Extra practice model, yellow church in Guatemala


For reference material, here is the Church of San Andres Xecul, in Guatemala, (or, the Church of SAX, as the hipsters call it.) ![IMG_3669|690x459]
& btw, here is an example of what I was talking about earlier. I have 2 doors in this scene, & I can only put the cursor on 1 of them to make a pivot point, so how do I get the other door to open? I suppose I’ll just have to wait til we get to that.

Amazing project, love the colors and shapes.
Fine project

  1. Put the 3D cursor where you want to have a pivot point.
  2. Add an Empty object, like the cross-hair. ( Shift a > empty > Plain axes )
  3. Select door object AND then select also the empty. ( Door = dark orange, axes = bright orange )
  4. Be sure empty axes is last selected. ( is active )
  5. Then ctrl p to “Set parent to object” ( Empty is the parent of the door object )
  6. Select the empty and rotate
  7. Empties will not be rendered, because they are empty :wink:

Use Alt p on the door to remove an empty if you wish, nor need for.

Repeat this procedure for all your doors.

Have fun!
