Water Temple

[Nomadic]

Ok here is the full sized temple. Thanks for the suggestion to check out the Dundjinni forms (I got loads of symbols to work with now heh). I removed the trim in favor of stepped walls (with a thin stream of water running along the lower step).

This is a temple to the Sisters of the Shell, deities of water, healing, and provision of comfort to others. It is maintained by a priestess and her apprentice whom welcome and purify visitors.

Rooms are provided with thick rugs and pillows for sleeping on (no blankets as the temple is quite warm and humid). Food is provided for the weary traveler, as well as bathing pools and meditation and cleansing areas. The centerpiece of the temple though is the grand pool. A wading pool where followers are cleansed and taught by the local priestess. Also provided in this area are prayer rugs on which visitors may clasp hands and meditate with each other. The room farther in is the shrine (which only the priestess may enter). It is where she cleanses herself and prays to the sisters for guidance. The statues you see all around the place are of the sisters.

All the above was mostly spawned from the fact that I thought a project this big needed a story behind it. On the technical side everything was pretty straight forward. The 3d aspect is from soft inner bevels and the lighting effects come from a mix of area lights and cloud noise overlays. Most of the other stuff is texturing and item placement.
