Below is an image of a Roman hare brooch which I have attempted to recreate.

The top one is how I invisage it may have been when new. All modelled, rendered and textured in Lightwave 9.6.
This was done as a trial of Xara Xtreme for use as a vector graphics generator, it works quite nicely.

Some more greek pots for the collection, once again modelled, textured and rendered in Lightwave 9.6

The bands around the centre were created with a weight map, render took approx 35 minutes to complete.

Oven was modelled as part of the kitchen furniture in the Athenian house I am currently working on. Created, modelled and rendered in lightwave 9.6
Comments welcomed.

The Greek house is basically finished now, a few minor tweaks here and there, but its looking pretty good, I have also decided to coin the term Archaeolitecture, so as of the 23/06/2009 at 22:01 this is offically my word.

The tiles are all individual objects, the windows can be opened and the gates and doors etc can also be opened, moved. Im hoping tommorrow to get into the house and start adding some extra details and getting some nice renders.

Im also hoping to get this into vue or getting some vue things into lightwave, but not really sure how to do this. When I find out I think ill write a tutorial on it since there doesnt seem to be much documentation on this subject.

Any comments or suggestions about the model are more than welcomed.

Some more work has taken place on the Athenian house. The plaster texture has been altered slightly to make it a little warmer coloured, the wood has been changed, windows have been added and the stone texture has been lightened slightly.

The colour looks a little odd due to the colour of the roof overpowering the frame.
Still lots more work to be done.
