From the apse of St. Sernin

This is a building I based on the apse of the Romanesque church of St. Sernin in Toulouse. I placed some benches in the chapel spaces if anyone feels like chilling there while it lasts (Ohno 70, 100). It's not a Christian church, it's just modeled after one.

I love it.

Whoa....!
I gotta check that out in-world!

BTW, did you use your (way cool) ringmaker and shapemaker tools to help build those?

LOL, something about that line just grabs me.

Looks excellent Cadroe -- I look forward to exploring it in three-dee.

Thanks!

Olympia, I used ShapeMaker but I used another tool even more, one which rezzes copies of any object into a circle. For instance, first I made one wall with a stained glass window. I linked that and put copies in a circle to form a chapel, then linked the chapel and put copies into a circle around the apse. I'm in the process of making this tool user friendly so I can offer it to people.

Torely, yeah, it does sound funny. But I didn't want people to mistake it for an actual place of worship. I always feel a little weird acting like a tourist inside churches, even when I know I'm supposed to. Although, if anyone wants a build like this to use as a church, I'd give it to them (or make a new one if we agreed on a cool RL model).

As a bit of an aside, today I went to the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in D.C. to see the traveling exhbit on the building of St. Peters. Mainly I wanted to see Michelangelo's 15 ft tall model of the dome, pictured below, although there were many other cool things. It was awesome, and now I wish I could find someone with a sim who wants a life-size replica of the dome It would just fit, and I think you could do it with under 15000 prims!

You're a saint!

This build reminds me of the Pallazi build in Iaconetti (either of those words may be spelled horribly). I think it's by Siggy Romulus. There's also a museum there of old Euro paintings--Rembrandt, Caraveggio and others.

it's an art museum built by sulumor romulus. her and siggy have similar building styles though i would never say that out loud in public. doh

i believe william plans to house real world art on the lower levels and second life art on the upper levels. he's planning a grand opening sometime this month.

bot (is it bot "back on topic" or btt "back to topic?", the aspe looks fantastic. i'll make time to drop by inworld and see it in person.
