fine addition to the LEX.

In the first photo, it appears to be about 2:30 pm and the roof looks like blue glass with lights shining from within or behind it. The red roof is not so easily explained, though. This site tells an interesting story of rivalry between Fin the Troll and builder Esbern Snare and mentions that the spire collapsed on September 7, 1827. It does not explain the color differences between the roofs, though. Wiki doesn't mention the roof at all, so fill us in if you know the answer.

I asked already this differencies and it's the answer:

Quote Arne pri-forum:
The reddish brown color is of the newly layed copper. The green is the color it gets after a few years:

Moreover an interesting discussion came on the fact to have 2 versions and timing them (yes carl loves the timed props

)

Thank you all for your comments.

This church is from around 1220. According to traditions its build by Esbern Snare, brother to Absalon, Bishop of Roskilde and Archbishop of Lund. Absalon is said to started the construction of Roskilde Cathedral.

Didn't even noticed it, just so used to building with copper roofs be restored.
The red is the color of copper that is newly laid, where as the turn green when ageing.

Here is an update:

Will try to dirty up the textures.
The textures is made out of a picture of a real church.

Thinking about it.

Nice church, but I find the basis too dark, there's too much contrast. Perhaps if you reduce it, it'll make the building a little less "virtual" and more realistic?

Started batting another Church of Our Lady, the Copenhagen Cathedral

Here is a few picture of the real one:

This church is of the architect F.C. Hansen. You might knom some of his other works like the Copenhagen City Court House or the Christiansborg Castle Church.

The two latest church are wonderful, Arne! That last one is really interesting with its column on the entrance.

Sciurus · September 13, 2011, 11:11:38 AM

Very nice church, but when will they been released?

Well this last one will probably be released before the first one.

Want to do a some probs for the Kalundborg Church Of Our Lady.
That might lead to a new updated lot of the San Andreas.

Girafe · September 14, 2011, 05:17:31 AM

model looks good but you can quickly upgrate it.

1. This texture is nice but I will incrase the contrast a little bit and add dirty stains.

2. You could model the cornice which add more details and could be visible.

3. gutter could be a nice addition too.

4. lot of details around the door like the fronton

5. Balustrade could be nice.

6. Bevel this part

7. Add another texture on this small cornice (white / grey could add diversity).

vester · September 14, 2011, 05:51:52 AM

TY for the comment.

All things that is planned.

On the textures: Planned to learn to unwrap it.

Just want everyone to see what I was working on.

Girafe · September 14, 2011, 03:39:09 PM

I have to learn it too.

SF gave on simtro these last days few explanations on this method. Moreover it will be helpful for the automatas but first approach was really a disaster. Seems to be more complex than I though

vester · September 16, 2011, 04:49:13 AM

Here is an update where I done some of the things Girafe pointed out:

Still haven't done anything about the textures.

Getron · September 16, 2011, 05:05:36 AM

@Vester,

A beautifull Danish Church. But is it a ingame picture? It's because of the pavement I ask. Those pavement looks awesome.

vester · September 16, 2011, 06:15:11 AM

Thank you.

Sorry, its not a in-game picture. I just like to place the model on a ground so that the shadow shows up.

art128 · September 16, 2011, 06:48:14 AM

Excellent modeling , Arne!

vester · September 17, 2011, 04:25:30 AM

vester · September 17, 2011, 10:13:55 AM
