If you could...

I've been working on this off and on for a while, a few hours making weeks letting it sit around, and really want it to look good. It is a Temple like design loosely based on Greek/Roman style. Will be made of marble.

 

However my materials turn out too unrealistic and I need some help.

 

Also in its final form it will be atop a hill/mountain to and I don't know if it would look better new or ruinous.

 

So basically any help would be nice.

Good looking model.

 

One thing those shapes need to be more realistic is "bevels"

 

Yves has a good tut on them.

Looking very nice and impressive, have you tried the Darktrees (Darksim) materials, or EnhanceAM materials ?

[KnightHammer]

Okay...so bevels are rounded edges right. If that is right is their a simple way of doing that without reworking the model please let their be a material additive I've been over looking.

 

"Darktrees (Darksim) materials, or EnhanceAM materials" no I've not, my AM training was the tutorial and fairly limited at that but I'll look into it.

your materials turn out too unreaslistic... show example?

I'd be happy to say yes to the material-question, but I dont think there is one...

 

There is a plugin from Marcel Bricman (ZPider) around, which can bevel for you... it works in most circumstances, but not in all... I highly recommend to model always from the beginning with bevels.

 

The plugin is available here:

Zevel-Plugin

 

Just to say it again: It cant do miracls!

I really need to spend more time working on this...beveled the column and a basic material

[steve392]

You made a nice job of that ,well done

[Masna]

Nice job so far.

 

I just tried the Zevel plug-in and it just crashed my whole PC, so I'm definitely not going to try that again.

Same with the crash...I wonder if its a new version thing either with AM or Vista

 

I made a perfect cube extruded one side beveling by eye than copied those properties to the other sides. Scale it down it looks good...ish.

Oh, I see. Looks good! I don't have Vista, so it musty be A:M.
