40 Hr: Project Cathedral
For the last project in school this year, we are supposed to make something that relates to anything we learned about, something really specific, or something general. Having done my previous thesis paper on Cathedrals, I decided to continue with that theme and build a cathedral with Sandbox. Due to a bit of confusion however, my project was started late, but I still hope to get the majority of it done on time. Thus, you'll be seeing plenty of updates, versions, and pictures (maybe even a demo video!) in the next several days.
The Cathedral I'm basing mine off of is the cathedral in Chartres in France: Chartres Cathedral in Google Maps
And here are some visuals I'm using:
Merriam Webster's Gothic Architecture Cathedral
Notre Dame
v0.2 Screenshots:
v0.2 Screenshot
v0.2 Screenshot
v0.2.3 Screenshot:
The Apse: v0.2.3 Eventually I'll have the railing come around this part and connect on the other side.
Fix:
Problem with Apse partially fixed.
Geometry errors.
Added:
Partial T-section for top of Cathedral.
v0.2.4 Screenshots:
The Apse: v0.2.4 I fixed the apse so it's identical on each side.
Geometry glitch I had to fix this by undo-ing some of my work. And then make sure I wouldn't make the glitch again by re-doing it.
Apse Railing: v0.2.4 The early stages.
Apse Railing: v0.2.4 Part 2 The early stages with detailing.
Fix:
Apse, now geometrically fine
Minor glitches that appeared when building railing
Small geometry errors from my first go around
Added:
Rounder Apse
Railing part way around apse
Minor Detailing
v0.2.4-v0.3.5 Screenshots
Screenshots
Fix:
Apse top, sides, rear
Railing around apse
Geometry glitches
Added:
New railing design
More Flying Buttresses (as well as one on the rear of the apse)
Different textures
Cross-section of cathedral in progress
Current Downloadable Version: v0.5
Any tips, or comments are more than welcome. Expect a version 3 build up and ready for play sometime soon.
Current Development Version:v0.5
Fix:
Trimmed entire Cathedral
Removed massive parts of sides and top
Removed all Flying Buttresses
Added:
New Flying Buttress (much more to scale and realistic)
New roof
New Windows + Detailing
Same railing but improved minutely
Walkways along side
And more...
Coming:
Towers at entrance to Cathedral
Detailing to the outside walls
Running paths along roof which intersect and Cross Section
And more!
Percentage done:
- 80% Outside
Official Trailer:
Muller Cathedral

Re: 40 Hr: Project Cathedral
It sounds difficult, and the visuals make it look very difficult. But, you've made a good start, and hopefully you can do it!
Good luck !

Thanks
I'm working pronto, and will post any updates from the in-game browser itself.
I love Steam.

Re: 40 Hr: Project Cathedral
Update from in-game Steam Web Browser: I doubt I'll get a v3 build up tonight as I've only worked an hour compared to the 3 I usually work on this. You will get screenies though, and I'm pretty pleased with what was accomplished!
Fix:
Apse end of the Cathedral was fixed geometry wise.
Added:
Railing part way around. I hope to get partial detailing done.
That's all for now. Current version is v0.2.4
