that's an awesome start. I agree about the water (really noticable on the top of the fountain) but the other details are outstanding.

Heya!

first of all.... ur pic is awesome, I like it a lot, looking forward for more updates!!!

but I have...

some suggestions:
1.- add dirt! everything looks too clean (it's a really old fountain, unless someone spent a lot of time and money to get it cleaned up :))
2.- geometry of the fountain (break up those straight lines if u can, but it all depends if ur going to see it close or not)
3.- the texture on the background floor looks weird (not as realistic as all of the fountain/sculptures textures IMO, but I can-t see it very well, maybe we can see a pic from another angle?)
4.- true, water from the mountain should be more transparent i think...

great details and textures/lighting work!

more! more! (I luv architectural stuff :))


ciao!

I don't know if you mentioned Prog and Renderer, but I think you should put it into a high quality renderer with some moodier lighting.

Everything but the water coming out of the fountain on the top looks amazingly realistic.

Está muy bien, los leones´son muy realistas, (no sé si a alguno le debería faltar una oreja, pero están muy bien), las manchas de agua, las coqueras de la piedra, la iluminación, los relieves de la fuente.. hasta que llegas al agua. No sé, quizá es poco transparente o reflectante, muy blanquecina, mmmm, no sé. El realflow está bien para los chorros (los que salen de la boca de los leones están genial), pero para superficies quizá jugando más con texturas (raytrace, con un bump para las ondas) quedaría mejor.
Como te quede el resto del patio (te volverás loco con los mocárabes y las celosías de yeso) igual de bien que esta fuente te va a quedar un proyecto que ni Boabdil V lo distinguiría del real.

Great work, yeah, awesome... etc.

oh guys! ...a hard work is waiting for me: I'm decided to finish this exceptional piece of architecture. take a look:

for the moment it is impossible to show the scene from another point of view: because behind the fountain there's NOTHING! ...some day I'll post here the whole courtyard...

...and thanks for the comments!

Comentario para mi compatriota Pancreas: Ay! los mocárabes*, los mocárabes... si no lo logro habrá que decir: "Llora como mujer lo que no supiste modelar como hombre"

*mocárabes: those ornaments hanging from the arcs and vaults

Explanation about the above comments:

Boabdil V was the last arabian king of Granada. When the Spanish kings reconquered Granada in 1492 (the same year America was discovered) Boabdil starts to crying and his mother told him: "Cry, cry like a woman what you didn't know how to defend as man"
...I say that if I can't to model this in 3D I'd say: "cry like a woman what you didn't know how to model as man"
