New image for the Temple project with the missing compositing. I had forgotten to link the output of the color balance to the composite node. The next picture is of the corridor as it is coming along so far.
The next items on the list for the Spaceship corridor are the control panels on the left and right bulkhead walls.

I completed part 1 of the Temple tutorial last night and as it turns out the problem I was having with the roof tiles was not a problem at all. The tiles were showing up on the roof but in different orientations for each side of the roof and I was perplexed. I decided to wait, see what he was going to do because things looked different on my computer, try his way or a work around I came up with. As it turns out, my ‘work around’ was actually the way he ended up completing the process. 🙂
So, part 1 is complete and on to part 2 this morning (1:45am again), sky and a light set up so I could get a first look at the cycles render. Here are two pictures showing an internal render with temporary lights set up and a screen shot starting part 2.
 Temporary Lights, no textures (Blender Internal)
Starting Part 2, rendering with Cycles. I am actually a little bit farther than this but forgot to take a screen shot before left for work this morning.
Here is the latest render of the temple project along with a new project I am starting.

Spaceship Corridor
This is just the start of one side of a bulkhead. It is a slow start as I had only a few minutes before bedtime but I promise this one will be great when it is complete.
No new pictures for you today as the image is very similar to yesterday. I added some architectural features on the top, added an additional top slab so it looks a little like a sandwich (you will see what I mean when I post again with a new picture). The architectural features were placed between the upper and lower parts of the roof. I’m sorry but you will have to wait and see. 🙂
Note: Tonight I am going to install the 30 trial of Maya 2013 🙂 to play only. 30 days does not seem long enough.
I was able to get past the duplifaces explanation and on to complete the project. The temple is well on its way as can be seen in this latest screen shot
As you can see in this screen shot there is not much different from yesterday. This is the first time using duplifaces and his explanation of what they are and how they work was a little confusing. I will do better tonight with listening and hopefully understanding what he is saying.
Last night I also downloaded the 30 day trial version of Maya 2013 for looking at / experimenting with and no I do not plan on purchasing a $4000.00 program, I just want the experience with this application.
Started a new project called “Temple” on Monday 9/3/2012. Here is the screen shot of the first column.
