Micket Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi againI felt like modeling something else, so I looked to see if there was anything interesting in the eyecandy thread.Seems like Trajan's column wasn't done yet, so I've started making one.Might have gone a bit high in polycount, but I'll look closer at that when its more or less finished.I probably won't be able to finish this until a 2-3 weekends from now, as exams and other deadlines are getting close, but at least its a start.Added a little bird to the pedestal, and i'm working on the statue on top right now (which is roughly halfway done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micket Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 So I was thinking.. the guy on top isn't actually Trajan.. its Pope Sixtus V (so its from around 1590). I've copied the new statue (as Trajans actual statue is lost), but the book and key is to modern right? Maybe a papyrus roll and a sword or something instead?

Enrique Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Looking awesome Micket.Here's Giovanni's Paolo painting of it if you want inspiration about how it may have looked (use the enlarge & zoom tool to see the statue better)http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/paintings/giovanni-paolo-panini-a-capriccio-of-roman-5426683-details.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micket Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Kind of hard to tell what he was holding there.I think i'll replace the book with some scroll and maybe keep his other hand empty.In total, i'm now up at around 2000 triangles. A bit high probably?.Statue part: 566 trianglesTower part: 879 trianglesPedestal: 179 trianglesBird decoration: 4*96 trianglesShould i try to cut something down?

Mythos_Ruler Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The statue may have been something like this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micket Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Another wipI don't have time to make a new statue, so i'll just wrap this up and stop there.Simple to change the statue part. Perhaps have it exchangeable in-game even, with that prop-point thing. I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Augustus? Are a statue similar with Trajan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps have it exchangeable in-game even, with that prop-point thing. I dunno.I know you won't have time to change it, but that statue looks really bizarre for a monument to conquest. It seems like an old scholar or something, which I'm guessing is not the impression that would have been desired I would imagine something more aggressive and imperial. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micket Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 2156 trianglesUnwrappedI kept the statue part separate, with its own seperate UV-map as well.No actual modeling changes since the last screenshots.As usual, I won't be texturing anything( Also, could we possible change the forum rules to allow uploading *.blend files? )trajan.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micket Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I realized i forgot the fence around the top, though I don't know what it would have looked like back then as it has also been replaced.Perhaps there is some existing art assets which can be copied?At least for now, I'm leaving this as it is. Feel free to modify it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 trajan column was definitely painted. Also, what Trajan statue is holding is an orb represent the world. Yes, the Romans knew the world was round way back in 1st century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
