Great work of recreating architectural design! Love these texures.

I would like to invite you to take part in the weekly Blender Collab

Blender Collab: Week 40 “Architecture”

This is the Blender collaboration week 40 challenge. Don’t be afraid to join, a lot of us are beginners. This is all to practice, to have fun, to learn, and get together. This week’s subject is “ Architecture ”, the complex or carefully designed structure of something. Some ideas to help you on your way; aqueducts, building, waterways, bridges, streets with people, towers, cities and Godzilla … The rules are simple. 1 subject, 1 entry, 1 week. You create whatever object or scene or whatever …

Textures rather than just colouts make a big differance to renders. They can also get very compex to sort out UVs and eventually several layers of textures.

Your temple is looking good.
I just wonder if the scale of the textures leads the eye to see it as a table top model? Those sharp edges might do with a bevel all over too.

I was very much going for a table top model. What I find interesting is the way the crown molding blocks rendered. I modeled them to slot into each other but the edges rendered flat. Very complex indeed.
