Hi all, thought I'd post this cos it's starting to look good. I coded the
geometry in an ancient version of RayShade almost 15 years ago, recently
dug it out and extracted all my coordinates. It's built from the ubiquitous
eroded blocks - I just ran a load of inside() tests on a grid through the
plain union to get them in place. I need to do some pruning to get the
memory usage down but I'm pretty happy with the structure and lighting now,
maybe just a little brighter.

There's still a lot of work left though; arches, railings, people,
ground/grass, trees, a few props...

Comments and so forth welcomed as always.
Bill

Wow, I love these kind of images. Feels like you can look at it forever. As
well as being cool I would almost desribe it as... amusing - in a most
respectfull way. Can only imagine the work behind, fitting all of it
together. Very much looking forward to the upcoming versions. :)

I find the lighting very nice as it is. The doorways fall into shadows and
the open areas are very bright.

That is excellent Bill.

Get the arches, posts, railings, figures and gardens in there (with the 
same true to the original style) and I'll buy a print for sure :)

Well done.

Oh yea - Isn't there meant to be a door and small balcony on the top right ?

   That's really nice Bill. I too like the lighting and shadows. I feel as 
if I'm going to fall off when following the stairs!

I have always loved Escher and this one looks pretty good, a beautiful
start.
The structure is fine. I always left the lighting adjustments for the final
part, when I have all modelling and texturing work done. But it's a good
start point.

I know, and I am looking forward to see it evolve.

Yes looks good. Not an impossible object but rather improbable
architecture, as far as I can see. I wonder if anyone tried to
build this in real life for an exhibition or so ;)

Very cool image, especially the lighting.  Two thumbs up :)
