I had once completed the same model in Google sketchup, but never uploaded it. This is the St. Sophia of Thessalonike.

This looks great! Your image is better than the original! :lol:

This is wonderful work. I love the paved ground texture you have here. One comment - the walls of the church and the ground are a similar colour - perhaps you could darken the walls a bit to create more contrast.

Ty :)
I do not have many more stone textures.
This is a bit closer to being completed, although the window texture may change.

It seems more brown than grey from the real pic you posted.

I would indeed change the window texture a little. It's too bright, make it blend with the rest. :)

Is that preview 128X128 and in 256 colours. It's hard to believe. the only two things that could possibly need changing is the colour of the walls and the windows. Apart from that it is just stunning - one of the best buildings I have seen in Civ 3.

EDIT - Oh, one thing - IMO the dome on the first version is better than the second.

I agree with Keroro; the original artwork shown is the better version IMHO and is very, very good.

Does anyone have any good window texture?
Also i will probably change the roof texture again.

The wonder splash possibly will look quite impressive though :)

The wonder splash is amazing. It's just amazing! It's.... unbelievably good!

I'd suggest changing the color of the dome though. :) (in the small pic, don't touch the other one, it's perfect as it is!)

the final version of building & splash are superb. I 'd just move the camera in the splash a bit so that the church is in the center.

Yes the church is better! But

I like the first splash much better....

You might want to change the angle of the "planks" texture for the roof. For some reason, its default position is always 87 degrees; change it to 90 degrees for a smoother look. :)

I will utilise that tip in the future ;)
I have uploaded the file, with two splashes, here:
