Hi,
This has nothing to do with the Maya 3D program.
I found a website where you can calculate a date into mayan glyph writing:
http://www.pauahtun.org/Calendar/tools.html (click 'Stela', below)
This lead me to the little exercise in carving this mayan stela.
The screen copy of the website output was only blurred a bit an changed into
greyscale.
Then bump_map of course.
Do you know, if anybody posted a kind of mayan temple here ?
Yours,
Bu.

Oh! This is really nice!! I love Mayan or Astec glyphs. Never got round to
do something with them though.
Don't remember a temple... but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody had done
it.

At least one piece by Marjorie Graterol in the IRTC comes to mind. I
think it was in the Mystery round. Or on her site:

Here is the view from the top of one part of the huge city of Caracol in
Belize.
Behind this group you can just see the base of another which is still
totaly covered in jungle.
Keep in mind that they didn't look much like they do now, they were
covered in plaster painted red, white and black, and they had thatched
roofing over the walls.

Wow! What was the render time? Can you post the source? AWSOME RUINS!

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his
brother casting a spam into the net: for they were phishers. And Jesus
said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become phishers
of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

About 1200 years.

No, sorry the authors staved to death about 500 years ago during a sudden
climactic disruption that lasted about ten years.
Perhaps if you decode the broken steli in the courtyard you will find out
how it was done.
;-)
It is a photo composite done with autopano, original pics were not as good
as I'd like.

Actually, closer to 50. They redid the pyramids every 52 years, in some
cities at least.

The samba was clearly inspired
by the margarita.
