Nice, I'm a sucker for gothic architecture. Not enough time to write an essay atm. Features of gothic architecture - pointed arch and rib vault, which enabled the architects to insert much larger windows letting natural light flood into the interior through the magnificent stained glass windows. The piers often have…
Joopson: Thank you for that info. I looked for a lot of information on Gothic architecture, but I didn't find anything that was particularly helpful (though I didn't search math in gothic architecture). I was just eyeballing the arches and I wasn't real happy with the shape. What is the name of the book that this was in,…

The arches are made from an equilateral triangle; a circle is placed on the bottom two points and expanded until they form an intersection directly on the top vertex of the triangle. Pretty simple. Here is a page from a book I bought a while back on Gothic Math. My main issue is that your…
Butthair: Ok, so there was a slight disconnect with what I knew of Gothic history and how it related to Gothic architecture. Thanks for pointing that out, I may have to make an adjustment to that. I should have done some research. I will mess around with the UV layout and see what I can come up with. I am still concerned…
EDIT: Most recent shot will be put here, actual update on last page. Hey Everyone, I started some assets for a gothic cathedral environment. I am making things modular and I will update with the assets as I go along. I have a tileable floor texture that I did today and a 75% finished high poly column. I have to fix a…
hey! nice progress so far, but I think the coloumns should be much taller than they are now... i think usually 2 times the distance between them (aka diamter of the arch) Also their upper parts needs some love too. They should be large as the capital on them, as they are now it structurally weak as the weight of the arches…
