The latest of my insanely-difficult Bryce projects - the great Sanjaya era Hindu temples of Prambanan at the ancient city of Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia. :D

This thing was so complicated that it crashed Bryce about a dozen times today. :eek:

Nice! Wow, you really put your rear in gear... you finished this thing rather quickly! :)
 
I was going to use this as an improvement, but now realize that it looks way to complex and impressive. I'll have to find a place to fit it in as a wonder.

Fantastic model. What's next? :lol:
 
I had to count each of the bell-shaped structures on the photos. Bad eye strain on the weekend. :crazyeye:
 
Great work on this baby. I hope you are submitting it for a competition. :goodjob:
 
Yep, it's in the competition. Vote if you haven't yet. It's a tight competition this time with only three. Likely that I'll lose again. Doesn't matter. The only thing I'm interested in is living up to the title of "the Mad." :D

Time to look for a new insanely-difficult thing to create. :D :D :D
 
Some generic (and smaller scale) Indian temples would useful to me, though not as challenging for you. A jain or hindu temple complex would be useful for Rise of Asia too, obviously. ;)
 
From a quick google image search I came up with these pics:


A fairly simple temple - maybe the easiest one to do.


A couple of riverside temples.

The Ranakpur Temples, and some pics:



The Ranakpur temples seem to be up your 'Mad' street. ;) :D Of course Blue Monkey might have further suggestions.
 

The basic shape of a Hindu temple, though you probably already know that. ;)


This is a Mandir - though it wouldn't necessarily need quite so much detail. Unless you were truely mad. :p


This is, oh wait, where did this come from. :mischief:

One massive picture of a temple - at Khajurahao apparently. Linked due to extraordinary size of picture. You'd definately be mad to take this on. :)

Personally I'd like to see the first Jain image I posted above, and the Mandir on this post, but it's up to you.
 
That Mandir looks like crazy fun. :devil:

Now how am I going to make all those little statues and the pretty temple girls? :crazyeye: :crazyeye: :crazyeye:

I'll put it the plain Jain temple and the Mandir on my to-do list after I finish my Korean buildings. :D

...am...very...tempted...to...do...Khajurahao... :D :D :D :D
 
You finished it off nicely. I'd been keeping watch on the preview of this. Wonderful work.:goodjob: :)

Click to expand...
Is it possible get static figures from Poser to Bryce (or whatever else you use for those awesome buildings)? Would it work? If so, a few simple figures repeated, with mirroring, etc. and a texture to match the building ...

I'll be posting some Hindu temple images over in the AD thread tonight. The Mandir above is just the highest part of a temple (kind of like the bell tower is on a Gothic cathedral).
 
It's possible to import Poser objects, I think. Results might not be too great but the individual statues won't really be noticeable at civ-level anyway. One thing that I am a bit concerned about is the render time. The Prambanan building doesn't have tiers of statues on the outside and was made mostly by basic shapes, but it still took quite a while to render given its complexity.
