Description
There's is a small possibility that I might have gone a wee bit overboard in modeling all these books. But, they were fun to model so here they are. :o) This environment was created specifically for the animation project of a friend.
Less than 3,000 volumes because I wanted to allow gaps for slanted books, the odd bust of Beethoven here and there and a few vases and collectibles from all over. I still need to design and model the rolling ladder, but that can come later on.
Thank you very much for your feedback, and for taking the time to view this project in progress.

Wonderful design the books are great, I like the work you did on the interior, the door frames and such, I would like to see this one with color. Great job.

Very cool Moe! The books are really filling it out! Can't wait to see it with the knick-knacks added that you mentioned.

Sweeet, Moe. Even untextured this looks really cool. As I've said before I do have a thing for the Victorian era, have you ever thought of doing some commercial Victorian architecture kits that you can mix and match? Please....

brings back memories when i was doing my library-scene :) looks very good! cant wait to see the finished work! -- from an animation stand-point i have to tell you its going to be a hell of a render-time with all those books modeled (personal experience from my own project) but on the other hand - it looks soooo real even untextured .. great work as always M! :) peace //Benny.

Looks like you need some lighting too, Moe :-) Maybe a modest chandelier or some gaslights on the walls? Is that a fireplace over on the right? Ahh! All we need now is a big leather armchair, a pipe, some carpet slippers and a globe with lots of pink countries.

Ultra cool work mate, thenagain I expect nothing less, and knowing you as I do, I'll bet every book has hundreds of pages, all with every page from every classic novel scanned in. Great work my friend

Moe, you must be crazy to model all that books! Impressive!
CarolSassy
Love the tilt/perspective on this. I see you've also did a little filling-in on the doorsill boards. Looks great with all the books there, and I'm looking forward to the next view! V (:
kenmo
Awesome....
oooZENOooo
Any secret passageways? Very nice Moe, though I am sure the texturing will add a more atmospheric depth to your fine modelling
petes
...and you are going to UV individual spine art on all those books right?

Wow. that's all that I can say. I'm a big fan of procedural complexity-- did you explore any script based way of getting all those volumes on the shelves? They're a kind of greeble. . . or is that nurnie-- I never get that right. You might look at some period rooms for the ceiling. . .that recessed style looks more modern than Victorian to me. . .two interesting possibilities: a coffered ceiling, which was common. And also a ceiling with pressed tin. . .not sure if it would have been found in a library, though. Oh, yes, fancier bevels and scrollwork on the moldings. . .that's what I forgot. Very Victorian. . .Here's a reference to "Egg and Dart" style molding-- its an easy way to add a lot of period detail with only a little more work! http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/w00032.asp

Wonderful architecture and designing!!! Very interesting concept!!!
Svenart
Its great to see how you are working this out. Your modelling is always exemplary. But isnt it a problem for you, if you are starting with texturing too late?
pidjy
I'm amazed with the amout of details you put in this! and this scanline render gives this room something strange. Great work my friend!
caleb68
could you imagine texturing all these books? its enough to make my head spin!! lol great work moe, looks really awesome, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Hey, IM Me Moe, wanna ask you about a model, donno if you have one but thought i'd ask, never see ya in chat anymore :'(, thanks man :)
Bastinado
Awesome. I didn't know you did Victorian. I'm gonna need some Victorian props for 'The Janus Legacy' which is part two of Grimm. Are you going to market this stuff?
