Is it weird that I remember this building from Red Alert 2? lol

Looked weird at first with no props or decorations.. but with a little bit of attention and detail and I really like how I got mine to work out. I cant upload an image here sadly you'll need to go to my profile > screenshots to see it

Pretty cool, I live 15 minutes at most from it so it's weird seeing it in a game...

That looks like a ruin from Horizon Zero Dawn of a military academy.

It's absolutely beautiful, I love it!

As a side note, do you think this is a suitable chapel for my 'Places of Worship' collection?

good.nice

Yeah, I had a feeling those things were lights. Thanks for the additional info!
Spectre Rose 25 Jun, 2021 @ 7:36pm 
Oh, before I forget: Lighting

Most of the interior lighting comes from a series of lights that often look like black circles or googly eyes in photos (given that most photos are taken during the day, when they don't need so many of them on) which can be found in lines along the fold on the interior wall. There's one on at the right side of this picture.

On that same fold in the wall outside the front and back windows, they turn them all on and it really highlights the outside of the building, which you can see easily in @RaftermanNZ 's photo. (Kudos, dude! Outstanding shot.)

You will not be able to see the interior of the building at night from the outside, as the windows are all opaque enough to diffuse all interior light, in addition to reflecting the exterior lights.

That said, a view from the side is pretty stunning:

@everyone thanks for the kind comments!

@Spectre Rose Thanks! I was able to find some original blueprints through google images so I was able to model it almost exactly how it is in real life.
Spectre Rose 25 Jun, 2021 @ 6:13pm 
14... 15... 16... 17. Excellent.

I am impressed by the fact that you managed to get some of the easily overlooked details into this model, such as the downward slope of the ground around the base of the building, and the diamond pattern on those slopes. Very well done.

Nice, recognized this from Horizon Zero Dawn
RaftermanNZ 24 Jun, 2021 @ 10:15pm 
I got this shot a couple years ago, if you want a light reference, the south side of the building is pretty well lit.
