Title: St Shaun Cathedral
Post by: tag_one on August 11, 2009, 09:22:51 AM
Let us all bow for our mighty pond master. The one who brought light and beauty to our streams. Let us bow and build a cathedral for our holy master Shaun (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.fokzine.net%2Fs%2Fworshippy.gif&hash=eaf06b473d4d22da8feea49e03539b31dd00b81a)

Slowly but surely the main part of the cathedral is taking shape:

Next step: the small chapels behind the altar. I already started with the walls. Now I've to find a way to make a good looking roof over there.  ::)

This is an amazing piece of art. There will be a lot of overtime for the workers at Ledpro (I assume they'll provide the nightlights  ;)).

Keep up the good work.

I think so, BATing takes quite some time (at least if you want to do it properly)

if you want to be sure, you should ask Merijn (Tag_one)

If yes, wait.. People have others things to do in real life,that takes more time and that are better than modeling a cathedral in 3dsMax.  ;)

Don't worry Gianthaiku, it's still alive. Unfortunately I was quite busy the last months. Normally I don't work on large projects when I've only a couple of hours spare time a week. Now that I've a couple of days of I can spend some more time on this one. But don't expect it to be finished anytime soon. nevertheless, your wait will be rewarded :)

Tag One, Jack wilds here...

excellent!... your out doing yourself... if these teasers live up to expectations, it will be something worth looking at in the game... VG  :thumbsup:

thoughts... &idea

...also in the query can the bells ring out a few notes more than what is usual and then is it possible to time the bell ringing in game to sound off every-so-often Sundays, special events... then a feature to sound on or off... perhaps the query could also have 'weddings performed', 'baptisms baptized', and 'funerals performed', service times, to dress it up with some more church-y happenings info, Sim religious quality of life scale ...

added 4-30-10

concerning the latest releases on the stex... like 'em a-lot; well done...  :) the bee farm was a good touch as the sim apples were looking rather sad of late  &mmm ... I like the 'odeon theatre' particularly the lighting -however the one with the parking lot has a texture I don't, so it looks like a hole to china... thanks for the new stuff  ()stsfd()  :thumbsup:

grate idea's Jack! I will sure use some ;)

Although we're 9 months later, I can still imagine working on this cathedral like yesterday. A few days ago I grabbed the model again and made the south tower and the west entrance. It's now finally nearing completion. I still need to model some roof ornaments and some other small things. But that shouldn't take long. Here're some progress images
