hey folks. i'm doing that cathedral for a short poser flick i'm working on. most of the major geometry is done except for the bell towers. i just threw a texture on, so it will change before the final product is done. details are in the future, such as lanterns and things like that. any suggestions (besides textures) would rule! i'll try to convert it over to a poser file somehow and put it in freestuff i think. modeled in lightwave 7.5. wireframe render will be up tomorrow :)

i love that kind of stuff :) great work. seems a bit empty, but you mentioned you'll furnish it ...

It needs some columns to support the roof down the nave, I think.

if i can figure out how to post an image, this should be the wireframe. if not, it's in the gallery :) thanks for the comments! i have columns in the long hall but not the front hall yet. it depends on where the entryway for the belltowers will be i think. any ideas for furnishings? i'll do pews, the alter, where the choior hangs out, and some hanging lanterns... any ideas would rule!

Memorial brasses on the floor, carved openwork screen separating the chancel from the nave, pulpit, font, bible stand in the form of a spread-winged eagle come to mind straight off.

ok, you lost me, but only from the word 'memorial' on. i got pulpit and biblestand though :) for the font i was thinking of tahoma bold... ok, i'm a retard when it comes to churches. can you explain these to me?? much appreciation!

ah... i was thinking about something else. is that normally near the pulpit? isn't that near the front so everyone can see?

I think the font was traditionally near one of the doors (west door?). The brasses are the flat plates, set into the floor with a life-size low relief figure of the memorialised person - a knight or noble most often. The screen, called a rood screen, separated the sacred area around the altar from the congregation - those I've seen were wooden with gilding, solid up to about waist height, then open with tracery or lattice work up to well above head height, ending in a heavy beam that supported a cross in the centre and possibly other decorative elements (heraldic crests os sponsoring families or guilds say); there was an open arch that spanned the ailse.

right on... i'll look up some images. i want this church to be fairly detailed. the film will be about 7 minutes long, all of it either in or right outside the cathedral. thanks! i'll post more images as i get them.
