Something seems to have gone wrong, and my last posts are not showing up. I hope this works.
This is my White Tower progress. There are still a few textures I want to tweak, but for the most part I'm ready to call it done. These images are all screenshots from Maya with no lighting. I'm trying to decide if I want to try to render from Maya or if I'd rather take it into Unreal and render that way.
The last image is the concept I was working from. I took some liberties with color, and I know the building does not match the tower described in the books, but I liked the concept. I found the concept on a Wheel of Time encyclopedia, and the artist is listed as Richard Boye. (http://encyclopaedia-wot.org/geography/tar_valon/white_tower.html)

Hi Liz! I am so amazingly
Hi Liz!
I am so amazingly flattered that you did this! I love, love, love it. Ihave a question - do you have any shots of the upper part of the tower that is done in 3/4 view? It's really amazing to see this is quasi 3D. It is really so lovely. I love the addition of the rose window over the main doors.

To Rich-
Wow! I never expected you to see this and comment! All my other comments are spam, I wish you had emailed me instead :)
I'm glad you like it! I haven't touched this project in a while, but I'll see if I can post a better image of the top. I'll post a closer image of the rose window too - I put a lot of symbolism into it.
Thanks for looking :)
