I’ve had a project come up that I have decided will take precedence over my other model efforts. At this point I hope to only need to work on it this week, then let the computer do the render next week while I get back to work on the normal models.
I am working on some resource material for the excellent channel Messages of Christ. I have previously worked with this channel before, creating unique renders for his Provo City Center, Sapporo, and Philadelphia videos. This time we are tackling a subject that has long interested both of us, and we have both done extensive research on, the original Nauvoo Temple
Here is the first render from the new project. Everything is accurate to the last known detail at this point, except for a water tank that stood to the right of the font against the wall that probably also served as some type of boiler. Research is still ongoing about that. Also missing are curtains that probably hung in the doorways of the rooms, but that is something we will probably leave out at this point.
Early attempt at Nauvoo basement:
