Hello everyone!

This is my first WIP thread; I'm really psyched because I've finally decided to invest some time in a personal project...I always feel like doing something interesting but I keep putting it behind because of work...you know...brainstorming in front of a computer all day at work and then coming home to animate some more...It's a little hard for me sometimes.

BUT!...my mind is set!...I'm doing a cool temple with a dojo interior and a nice landscape!! SCREW LIFE!!! WHO'S GOT TIME FOR THAT!!?? :D

I have to start from...the start!...so I'll be drawing and comming up with ideas...I need to look for temple pictures, floor plans and anything I can come up with, so any links would be apreciated. Thanks to everyone in advance for their ideas and critique!!

I suggest picking up a copy of "The Grammar of Architecture" from Barnes & Noble. Its a great book with tons of detailed illustrations of temples and churchs from Ancient Egypt through Romanesque and Gothic and even Neoclassical and Picturesque. Even has details of columns and other useful stuff...

Its a B&N Published book and runs $14.98. You can find with the bargain books by the checkout.

The ISBN # is 0-7607-7445-5

Hope that is useful for you.
