Hello,
I started this image to find a way to do better doorway openings in walls
rather than just csg a hole using a cylinder and box. The bricks came from a
scene I did about three years ago when I did a landscaping project (raised
flower bed) and wanted to experiment with different layouts without lugging
bricks around. The candles started out as point lights but yikes the wild
shadows ..... converted them to area lights with some improvement .....
jitter smoothed out the banding. Anyway I'm pretty pleased with the results.
Jim

Very pretty. Not very realistic, from my limited samplings of
catacombs. (Lacking dirt, bad workmanship, water stains, moldy bones,
etc) but maybe if you had wine bottles in the back or something... :-)

Trust me: your wine does not need CPR.

Jim,
Nice to see the flails found a home.
I think your arch structure is about to collapse!
No keystone and those angled surfaces invite disaster.
If you're going to build with dressed stone, get some competent workmen :)

The sides of your archway are going to collapse. The stones in the vertical
parts must have horizontal joints or they will slide in bringing the whole thing
down.
DLM mentioned a lacking keystone, I think that it's there, just not oversized
like in most cases. That oversizing often have no other reason than an aestetic
one...

Since I'm not a structural engineer, an architect, or a stone mason for that
matter I couldn't agree or disagree with you with any authority. I do
consider myself an accomplished artist and photographer, and a pretty good
judge of the aesthetic layout and composition of things. I was going for
eye candy ... not too worried about meeting building codes.

Ah! OK! You are using the strongest glue in the universe, so there are no
problem at all ;-)
