Description "Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in"

Pink Floyd - Wots Uh the Deal, 1973

A rendering. Maybe Utopian. Lots of elements of Byzantine and Arab architecture.

Thx buddy....Im glad u like it... thx for the as well!

Well, I used ACAD to model it and then rendered in AccuRender. The Modelling and sketching bit takes some time as you want to get the right shapes and composition!

thx!

pseudomask In reply to ??? [2004-12-22 15:19:05 +0000 UTC]

I love all the repeated elements and shades in this. From the windows on the building, to the trees spread throughout the piece as well.

The image is extremly well balanced and very dynamic. I love the shadows of the palm trees, this is just such an excellent render.

I could totally see this on a pamplet or postcard for some resort.

Lovely

Sampdoria In reply to pseudomask [2004-12-22 15:43:21 +0000 UTC]

Thx for the beautiful comment, I appreciate your attention to the details. Im glad you liked it. In many arab countries, the mountains and rivers are missing in most areas so I think they developed a rather dynamic sort of architecture which acts like a kind of landscape.

In the olden days, they had the houses packed so close to each other that the streets were so narrow that they were in perpetual shade for most of the day, hence helping pedestrians walk in cool shade. These houses always had an inner courtyard with a small well.

Palm trees have been a crop of sustanence and monetary means in the Arabian Gulf as well as S Iraq, in the ancient times of Mesopotamia and Babylon, there were thick and intensely dense forests of short palm trees, these were so perilous to travel through that they acted as a natural barrier between S Iraq and the Persians.

hehe, hope that wasnt too boring.

Cheers

That there is a sweet pic mate!
10 outta 10 in my opinion!
It looks quite warm there, better bring a hat
then go walking down the street! But you also have to wear sunscreen cause you dont want to get a sun burn, they dont look so good, trust me but a tan is always nice
I like the colours, and it looks so clean!
Unlike my room, which i tried to clean.. but failed miserably to do so...
Ill go visit there, go for a nice walk! I got a new phone for crissy, so Ill call ya and tell you how things are cause you know... im a 'lone-ranger' and all
haha, anyway, yes, *ahem*, great pic as always!

Now this is the kind of architecture I like! Great 3D work..... would love to see life there like a crowd of people at the streets selling/buying/trading stuff like goat skins or slaves...... and ofcourse a royal princess overlooking a purchase of a carpet from her balcony!
