Lubbock Texas Temple
Look close at this image of the Lubbock Texas Temple model. You will see that the spire looks really funny. I spent time on this update looking into proportions and measurements. In the process I found that I had the spire to narrow, and possibly to short. We shall see if it gets taller as I go along. Most of what I worked on is not obvious. Lots of little tweaks and fixes that will hopefully get me closer to a realistic look. I need to finish the spire, enclose the archways along the raised center section, and finish adding windows to the North Side of the temple. Then I can finally get into the grounds. A couple more times through with this one before it is done, I think.

Lots of textures and lots of details. For a simpler temple this one has a lot to do still. The base course of stones here is beautiful, that nice darker stone contrasts well with the upper stone. I still have the inscriptions, the grounds, the spire… This model is still a few sessions away from completion. Here is today’s work:

Sometimes the best way to get the details right is to start adding the texture and allow it to be the guide. I kind of did that here, cutting a few side pieces out of photos I had taken and using them as templates to line up the trim pieces and windows. And once you have done that, you may as well just change the temporary texture into the final. I spent an hour+ tweaking the texture for the Empress White Granite that makes up the majority of this temple. I think I have finally found a way that will allow me to use one texture without it looking like it is just repeatedly stamped across the side of the model.
