MarketPlace Showcase F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 08 7:09 am)
This is great news and it looks like you're off to a good start. For reference material I'd suggest checking books and sites relating to Jack the Ripper as many of them have contemporary pictures of the murder sites. www.casebook.org has some in their Victorian London section. Gustave Dore's illustrations of London, although made slightly earlier, will also be useful as the architecture in the East End didn't change much. I'm really looking forward to this one so let me know if I can help with refernces (I'm based in London). Dan
Thanks for the responses gang... Kayjay: soon... very soon. I had this thought hit me over the weekend, and wanted to get a proof of concept down first. I pretty much suspended work during the holidays due to vacation and a new baby, but things are ramping back up. ChuckEvans: You got it... it's based on my research around the Ripper period. DanR: Coincidentally, casebook was the site where I got quite a bit of reference material. I'll look for Dore's book to add to it. Also, any reference photos, textures, etc. you can supply will get you a freebie when I'm done. :o)
I'll be happy to help, freebie or no freebie. The building shown looks similar to 29 Hanbury Street, though without the attic windows. The casebook site has a close-up of the brickwork on some of the still remaining buildings. Are these the king of shots you're looking for? If so, I can head down there at the weekend with my digital camera.
Good eye! It was based on the 29 Hanbury Street photo. I added the attic as an option to get better usage out of the model. I'll likely do optional dormers, etc. in others. regarding the camera, I'd much appreciate hi-res brick, stone, street, etc. textures of period structures still standing. That would be awesome! For comparison, here's the link to the source image as posted on the casebook website: http://www.casebook.org/victorian_london/sitepics.w-han.html
I've just read that The Ten Bells exterior isn't original, so maybe The Pricess Alice (now called City Darts) would be better. I've also decided to join a Jack the Ripper tour conducted by Donald Rumbelow (author of The Complete Jack the Ripper), which seems a painless and educational way to do some scouting. I'll IM you when I have something for you.
Significantly different though I think. Personally I'm waiting for the release of yours too!

This one was indeed a dark image, by design. I lowered the brightness settings on the Poser lights to see how well the textures would fare in low light. The other images were done with a standard 3 light setup I have configured. Since I don't really do a lot of Poser images, I keep the lights to a minumum to facilitate fast test renders. Good eye though.
Wow! How are you going to fit this all into 25M?
