nifa Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 (edited) Artemision Bronze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemision_Bronze https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/zeus-or-poseidon-from-the-artemision-d4876aa609304682945145debedfc77e https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/iiif/KAS2100?q=Poseidon eller Zeus fra Artemision&page=0&filters=has_3d_file%3Atrue That statue showed either zeus or poseidon depending on the weapon in the hand, so I just made both. It was kind of difficult to find a representation for how the ancient greek imagined a thunderbolt, but I certainly didn't want some harry-potter-kind zigzag thunderbolt. I made two separate meshes, but we could also add the weapon as a prop if that's better. Both models can use the cover prop. I'm not sure about the colours though. I added eyeballs, so when we have the final colours I'd like to add this (with gimp?): Quote The empty eye-sockets were originally inset, probably with bone, as well as the eyebrows (with silver), the lips, and the nipples (with copper). @wowgetoffyourcellphone maybe you could have a look and tweak it a little? Also I just used a brightened diffuse as spec map for now, but I could bake something if needed. poseidon_cover.dae statue_poseidon.dae Edited December 9 by nifa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 I think the trident would be balanced like a spear, so that his hand would be at roughly midpoint of the shaft. Also, can the modesty prop have wrinkles in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Could we modify Athena to be Rome? This is Roma or Rome the goddess. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_(personification) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nifa Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 looks better with more contrast on the uv map again. Is that the right position for the trident? I will see what I can do about the wrinkles statue_poseidon.dae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nifa Posted December 9 Author Report Share Posted December 9 next one, a well known: Discobolus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discobolus https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KAS1074?q=*&filters=has_3d_file%3Atrue&page=7 Including modesty prop again. @wowgetoffyourcellphone ready for commit? You might want to tweak contrast, brightness, saturation etc. again Could also make a new spec from the diffuse if you want the cover to be shiny too. discobolus_cover.dae statue_discobolus.dae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Another important statue is Mithras the cult of Roman soldiers. This is already Greco-Persian syncretism. He is a god who sacrifices to the sacred bull, an animal venerated throughout the Middle East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no representative statue, the cult is very varied. From the Greek point of view, the Ephesian Artemis is a distinctive form of their goddess Artemis. In Greek cult and myth, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo, a virgin goddess of the hunt, the wilderness and the moon, who, despite being a goddess of childbirth was nevertheless known for her chastity. At Ephesus, a goddess whom the Greeks associated with Artemis was venerated in an archaic, pre-Hellenic cult image[47] that was carved of wood (a xoanon) and kept decorated with jewelry. The features are most similar to Near-Eastern and Egyptian deities, and least similar to Greek ones. The body and legs are enclosed within a tapering pillar-like term, from which the goddess' feet protrude. On the coins minted at Ephesus, the goddess wears a mural crown (like a city's walls), an attribute of Cybele as a protector of cities (see polos). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Artemis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
