Description After playing around a bit with bump mapping yesterday, i thought to myself 'hey, what would look really sweet, and is based around bump maps? egyptian heiroglyphs of course!'

first off, i made a basic temple structure in sketch up and deliberately parts that appeared broken (naturally, that part was relatively easy... i just have a knack for breaking things)
i then exported this model to 3ds max and added various trees-- only recently i noticed the small library that max has... exactly where it came from, beats me!
i found the lotus objects in a project i did 3 years ago.
as for the glyphs themselves, a google image search was all it took!

so there you have it... eat your heart out digitalblasphemy.com!!

btw., this monstrosity rendered in 30 minutes.

naturally, that was my ultimate goal... fully sick sock rockin' coolness!
glad you like the pads - the texture is mega-specular and glossy (like glass) and the image came with max!

true! i tried to get a fog (dust cloud) effect without totally hiding the background image, but unticking 'fog background' meant that the fog didnt pass in front of it at all-- go figure
