Just seen this awesome modeling done by romrom74 @ http://www.spinquad.com. This has been made in LightWave.......I wonder if Rochr has tried anything like this before?? Amazing details and he hasnt finished yet!!

This is the wires. Totally amazing!

Not sure im that patient...thats beyond excellent! Im still gathering strenght to start on this one. I spent almost a day shooting reference shots from every angle last time i visited Budapest. :)

Now, If i had the skill, this would take me about 10 hours a day for 5 months non stop..........You, well at least a week........ Am I near?? Will you be building this soon Rudy?? I would love to do models like this and i have tried in Bryce with your Master series but, so many crashes has put me off for a while. I had made small parts to be grouped together but my computer is very slow and thats a drag. I would love to watch you people create these master pieces.......such time very well spent in my opinion. :)

Problem is, i dont know exactly where to start. :)

From the base up Rudy.....I would think is would be easier LOL.... That is the problem i have when starting modeling but my biggest problem is usually what to build!! LOL. I have so many photographs of places that it becomes a bit overpowering.....then it ends up with a SOW !! He he he. I do hope you try this out.....always sell it to Daz ;)

@marcfx Yeah thats an amazing piece of modeling there, you could only imagine the work thats gone in there. To do this in Bryce, ha, subtraction hell is what I would call it lol. Any reason why youre calling out Rochr? Putting him to the test? A dual perhaps? Lol. @Rochr Thats a challenge and a half; we have faith in you Rudy;) Are you thinking of using Bryce or C4D? Or is that just a stupid question? Lol. All the best with that project, Ill look forward to seeing it when its done;)

Has anyone ever met Rochr? Is he/she human, alien, or a daisy-chain of Cray super computers. (anyone remember 'Mike' in Robert Heinlien's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) To even consider a project of these magnitude makes my head hurt head hurt head hurt hed hertt heeead huuurrrd had aa hurt

Wow. There is no way I'd be able to do that in my wildest dreams. Given some of the images that Rochr has produced... I wouldn't be terribly surprised. Me, I'm hoping to learn this sort of thing through lots of practice and rigorous training (you can forget natural talent =).

An accurate Hungarian Parliament would really be a challenge and a half, Rudy. How about you start with something simpler? Stefansdom in Vienna? The Cologne cathedral? Notre Dame in Paris? St. Paul in London? Sagrada Familia in Barcelona? :-) If you build the Parliament, you're a god and we will all light candles in front of your altars. :-) I've been toying with the idea of doing a series of buildings from Zagreb, but I never even considered doing the cathedral which was built with the Cologne Cathedral as its model. But there is a nice (not so) little Lutheran church...

having just finished a cathedral model myself, i could probably knock up that Budapest building in a couple of days if you want any help with it.

@Sans2012 Noooooo, No challenge, just a thought if Rudy had ever built something like this.......and now he tells me yes he's thinking of it!....go figure. LOL........He is a GOD! @rj001 Love to see the step by step production, please go right ahead and build.........in Bryce.....with one hand tied behind your back........pirates eye patch on......loud Donny Osmond music playing.........oh and video yourself so that we can learn!! :)

Bugger! Everyone's stealing from my 'NEXT PROJECT' folder....

Amazing modelling though!

@TB LOL I'm glad i dont think of what to do until i do it!!... LOL

I can make that...

If anybody wants to model a Gothic church, here's a couple of details from the Barcelona Cathedral, La Seu. Note the waterspouts.

Here's one more.

just wow! guys, wish I had the ability to model stuff like this, I'd never stop.....

Sans2012, Well, if i ever pull something like that off, i will most likely use Cinema. The boolean operations and wires would most likely end up beeing a total nightmare and the ability to pull specific points and polys is a great advantage. :) Although i would prefer to use both programs if it were possible. Im thinking of reliefs and Bryces excellent terrain editor which i personally think is way beyond Cinemas relief abilities. Plus, Bryce is capable to handle huge polycounts, whereas Cinema would probably choke unless youre using a 64-bit system. :) rj001, Thats a great cathedral man. A crazy amount of details on that one. Erlik, LOL, Notre Dame...yeah right, much easier... :D Ive been doing some practising though with this one. Its a much smaller project and i was thinking of selling it, but in its current state, the model is huge when exported, even if its devided in two or three pieces. Need to work on that. :)

@Rochr You always come up with awesome buildings and ALWAYS in a very short time too. Still would love more tuts here on Rendo or your site just to show how you go about making these things. Like, do you have forward thinking as to what your going to build or, have you already built some items and just add to them as you have done in this image above. I recognise the the main building but the round courtyard is new. Do you make or sketch out some really basic ideas and then adapt to them or is it straight out of the blue so to speak? My MiniSub's arms ended up being a copy of real robotic arms used from a minisub webpage. I only had one image and had to imagine how the parts go together like building in real life. (Not that it looks like it! LOL). It seems that if you have a engineering background it helps a lot! Just love your work and is always a pleasure viewing them.......MAKE MORE!!! Marc (and hopefuly wish you to make some more tuts while your at it!!!)

I hate Rochr. His practicing is better than my best efforts. He should be banned :P

I second that Curtis!! He can only come back if he promises to make tutorials for us for Christmas........then and only then will we let him resume his place on HIS throne! :p Marc (Still hoping to persuade his godliness) LOL

You have to remember, Rudy has multiple tentacles and can therefore use 8 mice, with an 8 monitor array simultaneously.....

aahh, he is alien

Nice model Rochr! I know for sure that u could make a model like, the one this thread started about B-)
