This is the first result of a 5-year-project ;o)
It is a view of the Mezquita in Córdoba, Spain. The code actually includes
*all* of the mosque - is going to I should rather say. So what you see here
is just a small part. I know there is a lot to do yet: lighting is all
wrong, floor should have structure (tiles, different textures), the arches
are too flat, there is no ceiling, no roof, the walls are flat, no windows,
the cathedral has only some columns... The mosque columns are the only thing
I have worked on quite a bit. They all have a different part of the same
texture (thank you Peter!).
In my view it already looks a bit like the real thing, for that reason I
post it. I am very interested in any kind of criticism. And don't say I'd
better post a real photograph: I'm just having plenty of fun trying to get
it look real.

columns, and possibly the code for it.

I've never seen so many columns in one room! Have you been there personally,
or did you find it in a book?

I'm impressed - keep up the good work. This will be amazing when finished if
this is anything to go by

Ken: a non-progressive jpeg. I'm sorry about the progressive one: didn't
know something like that existed. ImageReady is all very new to me. It
*does* have a checkbox for progressive...

This is just a *small* part of the mosque. Wait till you have seen all of
it! It's a building with about 600 or 700 of those columns....

Ooh, this image is just crying out for focal blur and radiosity - It already
looks great.

Thanks for the user friendly version. I'm impressed with your work so far.
It looks to be a very ambitious project but you really seem to have a good
start. I think the lighting is a bit busy but I'm sure you will tone that
down as you go :)

Would area lighting do better for this?  It's good stuff and all but I can't
help but think the long shadows should start fuzzing up at the far reaches.

It looks mesmerizing with all those columns.
I like the detail there, especially the ornaments at the top.
I'm not sure about the arcs, they seem a bit too smoothe.
I haven't been there, I only know it from pictures, but I can't imagine the
light there being as it is now, but I guess you're still working on that.
What are the coloured things in the back?

So that's the mysterious project that bugged you so long? I am glad to
see it has turned out amazingly well. Congratulations! I am not going
to pick on lighting etc. because I realise this is a work in progress.

From what I know, the Spanish culture has many Arabic motives
interwoven. Is this the case with the Mezquita? I suggest you take a
look at www.islamicart.com when you have more time, just in case.
Also, are there any arabeskes on the floor/domes/columns? If so, I
suggest you check out Arabeske (www.wozzeck.net/arabeske/).

I am looking forward to seeing more of this. Just one more question --
<OT> how do you think Concierto de Aranjuez will sound if performed
there? </OT> <grin>

The arabs conquered Spain for about a couple hundred years... that's why
there's so much arabic influence. For example: alcohol, álgebra, zanahoria,
almohada, alcázar, etc.
