Warcraft II Church - WIP

After working about 2 hours, I finally succeeded to finish the geometry of the Warcraft 2 church. Here it is! I know fountain is still missing, I may add it ulteriorily, now I plan to UVmap it, based on WoW and warcraft 3 textures. But I'm curious what you think about it.

dont waste polies on making that cross "round", its unnescesary.

The stairs might be a bit tiny, too.

for the cross you should use 4 segment cylinders for the cross itself and billboarded planes for the round endings. That way you could free some polies for making a door that opens on a work anim

sexactly!

I've allways wondered why there are crosses on warcraft churches :s

Indeed the cross is too poly.

Interresting thought.

Doesnt seem to fit with the warcraft lore?

I don't think the "holy light" has been crucified - maybe instead of a cross it should be a candlelight

yeah but the cross helps people think is a church

2 hours for that? It's way too much, but aniway it's nice, what can I say. That cross can just be a plane with alpha channel, or make those capsules 4-sided. Of course today's systems can support way more polygons than that, but why waste polygons for something like that?

An even cooler and efficent aproach to the cross would be a 3 sided polygon.
The whole comparing wc3 races to actual religions is something I've never thought about, thanks for bringing it up.

Well, in wacraft I there was a "God" but they changed that..

The cross has become such a familiar symbol, that hardly anybody realizes that it has been used for executions long before and after Christ.

BTW, I'd love to see the model with textures. Looks nice to me so far.

i think a three sides cylinder with billboarded planes with an alpha channel should work fine, as said, use the free polies for a door...
I think u shouldnt smooth the mesh aswell, makes it look a bit blurry, sharp edges would be nicer i think!
And extrude the roof, its only a plane, i think it looks a bit ugly...
