El Castillo project

[Mik2121]

That's a Pyramid, not a Castle. Still... keep going.

But yeah.. I suggest you to rename the proyect to something like.. (if you like spanish names) La Pirámide.

If you dont know.. "El Castillo" is also a name for this temple... it wasn't invented from me:thumbsup:

I love it when people post smart ass remarks to just get shot down for not thinking before posting. Anyhow what are your plans for this? Will this be photoreal or will it be more game? And what programs are you useing? looks good so far and the scaleing looks right so far. Keep going want to see more :)

I agree with you man! :applause:

My first plan was making it photoreal but then I realized that it would be cool to make something biger..so now I'm planing to make one man (king) standing with his arms in the air..
and many people (warriors) on the ground...
Somewhere I have seen that Maya kings where treated like gods..:)
LOL, my english is not so good so the best way for you to understand what I mean is waiting more images :shrug:

Small update, now I'm working on details...
I found some great maps how that place was at that time, so maybe

Nice model, maybe textures could be improved and a background culd be added , could you also post some reference pictures.

Hi hoodedpython, I am still modeling this so there aren't any textures yet...:shrug:
There are many images of the temple but it's so hard to find good ones...

Here is example:

Hi people, here is one more update, I have started to work on textures... here you can see just basic textures, now I will work more on details...
I'm not so good at texturing, so if you have some tips just say

Textures look alright but i would add more magenta to the stone.

"My first plan was making it photoreal but then I realized that it would be cool to make something biger..so now I'm planing to make one man (king) standing with his arms in the air..

Also mybe some green vegatation might not hurt. Not as much as it shows in the refrence pic but still make it look like its been built and used for a hundred years. I also think that it would help to add some sort of civilazation props like wooden homes to help show that its still in use and not the modern day ruins. Just shootin some ideas out there.

Yes, trust me I still dont know what to do.. I was thinking to model whole Chichen Itza town but damn it, I cant find images and informations.
So I will model it same as it looks like now....:shrug:
