We cancelled fishing today because of bad weather.
So I had some time to work on the image :)

Added the rest buildings to the left side. Modified some
previous buildings.
Made some changes recommended by Christoph Hormann.
Added bindings to the dome recommended by Ib Rasmussen.
Rearranged some objects.
The source is in p.b.s-f.

As a next step I'll paint those buildings. If you have a good
paintbrush or airbrush you can join me :)

Gena.

Well, I don't, but I might be able to help with some more buildings to 
paint on :)

When you started this project, you offered detailed drawings of St. Paul 
Cathedral Facade. I would like to see what you've got. If there is not 
too many sculptures on it, I might give it a try (unless somebody else 
has already started on it?).

The most important point - 'assumed_gamma 1' - is still missing.  I
strongly suggest to add it (or to apply gamma correction afterwards if
preferred) before working on the textures.

I downloaded some views of the facade to try and reference the statues 
on top.  But I don't have anything very useful.  If there are any 
details of the statues I could try and rough them out.

I found a large photo at 
http://www.gregoryferdinandsen.com/Old/Old_Images/St%20Pauls%20Cathedral.jpg

I have three different classical figures, that I have used on a church 
(http://www.ibras.ishoejby.dk/frederik/frederik.htm), that might pass as 
the three free standing sculptures on top of the triangular front 
(pediment?), but there is also some figure groups on the side towers, 
and a number of reliefs, especially the large triangular one 
(tympanon?), which I wouldn't know what to do with.

You can always try HFs for that. Jim Kress and I have both had pretty good
success recreating sculpture with HFs. An example can be seen at Jim's site

This is of coarse presuming that you can find a good base image to start with.

I posted zip file with some images in p.b.s.-f.
See the thread 'Re: Capriccio - Dome of St. Pauls'
I think the image which you posted in this thread
has more details :)

Could you please describe the process? I have been always thinking
about something like that for faces/figures/sculptures. Is it completely manual
process?

Sounds good

Okay, I'll try and do something rough for those

Here is image with assumed_gamma 1
Should we change any other parameter(s)?
It looks too dim for me.
