#14

I will not try to make all of details (for control speed and polygons count) and also I try to increase my speed. For this, Each time I become more familiar with the project and then make some changes in my modeling way and details level.

Here is the status number 6:

Quite a huge undertaking. Could you post a photo at the beginning of each section so we can see your reference. I.E. the main door that you are modeling can you post your reference?

#16

of course. it’s the main door image:

and it’s my reference:

#17

Wow, how much time per day are you devoting to this project? This door alone looks like several weeks, if not, months to complete. Go for it – I’ll be following this thread!

#18

I would say you are crazy if the modelling so far didn’t look so good. Look forward to updates, i love projects like this!

#19

Hey man,

Great work so far! Any chance we could see some larger renders?

I really look forward to seeing your progress on this. Keep us posted!

between 2 to 4 hours. But I will increase this time. I hope finish it faster because there are many works to do :cool:

But I’m glad with it. Please attend I will not try to make objects exactly similar for control project time and polygons count. Also in each level I will go back and make needed changes in details to make better result. So be patient and thanks for following :thumbsup:

Of course, When I finish each part, I will post large render. Thank you for following AJ.

After amount one Week, I’m in the good way as I think and now, Know that how much work on details and how work on the models for better result and lower polygons. So now I will going to make heads. When I finish this part, I will work on material and make needed changes in the models. I’m so interest to see what will going. How about you?! :cool:
