It's called "Milion" and it was the Byzantine zero-mile marker. It was the center of the world at that time. Traders measure the distance from that point. Here are some links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milion http://www.byzantium1200.com/milion.html Hi! seems like a good building to have, right now we are finishing what we can for deliver the mod the next week hopefully, but better if we have more buildings to make, away from the still needed wonder its good to have too another dome houses, the hipodrome and any other atractive building we can found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMS-Surprise Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I think Haiga Sophia was built twice. First one was burnt in a huge fire. Then they made the iconic one. However, by the time it was restored and added some unoriginal parts. So, I think in this case it can be good to decide which Hagia Sopia will be modeled. here is a link which is the official museum site, you can find it's construction history. http://ayasofyamuzesi.gov.tr/en/history it is tree wasn't two btw. and I think the first one didn't have a dome. it was a wooden building too.

Seems quite obvious that the 3rd and final version of the building would be used since it was completed in AD 537. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 "1. Churches of Hagia Sophia (from right to left): church of Theodosius II, church of Justinian I as in 537 and after the new dome in 562." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcelmare Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 @Alexandermb Good. But it needs a bigger dome Don't forget a big, golden cross on top, and add some crosses to the church too, it's important to emphasize this aspect of Byzantium. It was a stronghold of christianity for 1000 years, and it should strike the eye immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make it as a prop point for multiple usage and could end working as a campaing later or skirmish map "Retrieve the golden cross of the Hagia sophia" or "Steal the golden cross of the Hagia sophia" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackyserious Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 @Alexandermb You could use a placeholder for the meantime, when the dome UV map is placed in the texture pack then, We'll try to come up with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 50k or less haven finished yet deleting the non seen faces nor adjusting the uv's. Did a test on atlas and crash if the mesh is a single object with 50k tris, but as separated meshes as it will be it loads fast as usual: Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but nothing much can be done, just with the lego bricks and domes the mesh started to have 20k+ the amount of domes, circular shapes and windows are the ones with more amount of tris.
