Since everyone else is using the athene model... I had a scene pop in my
head for it... tell me what yout think... Playing with radiosity, etc.... I
still have to fix the "stairs" leading up to the temple... too much space
(they are rounded cubes in moray)...Any suggestions?

its def. got potential.. add some sky.. i think it would look pretty
incredible if you filled the background full of tree's and plants.. it would
add a lot of nice shadows. you could also add some details to the flat
area's on the arches.

The pillars seem kind of short.

Slightly reduce the brightness of the radiosity maybe, the flats on the left
facing towards the statue for example are too bright.

I think rounded cubes in moray are in fact superellipsoids - quite a bad
idea to call them rounded cubes...

There seems to be ambient finish on the statue.

No I don't think so. I have been playing around with them on my upcoming
image and I found they rendered about 2 - 3 times faster then an equivalent
superellipsoid. Besides Moray can already create superellipsoids.

Moray rounded cubes are CSG union of boxes, cylinders (edges) and spheres
(vertices), look at generated code :)

Your columns don't match Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian styles.

but of course.... they are "Purdy" style.... ;)

No, I didn't go after any specific style.... I was just playing around..
I found the statue in the "Brazil" thread.. here it is - I had to look
around a bit to get to it, but this gets you to the web-site.

Find info about the Prthenon on the web. I have a book on Athens
with prints for the temple on my desk, but no way to get it to
you.

Hi Christoph Hormann, you recently wrote in povray.binaries.images:

No, they're not, they're CSG. I call superellipsoids by their proper
name....

> - quite a bad idea to call them rounded cubes...
Which is why I didn't do that....

past two years....

I don't know what are your intentions with this image, but
I must tell you that it is not architecturally correct.
In particular, you can't put arches over greek columns.
If you're after a greek theme, you must work with straight
beams, following the wood metaphor in greek architecture
(columns are trunks, beams are straight wooden beams).

Fabien.

Nope... no theme... just slapped it together for fun.... I might look into
doing a more "accurate" version in the future...

Lol
sometimes one begins an image just for the fun and posts it and gets a lot
of advices which lead him far beyond his initial target :)

Well, maybe accuracy isn't the goal to pursue, but being more
"logical" will lead to a better harmony of shapes.
