Grass

When I was deciding how I wanted the grass to be outside the church I decided that I wanted to create it as a bumpy garden as I felt that that added and fitted in with they mood that we are aiming to create for that church.

Progress Update: Modeling Church Exteriour

Here is a close up of the fence that I have just made to go around the garden of the church

















Here you can see how I changed the shape design from how it was at the beginning. When I look back at the original (bottom pictures) I feel quite pleased at how it has progressed.






Here in this picture (left) is a screen shot of the new roof that I made for the church. I wanted it to look like it has changed shape over time and was not built as perfect as it would be now.



































I have now added more lines onto the church building (interior and exterior) so that its easy for my team to add cut out gaps in the building and add in the windows

























































I have now decided to make the the church tower go higher and I have now started to add a roof.














I have now made the church like it is in my original design (the texture will not get used)
When I have been looking at it I am not been very pleased with how it looks. I think it is too much like a block and I also think that the tower part looks too wide and also it is not high enough.








Here (left) as you can see I wanted to make it a cross from birds eye view.






















































I have now started to create the castellated edge for the church tower.










Here as you can see on the left I have now made the basic shape of the church

Progress Update: Modelling Church Exteriour

Here are my beams so far. I think that they will look good in the church when they are finished.












At last! I am happy with these arches. I am not sure about the ones at the sides at the moment, I would prefer them to be a bit wider.









I have now started to create the tiles for the
church floor, so far I am happy with them.
















I definitely prefer these to my previous arches but I'm still not happy with them.












I'm not very pleased with how these arches look. They look more suited to a house to me.

Gargoyle

I have started to design and create a gargoyle for the church. However I am not very satisfied with my character so far therefore I am not sure whether it will be included.












Below are some gargoyles that I have seen on the internet and like, from the period we are looking at.

Taller or Smaller?

Nathan suggested to make the church tower taller. I'm not certain whether to or not at the moment. I am going to try to get more feedback about which would be better.

Church Research

I did this research after we had chosen what we were doing (what age the church was going to be etc). At the bottom of this post I have left some links to pages and sites that I have found interesting and helpful.

Original Church Object Designs

Here are my church design ideas that our group agreed to do and talk about before we had decided what person was designing which part and what era we were using.
