CHALLENGE 7 : Mayan Pyramid, step by step (big steps)

Blender Courses Talk

#1

This is how I made my Pyramide.

First the simple one…

1668×811 36.7 KB

Then I decided to do something inspired by this Pyramid :

500×667 80.8 KB

Some Maths, and I made this :

1667×809 37.7 KB

But I didn’t like how unnatural it looked.

So this one was born :

533×532 5.77 KB

564×643 7.33 KB

But starting here, whenever I tried to open a new window it looked like this :
998×500 43.1 KB

I have no idea what I did… help…? :confused:

After that I made some Stairs

866×623 7.57 KB

699×755 13 KB

Stairs-Backup so they don’t crumble (that’s what I think these blocks where for :neutral_face: )

775×562 10.5 KB

715×712 11.3 KB

And at last, the Temple :

621×520 6.18 KB

836×700 13.7 KB

635×725 13.7 KB

The Top

731×780 15.5 KB

Compared to the original, it’s not thaaaaaat bad, is it ?

769×768 11.8 KB

612×792 11.6 KB

Thanks for your comments and feedback ! :grinning:

Did a second try, rounded the pyramid up a little and changed the temple.
The reason I did a second one was because I thought we were supposed to do everything after the first session, and didn’t know about the techniques in the other sessions…

That looks superb - great work!

I have to ask would you be able to supply a FBX model of that object i would love to put that into a Unity file and move around and through the top. It’s as close as I will get to the real thing :slight_smile:

Ni one, very beautiful, ornate and detailed. Now you made me think again about posting mine. But I still am.

yes of course …you just have to tell me how to do it :sweat:
put it on sketchfab?

#15

I think your work is very precise too, and anyway it’s all just playing around to get the hang out of the rules :wink:

Sorry, it has taken me so long too reply … I haven’t been coming to GameDev site for a while now, I’ve been extremely busy with Martial Arts Instruction and Training. Lately it’s taken up all of my free time. And I wasn’t sent email notification that there was a reply :disappointed:.

Now, what I was thinking, was uploading it to Google Drive or Dropbox and then sending a PM with the link, so, I could download the FBX. Or, if the actual FBX isn’t that big, sending it directly to my email account. As for putting it on Sketchfab that is above my paygrade :grinning:, I don’t know how that works, the model is definitely good enough, but, then you would lose control over the model, who has it, who is using it, and possibly modifying it.

#17

This is looking great. I can’t wait to see you texture it. :slight_smile:

#18

I’ll post it when I do the texture :grinning:
but that could take some time because I only work on Blender on semester breaks …

#19

This is nicely done. I really like the detailing at the top.
